Buck 110: The Blade that Keeps Me Coming Back For More.

Also one of my favorites:

I have a few Buck 110’s, but this was the jewel of my collection for a while. I started with a Buck 110 factory nickel silver frame with a S30v drop point blade, and some mammoth tusk end grain scales I had found, and mailed it off. A short 4 months later, I received this back. The former centerpiece of my Buck knives collection had pinned mammoth tusk end grain scales, vine filework, and superb fluted bolsters. I sold it last year to raise money to buy a first year Pre-29. Here are a few pictures:

You can still buy the 110 for less than $40. I have a few wood and brass 110’s, but since I don’t like a knife on my side, I find them too heavy for pocket carry. I have the plastic handled 110 that is much lighter in the pockets though.

WHERE?????????? Can you buy a REAL original 110 for less than $40. Smokey Mtn Knifeworks has them for $79.95. As do other vendors.

I really like my 110 even though it's really heavy. It was the sharpest out-of-the-box knife I've ever had, up until recently when I picked up a Hogue Deka with a MagnaCut steel blade. That thing redefines sharp.

Back in the 80's I bought a BuckLite. no. on blade is 426. Skinned a few wild boar with it. Daily carry is a smaller, but mini-clone of the 110, a no. 503 on the blade. Carries in the pocket, easier than my 110 with leather sheath belt carry. Three in all.

OK. $60.00 is lot more than "less than $40".

I've owned 2 ea 110's for over 30 years and have a 112 automatic on the way.

I got mine in 1972 at the Yorktown USCG TraCen exchange for the princely sum of $12.50. It was unofficially part of the uniform for a bo’sun mate in training.

Yeah, that is why I said the prices had gone way up. That is twice what I paid for mine a few years back.

Funny thing is, I bought one for clearance at Dick's sporting goods for $30 with the nylon case. Thought I had found a deal. Then a few days later found the regular price with leather case at Academy for $30. Another one of the many reasons I quit shopping at Dick's.

I’ve had several 110’s over the years.

This one is probably my favorite. It’s a semi-custom job I bought years ago. Beveled bolsters and the handle scales are (stippled isn’t quite right, but it’s as close as I can come right now) made to look as if they’re wormwood.

Shown w/ the thumb break basketweave sheath I picked up for it:

Fan of the 110/112? I'd Say I Am!... Lol

I've got an assortment of mostly 1970s-era 110s and 112s.
Most of my 112s have the original, early "no nick' blade, 5 so far. A couple 112s have shedua scales; one has factory micarta scales. My oldest 110 is from circa 1967, IIRC. (It's the slimmest of all the 110s, seen next to the non-factory automatic -that I paid $15 for in an East Austin pawn shop.)

I like the non-radiused edge of the 1970s knives.
I have sheaths stored separately, and at least one or two original boxes with paperwork.

I won't bore anyone with the different tang stamps and other details but suffice it to say I have actively sought specific stampings, in the past.

I find it more than a little ironic that a Buck 110 would be given as a "safety award," Heh heh heh (top row, far right).

On Buck's website they currently have the normal Buck 110 for $59.99 in its stock configuration, along with an assortment of polymer framed Slim Select models on sale for under $25.

This inflation poop is getting old.

The 110 is just large enough to be near useless, for me.

However, I have been carrying this 112 auto for a year now. These are pricy, but I’m very happy with this knife. Solid. Tight. Nice firm click when you deploy the blade. Very very sharp from the factory. I have put it thru some minor abuse and it has held up quite well.

The 110 is heavy. I bought a 110 auto when they first came out. It is a great knife.

I have my original two dot from the 70's that was given to me by my grandfather. I was 7 or 8 when I got my scout knife, the buck was when I was 8 and was my second knife.

I carry it from time to time but I am into lightweight fixed blades now.

Buck 110

I was awarded a 110 as the distinguished graduate from the army's SF O&I course back in the mid-80s. I still have it out in the knife locker, although I've never used it. It's a keep's sake.

 

[Onomea]

I bought this auto last year:





I wanted a horizontal leather sheath for it, and found a guy on Etsy who makes these:





It took three or four months to reach me. When I got antsy and questioned him he told me the postal delay was typical. He lives in a remote part of Russia. Maybe Siberia. Nice work.

It's actually a buck 112 Clone. The 422 is the 110 clone.
