    I purchased my Buck 110 in 1978, the year I joined the armed forces. I carried it on deployments to all corners of this planet, from the desert to north of the arctic circle. It has never failed me, and is razor sharp. I still use and carry it today. The best knife I ever purchased.

      I've been recently collecting the 3 dot 1980-81 110's because that was the last year they used the better Bos heat treated 440C with the squared off bolsters. I call it my Waylon Jennings/Outlaw Country knife. I prefer the vintage stuff now because it works. No springs, screws or internal parts that will fail and easy to put a shaving sharp edge on in the field.

      Surprised they let you carry it. I never been in the army, my father kept me away from that life since he been through it and wanted me to do something better, but anyway I assumed with the strictness of the military and the weakening of the modern mind that they’d not allow you to have it.
      Edit: Oh nevermind, you said it was in the late 70s not post 9/11 and post social media. I am sure they became soft and see the knife as some scary weapon or something instead of a tool.

      @@kova1577 I can't speak for the "modern" military. After mid 1976 I carried a Buck 112 everywhere I went, even when I had dress greens on. I picked the 112 as it had a shorter blade than the 110, there were some concealed weapon problems in those days which the 112 avoided. For me it was just part of the uniform in those days.

    I gave my father a Buck 110 for Christmas in 1974. My Dad carried that knife for the rest of his life. I now have it. It will be 50 years old next year. I gave $10 for that knife at the Navy Exchange at NAS Alameda,CA.

    My dad always carried this knife and i also do too. One thing he brought up is that if in a self defense situation, and you don't have time to even open it, you can hold it in your fist and "hammer fist" strike with the butt of the knife into the temple or any other vulnerable area. Great all around knife from hunting/camping to an EDC and defense knife.

    Back in the early 70’s I worked the late shift soon after Buck Knives moved into the El Cajon factory. Every night they would give me a few trays of parts,. First step was to mix epoxy and fix the wood to the brass, then rivet the wood/brass halves, next step was to assemble the blade (which wasn’t sharp) spring, sides and but end spacer. These parts were assembled with pins which were compressed with a press. My last step was to do a rough sanding to flush the wood, brass, pins. I didn’t last too long as I was studying architecture and went to work as a draftsman. I’ve always felt proud to say I worked at Buck Knives.

    I carried a knife like this (It was a folding buck - I am not sure of the exact model) during an aggregate of 32 months that I deployed In-Country Vietnam. I used it for everything in lieu of the Kabar issued by the Navy.
    I believe it saved my life one time in Saigon... I had just reenlisted and had several thousand dollars in military payment certificates (MPC) on my person. I hailed a civilian cab to travel from the Naval Activity Personnel Office to the military post office where I could purchase money orders. It was a damned inconvenient system
    We had not gone a single block when the cabbie stopped and another Vietnamese guy hopped in the front street. Then the cabbie turned away from where I had (in Vietnamese) told him to drive. I ordered him to stop (again speaking Vietnamese) but he kept going. I retrieved the Buck from the holster on my belt, opened it, and placed the cutting edge next to the drivers neck, telling him again to stop.
    This time he understood my Vietnamese and stopped. I got out and he drove off. I don't think that he was a V.C but, rather a Cowboy, a street thief. Anyway, he didn't get anything from me...

    My uncle bought one of these in the 1970's and a week later he lost it. So he went out and bought another one and as you would expect, found the first one soon after. So he had 2. He kept the original one in storage and gave it to me a few years ago. Still perfect.

    Well, I have to admit that I know this knife and I always think or better let me say feel, this is a knife which my grandfather already had, too. And probably he owned one. That's not bad, for me this knife is something like a real folding knife, a father of today's knives and if you would ask me to draw a typical knife, I would sketch this one. The Micarta version made me feel I want one. Thank you for the overview!

    I'm 65 years old and I have carried a 110 since I was a kid, when it was decided that I was "grown" enough to upgrade from my sheepfoot barlow. I have gone through a lot of them, with loss, theft, etc and I have chipped a few and destroyed the tip of a couple from doing things you should never do with a knife, but never actually broke one. Great corrosion resistance. Keeps a good edge but not a terrible PITA to sharpen. It looks and feels like a great, sturdy pocketknife that a working man or an outdoorsman would naturally carry. Iconic? Yeah, and historic. This was the first really successful "folding hunter". It is the namesake for a whole category of folders. What's so great about a Buck 110? it's just great, that's what's great about it. Made in America, and still affordable enough that you don't have to treat it like a precious jewel. Oh. look up the warranty on this thing. This, and the Zippo lighter, Not many things that they will fix or replace forever, but this is one of them.

