i have used the same 110 since 1964, much game processed. Only other knife I have depended on is my Puma White Hunter also purchased in 1964, used in Vietnam, took a life to save my life, never so scared in my life.
Thanks for watching and for your service. Puma and Buck are both names you can count on. The White Hunter with a full tang is more adapted for dangerous situations than a 110 folder.
I had never seen a Buck 110 until 1974, and I wanted one from that moment. It took me a few years to acquire one, now I have dozens in a variety of flavors. Back then we called any belt carried folder a "Buck Knife" regardless of who made it. Some of the copies/clones were pretty good. I picked up a Western 541 (1981) that I liked better than my Buck because it was more rounded (comfortable) than the early squared edge 110's. I also liked the nickle silver bolsters better because they were easier to keep shiny. I didn't rediscover the 110 until the 2000s. With its updated nicely rounded handles and great blade shape it's been my go-to knife ever since. It still gives me the fizz fifty years later. Fun video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching. For me the 110 was the subtknife. If I wanted to look tough as a teenager, I wore the 119. The 110 was more practical for most of my daily needs. It still has a place in my pack during hunting season.
I have my great-grandfather's Buck 110 from the 70s. It is on its 3rd blade. My dad and I did the math and we think it has field dressed about 150 deer in its lifetime. The current blade is dated 2006 and I will probably need another one in a few years. I plan on passing it down to one of my grandkids someday
I've got the Schrade USA 7ot in carbon steel. I really appreciate that it is neither serrated nor hollow ground, but in a conservative high saber/flat grind. I like the extra strength and toughness you get from non-hollow and carbon steel. It's quite old but had minimal blade wear and the action is clean. I got it from an eBay purchase of 3 or 4 knives. I was after the Camillus (USA) marlinspike navy knife and this Schrade was just in the group, but now they are about even in my eyes. I have learned a lot more from from unplanned "accidents" than from my intentional choices.
I have a Buck #110 I bought in 1969 from a now defunct Dept. store in Mass. called J.M. Fields. I also have the leather sheath. The blade still has the factory edge on it. I never used it. I have so many knives and just recently rediscovered it. Great find in my knife draw. The blade on the #110 locks up with 0 play. These days up in N.H. I carry my Gerber Strong Arm fixed blade. Toughest knife you can get for the money. I am getting pretty old and have nobody to leave them to. I have lots of auto knives also. Not sure what to do with all my knives.
Thanks for commenting. The 110 usually locks with no wobble, solid knife. A fixed blade is always going to be stronger, I agree. Drop me an email and I can give you a few ideas. Address is listed in page details.
In the last 2 months I have bought 3 110's, and 2 112's, but never owned a buck growing up. I will send at least 1 or 2 of the used knives back to Buck for the spa treatment you mentioned in your well done history of the 110 Buck. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment. If you watch my previous 110 video, you can see a name engraved of the bolster of one knife. Not my n ass me , so I asked Buck to buff it out. When they were done, I couldn't tell it had ever been engraved.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on knives . Being brought up in the meat industry, I always have had an interest in knives! My cherished Buck 110 was given to me by my wife and young son. It has served me well with many memorable days in the field as I was deer hunter also. GBU
Thanks I tried to respond earlier today so if this is a duplicate I apologize. The 110 is very slicey on meat and with a little finesse one can separate most joints and debone deer meat easily. It's a good length for working inside a chest cavity and the secure lock is reassuring when d going close work where mostly working by feel and not sight. Use a 110 once and the feel of a solid tool will remain in your muscle memory.
Thanks for watching. After my 100's got back from spa treatment at Buck, they are ready to go out for hunting season. I use a smaller knife for day to day opening of Amazon packages and such, but for serious slicing the 110 excels.
@@TwoRiders I agree, although I often carry a 110 in a friction fit belt sheath I made for myself. My first 110 was acquired in 1984 (I had a Kershaw copy, the Black Horse, prior) when I went into the military. Carried it on field exercises and through SERE school. Never let me down. I now have a Custom shop 110 which is very nice. Of course, it is a Buck and so it gets used regularly. The 112 is more pocket friendly, but it will never displace the 110 for me!
I had the 110 and carried it for more than 20 years , didn't notice the weight ! Now I carry the cold steel custom ( by me ) recon 1 in the back pocket and the benchmade crooked river mini in the front pocket !
Thanks. I have a Cold Steel Recon in O1 but it is a large fixed blade. Most of my folders are the size of 110 Bucks I have lost a few valued pocket knives over the years and I mostly belt carry or backpack carry because of that.
