Default Buck

Hey all I just picked up a 110 Buck again to add to my EDC rotation. Carried these alot in 80's and 90's like alot here on board. Glad I finally got another one. Quality is still 100%. Looking at the 110 has me wondering why the folks at buck never came out with a 110 with assisted open and serrated blade. Just a thought.

Does make a great EDC for multiple tasks. Buck does a great job with their heat treatment as I understand. Was torn between the 110 and the Alpha Hunter folder which also has the 420 H.C. so I bought the alpha for a hunting knife. Assisted opening would be nice. The CSAR is rugged with 154 CM steel but heavy at 8.5 oz. love those Bucks.

Yes a Buck 110 lite same blade in lighter case with assisted open in regular blade or serrated.Most of all my lock blades have the serrated.


would be nice. Bet you couldn't buy them for $27.00 like you can for regular model.

Default Buck 110

This my nearly 40 year old 110. Except for picking up a little "character" over the years, it's as good as new. BTW, have any of you seen the new 110 auto ??

Actually, you can get a partially serrated blade on the 110 if you special order it from the factory. I've carried several brands over the years, but I always come back to my Bucks. I've got a 110, (doesn't everybody?), found it's a little too big for EDC. I prefer a 112, or a Duke. They each have a three inch blades, which is the legal limit hereabouts.

I have and carry daily the Buck 105 Pathfinder fixed blade. Bought it last year love the quality. I had several compliments just from people seeing the nice rosewood and brass handle. Carried my grandfathers Olsen which was made in Solingen, Germany but got the Buck Knife to replace it as I do not want to loose the Knife my grandfather gave to me. Has a notch for each deer skinned with it. Over 200 notches looks as it came that way as entire handle is completely notched.

I remember when the 110 first came out and took the knife world by storm. It was around 1965 when kids in my grade school started carrying them. Yes even 4th graders had pocket knives and good ones at that. They were amazingly good compared to everything else we saw on a regular basis. Schrade made some good blades but the locking mechanism and they super sharp blades made the 110 an instant favorite.

I still have a 110 (like everyone) but I rarely carry it. It's too big for me really. And I like my assisted opening Kershaw Blur with S30V steel. It holds an edge forever even though I've never had it as sharp as my 110 gets. It's pretty dang sharp though. Plenty sharp enough considering what I put it through.

The 110 is one of those rare knives that really changed how people look at knives.

This is my rig for tramping around out in the boondocks. I've posted

I always say you can't go wrong with a Buck 110,or any Buck made in the USA. That's my opinion of Buck knives!

It took me 30 years to do it, but I wore out a110. The lock no longer worked. I sent it in to Buck with 2 others. New blades, and polished $10 each.

It may be the smallest knife actually made by Buck but they sell a Swiss army style pen knife with their name on it that was probably made in China. It's very sharp though. I have one someplace.

BUCK, is one of the very last great American company's left. Still family owned, and run right.

What has always impressed me about them is their commitment to their classic designs. While developing new "modern" designs.

They also give you the ability to have a knife built to your specs within reason. Not a custom shop, for sure, but pic from these options and design your own. For not a lot more than a standard knife.

Their new stuff leaves me cold, but their classic stuff really speak to me. Classic iconic well thought out designs.

Like I said, I wore one out, sent it in with a half worn out one, and a broken one from eBay. All came back looking new, with new blades, $10 each. You just cannot beat that for service.

I've been carrying a Buck 110 daily for over thirty years, and don't see myself ever stopping. The heft of all that brass is comforting to me, all business, no frills. Suits me fine.

I still have my knife Buck gave me in the Early 1960's just before going over to Viet-Nam.
I keep it in a tool drawer with other cherished mementos.

X is the date code for 1990. At that time most, if not all, Buck slip joints were made by the large U.S. knife manufacturer Camillus. Traditionally most of the U.S. knife manufacturers made batches of knives for each other without publicizing it.

I like carrying the largest Stockman that Buck sold in a standard Trapper pouch. They were 4 1/4" closed. All of them were made by Camillus. Unfortunately I did not buy a Buck branded one before Camillus went out of business. I did not want to pay what the Bucks sell for so my pair are branded Remington and Camillus. My Camillus has the same stainless blades as the Bucks. The one I use the most is branded Remington and has 1095 carbon steel blades. I watched one sell on eBay that was assembled with stainless blades stamped Buck, the green Delrin used on Remingtons and a Camillus side medallion. A collector paid a high price for it. Camillus used union labor to assemble good working knives that held an edge well.

Edit to add: I call Buck 110s and 112s rocker locks or back locks, not slip joints. 110s and 112s have always been made my Buck themselves.
