I customized one of these almost 50 years ago by radically beveling the the brass edges. The knife was seriously wearing out my jeans with its hard brass. It looks great and is more comfortable in the hand and much kinder to my jeans. In fact about a month ago, I dug it out of knife drawer and polished and sharpened it. Great knife.
Talk about nostalgia. My Buck 110 was the first knife I ever bought. Thinking it was somewhere around '79 or '80 and I still have it. Beautiful job on that 112!
The sign of a true master is when they make the difficult seem easy… Kyle, you are a master!!! Great job!!!
Great work. I just cleaned up a 112 yesterday. Took me a few weeks to get 98.9% of the scratches and dents. My old friend tossed it out the car window doing 55 mph. I said oh to hell with that and went back and got it. I have had it since 1994 and it is now cleaned up and shinny and razor sharp. Great work on the 112 you did Sir.
👍 I just enjoy watching you bring the Buck 110s & 112s back to life and/or just spice up a newer one. Great job on this 112.
Good job is done✅
Was reading through the comments, and just like a lot of them, my dad carried one of these for years. Love the memories this brought back. Beautiful job on this great knife!
Beautiful transformation. I love the end result on that classic knife!
Beautiful. An old friend restored. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful craftsmanship Kyle! I love to watch you work your magic.
Thanks Ervin!
I truly admire niche craftsmen. Feel like i missed out not developing a skill like or similar to this early in life.
You're not alone.
It’s never too late bud
The best time to start was in your teens. The 2nd best time to start is today!
Wow!!!! Masterfully done!!!
I carried a Buck 112 when I was overseas in the Army in the early 70's. It was the only knife we could wear in uniform and I bought it at our tiny P.X. I tried to keep mine in good shape, but it was a work knife. I still have it
Wow that was beautiful
Oh, wow! Beautiful work. Love the 112.
Wow, just found this video by accident on utube, I'm a 60 year old Brit holding one of these in my hand right now, i worked for 2 months on a farm when i was 15 to save up enough to buy one of these mail order from the US. It really is as good as the day i unpacked it. Buck sure did know how to make a damn good knife.
Incredible!
My great grandfather would be happy to see the work you have done to restore this knife.
Beautiful work
Fantastic job on that old knife. I have carried a Buck 112 since the early 80's. Carried Buck 110's before that. I have small hands and the 112's just fit me perfect..
That's awesome, Charles. Since the 80's. That's dedication!
I will admit I almost hesitated watching this video cuz I normally don't like seeing an old buck knife customized because it is well-worth just restoring it back to its original condition but after watching this video I am very impressed awesome job my friend you took an old knife and actually gave it a new look and I love the Micarta handles Buck would be proud
WOW!.
I still have 2 BUCKS that I bought in 1979, They are in great condition.
It's some of my new ones I would like to customize. The burgundy looks elegent, very well done. 👌
You turned that 112 into a work of art. Exceptional work my friend. Very impressed with the outcome.
Amazing craftsmanship. Great quality video 👍
I call that love. As much as I enjoyed the restoration I prefer to see the old guys with all the years of use.
The contouring on handles of the newer versions of the 110 and 112 both seem like significant improvements to me, blocky handles with relatively sharp edges aren't very comfortable in the hand.
This is simply stunning and I've been just amazed at the results - beautiful. Thanks for showing.
Fantastic job you have great skills nice job
Thanks!
Great work!
i would watch your Video in ASMR all day long, its so satisfying to listen and see it change ♥ but very instructive video ! im debating into doing it for my own old knife or just keeping it to a need cleanup
I have a buck that is only slightly larger and it is showing signs oxidation on the brass. It is only because i Keep in the sheath. So far I have never had to use it. To me it is a keep-sake. An interesting note, The company I worked for before retiring bought the building that Buck knives vacated when they moved to Idaho or Montana I think. They moved because the city that the land was incorporated under would not give them a tax break during tough economic times, so they basically said FU wer're out of here..... And that was almost fourteen years ago. Love your work my friend because of your focus on the details. I also like those notches you placed in the top of tang and blade. Very clever and stylistic. If that was my knife I would be absolutely delighted at your panache in keeping it BUCK but with an artistic touch. Well Done my friend.'
Superb transformation, thanks so much for posting.
