Anyone Carry a Buck 110?

[Dan Carey]

Every day! Never leave home without it!

I've got a 110 and three LB-7s. I use them quite a bit and are my favorite belt knifes.

 

[Ole Joe Clark]

I recently found one at a pawn shop. I have only carried it a couple of times, because of the weight. It is scratched up, but has never been sharpened. I have a few Bucks that I like and carried a 301 Stockman for years. My favorite is my wife's 501 Squire that I bought her years ago. I finally bought me one last year.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

I had a 110 that I carried during my 20s, when I had a Harley and worked in the steel mill. The tip broke off opening a can of motor oil and later the sheath"s belt loop broke off. Don't know where it is today. I still have a 112 but don't carry it. I have a spring-assist S&W knife I got at Grainger's for about $23, keeps a razor sharp edge and stays clipped to my belt. If I lose it, I'll drive down to Liberty Ave. Grainger's and buy another! That model 110 was THE biker knife back in the day, though!

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

Had one on my duty belt also. It languishes in a drawer now, but every once in a while I take it out to wipe it down and look it over.

I find it odd that people noticed the weight of a knife that weighs 7 ounces

 

[Tom Kent]

I carried one on my duty belt for over 20yrs. We were required to carry a folding lock blade knife and were provided a basket weave pouch to carry it in. I probably cut a hundred miles of fingerprint tape with it. When I retired I sent it back to Buck for a refurb. It currently resides here on my computer desk. I have another one for deer hunting.

Great knifes, but they're a little large and heavy for my daily uses. I never liked the look of a knife sheaf on my side unless I was hunting so that doesn't work for me either. I do have a couple of the smaller synthetic Buck lock blades that are more practical for me.

I recently found a NOS Schrade Old Timer 60T, which is a similar design. It's a big heavy knife and unless I'm wearing a shoulder rig for the gun and mags, it's more weight than I want on my belt.

It's also too big for work carry (military installation) so I don't get to carry it as much as I would like.

I chose it over the Buck because it has a lanyard hole.

In any event, they're great and tough knives. Watch out for the discount places - most of the mare selling chicom knockoffs.

Not mine but looks like:

I have one with the Crelican ebony panels and sporting fingers cutouts.It came form France and was brought to me last july by my youngest daughter who lives there.
It came with a black leather sheath made in México.
The other one a 110 clone is a Chinese made Kershaw Wildcat Ridge, a very well made and sturdy knife.
I only use them, on a rotating basis, when I head to the outdoors, since using them in the city would, without doubt, atract unwanted prying eyes.

It was THE knife to carry for awhile. In the 1970's my college major was Fish & Wildlife Management, and we also hung out with the Forestry major guys.
A Buck 110 on the belt was standard gotta-have stuff.

Ran across my old one the other day. Black sheath worn to almost tan, brass knife frame almost green with verdigris. Blade sharpened so many times it had started taking on the profile of a filet knife

I recall way back when that Buck had great customer service and one could ship them a very worn, or even sometimes abused product and they'd refurbish/rebuild for almost nothing. Not sure if that's still the case.

 

[Gene L]

Yeah, that's still the case. I broke the tip of my 110 blade about 30 years ago and last year sent it back to Buck. They replaced the blade and sent me back a VERY sharp knife...impressively sharp.

And I remember back in the day seeing a passenger with one strapped to his side on an airplane trip. Won't see that anymore.

 

[LostintheOzone]

I have a very old one but I don't carry it, but I used to. Does that count.

Because I don't keep receipts for knives I've purchased, unlike firearms, I have no idea how old it is. If I had to guess I would say I bought it at least 40 years ago.

Official eyes? How large a knife is legal there? Does that vary by state? I know that Brazilian knife smiths make Bowie and gaucho knives that presumably can't be worn in cities.

Never heard of Crelican ebony. Where is Crelica? Usually see Macassar ebony mentioned. But I don't know where it is from, either. I think ebony is an African wood. Don't know from which countries.

Give them a try. I had them refinish a Model 120 that I rescued at a gun show. It came back looking virtually new. I don't recall the price, but not much.

I saw a video where a guy sent back his dad's Model 120, and they refinished it and because they couldn't repair a couple of tiny dents in that tough phenolic resin handle, he also got a new 120 and a replacement sheath for the old one.

I think they sharpen a blade for $7.00. But you have to add postage.

I think Buck makes a good product at a more than fair price.

I've told the story on this site before, I won a Anniversary edition Buck 110 from the late Shouldazagged in a karma drawing about 4 years ago around Christmas time. With his generous permission, I gifted the knife to my son who had just developed a taste for hunting. My son wears it every chance he gets. He's used it to dress quite a few deer and hogs with it. I always carried a Buck 112 that I bought myself when I graduated from the Basic Medic course at Ft. Sam Houston in 1975. When my daughter married last June, I cleaned and sharpened it and presented it to my new son-in-law as a combination wedding/welcome to the family gift. Personally, in my old age, my favorite folding knives these days tend to be CRKT brand.

Regards,

Dave

I bought the 50th Anniversary one several years ago. I was going to carry it, but the sheath is too short to fit the knife. Both are still in my dresser drawer. I also have a Buck Lite I bought perhaps 40 years ago that I carry when hunting or think about it.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

On my belt in its holster as I type. I use it very rarely in my daily existence but it's there when I need it. My old Leatherman rides next to it.

Best work knife I've ever owned

Have a 110 & 1011. A little big for pocket carry.
That's why I have a 550 buck in my pocket all the time.
