When I as a Merchant Marine officer, I carried my Buck 110 with me daily. It would dull cutting through a 6" diameter hawser though. Nice video. P.S. I bought it in 1976. I still have it today.
The Buck 110 was my EDC before existed. Bought mine from a gunshop in North Queensland in 1987 when I started my apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic. It lived on my belt in a handmade crossdraw sheath from Sunshine Leather in Cairns. Carried it for nearly 3 decades until “safety” regulations in mining forbade non-approved knives.
@@herbtender910 do you mean the Puma Whitetail, or the Puma White Hunter? they're two different knives. the White Hunter is kind of the classic that I would assume you were talking about, but you also claim he killed hundred of people armed with AKs and SKSs, using a knife, so I'm more inclined to believe that you're just full of crap.
@@herbtender910 yeah, it's a pretty iconic knife. $36 was a lot of money back then for a knife. you could buy a used or mil-surp rifle for that, so it was kind of a status symbol. my dad has one, but I think he mostly used a Morseth back then.
I bought my first Buck knife in 1971 and wore it all through high school. No one ever questioned that. That was carried on the belt. We never called it edc we just had it as part of being the hunting guy crowed. Stopped carrying it in the 90s in favor of the lighter pocket carry ones. Now I’m back to the Buck 110 auto, belt carry and love the thing. They are legal to carry in my state. Their warranty is awesome as well as their CS.
As a guy whose first knife was a buck 110 there is nostalgia is huge selling point of this blade. I would love to have one specifically because this update is just beautiful it's simple it's something to give to your son and personally I love the version with hardwood handles. I know yall are reviewing the 112 but damn that brings back some of the most fun I've had in the woods a single shot 20 guage a buck 110 and ruger 22 pistol was my go to for hogs Squirrels rabbits and deer. Just remember to bring the slugs. Damn good memories.
Ditto. When I was 10, I think my dad gave me a big Wenger SAK, but a summer camp counselor stole it so I never got to use it-so it doesn’t count. My first pocket knife was the 110. Solid knife.
Good review. My buddy is dying of ALS, on his last months, completely immobile. He JUST got all of us friends one of these with the wood handle as a goodbye gift, and had the blade inscribed with: Keep Hammerin'. It's the finest knife I've ever had. It'll be an heirloom that I'll pass down. Doubt I'll ever use it, just treasure it. But as a knife that wasn't so sentimentally attached, it is the nicest, highest quality knife I've ever personally owned. Not the kind of knife I carry normally, but it's a damn fine knife. I mean, what else do you except from Buck? They make super high quality simple utilitarian knives that will last generations, and they execute that goal perfectly. Going to treasure this knife for both the sentimental value and the quality top-tier craftsmanship. And then my son will as well.
I bought the elite version, S30V + G10 grips and carried it on the horizontal fabric sheath until the 112 Auto Elite came out and that on the horizontal fabric sheath is now my edc
I have a 110 in my hunting fanny pack, great "small" knife for field dressing deer. You are spot on with the sheath/belt/vest comment, ranchers and construction workers don't typically keep things "in pockets" but on your belt or a second tool belt. The standard stanley utility knives with a rat tail on the end are honestly some of the most useful knives for "actual work."
The 110 was the very first thing I purchased from the ship’s store when I reported for duty in the USS Bordalon DD515 in March of 1965. Carried it for the whole 20 years in was in the Navy. Gave that one to oldest son when I retired. I now have 2 a standard 110 and an auto. Don’t leave home without it.
The Buck 110 and 119 are staples of knife tradition and heritage. SO much of what we have now grew from what they started. The designs were modified by many and through evolution and 1st kind of cool utility, grew into the many options we have now. While I feel BUCK came out of the hunting traditions, I feel like the Case heritage came out of the agriculture community, carried in pockets all over the country throughout the history of our country. These designs are timeless, like granite in a kitchen, they endure the test of time. True to say, our great grandchildren will be familiar with these brands as they evolve through time. 1st cool that becomes 2nd cool over time, an interesting and thought provoking topic for the future. Thanks for the content, we're still here.