I did something similar with a Schrade LB7. Broke to point and split the scale on a construction site. Replaced scale with pakkawood and some vulcanized fiber. I threaded the small pins into the brass liner and soldered. Didnt think about and jimping.
Beautiful job
Great restoration Kyle
Awesome work!
My first knife & still have it today a 110. Years later while travelling found a 112. It looks like a custom mod. Did try to find its owner but nobody claimed it. Gone on now 10 years and I still carry them both. Since watching your show I'm also very interested in Bushcraft knives. Saw one that you made for RCMP, that just started it. I use all my knives when in the bush with Black Fox being my go to. Cheers for sharing mate. Stay safe mate. Greetings from Australia.
Truly a well polished video
Beautiful work and a great knife
Beautiful work.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks Scott!
So awsome watching you , your a true craftsman..thank you
I love the work you do on those classic buck knives. I might have to talk you into fixing mine up.
You are one hell of a craftsman bro
I knew it! I checked out your info below the video to see if it was true, I could tell by the accent! You're a newfie! God bless you. Great work on that knife. Good to see a fellow East coast Canadian on you tube. (I'm from New Brunswick by the way). Took a woodworking course in Cape Breton so that would have been my second guess. All the best to you and yours!
Bought one of those in 1971 when I was in the Navy. Still have it, still cuts well.
Hello to France. Trs beau travail. Merci pour vos explications. Que Dieu vous bénisse.
GR8 job Kyle more like fantastic
Kyle, your expertise continues to amaze me buddy !! That is one gorgeous looking piece. There's nothing like a good old Buck.
Give your ladies hugs and kisses from Ontario 😗👍
Thanks Chris! I'll trade you one for a snazzy old Mucculloch 😀
@@kyle_noseworthy My brother, I would be honored to send you a nice clean little 10-10. Shes a ripper. I would love to see its new home out east. She was my main saw before I got laid up. Nothing like an old yellow wood wrecker 😀
You and your dad may need to put a plug in her but she gobbles wood like nobody's business
@@famasmaster2000 Haha That would be incredible. Make for a sweet video!
I have a 112 that I bought over 40 years ago. Still the most rugged knife I have ever owned. I have sort of retired it in favor of the more modern Benchmade but I’ll never get rid of it.
Looks very nice👍👍
Great vid, fun to watch. Thanx.
Beautiful. Now I want a Buck
Nice job ! I have 2 of the 110s. Love the groove work it really dressed it up
It really classes it up, doesn't it? Thanks Dan!
Still have my 1975 Buck 112. Back then something that heavy was cool but now I carry a Buck Nobleman. My 112 could use a clean up but it's still in pretty good shape.
I really enjoyed the video , I've repaired a few
Bucks and like to learn thanx
Great work
Awesome job man
Great job with a really nice video!
Beautiful work!! Respect!!
Nicely done good sir!!!
I carry a old Buck 317 from the early 70s that belonged to my grandfather. Old knives never die.
Mighty Fine Job, Better Than New Thanks Kyle ! ATB T God Bless
Beautiful work. I hope one day I can get one from you
Great job mate, first class 👍🏼
Very well done, amazing workmanship. Very stunning looking knife.
Great job.
This video reminded me that my dad had one of these and I used to mess around with it as a kid, but I haven't seen it in decades. I wonder where it ended up. Maybe it's still somewhere in my parents' house. Have to dig around and see if I can turn it up, and maybe it'll be in the queue for a restoration one day.
Great job!
Found one of these in a similar condition, cleaned it up and gifted it to my uncle on his wedding day, even managed to slip a coin into his pocket without him noticing before hand so he'd be ready.
Wow that's a Beautiful Knife very Nice 😁👍
I use wet sanding, #1000~2000 with a block on the brass to flatten it out and remove any ridges. I would avoid using a buffing wheel on the brass for the final and instead just use a polishing cream to avoid getting those streaks from your buffing wheel. Done a lot of polishing work on buffing wheels over the years as a custom Harley builder and aluminum, copper and brass are very hard to polish as the compound will shred those metals especially along the edges and can also create an uneven surface. Unfortunately the brass on my BUCK 110, which I've had for over 35 years, won't hold a shine longer than a half year so I stopped polishing it and just keep it sharp and clean and in it's sheath, looks almost brand new except for the tarnish.
