Hi, looking for someone to make some really good whitetail buck shed antler scales for my Buck Folding Alpha Hunter (279). I have the antler that will be used, but I don't have the tools to cut and shape them. The rest of the knife is in really good shape, and you can use the original rubber scales to shape them with. Let me know if you are willing to take this on, I can send photos of the knife and antler, and you can quote me a price. Very little polishing will be needed, except on the edges of the scales.
Mostly bikers, hunters, and truckers carried the 110 in the 1970s. After the TV series 'The Dukes of Hazzard' came out in 1979, everyone had a Buck 110 on their hip, even in school. I opted for a Schrade LB7. Used to put finger grooves on 110s or reprofile the blade tang for quick one-handed flicking. One company made a blade attachment called the Flicket that was very popular for Buck 110s and similar knives.
I opted for a Schrade LB7 as well. My wife at the time gifted it to me as an anniversary gift in 1981. Still have it today. I preferred the LB7 over the Buck 110 because the finish was much more refined. For instance, the rivets along with the pin were flush with the scales, and the mechanics of blade open and close were smoother and solid, as it is today :)
Not to forget Navy men always had 110s on their belts - closest thing to a modern sword on board ship. Problem was too many snipes and Skulls would get into knife fights (speaking from personal experiance) so Buck came up with the shorter blade ranger for ship board use which doesnt make it any less lethal. Blades are so sharp you bleed just looking at them.
@@RobertBena-r9e I was in the Navy from 1983 to 1987 as an Aviation Electronics Tech, but went to Aircrew School in Pensacola FL. after A School. Stationed as a Helicopter Crewchief on Heuy UN-1N's in Southern California. Tucked in Chambray shirts and dungarees for the work uniform back then. We weren't supposed to have anything hanging on our belts, so a lot of the guys had the Paraloft sew up Nylon webbing as an inside the waistband knife sheath. All you would see is a loop over the webbed belt. These days the new Navy working uniform covers your belt so you can't see what is clipped on that belt. I carried a Spyderco Police model in my flightsuit chest pocket (they came out in 1984) and Cold Steel San Mai Tanto in my survival vest (I was dating one of the Cold Steel manager's daughter).
Great video. I think almost 7 out of 10 of the teens i grew up with had the buck 110 folding hunter. Ive had mine since i was around 12-13 years old (now im 57) and still have it in my small knife collection. Ive worked on a few of them but only to repair a broken handle or loose pins. After watching this video im giving serious consideration to customizing my buck 110 Thank you for all this great instructions you sir are a master.
Thanks so much David. They are an iconic knife, that's for sure. A buffing wheel is most beneficial for these projects. All of the rest of the job can be done by hand, sanding with various grits. However, you'll never make that brass and bone gleam without a buffing wheel!
David, if you have had your 110 for 45 years, it may be very collectible as is. Please look up the Buck date codes to see when it was made. I can't recall exactly when the date codes began -- probably around 1970. If so, yours is very collectible as is.
Lockback knives like this have been around for quite a while. Note the Cattaraugus 'King of the Woods' (1906). I'm fortunate to have had one passed down to me. I do not own a Buck 110 but wish I did. My go-to large knife for butchering and hunting is a Case double bladed Trapper. Thanks for the video.
I remember when the buck knife 1st came out. I was told I was too young have one When I was old enough I received one for my birthday . I have had many they have came and gone. I now have a 50 year anniversary. But after your video I'm going to buy another and try my hand at putting on new scales . Glad I found your TH-cam channel knife looks great look forward to more videos. Take care and thank you.
Nice job and carefully crafted. Would suggest cobbling together two thin lead covers for the machine vice to prevent injury some metals and using jewler's rouge for the brass polishing.
Use a ball cutter bit on your Dremel next time, you can do precise cutting to cut the pins heads down and not damage the scales so you can use them again if needed!
When I glue anything black, I mix photocopier toner in the epoxy, and it gives a deep glossy permanent black bond, which fills any imperfections as well.. Maybe this tip will help someone,,,
Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan , nope, I like the jet black colour for a lot of jobs, no downside at all !! I've heard you can mix in kids poster paint (dry powder type) for a range of colours,, but that's on my list of stuff to try !! Recently found your channel ,, keep up the good work buddy !!
A few years back I attended an inlay class with David Marks in Santa Rosa CA and Larry Robinson (he does much of Martins super high end work). Being a novice neither my routing nor my cutting were very accurate. But CA glue and wood/bone dust do a great job of filling in any gaps between the inlay and substrate. Won’t improve the accuracy of what was cut, but you won’t have gaps. Soooo.. If you have a similar issue with scale material and bolsters such as are on the Buck 110 worry not, you can fix it with CA glue and dust from sanding...
