Buck Knives offers numerous types of knives, including hunting knives, pocket knives, fishing knives, cutlery, and even custom knives. According to the company, its knives are the best due to the company’s use of quality materials, thoughtful designs, and refined processes.

Although the company’s knives may be high quality, legal action against Buck Knives says the company falsely advertised its products in order to charge a higher price.

According to the Buck Knives class action lawsuit, the company marketed its knife-sheath as “Made in USA.” Although the knives were manufactured in America, the sheaths were allegedly imported. As a result, consumers contend Buck Knives couldn’t legally market the combination products as “Made in USA.”

Plaintiffs in the case say they were misled by this marketing and paid a higher price for the knife-sheath combinations than they would have if they knew the truth about the products’ origins.

Buck Knives hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the plaintiffs’ allegations with a $200,000 settlement.

Under the terms of the Buck Knives “Made In USA” settlement, Class Members can collect a cash payment for every knife purchased. 

The settlement allows up to $10 per eligible knife purchased. Individuals can claim up to three knives for a maximum payment of $30, while households can collect up to $60 for six eligible knives.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 1, 2022. 

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Aug. 8, 2022.

In order to receive a payment from the Buck Knives “Made In USA” settlement, Class Members must submit a valid claim form by June 1, 2022.
