From M. Brett :
All I can tell you is that at one time the Buck company was disinclined to make blades that might be used for "killing" humans on religious grounds. They are a very religious family and support good works around the globe. Any non standard (grade II) Buck knives are sent to missionaries to give out as working tools, a long time company policy.
That attitude changed as the small company became a larger and more international company. In fact historical research has established that Chuck Buck's father and grand father made knives for US troops going overseas in WWII.
The Curtis/Kurtis guy turns up every now and then claiming the scissors design is his. In fact the scissors design was a Soviet Russian design, and I personally provided the (then very rare) Russian bayonet (Captured in Vietnam, which I then paid $350.00 in 1972) to Eickhorn in the late 1970's when he was doing legal battle about his wire cutter bayonet(way before Lan-Cay and the Army M9).
That's all I've got.