I have daily carried my 110’s for most of my life - was gifted one by my grandfather when I was 12 - have carried one ever since - I true quality knife
Been using a buck 110 for a couple years now. I treat my tools pretty rough and it's been holding up well. I also have no problem opening and closing w/ one hand... so this would be quite the upgrade.. and yeah I miss having a clip sometimes but my knives has never popped out of my pocket as it did from time to time with clip knives
I have a stainless Wenger that I got at Costco's about 12 years ago. It came with a 3 year warranty. In the last year of the warranty, I waited until the last month and sent it in after a battery replacement didn't solve the problem. Wenger sent it back in a couple of weeks all good. They replaced the guts. Ever since then, whenever it'd stop working, I'd just replace the battery and tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock again. I paid about 80-something bucks for it. I love that thing. I've only put in 2 batteries since the warranty service so I guess I'm probably getting a little over 4 years of battery life on mine. And I JUST got my first Buck 110. WOW. Amazing what $45 can still buy you in a knife. USA made, decent enough stainless steel, lifetime warranty which I'll probably never use because it's a pocket knife and the worst thing I'm going to do with it is field dress a deer (otherwise, it'll just do real-world camping stuff like cutting cordage or opening plastic packs of food in the field or from time to time, scraping some sap off a tree for a firestarter). That 110 Auto is made to look "used" from the get-go from the blade to the matte finish handles to the brushed-like brass. My budget 110 standard looks like it's a hundred dollar knife out the box.
I have a conversion that I got in a trade for a gun to sweeten the deal on my end. It is faster to open than that one and a bit smoother. It has perfect centering and almost zero wiggle. I am happy to see that these are being made. This is a good video and I appreciate it. Thanks Nutn family... 😎👍Love the Father and Son interaction.
I bought one of these from Blade HQ. The blade would not deploy more then 50%. Blade HQ returned it to me claiming I had carried the knife. Sent it to Buck and they promptly got back to me and sent me a new knife. Love it. Great quality build.
This form factor is cool because it reminds a lot of us about our first knives, but I still am not exactly nostalgic for it because it was associated with cheap (for me). Looks pretty sweet though.
shadowninja81500 Hm, don’t remember mine being that expensive. Maybe it was reactive devaluation since it was a hand-me-down. The first knife I saved my own money for was actually a box of WWII bayonets... guess I got hooked on hand-me-downs lol.
Extremely well-made and in the USA. Is true they made a few of there cheaper knives in China for a while but most production is back in the US now. Headquarters and Manufacturing have been in Post Falls Idaho since 2004.
I love my buck 110 and 110 auto knives. Been carrying a standard 110 for 2 decades now. I prefer the sheath over a pocket clip but, then again I carrry a revolver. I am a hunter too and I like your stuff nutn. Super cool reviews.
The Buck 110 is a great knife, I have had one for 30 years and love it. I now carry the new 110 slim, simple/reliable. I collect knives just like you but for EDC, the 110 slim is great(Easy to clean and sharpen.........no bells and whistles)
I edc a Rat 1, but every hunting trip I carry a standard Buck 110 on my belt. The 110 is the only knife I will rely on using to gut/skin large game for the rest of my life!
The traditional Buck 110 with leather belt pouch just oozes 2nd kind of cool for me. I don’t care much for the new thinner/lighter/auto/pocket-clipped versions. I’ve also found that a belt knife & pocket holster suits my work clothes better than a pocket knife & belt holster...
I have two of the Buck 110's rosewood? handle types, bought a second one after I broke the point of the blade on a repair. I've always liked Buck....used the 5" Buck hunter to save my Akita from two large Malemutes: one on his neck and the other trying to hamstring him. Used the 110 to put down small game the Akita chewed up but didn't kill and eat when we were out in the BLM. I have two K-bars that I have ultimate faith in for using as a digging implement or stopping an attack. Used a K-bar in Vietnam as a Navy River Assault gunner and have kept one ever since. K-bars work for cutting fish nets wound around riverboat props (Early 1969, Operation Giant Slingshot...operated 10 to 20 miles from Cambodia in the Plain of Reeds and elsewhere in the Mekong. And I am not a proponent of high capacity magazines....never needed that in a .45 cal. All my pistol business usually just required steadfastness or muzzle under the chin in the dark. Always worked. Hollywood has created a generation of viewers that see endless multiple shots. The one time I blew up a building and also strafed out about a hundred yards of length of village, probably killing and wounding an unknown number of civilians: men, women, children and their animals, I only fired off about 150 rounds of 20 mm mg, belted 1 APT, 2 Incendiary, 2 HE in about 30 seconds. Our unit was responding to a number of rockets fired at near point blank range from the village. Our boats were only about one hundred yards or less from the strip village along a very narrow canal. We were expecting a second ambush later that evening at Rocket Alley or the Four Corners. Glad we didn't, I found an HE stuck in the breech waiting for the next round to slam into it.....LOL. I always kept flak pants covering the breech in case the gun blew up, which some did over there. I had a Browning 30 cal mg the Engine man and I mounted as a back up weapon over the 20 mm. Otherwise, my original back up weapon which I had to use a number of times when the 20 went kaput in a fight, was the reliable M79 grenade launcher. Well, this rambling wasn't about knives much...but I am old and wander a bit. Thanks for the patience guys. And I have always enjoyed your channel, keeping it real. Final word, I also used a 5 shot Ithaca pump shotgun for sniper security work during that period, when we had the 9th Infantry boys sweeping and destroying or sweeping the NVA towards the river.