  • @UltraMagaFan

    The first Buck knife I got was the Boone and Crockett Club 50th anniversary 110 hunter. It was a gift for my 11th birthday. I love that thing. 9 years later after heavy use it is still going strong.
    Also, I recently got a #422 Bucklite from my father. He bought the thing brand new back in 1989. After 34 years of use that thing is also in great shape.
    These knives hold an edge incredibly well and they are also very durable. That’s a big reason why they are so great.

    Absolute American classic. I have had 3 of these now; I lost 2 of them. I really, really want to buy the auto or auto elite; it's just so damn cool. The stock holsters wore out from daily carry, so I got a nice vertical slip fit from a leather guy in the Phillipines, via Ebay. I love this knife even more with a good quality clip holster that I can just slide it out of, and it looks sweet to boot. I've also gifted several of these knives as well, and will probably be sending one to my nephew soon. You just can't go wrong with these knives.

    It's just my favorite knife. So many of them have been around 50+ years and still work perfectly fine for their age. No it's not a super steel, but it is easy to sharpen with field tools and stays sharp long enough. I prefer it to more expensive knives and it's USA made!

  • @raphaelargus2984
    @raphaelargus2984 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    For my taste, a 110 is like a Fender Tele or Gibson Les Paul. I'll go with the tried and true unmodified classic the way it was originally made. If I want a 110 with plastic handle, pocket clips and spring-button action, or if I want a Telecaster with humbucker pickups, I'll just go all the way and get a Spyderco knife or a Paul Reed Smith guitar. But the classics have stood the test of time for a reason.

    2:30 S30V actually is a step down from 420HC in regards to corrosion resistance. Same with toughness. It’s got over twice the amount of abrasion resistance as 420HC, but is about half as strong and slightly more rust-prone.

    I have to be extremely active and agile in my job, move all kinds of weird ways, always carry a 110 in a horizontal sheath in 7 o'clock position on my belt, so because it's tucked horizontal at my center of gravity, despite heavier weight it is actually less cumbersome than a slim folder in the pocket with a clip. Gets in the way less when I have to climb, crawl, bend, trot.

    I do like the Buck 110. It is a legend, but there is one knife i do like more than the 110. This knife i have in use for almost 30 years and it is in my opinion one of the best and most versatile quality folding knifes that exist. The Böker Optima. With this knife you can change blades in a second. I use 3 blades, The drop point for daily use, the bowie model for hunting and a saw. Everything you can have in the same leather sheath so you have always the right blade with you. It is way more expensive than the 110. A blade is about the price from a 110 but it is in my opinion the only knife you need for hunting, fishing, outdoor, etc.

    Tyler happy Wednesday, forgive me if I am wrong but you failed to mention what I consider to be a significant difference between the 110 Lightweight & the 110 Slim Select in that the 110 Lightweight retains the standard 110 Clip Point blade whereas the 110 Slim Select has a modified Clip Point which I consider a hybrid between the classic Buck Clip Point design and a partial Spear Point design . The same hybrid blade is also on the Buck 112 Slim Select ( which I own rather than the 110 SS ) . I am thinking now of buying a 110 Lightweight & adding a thumb stud to it.

    • @Gpknives
      @Gpknives  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Buck still defines both blade shapes as clip points. I do see the LW has the more pronounced clip while the Slim Select is modified which should add strength. Both solid designs that offer good bang for the buck. 😆 Thanks for watching.

      @@Gpknives I much prefer the more pointed original blade, somehow the modified design is less good at making small holes in say a leather belt as it has a smaller tip. I am a fan of the Buck Clip Point & apart from owning 110's & 112's I have 2 Wenger Swiss Buck 85mm knives ( the Trekker & Odyssey models the equivalent of the Victorinox 91mm Camper & the 85mm Tourist ) they both have Buck style Clip Point main blades & a secondary blades with the sharp almost needle like tip on the classic Buck 110 Hunter

    Two things l noticed...the slim pro's and a few others have moved away from the classic Buck clip point, and the pocket clips on almost every Buck that has a pocket clip...they are ugly. I know Buck is capable of producing good deep carry clips (they are offered on several Buck knives).
    As far as the clip point blade...l like the original swept clip, not the modern straight clip.
