Anyone Carry a Buck 110?

[JayFramer]

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. JA

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

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

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.

 

[Smoke]

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

 

[ACP230]

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.

 

[Marshwheeling]

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

 

[leonardocarrillo]

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.

 

[eveled]

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.

 

[steveno]

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

 

[Tenn2]

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]

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) .

 

[Texas Star]

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]

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]

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

 

[Narragansett]

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.

Every day! Never leave home without it!

 

[OldSarge21]

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.

 

[Smoke]

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.

 

[diyj98]

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.

 

[Mainsail]

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.