That sticker on your tool box from wetterlings, i live 20km from that place and know half of the people that work there, since i help them with their busted backs and joints for a living! Took a screen dump from the video and showed one of the axe-shafters and she thought it was awesome and felt pride in seeing that sticker :) just wanted to let you know that even the small details in your videos matter brother! Keep up the good work and thanks for making content! 😁
Absolutely gorgeous restoration on your Buck model 112 Knife !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have two Buck model 112 pocket knives myself.
Nice!!
Beautiful job Kyle!
Omgoodness Kyle what a gorgeous Buck 112 !! You are such a great craftsman Kyle!!! I have a 110 for hunting . Great video as always Kyle! Take care and stay safe my friend !!
Thank you Troy!
Beautiful!
Beautiful
Heck yeah Kyle just what I was looking for great job
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I'm actually holding in my hands while watching this, my late father's BUCK 112. It's, for the most part, in almost perfect condition (no case). I would love to file digits on it like yours but I would hate to lose the original wood. And if I did do it anyway, I would prefer a wood replacement instead of the mylar and the pins still exposed. I suppose I just can't bare to alter it because then it wouldn't be the same Ol' knife that once worked in my beloved father's hands. I do however have also a small three blade BUCK 373 that would be really neat to do this too. No sentimental value to worry about. Again, beautiful job with your knife and you earned my subscription as well.
Those are Brazilian Rosewood plates. Never replace them unless they are in poor shape as you have to jump through more hoops than a circus dog to get that stuff.
Your right for not altering your dads old knife . I'm sure it's a gem just the way it is .
Man, that came out great! Awesome job Kyle. 👍👍
Thanks big Tex! Hope you're doing well!
@@kyle_noseworthy Thank you sir! All’s well here, hope the same is true for you and yours.
Beautiful work…I’ve been a huge BUCK fan since early 70s…
I’ve been lucky to pick a few up that have been (transformed) as you just did. Much better than typical spa treatment…. Thanks for making that vid…. Interesting!
Awesome video
Wow dude your good!
Hi Kyle. Even though it’s a year later that I’ve just come across your video. If I may so, you’ve got a great talent man. Beautiful work! Ive just ordered my first Buck 112 and look forward to getting it. Will check your playlist to re any sharpening tips. 🙏
Job well done! Looks beautiful!
Beautiful job all around. Love the burgundy micarta but the file work on the spine really makes the knife special.👍👍
Well done Kyle! I've had a Buck 110 over 30 years, still works like a new, very good knives they are. 112 is surely better suited as an EDC knife.
fantastic my friend! Pulling out a 110 to cut your steak with at a restaurant is the pinnacle of manliness, I figure! haha
Beautiful job Kyle. You are a true craftsman.
That life has some history
Thank you
Nice work
Outstanding work you did Sir. 👍🏽👊🏽
You should try Scotch Brite wheels instead of the wire wheels. It isn't as aggressive, and you can put sharp edges on it to fit into nooks and crannies.
at least hes gentle with it compared to other ''restorations'' channels
Very nice 👌 work
Awesome work as usual! Just a quick note about that 112 you were working on: it looks like a 3 dot tang stamp (if I'm reading it correctly from the video) which would date it to around 1980-81. Buck was still using solid ebony back then. I love what you did with the knife but that was not a "pressed wood" handle. I've found that with some conditioning those old ebony handles come back to life! (It also looks like an earlier brass frame. There was an extra pin hole on each side because buck changed pin configurations a few times.)
Thanks for the info, Patrick! I have never actually done any study on the dating methods of these knives. They have all been the same in terms of construction, so I haven't concerned myself with yet another pit of knowledge. Pretty interesting though!
@@kyle_noseworthy That knife turned out beautifully! Hopefully it lasts another 40 years
What oil did you use to treat the sheath? Beautiful job! I own 4 buck 112’s and 3 110’s I just went through them and cleaned that green oxidation off of 5 of them ( 2 of the 110’s have nylon sheaths). I use Brasso and Flitz for removing oxidation and polishing.
Excellent wish that was mine
Nice work!
Nice work, I have a soft spot for this knife. It was the first"good" knife I bought (or was it a110!?). Eneehoo....Thanks for making this clip. Real enjoyed it
Very nice!
Beautiful job man. I bought the 110 and I really like the quality of the knife. What is the oil you use for the pouch. Is coconut oil?