I kept a knife in my jeans (pocket) held by a clip as an EDC for a few years and I loved it. Went to my uncle's ranch one day and got to help out herding cattle and riding horses! It was so cool except at some point during the day the damn knife came loose and I lost it, never saw it again and it's probably still out there in the field getting stepped on by cows! The thing that kills me about it is that my uncle, who's this old timey rancher type said that would happen and I should use a belt sheath the same way he does it.
I edc a buck 110 from the custom shop with elk handles, brass bolsters engraved with my initials and birthday. A lot of people don’t like the 110 because of the weight and having to carry it on the belt. I’ve honestly gotten used to it granted I’ve been carrying it for 3 years. I used to carry only benchmades and it took a bit getting used to the 110. That being said I have absolutely no intention going back to carrying a benchmade. My grandfather has been carrying a 110 for years. His first buck was a 112 which was my first knife. I own a few bucks a 112, 3 110s, 119 and a 124.
Agreed. Long gone are the call to action vids and the life philosophy videos.. i.e. concealed carry protocol, tactically squared away, for the greater good pt 1/2/3, etc. I dropped nutn on patreon due to the ton of watch reviews and no real quality videos. (With a few exceptions) Take this video for instance, why not review the plain 110? Or the buck 109? This knife is a niche market, the original 110/ 109 etc fit a wide variety of roles. I'm not raggin on nutnfancy, still have a lot of respect for him , but I'd like him to return back to his roots so to speak
I to respect TNP and the Col. I'm am just expressing a sentiment and requesting the Col, periodically include those segments in the videos. As for the video in question, that you've stated. Please, post the link for that video here. I will go gladly check it out. Cheers, Mate. @@BilgePump
I love my 110 auto. I grabbed mine for $120. It's a looker and you can't beat Bucks lifetime warranty. My first and now may not be my last buck knife. I agree on the sheath. I cut off the flap because it rode too high and looked like the dad pants of sheaths. There are really cool Buck110 custom sheaths on Etsy for anyone interested.
I love these old knives. I also grew up with them. I own several of the 110 LTs from Wally World.....$20 a piece for a decent little blade.....have them stored here and there in all kinds of bags and kits. Not big on autos as far as older designs but not against them either. These are pretty cool though. They'd make really cool gifts for older family members who aren't into micro-techs but who'd love something like this for EDC and possible SD.
I have several autos and none are close to the durability and build quality of the buck and the buck is only 50% the price. Great deal! I have carried my 110 since 1974 and still carry it daily.
Carried a Buck 110 for 15 years. Great knife. Lost it about 10 years ago and bought a Kershaw speed safe to replace it. No I don't hunt anything. And it was Han Solo that was frozen in Carbonite
I just don't get these sometimes, 'pocket' knives with no clips only work in tiny womens' pants. Guy pockets are basically duffle bags sewn into the waist, loose knives are basically dropping into a black hole with no clip. -Doodle
My first 110 I was working for Thrift Town and threw a junk chair off the truck, this was 1977 I was 17 and out popped a broken off tip 110 from I'm thinking 71 so over the years I reshaped the edge and sharpened it and still have it in my collection. I now have several 110's and one is dated 72 plus I bought two 112 autos brand new from a garage sale. Should I sell one and keep the other ? No I think I'll keep them both they are EF' N AWESOME 😊😊😊🤠
I have a case trapper model that my grandpa gave me. Its skinned more game than most hunters buck knives or fancy benchmade that people just show off with.
I ordered one of these and I have a left hand traditional buck 110 auto. Just to hold on to for a few years. Though I would carry something like this. I see these going up in value as the years go by
I'm one of those traditionalist types that has an elk stag handle s30v 110 in a leather sheath on my belt. I also keep either an Infidel daggerblade or a CRKT Provoke on me for tactical purposes.
Stopped by to visit an old girlfriend years ago and she pulled out half a dozen 110s that had fallen out of my pants pockets back when we were dating. I loved the 110 before I started carrying more modern designs. A pocket clip would have saved me from having to buy so many of them years ago, but not having a pocket clip created a collector and it didn't cost her a dime.
Get a brown new-distressed sheath from EBay. Goes good with mine. Well made. Grew up with it, was happy they made the auto. A sheath totally normal to carry. No to clip.
