January 24, 201214 yr I've always been interested in pocket knives and that includes Bo and Luke's. I was wondering if there is any story behind them? Does anyone have any pix of them? Or know of a episode that one or the others knife was shown really good so I can do a screencap.
January 25, 201214 yr I know their knives get used quite a bit, but the first scene I remembered was Luke digging out Daisy's bullets from behind the target in 'Officer Daisy Duke'. The screengrab below is the best I could get - I didn't get to see the handle. If you look at the inset picture (where I've tweaked the levels a bit), it appears that the knife is made by Buck. Looking at their website the closest current product I could find is a model called 'Ranger' - check it out here.I'm going to be away from my DVDs for a few days, so won't be able to look for any more until the start of next week. Maybe someone else will post pics in the meantime.
January 25, 201214 yr Author Once again great work Hoss! Thanks! I know their knives were shown regularly, but they never seem to be shown long enough to get a good look. I gotta keep my eyes open.....I'm fixin to start watching them from the beginning again.
January 25, 201214 yr I've always been interested in their knives too Sissy. Great job with that screengrab Hoss. I own the biggest knife Buck makes. It's NOT a folding kniife like the one pictures. It's called the General...no kidding...it really is. I don't think it was named after our favorite car though. According to my trusty notebook Luke's knife isn't a Buck. It's a Barlow. He's a country boy so I'm sure he has more than one...LOL I found out it was a Barlow by using the closed captioning on the episode "Jude Emery"
January 25, 201214 yr According to my trusty notebook Luke's knife isn't a Buck. It's a Barlow. He's a country boy so I'm sure he has more than one...LOLBarlow's website is here if anyone finds a decent picture and needs to make comparisons.

I collect pocket knives......most of mine are the Rough Riders. Wow the General, that's so cool....now I'm gonna look it up and see what it looks like!Now before I start at One Armed Bandits again I gotta watch Jude Emery just fer the heck of it and to check out about Luke's knife! By the way ever been to the Smoky Mountain Knife Works (known as the knife factory in my family) in Sevierville Tennessee....we go every year when we go to TN fer winter break. IT'S KNIFE GALORE! Here is their website: http://www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerce/main_front.jsp?siteFlag=eknifeworks It's a great place fer knife people, they have thousands of knives!
January 25, 201214 yr Author Barlow's website is here if anyone finds a decent picture and needs to make comparisons.Thanks
January 25, 201214 yr Author Here is one just like the one Hoss posted but its called folding hunter and its bigger than the ranger. http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&productID=3044Someone on another website leaving a review fer the folding hunter said that it was just like Bo and Luke's! Well there's one knife mystery solved wonder how many different ones they used........Now there's a new item on my wish list....a folding hunter pocket knife!
January 25, 201214 yr Author POSSUM ON A GUMBUSH!!!! I just found out that my daddy has the folding hunter in his collection!!!!
January 26, 201214 yr Author In Jude Emery we get to see Bo's and Daisy's knives and like Luke's in Officer Daisy Duke they are both the folding Hunter Buck knife...as far as I can tell.
January 26, 201214 yr Author And from Miz Tizdale on the Lam: Luke's knife...this one appears to be bone.
February 3, 201214 yr Author I remembered another knife scene from Gold Fever and again Luke uses the same Buck knife that I've been talking about. Let me know if you want to see some screengrabs.
February 5, 201214 yr OK, I'm going to derail this thread, but...Couldn't help but notice the faux weathering on the wood- typical movie set two-color paint job to make it look like worn wood. You can see the lighter color dry-brushed over the darker color.OK, back to the knife discussion!M
February 15, 201214 yr I was watching 'Arrest Jesse Duke' earlier when I realized that there was a good close-up of Bo's knife when he cuts himself free from the rollbar of the red Jeep. It looks like it's identical to the Buck knife owned by Sissy's father.
February 15, 201214 yr Author Good eye Hoss. I'm suprised I hadn't thought of that scene myself. I can't wait to get a knife of my own like it.......my dad says I can't have his.....the blade on his has been reshaped so I decided I don't want it anyway!
April 14, 201214 yr Author Here's another knife....it can be seen in Daisy's Song and Mary Kaye's Baby.From Daisy's songFrom Mary K's baby
April 14, 201214 yr I was watching 'Arrest Jesse Duke' earlier when I realized that there was a good close-up of Bo's knife when he cuts himself free from the rollbar of the red Jeep. It looks like it's identical to the Buck knife owned by Sissy's father.It's a good possibility that's a Buck 110. I own one. The knife blade is about 3 1/2" and altogether the knife is a little under 9" in length opened. That's my Buck 110 on the right and my Buck 55 pocket knife on the left. I got mine at Amazon and for about half of the price on the Buck website.
May 16, 201214 yr I spotted this knife in 'Too Many Roscos'. It's from the scene where Bo and Luke are tied up in the same shack as Rosco (although they haven't discovered him at this point). The main part of the handle is bone colored, so it may be the same as the one Sissy saw in 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam' (see above). The handle also features a fancy gold portion nearest the blade:I'll have to leave the identification of his one to you guys. Everyone here doesn't own a knife (unless they live in Limerick - joke for Irish readers there ), so I have no personal experience.
June 2, 201214 yr i gotta get me one of those. the 110. ive had a few cheap knives, multi tools, but they're all to big and bulky to carry everywhere, this looks like just the thing. Made in USA!
June 7, 201214 yr well after seeing this thread, i had to have one of my own. i went to bass pro shop and looked at the 110 hunter. as soon as i held the knife, felt how smoothly it opened, how well it fit in my hand, i fell in love. i would have walked out with it on my side, but i knew that if i waited, i could get it for 20 bucks cheaper online... so know i await delivery.
June 7, 201214 yr Author My brother was gonna get my a Buck 110 fer a graduation present but then he found out that I knew he was gonna and now he won't because he wanted it to be a surprise. Now I keep begging fer one anyways but he still says no. And congrats to you General Jackson on getting yours!
June 7, 201214 yr This is exactly why I love this website. I'm surrounded by folks who love the Dukes of Hazzard so much that it even matters to them what kind of knives the Dukes had. I definitely belong here!