I’d prefer like a exotic wood as a handle, but the choice you made is pretty good. I do like how people do try and work on old knives even if it’s just to give them a new look.
You did a beautiful job on that Buck. I kind of cringed when you started but the results were worth the watching. I wonder what that knife would look like with some good stag inlays?
That is a thing of Beauty, I honestly thought you would put new Brass rivets through the scales to keep the look, but this is in a way much better. Horn is a natural product and the rivet holes would allow for the Horn to Crack. This way, you have reduced the risk of cracking from the Horn drying out excessively. Wish that was my knife.
Kbar made a version of this knife where the wooden inlays were twice as thick and tapered down to meet the brass. I hope this is what you did and you used that thickness to better the knife
The 110 is a classic for sure. I've got a 110, 503 & 373 - hope to order a customized 112 at some point (no pun intended). Thanks for the video on a great knife!
Always Wondered how to take this particular knife apart, thanks to you for showing this video I can't wait to restore mind, will let you know how it turns out.
I do that vice thing too ,I have a big ‘un and a little’un to go in my joiners vice, very useful. I ‘ d like to have seen the rivets back in place if it was mine.
Very nice video Kyle. This isn't the first time I watched this but I think I picked up some detail I didn't see originally. The scales are incredible. I have a 110 from their custom shop. It has white scales and a black finish on the blade. My thinking was a mirror finish would look nice opposed to the black. I had the blade made with S30V steel. one of my favorites. Again great video. I enjoyed it very much. R
I enjoy your work. Recently, I took apart a badly damaged third version Buck 110 to replace the blade and spring. When I removed the handles (which were pinned and seemed original) I noticed a thin layer of grey adhesive on the handles. It looked like very old JB Weld type of stuff. It pretty much stayed stuck to the scales and I’m going to leave it alone when I re-pin the handles. Have you ever seen evidence of adhesive on older Buck 110s? The one I’m working on had the integral brass spring retainer cast into the one side of the handle. I’m not sure if this was done by Buck at the factory or if the handles were removed and glued and re-pinned somehow at some point in the past. Based on what I saw, I would assume the handle rivets were original to the knife and whatever adhesive that is was on there from the beginning but I’m just not sure. Thanks!
The T Piece you made for the 'vice in a vice' set up is what I used some time ago in my workshop with my buffing/grinding wheel tool. That would also save you space.... Just something to consider. Nice work on the knife!👏👏
You did an awesome job with that knife. I have maybe 50 Buck knifes. Family & friends bought them for me over the years as Christmas and Birthday presents. I saved almost all of them. The Buck 112 is a far better knife then the 110. What would it cost to get a couple of knifes done this way? Where are you located? I was thinking about doing one for myself and one for my son.
Nice work brother- I did finally get that shotgun shell holder from gearbest took about a month and a week to get it but it's really nice thank you for the tip.
I have customized my 110, and glued on the scales with 2 part epoxy ,no pins through the scales. I used buffalo horn and proper prep. The scales came off after carrying. I reglued using different 2 part epoxy and they came off again. Does this make sense? Are these just safe queens? Help.
I used to use alot of the b horn it sands and polishes nice... Until i did a camillus 32 fish knife for a florida resident... Yep you guessed it the sunshine state warped it up bad! So im going to use other materials,theres plenty more to choose from.And also always pin your handles to the knife;i mean no epoxy even blade bond can handle shocks like being dropped...Handles will just pop off! not a good feeling,esp when you do all that work.... Looks good though!!
Where abouts is that accent from? I can definitely hear Irish influence in there. I just bought an Uncle Henry buck 110 style knife and hopefully this year will get my first water buffalo here in the Northern Territory of Australia. I'll have to look up how to stabilize the horns so I can customize my knife with them. Figure it would be a great hand me down for my son. Thanks for the video. Awesome work.
i nave a nice-looking Gerber with zebrawood inserts finger grip curves, brass bolsters and a really polished blade I liked the look of it better than the buck I got i back around 1990 when they were clearing out those styles for the synthetic handle knives
Very nice looking end result! I did a similar thing with a very old Victoria farmers knife I was given. It had dried out, beat up horn scales that desperately needed replacing. I absolutely love the look of horn scales, they polish beautifully and they feel wonderful to the hand. Now I want a Buck 110 to refurnish...
I did! I ran right over the bolsters! That's the key. You have tons of material to work with. Sacrifice a little brass and save a mountain of time, and get better results
Fantastic videos! So glad Lars from Survival Russia mention you and I came by to have a look. Loving the content and look forward to the next one. Cheers from a mainlander in Toronto :)