Some things should not be messed with. The 110 was a game changer in 1963, it was the iconic blade for decades, it had build quality and mass following. This auto version is an odd attempt to take a iconic classic and make it theoretically be competitive with modern autos while maintaining its traditional design materials and weight. No one today wants an auto that rides in a belt carried sheath that weighs nearby a half pound. There are countless options that beat this is every way. I would rather spend my money on an original Buck 110 with original materials and original design. It had been iconic for 60 years nearly, some things we shouldn’t mess with. This is one. I grew up using a 110 and I have a few original 110’s in my collection. Iconic pieces that I hold dearly to my heart. This one however should have never been produced in my opinion. The auto functions gains in opening are negated by its carry method. It’s never been a tactical blade, don’t try to confuse what this classic is!
nutnfancy, Buck has come out with this knife themselves. They are using 420 HC steel and the handle iHANDLE:Crelicam® Ebony. On Buck’s site they ask $200US. If you ever meet me, I can pretty much guarantee you that on my belt you’ll see either a Buck 110 or Buck 112. I’ve carried knives with the belt clip for work. But my personal choice is the 110 or 112. I’ve owned 1 of my 112’s since the 80’s. I’ve given a lot of both models as gifts.
I like that Buck added this to their lineup. Much of their pocketknife line seemed heavily centered around the super cheap market for the longest time, so this is nice to see. However, given the blade steel, I would like to see this knife as it is at the $100 street price market. Maybe, with more options like you mentioned, we could starting working our way to $200, but this knife as it exists seems to be a way to recoup the automatic mechanism R&D investment. Peened pins in a knife of this price is also a mistake if you ask me. It leaves the end user with no option of in-field maintenance or repair. I am glad to see Buck enhancing their line, but I want to see this happen across the board, and I want more competitive offerings if they are intent on asking Benchmade-esque prices for their blades. Buck makes fantastic fixed blades at reasonable or understandable prices, but their folders are either much too cheap in quality for me or are ridiculously overpriced like this with very few options.
Nutn is correct about ranchers/construction workers favoring a belt sheath. Its far easier to take it in and out of a sheath than trying to clip a knife on a pocket especially if the clip is stout. Plus when working you'll always have crap in your pockets (sockets, nails, backy) so the clip knife gets in the way. Working around the hospital I work at now I don't want belt sheaths but back when I worked construction I didn't care about walking around with multiple sheaths of various tools.
On my ship, all the boatswains mates had the 110's. The first edc knife I was introduced to. I still have mine! Polish the brass on mine with Nevr-Dull. To help flip theirs out one-handed, they would loosen the pivot. I consider it a relic though now. It's just like carrying a battleship, even in a belt case.
What I feel like this would work for me is when I want to dress up and be more traditional sort of like going to church or an event I carried a buck 110 for years as a kid it would be nice to have that burst of nostalgia and still have a lifelike I'm used to carrying today
You guys gushing about these crap watches is akin to "Man, these Frost Cutlery knives are AWESOME. Saw a guy on TV and bought 30 for $20. EXCELLENT value!"
Dam totally in my wheel house.... I'm in love with the 112 and I'm so ready to purchase the 110 and will follow with the elite autos also, totally into it love it huge fan. Good video guys
My dad would love this. He’s carried a buck knife on his belt as long as I can remember (and probably before that). I’ve bought him “better” more modern knives trying to convert him and he wants nothing to do with it.
This was a short video with a lot of condensed material, but I think one POU should have been focused on more. Not as an EDC blade but as a hunting/wilderness personal defense blade. Many hunters from coast to coast have grown up with Buck 110 knives, and love the childhood nostalgia, but this auto function makes it a valid defense knife. Defense from predators I mean. I wouldn't want to have a bear or cougar charging me, pistol jam or fail, and have to rely on pulling my folding Buck 110, from it's snap top sheath on my belt, in time to save my life. I don't think the 110 can be considered an EDC blade for more than 2.5% of the population. I feel this knife is an improvement on the 110, in the sense that it can be considered more of a wilderness defense knife now, instead of just a cleaning and capeing knife. This video just seemed like it was trying to shove the 110 into the EDC blade category, just because they added an auto deploy feature. Still a big fan of the NtF channel though!
Yes it was,and is a belt carry style knife. I carryed one for years till I un- locked w the palm of my hand (that was some super glue and bandaids). Thumb lock or fixed for now on. It is still a great traditional knife though.
Have you tried a barkriver fixed blade? I tried one last year and haven’t stopped carrying it since. It cuts batter than anything else I own. Funny thing is my Folders are collecting dust and I’m not looking to buy any new knives
What? Modern knife guys hate traditional / hunting knives? No way, I like all knives! Just because I do not need a hunting knife does not mean I'm not interested in them!
