Overview

Buck's Shift Mechanism is back with the reintroduction of the Paradigm. Improved for 2021, the 590 famous bolster locking knife has been converted to an automatic on the 591 models. Offering four PRO-level knives in either assisted opening or automatic versions, the Paradigm is back with a facelift boasting high end CPM-S35VN stainless steel and G10 handles. Easily opened with the slide of the bolster, the Paradigm and Paradigm Shift are innovative, deep carry everyday knives for those who appreciate the finer things.

The Paradigm Shift automatic knife deploys in an instant when the Shift Mechanism bolster lock is deactivated. Simply slide the Cerakoted bolster up and your knife is open! Denoted with gold fasteners, the Paradigm Shift is designed with premium S35VN steel and durable G10 handles to ensure edge retention, strength, and durability. A Cerakoted pocket clip allows for easy carry (where legal), and the bolster lock prevents accidental deployment. It closes the same way as it opens - by sliding the bolster open to unlock the blade. Lock it closed by sliding the bolster back in place.

About the Maker

Buck Knives
Buck Knives

A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt made each knife by hand, using worn-out file blades as raw material. His handiwork was greatly appreciated during World War II. Hoyt's eldest son Al had relocated from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego California after finishing a stint in the navy a decade earlier. Hoyt and his wife Daisy moved in with Al and his young family in 1945 and set up shop as H.H. Buck and Son. Following the death of his father, Al kept the fledgling custom knife business going until incorporating Buck Knives, Inc. in 1961. Al introduced his son, Chuck, to the knife business at an early age and Chuck and his wife, Lori, were both involved when the company was incorporated. In 1964, the knife industry was revolutionized with the introduction of the Model 110 Folding Hunter, making Buck Knives a leader in the field. A position we hold proudly today. Chuck worked his way up through the company serving as President and CEO for many years before handing over the reins to his son, CJ, in 1999. Chuck remained active as Chairman of the Board until his passing in 2015. Lori now serves on the Board of Directors and is actively involved with Buck promotional events throughout the U.S., continuing Chuck's legacy. CJ, the 4th generation family member to run Buck Knives and current CEO, President, and Chairman, started out with the company on the production line in 1978. He has been quoted saying, "We have been helping people thrive with reliable and trustworthy edged products for over a century. Since our own name is on the knife, our quality, focus, and attention to detail is very personal." Hoyt and Al Buck's ingenuity may have put the company on the map. But it is our ongoing commitment to developing innovative new products and improving what we have by third and fourth generation Buck family members that have made Buck the successful knife maker it is today.
