Legality here is a complicated matter, you see reloading presses and dies, considered tools in US, are controlled items here- go figure !
As for blades at least in Rio the max lenght allowed is 10 cm. Remember this is a metric country, but even so, metric or imperial it´s almost impossible the measure the authorities and the general people stupidity, so better carry a folder clipped inside the pants, covered by a T shirt.In my case it´s a semi serrated CRKT M21 14 SFG.
Clerican , don´t know where the name came from, refers to ebony that Buck uses from a reforestation effort in Congo.In their site as well in the box contents they explain it all.

I carried one on my belt all through High School, as did most of the other guys. It was almost as if it was part of an unofficial school uniform.
I recently purchased a pair of 110's as HS graduation gifts for my twin grandsons. Unfortunately, they were not trusted to carry even a butter knife when they were in High School. Sigh.

I have an OLD BUCK 110 from the early 60's.I started working at a POWER CO. and accepted a bet that the blade was NOT indestructible I lost...tried to cut a bolt....didn't know the bolt was an airplane bolt! A friend was JOHN EKS SON & he cleaned it up.I was given a gift of a BUCK 560 & LIFTER made a custom sheath for her! No amount of $$$ could buy them! Wonder if either friend is still alive!

I have one that is my regular hunting carry. It replaced a 6" Buck Special that I carried the first dozen years till I decided I didn't need to kill grizzly bears with my hunting knife. Still have the Special, but it doesn't get used much.

Nope. I usually pocket carry a SAK, but don't hate me...I have a Bucklite 422 folder and picked up four fixed-blade Bucks for hunting over the years.

I only carry mine when I'm at the farm. Keep it in the chest pocket of my bibs.

I use to, but I now carry (EDC) an older style 3.5" pocket knife with 3 blades that I find much handier and each blade is specific to different tasks. On occasion I still will throw the Buck 110 into my gear bag when at the Hunting Cabin, but I can't say it's often. If someone wants to borrow a knife I will give them the 110 as I am not sentimentally attached to it and it is a fairly strong knife. While good for larger tasks I find the 110 a bit cumbersome for delicate work.
I've had a Buck Stockman since 1975 and a 110 since 1977. Both classic great knives. But 2 years ago I purchased a limited edition Buck 112 with camel bone scales. Fantastic knife and great size. As much as I love the 110, I find the size of the 112 to be a little easier to carry and therefore potentially used more. I think many would be better served by checking out the 112.

I've been exposed to Buck 110's my whole life. My grandfather, dad and uncle all had them. I bought my own in 1994. I was like many others in my Department to carry a 110 for duty.
Within the span of a career the 110's have been cast aside for the various thumb assisted blades (for good reason and I do get the rational). Two years ago my team had a homicide where a 110 was the weapon of choice. To my guys it was just a knife, but I was rather intrigued by it because of my lifetime exposure to them and also because it used to be my carry knife. The following day I explained the history of the 110 to my team and how it used to be THE knife their predecessors would have been carrying with them back in the day.
They are a bunch of good younger guys, and they were actually quite interested in hearing how the carry blade had changed over the years. To drive the point home to them, and to reward them on a job well done in the investigation (suspect caught within minutes and viable witnesses identified), I ordered each of them a genuine 110 to use it in any way they saw fit. They truly did appreciate the gesture and I do believe they will always remember how iconic the 110 is. I even showed them how to decipher the date code and showed them how theirs was different from mine.
For me personally my 110 is now my truck knife, my carry knives are now assisted blades just like the younger guys. After some thought and reminiscence I think I will order one up for my 24 year old son and have a discussion with him too, he kinda missed my 110 era.

I packed a Stockmam 301 for decades before losing it.
Nowadays I carry a Kershaw Leek.
I might pack a 110 tomorrow, just for grins.

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.
It's as if you just described mine.
