buck 110 knife

[Racer X]

Is there a 110 in the classic style that isn't as thick? I loved my KaBar 1189 because it was thinner, but the re-released 1189, now the 3189 isn't as nice.

Before they moved from California I lived a few blocks from their facility in El Cajon. Every so often they would have a sale for the locals and move out some of their excess inventory. The prices were really good and the product first rate. They weren't moving out junk but first line merchandise. The Company was also very involved in the community. I was very involved in Ducks Unlimited in those days and they were very supportive of our annual event. Great company and family.
Their departure was a big loss to our City, but understand why they did it.

I've a Buck 110 I bought in 1977. Think that makes it roughly 45 years old. Has a huge amount of miles on it. Does buck still sell the belt mounted sheath for it. Mine is held together with sail makers thread. Frank

On the form you fill out, there is a question about sentimental value.

Curious they would send you a new one. Did someone at the factory get attached to the old one ? What if it had sentimental value?
Had mine for I forget how long, even forget where and when I got it. But it is an old friend.

I used to own this one but, sold it to raise money for other blades.

I have always loved Buck knives I carry daily Bucks a bantam 264 and a 110 also a small case knife for cutting steaks. yes I use my knife at resturants not the dull ones they give you. I bought a Buck 2 blade small folder in 1984 in basic training to open the MREs I lost it at FT Hood over a year later.

The Buck 110 is just about my favorite folding knife ever made.

A classic design which lives on to this very day in multiple configurations.

I plan on getting the latest iteration soon, the Buck 110 Hunter Sport.



Someone will be along shortly to argue semantics about how technically they're not "Made in the USA" but merely "Assembled in the USA" because the materials they use such as their African woods and German steels are imported.
Also, some of their bargain-priced blades are made in China.

Of course, everything on their site is clearly marked as being "Made in the USA" or "Imported" so this isn't a secret, but certain folks like to imply that they're being sneaky about it.

Do you know for fact the steel is German?
The ebony is clearly stated Madagascar. I would prefer walnut and they have used different woods

Bucks

When I found out Buck made drop points I sold many of my other knives to invest. Bantams for the pocket 110s and 112s for the belt

Nice pics guys. Buck 110-112 sure are a popular model. My Buck #249 Alpha folder not as fancy but makes for a great skinner-field knife with the rubber grips. Believe it is discontinued.

I found a Buck folder in a toolbox when I was helping my sister move . It's in good shape except for a small ripple in the blade tip . That's the best way I know to describe it . I may see if Buck can do anything with it .

Not a knife guy, but got a couple Bucks and a new hobby. 110 and 503.

Unfortunately no, there's the Buck 110 Slim and Slim Pro, but they're made with GFN, G10, and Micarta handles with no bolsters.

There's also the new Buck 110 Hunter Sport, which is substantially lighter than the standard 110 due to Aluminum bolsters in place of Brass, but the thickness is exactly the same.

There were a few discontinued variants of the 110 which were thinner as well like the Bucklite 426 and Buck 560 Total Titanium, but neither were patterned after the 110's handle.

Do you know for fact the steel is German?
The ebony is clearly stated Madagascar. I would prefer walnut and they have used different woods

I'm not 100% certain, I just know that when I attempted to search online for where Buck was getting their 420HC, Germany kept coming up.

I've got a Buck 110 I bought at the PX on Fort Campbell sometime in 1971 or 72. One of the earlier ones, before they rounded the edges on the bolsters. It's field dressed a bunch of whitetails. My other hunting knife is old and discontinued Buck 321. It's a folding knife with a slim 3 inch muskrat blade and a guthook. It fits nicely in my pocket and makes quick work of dove, quail, and the occasional grouse.

Buck knives may not have the cachet of some of the fancier and trendier makers, but they do what I need and I don't have to feel guilty about what I paid for them.

I thought the same thing. Hopefully they returned original one.

 

[growr]

no sentimental value to me, I bought it in a pawn shop for $5.00.

I was stunned when Buck sent out a brand new one.

No the original was not returned....I don't care about it.

I've got a 110 that's been converted to switchblade, don't suppose they'd refurb it?

 

[unclemilty]

Got mine on my 15th birthday in 1978. It was a constant companion till 1981 when I left for Marine Corps boot camp. I wore it to school in rural Ohio every day. They made us all put our knives in our wall lockers when we had a visit from Walter Mondale. Could you imagine kids with knives in schools today! I came across it a few years back at my parents home and now it is back with me where it belongs.

 

[unclemilty]

I got a picture, but don't know how to add it to this thing.