Some of us don't like clips because we're in and out of cars all day. Pocket clips and holster clips are quickly bent on seatbelts and then the knife or holster spends more time waiting on parts than in my pocket.
Man, this came from Patreon quick, I didn't even get a chance to watch it. I too grew up with this nice, I think it is very cool, but a little on the expensive side. Like you two together.
The reason why automatics are in demand because certain States like Missouri since 2012 have made them legal until 2012 push button knife were completely illegal in the state of Missouri and of courseover the years people have tried all those cheap Italian push button stiletto want to be switchblades and really there all junk but the automatic c-110 is actually a really good knife especially for the price even though the blade is a little brittle they hold an edge very very very well
Lol I love the Nutn/TD humor. Glad to see he was able to get some screen time! KRV LIVES ON!
When I as a Merchant Marine officer, I carried my Buck 110 with me daily. It would dull cutting through a 6" diameter hawser though. Nice video. P.S. I bought it in 1976. I still have it today.
That is my EDC but with standard scales. It carries in a pouch on my belt. Maybe a little heavy but it’s like an old friend

I have had a sharp buck 110 on my belt since the early 70s.

Buck has now come out with lightweight versions with pocket clips.

When Buck was in San Diego I used to have family working there and I miss getting a knife for Christmas.
What! Well, where are they now? I was stationed at San Diego for a while and I was thinking they were in Chula Vista??? Please tell me NOT Mexico!
They were in El Cajon. Now there in Idaho , because CA is so repressive and not friendly to business.
Very cool seeing a Nutnfancy & Tactical Doodle collaboration table top video.

Is true they made a few of there cheaper knives in China for a while but most production is back in the US now. Headquarters and Manufacturing have been in Post Falls Idaho since 2004.
I love my buck 110 and 110 auto knives. Been carrying a standard 110 for 2 decades now. I prefer the sheath over a pocket clip but, then again I carrry a revolver. I am a hunter too and I like your stuff nutn. Super cool reviews.
The Buck 110 is a great knife, I have had one for 30 years and love it. I now carry the new 110 slim, simple/reliable. I collect knives just like you but for EDC, the 110 slim is great(Easy to clean and sharpen.........no bells and whistles)
I edc a Rat 1, but every hunting trip I carry a standard Buck 110 on my belt. The 110 is the only knife I will rely on using to gut/skin large game for the rest of my life!
Micarta is great, glad buck decided to make such a classic knife in an automatic version
The traditional Buck 110 with leather belt pouch just oozes 2nd kind of cool for me. I don’t care much for the new thinner/lighter/auto/pocket-clipped versions. I’ve also found that a belt knife & pocket holster suits my work clothes better than a pocket knife & belt holster...
I have two of the Buck 110's rosewood? handle types, bought a second one after I broke the point of the blade on a repair. I've always liked Buck....used the 5" Buck hunter to save my Akita from two large Malemutes: one on his neck and the other trying to hamstring him. Used the 110 to put down small game the Akita chewed up but didn't kill and eat when we were out in the BLM. I have two K-bars that I have ultimate faith in for using as a digging implement or stopping an attack. Used a K-bar in Vietnam as a Navy River Assault gunner and have kept one ever since. K-bars work for cutting fish nets wound around riverboat props (Early 1969, Operation Giant Slingshot...operated 10 to 20 miles from Cambodia in the Plain of Reeds and elsewhere in the Mekong. And I am not a proponent of high capacity magazines....never needed that in a .45 cal. All my pistol business usually just required steadfastness or muzzle under the chin in the dark. Always worked. Hollywood has created a generation of viewers that see endless multiple shots. The one time I blew up a building and also strafed out about a hundred yards of length of village, probably killing and wounding an unknown number of civilians: men, women, children and their animals, I only fired off about 150 rounds of 20 mm mg, belted 1 APT, 2 Incendiary, 2 HE in about 30 seconds. Our unit was responding to a number of rockets fired at near point blank range from the village. Our boats were only about one hundred yards or less from the strip village along a very narrow canal. We were expecting a second ambush later that evening at Rocket Alley or the Four Corners. Glad we didn't, I found an HE stuck in the breech waiting for the next round to slam into it.....LOL. I always kept flak pants covering the breech in case the gun blew up, which some did over there. I had a Browning 30 cal mg the Engine man and I mounted as a back up weapon over the 20 mm. Otherwise, my original back up weapon which I had to use a number of times when the 20 went kaput in a fight, was the reliable M79 grenade launcher. Well, this rambling wasn't about knives much...but I am old and wander a bit. Thanks for the patience guys. And I have always enjoyed your channel, keeping it real. Final word, I also used a 5 shot Ithaca pump shotgun for sniper security work during that period, when we had the 9th Infantry boys sweeping and destroying or sweeping the NVA towards the river.