Thanks for watching. The Buck 442 is a size down from the 110. I was ordering knives for a shop about 1990-91 and our distributor had 442s from about every college football program around. I ordered in blades for the 5 or 6 biggest programs in Virginia and Maryland and have had that blade since. It gets very sharp and is a good deer knife.
The traditional Buck 110 is a bargain @ $65. Buying an inferior copy-cat knife is nutz. The Buck has the lore, the lifetime warranty & the quality materials & American craftsmanship.
Thanks for watching. My video on the 110 spa treatment shows before and after refurbished 110s. Buck brought them back to looking new. The quality of the 440 steel, the brass, and wood are all top shelves, and the builds are great.
I have a Buck 119 with a rubberized handle. Great feature, no slip handle when you have deer fat covering your knife handle. The bad part is that textured rubber handle is hard to get clean.
Thanks for commenting. Animal fat, especially the hard white deer fat, does really stick to any little crevice and you need something like Dawn, a tooth pick and a toothbrush to clean it off. I seems to be more sticky than beef fat.
The Gerber Gator Drop Point folding knife has the same good back lock, but it is full flat ground with constant distal taper, very slicey. Also it is in 154CM, a significant upgrade from the 440A/420HC range, even a little nicer than 440C. And no serrations.
Thanks. I have a blade in 154cm and one in Nitro-V from the same maker. They both seem a little better than 420 or 440 steels. Truthfully, I haven't put them through enough hours to really see how much they differ. They are both very rust resistant and strong stainless steels.
i have a regular buck 110, i paid 20 dollars for. i also have a finger groved one i paid 33 dollars. both were new when i bought them. they are the best knife for the money you can buy. they are sharp and stay sharp for quite awhile.
Thanks for commenting. I've sharpened mine over the years and finally sent them back to Buck for a spa treatment last winter. Really worth the low cost.
I absolutely love the 110! It’s my all-time favorite pocket knife. I continue to be amazed at all of the “copy Kats”. I’ve spent a long time searching for and collecting some of the copies. Some, like the Schrade LB7, are excellent in their own right. Others, like the Pakistani look-a-likes, are dismal. Don’t forget the Case “Hammerhead”. In the final analysis, though, nothing beats the original 110 IMHO…
Still have a Buck 110 , was cleaning a hog, got a top load on the top of the blade it unlocked, and I got cut pretty good. I prefer the newer blade locks over the 110 style
Thanks for watching. The 110 lock was superior to what was around in 1964. Since it is a great slicer, having it unlock and close on you is a b#%th. The frame lock and newer locks have advantages. The 110 was an industry leader.
Awesome good video thanks for sharing it. I have a few Buck 110s and two Buck 112s and two Buck 119s. I've collected them over the years. Some of them are still brand new never been used. I have a Buck 110 still in the pack I bought at Kmart back in the 80s. I also have a Uncel Henery USA made it looks just like the Buck 110. Except it came with a very nice brown case. I got my first Buck 112 back in the 70s when I was in high school. That was the first time I ever heard of Buck knives. I've been a Buck 112 fan ever since. I have lost 2 Buck 112s over the years. The 112s are hard to find for some reason. Why is that? Again thanks for sharing your video. I joined your channel.
Thanks for watching. My first Buck was a 119 that I bought at a PX for $19 back during the Vietnam War. My first 110 was probably from the late 1980s. They make it into the carry rotation, especially in the fall and winter.
I’ve had my 110 for years, don’t use it. Bought the 110 light, carry it every day. Love it, clip, light weight. Easy to sharpen can’t go wrong. I have other knives, don’t use them. My Buck works
Thanks for commenting. The Buck LT models weigh less than 1/2 of the regular 110 and ride on a thinner belt much better than the original. I'll carry my Buck 422 if I'm out for small game and have used it for deer. The 110 seems more resistant to lateral stresses but that could be my imagination
Thanks for commenting. You can see how close the Old Timer looks like the Buck, but the feel of the Buck is much better. The 110 has done the job every time I have needed it. The quality is there.
Thanks for watching. A lot of industries poach talent from each other. Very common in the knife and gun industries. Gun laws in the northeast have seen many gun manufacturers move their factories into the US south or west.
@@TwoRiders during a recent tour in Little Valley NY about the knife history… there is evidence that Ka-Bar was started by a Family member involved in Case
Don't like a hollow grind, great for a razor but not for a knife. flat grind for me, can stand sabre. I love the rather theatrical look of Buck knives.
