Buck Knives Launches 2026 New Product Lineup, Headlined by the 110 & 112 Slim Heritage Elites

Buck Knives, Inc., a global leader in hunting knives, everyday carry (EDC), and outdoor tools, announces the official release of its 2026 new product lineup, now available for purchase at www.buckknives.com and through Authorized Buck Knives Retailers.

Building on more than a century of American craftsmanship, Buck's latest lineup introduces a diverse range of knives designed for modern users, from backcountry hunters to everyday carry enthusiasts, while staying rooted in the brand's iconic heritage.

Leading the 2026 class are the 110 and 112 Slim Heritage Elites, a refined evolution of two of Buck's most legendary knives.

A Modern Classic Redefined: The 110 & 112 Slim Heritage Elites

The new Slim Heritage Elites bring a contemporary upgrade to the timeless 110 Folding Hunter and 112 Ranger. Designed for everyday carry without sacrificing the unmistakable Buck identity, these knives deliver:

  • MagnaCut steel blades with BOS heat treatment for superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance
  • A slimmer, lighter profile that is 0.25" thinner than the original 110 — making them ideal for pocket carry
  • Integrated pocket clips for modern EDC convenience
  • Premium materials: Genuine ebony handle inlays with and your choice of brass or nickel silver bolsters
  • The trusted lockback design, maintaining the strength and reliability users expect from a classic Buck

The result is a knife that honors tradition while meeting the demands of today's users—a true bridge between heritage and innovation.

Modern EDC Performance: The 724 Mustang

Expanding Buck's everyday carry lineup, the 724 Mustang introduces a modern mid-lock design built for versatility and control. With its lightweight construction and streamlined profile, the Mustang is engineered to transition seamlessly from jobsite tasks to everyday use. Key features include:

  • Stonewashed, BOS heat treated 420HC steel in a drop point blade shape, with thumbhole deployment
  • Mid-lock lockback mechanism for enhanced strength and stability
  • Reversible deep-carry pocket clip, with options for a lanyard
  • Lightweight, anodized aluminum handle, available in Blue, Dark Blue, or Orange

Designed for comfort, reliability, and ease of use, the Mustang delivers a fresh take on a practical EDC tool.

Expanding Performance In The Field: Alpha Backcountry Series

For hunters and outdoor professionals, Buck expands its rugged fixed-blade Alpha Series lineup with three new Alpha Backcountries: The 662 Alpha Scout Backcountry, the 663 Alpha Guide Backcountry, and the 664 Alpha Hunter Backcountry.

Built for field dressing game and tough use in demanding environments, these fixed blades feature:

  • Burnt Bronze Cerakoted 420HC steel drop point blades for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance
  • VersaFlex® rubber handles and spine jimping for a secure grip in all conditions
  • Optimized blade geometries tailored for field processing and backcountry tasks
  • Lightweight, ergonomic designs paired with durable Kydex sheaths

These tools are purpose-built for reliability when it matters most.

Buck Performance, Built To Last

Across the 2026 lineup, Buck Knives continues its commitment to purpose-built design, combining premium materials with precision manufacturing to create tools that perform in real-world conditions. From advanced blade steels like MagnaCut to rugged, field-ready construction in its fixed blades and refined, everyday-carry designs, each product reflects more than a century of craftsmanship and innovation. Every knife is built with durability, reliability, and long-term performance in mind, and is backed by Buck's industry-leading Forever Warranty — ensuring these tools are made to be trusted and passed down for generations.