I kept a knife in my jeans (pocket) held by a clip as an EDC for a few years and I loved it.
Went to my uncle's ranch one day and got to help out herding cattle and riding horses!
It was so cool except at some point during the day the damn knife came loose and I lost it, never saw it again and it's probably still out there in the field getting stepped on by cows!
The thing that kills me about it is that my uncle, who's this old timey rancher type said that would happen and I should use a belt sheath the same way he does it.
Grew up with a 110. Had it with everywhere I went, scout camps, exploring the back waters of the river, etc.
Dean did you use it when you would hold up old ladies for their money?
@@johnnydanger1305 lol
Vintage Ithaca 37 review please! (Any model)
I edc a buck 110 from the custom shop with elk handles, brass bolsters engraved with my initials and birthday. A lot of people don’t like the 110 because of the weight and having to carry it on the belt. I’ve honestly gotten used to it granted I’ve been carrying it for 3 years. I used to carry only benchmades and it took a bit getting used to the 110. That being said I have absolutely no intention going back to carrying a benchmade. My grandfather has been carrying a 110 for years. His first buck was a 112 which was my first knife. I own a few bucks a 112, 3 110s, 119 and a 124.
Love my 110, it's always on my belt.. love the old schoolness
Long gone are your videos. Where you answer the personal letters sent to you by your fans. A segment that is sorely missed.
Agreed. Long gone are the call to action vids and the life philosophy videos.. i.e. concealed carry protocol, tactically squared away, for the greater good pt 1/2/3, etc. I dropped nutn on patreon due to the ton of watch reviews and no real quality videos. (With a few exceptions) Take this video for instance, why not review the plain 110? Or the buck 109? This knife is a niche market, the original 110/ 109 etc fit a wide variety of roles. I'm not raggin on nutnfancy, still have a lot of respect for him , but I'd like him to return back to his roots so to speak
Long gone? He just Did one not to long ago
I to respect TNP and the Col. I'm am just expressing a sentiment and requesting the Col, periodically include those segments in the videos.
As for the video in question, that you've stated. Please, post the link for that video here. I will go gladly check it out. Cheers, Mate. @@BilgePump
I can see how it would be hard to do considering he has over 3/4 of a million subscribers.
I love my 110 auto. I grabbed mine for $120. It's a looker and you can't beat Bucks lifetime warranty. My first and now may not be my last buck knife. I agree on the sheath. I cut off the flap because it rode too high and looked like the dad pants of sheaths. There are really cool Buck110 custom sheaths on Etsy for anyone interested.
I love these old knives. I also grew up with them. I own several of the 110 LTs from Wally World.....$20 a piece for a decent little blade.....have them stored here and there in all kinds of bags and kits. Not big on autos as far as older designs but not against them either. These are pretty cool though. They'd make really cool gifts for older family members who aren't into micro-techs but who'd love something like this for EDC and possible SD.
I have several autos and none are close to the durability and build quality of the buck and the buck is only 50% the price. Great deal! I have carried my 110 since 1974 and still carry it daily.
Carried a Buck 110 for 15 years. Great knife. Lost it about 10 years ago and bought a Kershaw speed safe to replace it. No I don't hunt anything. And it was Han Solo that was frozen in Carbonite
Classic looks on that knife. I like the auto deployment and clip point blade, but I’d want a clip. Thanks for the review.
I just don't get these sometimes, 'pocket' knives with no clips only work in tiny womens' pants. Guy pockets are basically duffle bags sewn into the waist, loose knives are basically dropping into a black hole with no clip. -Doodle
@@nutnfancy Kind of like the bottom of a women's purse. :)
Hey Todd, you betcha!
The 110 Autos are definitely here to stay and not a
batch
My first 110 I was working for Thrift Town and threw a junk chair off the truck, this was 1977 I was 17 and out popped a broken off tip 110 from I'm thinking 71 so over the years I reshaped the edge and sharpened it and still have it in my collection. I now have several 110's and one is dated 72 plus I bought two 112 autos brand new from a garage sale. Should I sell one and keep the other ? No I think I'll keep them both they are EF' N AWESOME 😊😊😊🤠
I picked up a s30v buck 110 for my father. He had lost his original that he had for 20years.
TKO593 nobody asked but thanks for the input, numbnuts
Johnny Danger Who hurt you? Did someone shit in your cereal? What I typed was relevant to the video, so I don’t know why my comment made you upset.