Thanks for watching. I think the hollow grind works well for a piercing, slicing and skinning knife. A flat grind is better for prying, spltting and whitling.
Hoffritz is actually a German Store chain. Like Walmart. It's not a knife maker. Their usual high end knife maker is Solingen, though they do sell many other's too. Kind of like how Walmart store brand is Ozark Trail, but they sell many other name brands also. If you look at the Buck 110 carefully you will notice that each side is just 1 slab of brass with some kind of wood/other insert materiel. A better Gerber example from the early 80's would be a 350st lockback instead of the 90s Gator. ArmourHide is Kraton. A synthetic rubber that remains tacky when wet and doesn't freeze like the rubber they used on the Stallion in the later 80's. It's also weirdly sort of self repairing and resists cuts and rips.
Thanks for watching. The Gerbers shown are Gerbers that I own. The various copies that could have been put into the video would have turned it into an hour long presentation. I thought that I mentioned that the Hoffritz knife was labeled New York and made in Solingen. I haven't rewatched the video, but the point was to show American and German fixed blade designs pre-1963 Buck 110.
Thanks for watching. You might be right, been a while since I watched it. Definitely was a blood groove knife that shows how iconic the 'Buck knife' is. Many people call any knife if that looks like a Buck knife, regardless of who made it.
Thanks for watching. It's a Schrade Old Timer from the same company that made Uncle Henry. A lot of their production went to china, sadly. I hate it when American craftsmen and women lose jobs to low bidders from communist China.
@@bradbradshaw-i4n only knives less than 3 inches in length and non locking when open, and the catch all is... you must have a good reason to have one, especially in public.
Thanks for watching. I liked my old 119 sheath better. Let it in a guy's truck and he decided that he needed the knife more than I did. That was the end of hunting together.
The Buck 110 is put together with a pin that often becomes loose with normal use. When closing, it can close the blade right onto the frame, dulling any edge, no matter how carefully applied. These are real complaints that for more money, can be avoided with a lot of modern knives from other companies. The steel of the 110 is nothing special but tough to complain about if you don't mind sharpening it in the field. The real advantage of the Buck 110 is the warranty. Anything wrong with it that you can blame on them, they'll fix it for free. You can even break the blade and they'll replace it for ten dollars. For the money, it's hard to do better. You have to admit though that for more money? It's not hard at all.
Thanks The Buck service department here in the US makes a big difference. Buy a good quality Chinese knife made at a contracted factory. What do you d o it it breaks and the company, like Imperial, doesn't contract with the factory anymore? You throw the knife away. Even Buck can't fix their Chinese made knives. However, they will give you store credit against a new Buck knife.
@@TwoRiders Try Benchmade or Cold Steel. Their service departments are comparable to Buck's. Sure they're more expensive but their steel is also generally better and they won't dull just from you closing them too hard like the 110 or 112 will. By the way, Buck has made plenty of knives in China.
Thanks for watching. I'm not familiar with that knife. I do have several Schrade pocket knives and 2 Taiwan made fixed blades that are tough camp knives. It does depend on when they were made, what steel was in the blade, and where they were made.

The Buck 110 is put together with a pin that often becomes loose with normal use. When closing, it can close the blade right onto the frame, dulling any edge, no matter how carefully applied. These are real complaints that for more money, can be avoided with a lot of modern knives from other companies. The steel of the 110 is nothing special but tough to complain about if you don't mind sharpening it in the field. The real advantage of the Buck 110 is the warranty. Anything wrong with it that you can blame on them, they'll fix it for free. You can even break the blade and they'll replace it for ten dollars. For the money, it's hard to do better. You have to admit though that for more money? It's not hard at all.
Thanks
The Buck service department here in the US makes a big difference. Buy a good quality Chinese knife made at a contracted factory. What do you d o it it breaks and the company, like Imperial, doesn't contract with the factory anymore? You throw the knife away. Even Buck can't fix their Chinese made knives. However, they will give you store credit against a new Buck knife.
@@TwoRiders Try Benchmade or Cold Steel. Their service departments are comparable to Buck's. Sure they're more expensive but their steel is also generally better and they won't dull just from you closing them too hard like the 110 or 112 will. By the way, Buck has made plenty of knives in China.
Esee has a pretty good warranty as well, and made in the USA.
sharade lb7 is a better knife the old ones anyway the steal was better
Thanks for watching. I'm not familiar with that knife. I do have several Schrade pocket knives and 2 Taiwan made fixed blades that are tough camp knives. It does depend on when they were made, what steel was in the blade, and where they were made.
