Howdy, as much I would like to have a Buck 110 it´s way out of reach to me here in Brazil.You see, there´s a vendor here asking about 200,00 bucks for a 110 with ebony scales but I can ask a friend living in Houston to buy one for me and bring it next august.
As for a technical issue: How is the Buck´s blade secured? I have a Chinese made Kershaw folder, Wildcat Ridge, a good knife but not on the league of the 110. However it has a center pin in the front bolster that secures the blade.The Buck hasn´t one.
Is the Buck´s blade as secure without that pin( At least it´s not visible ) than the blade of the Kershaw?
Thanks, regards, Ray

My favorite knife
I am a huge fan of the 110. I have carried a 110 of some sort daily for the last 30 years or more. Currently have the 110 LT on my belt and love it. Not near as pretty as the regular 110 but works just as well and half the weight.
My first 110 was a gift from my father the first year I deer hunted as a teenager. It along with a 119 have gutted and skinned more deer than I can count on both hands. JA

If you look at the package, USA made knives will have a US flag in the top corner.
My first one vanished years ago. I suspect it went into a third world customs agent's pocket.
A few years back a cancer buddy who worked at Wally World waved at me to come over to sporting goods. They had a couple of the 50th anniversary ones that had been priced wrong. Think I paid $20, and was very happy with the "deal".
We still keep in touch. They nailed his cancer, not so much mine. Haven't been out the door in three days, had a bad run from a recent chemo trial.
I also have a 119 that has never been on my belt. I had some store points somewhere and grabbed it on sale.

Oddly nobody mentioned Sr. Buck's commercial about cutting a bolt with a buck knife.......Fine print said don't try this at home.....Will void your warrantee(sp?).

All I can add is when someone says lockback I picture a Buck 110
My parents took a trip to NY,NY back in the early 70's and Dad brought back a couple of Buck 110 knives with the leather carriers. One for me and one for my then B-I-L.
I was 15 years old and still have the 110. It now rides in the side console trey of my truck. A photo of the 110 with a couple of friends, a Randall Mod. 28, a Roe skinner and my EDC Benchmade is attached.

Bought mine 55 years ago. Took it to SEA. It came home all beat up with tip gone. When Buck moved to North Idaho I took it and took the factory tour , got it back and it had a new blade and looked great and no charge! Great company.
I agree on Buck's service/repair
I can only praise Buck's warranty and repair. I have sent a total of 3 knives back for repair or warranty and have been more than pleased with their response.
One small Buck 305 that I totally destroyed trying cut a sheet of peg board for an electrical outlet. It was replaced free of charge.
The other two were 110s that I broke the tip of the blade off being stupid. The first they replaced the blade and buffed it up to look like new free of charge.
The second 110 I did the same thing to the blade tip but refused to send it to them unless they would let me pay for the repair. The woman I talked to on the phone finally agreed to let me pay the return shipping but not the repair. I thought that was more than fair on their part. It also came back looking like new.
I am a Buck knife fan for life. I own a few other brands but the vast majority of my knives are Buck. JA

I got a 110 when they first came out, then took a chunk out of the blade(don't ask) John Ek's son was a friend & he reground it for me.Then got a gift from a friend gave me a BUCK 560.Everyone at the gun shows tries to buy it! Thinking of buying a BUCK 112 auto....don't really have a reason for getting one.

Looks like the Copper and Clad exclusive with G -10 scales and black oxide coated blade. Nice!

The 110 is a classic but it out weighs every other folding knife in my collection by over an ounce. I do not carry my 110 Drop Point 5160 non-stainless because it weighs in over 7 ounces, over 9 ounces with its scabbard. I do occasionally pocket carry a Model 110 LT which is a bit over 3 ounces. Far and away my favorite big Buck holder is the Model 830 Marksman; it's a bit over 4 ounces, a true one hand opener and the blade is 154 CM. It's considerably more expensive than a base 110, but start tricking out a 110 with steel upgrades you're no longer looking at $40. Buck makes some truly great knives and the 110 is the granddaddy of them all.
I note with interest that the Buck model 830 (shown above) cannot be imported into Canada. Remind me not to move to Canuckstan. My god, Western culture is dead. In its place is Soviet Marxism and ban-everything-ism.

As a result of this thread I purchased two Buck 110s as HS graduation presents for my twin grandsons.