TKO593 it actually didn’t. I was joking. I was doing it to others and they got the sense of humor because they joked back on me. My apologies
Johnny Danger It’s all good bud. Next time work on the punch line. Just so you know I have full nervous function in deez nuts.
Love the patches. Checking my mailbox everyday for mine!
I have a case trapper model that my grandpa gave me. Its skinned more game than most hunters buck knives or fancy benchmade that people just show off with.
I ordered one of these and I have a left hand traditional buck 110 auto. Just to hold on to for a few years. Though I would carry something like this. I see these going up in value as the years go by
I love the humor, I feel like I'm with my good friends, thanks guys! Keep up the fantastic work.
I'm one of those traditionalist types that has an elk stag handle s30v 110 in a leather sheath on my belt. I also keep either an Infidel daggerblade or a CRKT Provoke on me for tactical purposes.
Stopped by to visit an old girlfriend years ago and she pulled out half a dozen 110s that had fallen out of my pants pockets back when we were dating. I loved the 110 before I started carrying more modern designs. A pocket clip would have saved me from having to buy so many of them years ago, but not having a pocket clip created a collector and it didn't cost her a dime.
LordRuckus did she also pull out all the syringes you would leave behind when you would shoot up dope into your arm?
I find that anytime you lube the pivot point it always results with improvements in almost any situation where friction is involved.
I have this BHQ OD 110a, mine has great action. For sure an Uncle Randy HOF knife.
Get a brown new-distressed sheath from EBay. Goes good with mine. Well made. Grew up with it, was happy they made the auto. A sheath totally normal to carry. No to clip.
Some things should not be messed with. The 110 was a game changer in 1963, it was the iconic blade for decades, it had build quality and mass following. This auto version is an odd attempt to take a iconic classic and make it theoretically be competitive with modern autos while maintaining its traditional design materials and weight. No one today wants an auto that rides in a belt carried sheath that weighs nearby a half pound. There are countless options that beat this is every way. I would rather spend my money on an original Buck 110 with original materials and original design. It had been iconic for 60 years nearly, some things we shouldn’t mess with. This is one.
I grew up using a 110 and I have a few original 110’s in my collection. Iconic pieces that I hold dearly to my heart.
This one however should have never been produced in my opinion. The auto functions gains in opening are negated by its carry method. It’s never been a tactical blade, don’t try to confuse what this classic is!
Thanks for showing this off! I have the regular 110's and like them. This is a little pricey for me though.
I love Dwight!
Great review, I grew up carrying Buck knives, the Buck 110 auto would be a great addition to my collection. Thank for the review.
nutnfancy, Buck has come out with this knife themselves. They are using 420 HC steel and the handle iHANDLE:Crelicam® Ebony. On Buck’s site they ask $200US.
If you ever meet me, I can pretty much guarantee you that on my belt you’ll see either a Buck 110 or Buck 112. I’ve carried knives with the belt clip for work. But my personal choice is the 110 or 112. I’ve owned 1 of my 112’s since the 80’s. I’ve given a lot of both models as gifts.
I really like this style of knife but I don’t really want an auto but I might get the regular one.
Had mine from when I was a boy until one day my mother needed it and have never been able to get it back.
Yes
Morgan Earp hahahaha great sense of humor
Dang
Classic. The Buck co. has a lot of potential if they embrace quality and time tested designs.
Love my Buck, had it 20 years..
'Had it for 20 years..." And THEN what happened???
I like that Buck added this to their lineup. Much of their pocketknife line seemed heavily centered around the super cheap market for the longest time, so this is nice to see. However, given the blade steel, I would like to see this knife as it is at the $100 street price market. Maybe, with more options like you mentioned, we could starting working our way to $200, but this knife as it exists seems to be a way to recoup the automatic mechanism R&D investment. Peened pins in a knife of this price is also a mistake if you ask me. It leaves the end user with no option of in-field maintenance or repair. I am glad to see Buck enhancing their line, but I want to see this happen across the board, and I want more competitive offerings if they are intent on asking Benchmade-esque prices for their blades. Buck makes fantastic fixed blades at reasonable or understandable prices, but their folders are either much too cheap in quality for me or are ridiculously overpriced like this with very few options.
I like your ideas for a buck 110 tactical
Nutn is correct about ranchers/construction workers favoring a belt sheath. Its far easier to take it in and out of a sheath than trying to clip a knife on a pocket especially if the clip is stout. Plus when working you'll always have crap in your pockets (sockets, nails, backy) so the clip knife gets in the way. Working around the hospital I work at now I don't want belt sheaths but back when I worked construction I didn't care about walking around with multiple sheaths of various tools.
