The Great Idaho Show - CJ Buck CEO - Buck Knives

In this episode of The Great Idaho Show, I sit down with CJ Buck — CEO of Buck Knives — a company proudly headquartered in Post Falls, Idaho, with over 300 employees and a legacy that spans generations.

We dive into the story behind one of America’s most trusted knife makers, explore what it means to lead a family-founded brand built on integrity and craftsmanship, and talk about the Idaho values that continue to shape their operations.

From the factory floors in Post Falls to the hunting packs of generations of outdoorsmen, Buck Knives are more than tools — they’re a symbol of purpose, durability, and pride in place. CJ shares how their philosophy of “design with intent” keeps them grounded in tradition while innovating for the future.

Whether you’re a knife collector, outdoors enthusiast, or simply proud of what Idaho builds, this episode is a tribute to the craftsmanship and character of the Gem State.
