Anyone Carry a Buck 110?

JayFramer · Feb 15, 2020

Seems just about every farmer, hunter, mechanic, blue color worker, etc. had one when I was growing up. It was sort of “THE” folding American knife. Nowadays you don’t see as many as you used to, more modern and lighter knives around so it’s understandable. Yet, I own one of these impressive and pretty, and durable, folders and enjoy carrying it around at times just for nostalgia, and also because it’s just a good dependable knife.

Anyone else carry a Buck 110 still?

Yes everyday

I leave it at home on Sundays for church. Otherwise if I am upright there is a buck 110 on my belt.

Everyday for almost 40 years now. Long enough to wear 2 out and have Buck replace the blades. I’ve worn out at least 20 sheaths.

I carry a Buck Stockman 301 but I do have a 110 from the early 70s.
It was THE KNIFE for aspiring Bos’n Mates in the Coast Guard at that time.
Cost $12.50 at the exchange in Yorktown Virginia, I think my monthly pay was around $270.

I don't, but my dad carried one regularly.

I've often thought about getting one. Don't know if I would carry it regularly, though. I like my Delica.

I haven’t carried mine since the early 1970’s.

I discovered the much superior Gerber which has a more useful steel and is less than half as wide

I have owned 2 Buck 110's forever. I don't carry them because they are too heavy. For daily use I like a multi-blade pocket knife.

I like my Buck 110 but I quit carrying it because I couldn't open it one handed. Then I found this on Fleabay.

It's called a Kwick Stud I think it cost $8 including shipping. It's a solid piece of brass with the set screw in it I put it on a month ago and it hasn't backed off or moved or slipped since.

ETA I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm misrepresenting my knife. I just noticed that's actually a picture of the Schrade LB7 made under contract for Craftsman tools that is sitting on my duty belt. My Buck 110 (which also has a Kwick Stud) is what I carry when I'm not at work

Wore out some pockets carrying one years ago.
Now carry a flatter K-Bar, except in deer season. Then the Buck
goes along to the woods. And is used on deer, if I get one.

I have one, but never carry it. I carry three knives in my RFP which together weigh less than the 110.

I have a couple of them when I go hunting I like to carry one of them, they can be heavy but they are very reliable and very sharp and they are also nice, if you have it use it.

I think I’m the only one who appreciates the heft of a 110. It is a formidable striking weapon and a good light hammer in a pinch. I’ve adjusted gun sights and moved stubborn barrel bolts with gentle tapping. A few marks but no real damage.

has anybody ever ordered a custom version of the 110 from the Buck website? I have started to do that a couple of times and I thought the cost was getting pretty steep fast? I wished they had other knives for a custom knife as I would like to get a large stockman that was a little nicer than the usual stockman.

I keep a 112 in the range bag

I bought one just before leaving for VN in 72. A buddy modified it slightly by sanding in some small finger grooves so I could have a better grip. Still have it and carry it on occasion.

Cleandean · Feb 16, 2020

I have one as a car knife. Recent made 110 with a nylon fabric sheath.
Tough made knife, with durable blade. I have a Chinese clone of a mini 110. Carry is easy , cuz it's half the weight. (Found it ...too)
I like Retro stuff, but a carry a SOG Trident with spring assist (90% of the time) .

Never owned one. But I have a very similar Puma Whitetail.

It's a fine knife, but heavier than my Benchmade 710 and other knives, so gets carried just occasionally.

I think all of my Bucks are sheath knives, Models 105, 119, 120.

Texas Star · Feb 16, 2020

I know of one used to kill a Kodiak bear and another that killed a cougar, although the latter was really Schrade's version, an LB-7.

Old_Cop · Feb 16, 2020

I wore one on my duty belt for about 8 years. I still have it.

I used to have one, but gave it away to my brother in law years ago. I had a second one that I won as a first place trapshooting prize. I put it away in my safe for #2 son until he was old enough to have it. Won a nice sheath knife too. That also went to my son. I must say that while I always liked the construction, I was never impressed with Buck’s ability to take and hold an edge regardless of their claims. Just me I guess

I ordered a custom 110 that should be close to shipping. Chose hard chrome with cherry wood and SV30 blade steel. Will post a pic when I get it. My dad carried one most of his life and I have carried his for a long time.