On my ship, all the boatswains mates had the 110's. The first edc knife I was introduced to. I still have mine! Polish the brass on mine with Nevr-Dull. To help flip theirs out one-handed, they would loosen the pivot. I consider it a relic though now. It's just like carrying a battleship, even in a belt case.
The knife isn’t for me but I could listen to you two banter all day.
Micarta is my favorite grip material for knives and pistols!
Hey Nutn,
I really like the Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Dive Watch, performs great, good looking and never needs a new battery.
What I feel like this would work for me is when I want to dress up and be more traditional sort of like going to church or an event I carried a buck 110 for years as a kid it would be nice to have that burst of nostalgia and still have a lifelike I'm used to carrying today
I love all knives. I especially love the buck 110 and have many different bucks.
SWEET stick.... I lived in San Diego when Buck was based there....cheers
That throw back hunting pic is awesome!
The knife I never knew I wanted. ❤️
You guys gushing about these crap watches is akin to "Man, these Frost Cutlery knives are AWESOME. Saw a guy on TV and bought 30 for $20. EXCELLENT value!"
And another thing you can order your buck with any Steele you want as well as any scales
Dam totally in my wheel house.... I'm in love with the 112 and I'm so ready to purchase the 110 and will follow with the elite autos also, totally into it love it huge fan. Good video guys
My dad would love this. He’s carried a buck knife on his belt as long as I can remember (and probably before that). I’ve bought him “better” more modern knives trying to convert him and he wants nothing to do with it.
This was a short video with a lot of condensed material, but I think one POU should have been focused on more. Not as an EDC blade but as a hunting/wilderness personal defense blade. Many hunters from coast to coast have grown up with Buck 110 knives, and love the childhood nostalgia, but this auto function makes it a valid defense knife. Defense from predators I mean. I wouldn't want to have a bear or cougar charging me, pistol jam or fail, and have to rely on pulling my folding Buck 110, from it's snap top sheath on my belt, in time to save my life. I don't think the 110 can be considered an EDC blade for more than 2.5% of the population. I feel this knife is an improvement on the 110, in the sense that it can be considered more of a wilderness defense knife now, instead of just a cleaning and capeing knife. This video just seemed like it was trying to shove the 110 into the EDC blade category, just because they added an auto deploy feature. Still a big fan of the NtF channel though!
Yes it was,and is a belt carry style knife. I carryed one for years till I un- locked w the palm of my hand (that was some super glue and bandaids). Thumb lock or fixed for now on. It is still a great traditional knife though.
Have you tried a barkriver fixed blade? I tried one last year and haven’t stopped carrying it since. It cuts batter than anything else I own. Funny thing is my Folders are collecting dust and I’m not looking to buy any new knives
What? Modern knife guys hate traditional / hunting knives? No way, I like all knives! Just because I do not need a hunting knife does not mean I'm not interested in them!
Hunter? That’s my next tactical knife, lol. Professed Buck fan right here. Great review
2:00 tacdoodle’s eyes reflexively glaze-over momentarily at this point. Lol
Freaken’ awesome story for real though!
Some of us don't like clips because we're in and out of cars all day. Pocket clips and holster clips are quickly bent on seatbelts and then the knife or holster spends more time waiting on parts than in my pocket.
This is gonna be a good review I was considering this blade
i have a 110 clone as well. old Pakistan copy that my Dad gave me when i was a kid. First blade i ever owned
Case and Remington did similar knives way back in the day.
This knife is a dream for any knife owner
No better title.. seriously my dream knife
Had a couple 110s growing up. They should just do one button deployment and same button to release
Dont fix what's not broke..
Buck 110 is all a person needs
I love old brass buck knives!
Outdoor edge swing blade is an amazing deer knife.
Man, this came from Patreon quick, I didn't even get a chance to watch it. I too grew up with this nice, I think it is very cool, but a little on the expensive side. Like you two together.
The reason why automatics are in demand because certain States like Missouri since 2012 have made them legal until 2012 push button knife were completely illegal in the state of Missouri and of courseover the years people have tried all those cheap Italian push button stiletto want to be switchblades and really there all junk but the automatic c-110 is actually a really good knife especially for the price even though the blade is a little brittle they hold an edge very very very well
Nostalgic and auto, very nice.
The sheath is special to accommodate the auto feature...
My man, Nutnfancy...droppin 2 vids at once on us freeloading TH-cam bastards!
Ern. Col. FUT B thats me.
All new NRA memberships come with a free year of the NFP Gold Channel. At least in a perfect world.
Totally agree, needs to be a brown leather sheath.
Awesome Knife. But if you ship it to Buck Knives for repair/maintenance, they will not send it back to you BC it’s auto.
Got to love the 110
