“We are thrilled to be featured on the Sportsman Channel, showcased as the American icon we’ve become. This is a huge year for Buck Knives with the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of our most famous knife, the 110 Folding Hunter. This knife paved the way and led us to become the company we are today,” said CJ Buck, President and CEO of Buck Knives. “A special thank you goes to Rusted Rooster Media for producing this piece and for InterMedia Outdoors and Sportsman Channel for their willingness in airing it.”
“When we think about legendary and iconic American brands, we definitely think about Buck Knives – every sportsman has held a Buck Knife. It was clear that we had to find a way to celebrate the model 110’s anniversary during 2014, and by developing a behind the scenes story about the family, the story, the legacy, we’ve accomplished a perfect celebration,” said Graig Hale vice president of business development for Sportsman Channel. “Based on the success of the Fred Bear: Father of Bowhunting special we aired in 2013 – also produced by Ruster Rooster Media – we discovered that our viewers have been clamoring for in depth stories of their favorite brands – Buck Knives answered the calling for more!”
