Buck 110

Fiddler1537 · May 7, 2019

Got mine in the 60s and carried out for years. Wore out many cases. Haven't carried it for decades but wouldn't part with it for anything. Too many memories....

Does anyone on this list NOT have one?
This is mine, bought sometime in the sixties because the guy who made the holster was my supervisor at a boatyard I worked at in the summer of 1970. Skinned a cow elk last November with it.

I have 2 engraved versions. One is Pheasant's Forever and the other is the Eagle Scout version.

Buck 110? Never heard of it...

...other than the fact that it was part of the unofficial uniform of every boy in my High School during the early 1970's. If you didn't have that leather sheath on your belt there was something wrong with you.

Got one t'other day at Bass Pro. Nice. At first I tbought it was heavy but I LOVE the way it feels in the hand and has grown on me a whole lot. Anybody have one or had one? Take care,

Everybody over the age of 40 has a Buck 110.

One of the greatest knives ever created. I own twelve of them. Buck 110 has been around for 55 years now. If someone hasn't heard of it yet they might have never heard of the Ruger 10/22 or the .41 Remington Magnum either. 1964 was the year.

I took a photo of mine. Apparantly it has the ebony handles and I think they look neat!

I think it was the first lack back folder and was produced by Chuck Buck. There are several models and a 112 that's a bit smaller.

It wasn't the first lockback folding knife, as I recall, but it was the first well-known, all-round-versatile folding hunter with a back lock. It set the pattern for countless imitators and variations.

It's just a masterpiece of design.

I can't remember the man's name, but the holder of Alaska Guide License #1 wrote that the Buck 110 was his choice for butchering and skinning game up to the size of brown bears.

Nope. Never heard of it.

The fun part about a older Buck is using the date chart to remind yourself of how long you’ve had it. My 110 dates to 1994.

After giving a few away, I think that I am down to four Buck 110's.

The question should have been, " Has anyone here NOT heard of the Buck 110"! LOL

Still have mine from the "old days".

Buck 110 is often imitated but seldom equaled.

If not the first lockback per se , it definately created the concept of, and general acceptance of a folding knife as all around hunting knife .

IIRC , my first one circa 1974 , and carried daily for about a decade . Sometimes in the belt sheath, sometimes front pocket, sometimes in back pocket along side wallet .

Pro Tip - Wear in belt sheath , then tip over your canoe in some rapids on a BSA canoe trip. The sheath will subsequently be perfectly molded to the knife .

Present from my wife in 1988:

Around twenty years later had Bob Schrap make the horizontal belt sheath:

(Actually, now that I look at it closely, it’s a 510. Oh well. Guess it’ll do anyway!)

When we were dating my future wife asked what I wanted for Christmas. I said a Buck knife. She bought me a Buck 119 Special. I thought everyone knew what a Buck knife was. The next June for my birthday I got my 110.

I know you have to be kidding, because I am having a really difficult time believing that anyone on this forum does NOT know of the Buck 110.

My first was in 1979, when I started in EMS.

It rode with me for many a call, until it finally got replaced (at work) in about 1995 or so.

I have maybe 4 or 5 now, but my original one still gets carried once in a while, and the memories it brings me are priceless.

Well, the 119 is among my favorite Buck knives, also. I have two, one being the special 75th anniversary model. Also like the 105 and the longer 120.

I have no 110, but do have the Puma version.

A Canadian fellow used his Schrade equivalent to kill a cougar that attacked him on Vancouver Island, a leading place for cougar attacks.

My wife never gave me a knife. Said I already had too many. You got lucky with your woman there...