Good job. I have one that has my company name on it even in the black leather. Love my buck 110 it's me favorite but I just couldn't change a thing about tho bro I love it the way it is.
Tree Top: I agree. The only time to change the scales is if the originals are damaged. I also worried about the minor damage caused by the pliers, and the rather crude tools (the vise, for instance, used as an anvil). No reason to take apart an immaculate knife. But each to his own.
Wow brother that’s amazing work!! I would love a customized Buck 112. I actually have a TH-cam channel- where most of my reviews are Buck knives.. I would love to do some business with you!

Cool project! Try a brass hammer when pounding on the brass bolsters.
Brother, just beautiful... Thank you so much 🙏 can’t wait for it to get here.
You did a lovely job on the Buck knife. The owner will be more proud than before to have such a great looking knife.
That was an amazing transformation of a generic Buck 110 (which is a nice knife, indeed) to a stunning work of art. I truly envy your skills.
Beautiful work. I have owned a 110 for about 40 years

You can mix in the dust produced by sanding the material you are working with. The correct colour is always to hand.

Good question. Was the metal prepared properly to accept the epoxy?
Amazing job!! I would not imagine that is so easy to take apart a 110!!. Thank for the video I'm really thinking about to modify my 110.
not that easy..
Excellent tutorial for customizing the 110. I have several. Think I'll get to work on a scale swap project!

You're a true artist and craftsman. Great work.
Thanks Eddie!
Absolutely stunning ! Enjoy this video.
Gorgeous work, that's a keeper for sure
This is so cool I want to put new scales On my buck knife now.
Does Buck knives stil make the model 112? I use to carry that knife back in the 70s. I think it's a better knife.
Thomas Tommy yes they do there about 50-60 dollars I had one in the 70s as well loved it still have it and I bought my grandson one last year
Where abouts is that accent from? I can definitely hear Irish influence in there.
I just bought an Uncle Henry buck 110 style knife and hopefully this year will get my first water buffalo here in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Awesome Job Kyle Thanks for Sharing
i nave a nice-looking Gerber with zebrawood inserts finger grip curves, brass bolsters and a really polished blade I liked the look of it better than the buck I got i back around 1990 when they were clearing out those styles for the synthetic handle knives
Very nice looking end result! I did a similar thing with a very old Victoria farmers knife I was given. It had dried out, beat up horn scales that desperately needed replacing. I absolutely love the look of horn scales, they polish beautifully and they feel wonderful to the hand. Now I want a Buck 110 to refurnish...
The Bucks are a ton of fun to customize in this way, given all the amazing solid brass!
At 14:09 where you're showing the shaped edge; HOW did you get it so perfect without scratching or damaging the bolsters?
I did! I ran right over the bolsters! That's the key. You have tons of material to work with. Sacrifice a little brass and save a mountain of time, and get better results
Excellent tutorial. Of topic now but do you ever lubricate the opening pivot on your case knives? If so what do you personally use?
What kind of glue did you use to put the grips back on the knife?
I just ordered a custom 110 should be here in 4 weeks (From the Buck shop)I chose Buckeye Burl for the handle
That’s beautiful. I am so gonna attempt that. I’m from Hawaii so I think I’ll use Koa 🤔🤙🏽
I just found my birthday present this year; replace some scales with buffalo horn.

This kid is really good.
How did you keep the epoxy from going through the pin holes into the blade channel?

Tree Top: I agree. The only time to change the scales is if the originals are damaged. I also worried about the minor damage caused by the pliers, and the rather crude tools (the vise, for instance, used as an anvil). No reason to take apart an immaculate knife. But each to his own.
Beautiful work
Wow brother that’s amazing work!! I would love a customized Buck 112. I actually have a TH-cam channel- where most of my reviews are Buck knives.. I would love to do some business with you!
That's a beautiful job you did! Very impressive! I'd love one done up with kirinite scales
