Can you help me find a double action it’d at a good price like 60-80
Tree knife clip blade is a distinctive shape
I do not use any non
locking knifes except when dressed up
@@crackmonkeynet DID YOU SAY "USE NO" & LOCKING "KNIFES"?!!!. YOU OBVIOUSLY MUST'VE MEANT TO SAY "USE A-N-Y" & LOCKING "K-N-I-V-E-S", DIDN'T YOU?!!!. OF COURSE YOU DID, RIGHT?!!!. RIGHHHHHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!. GOT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT ETYMOLOGY & GRAMMATICAL USAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Do you like the Old Timer,,,? Not sure if they are still made and definitely might be different than the 60s if they do. 👍
“They’re affordable”
*Shows a Case knife*
compared to a micro-tech or benchmade knife or any other high end knifes
People in the knife world call anything under $150 "affordable" 😂
@@iancoots4394 seriously! It’s kinda ridiculous! I see all these videos of cool knives and the guy in the video goes “and you can pick these up for pretty cheap” then I go to check and it costs a months rent!
@@iancoots4394it is tho
Lemme justify my blade addiction 😂
My 2 case knives are bother letter openers and box openers in my kitchen, I have had several and I have never had one that didnt rust like a big dog just from being in my pocket. And I live in an arid desert lol. Tried to edc them, want to. Its unfortunate
I've carried a pocket knife for at least 65 yrs. I'd feel naked without one!
Same.
Same!
Yep!! Don't leave home w/o it!
I've worn holes in jeans from the clip being pulled in and out.I don't just drop them in my pocket anymore.
Remember those early Aprils in school when some kid would say "You dropped your knife", then you looked with all seriousness.
I have several folding pocket knives. My all time favorite is my Old Timer with 3 blades. I've had it for over 30 years now. I bought it and for some odd reason, it holds a lot of sentimental value.
Yes I like the older Old timers they seem to be made of better steel. Have several always carried one.
@benjimenfranklin7173 you don't realize the quality of one until you've had it for 3 decades and it still operates like new.

Really I have a hen and rooster that belonged to my grand father that was made in 1850 . It still works great plus I have another hen and rooster that I have carried sense 1980 and it still works fine too. Like grandad said it's a knife treat it like a knife not a hammer or pry bar .
Talk about quality !! The Hen and Rooster is the finest in the world.
Granddad always said a man without a knife isn't much of a man
I Have always heard that from my grand paw & all my Uncles Growing Up !
Yep, my father and grandfather said the same. Been carrying a pocket knife since I was 13, and I'm an old man now.
I tell that to my Grandkids now 😂
American 😏
Was he Puerto Rican? 😜
I managed to find an old Buck 110 for nine dollars at a thrift store, best purchase I’ve ever had. Thing is strong and holds an edge and has the boxy shaped handles like there were on older 110s.
You got lucky
Nice knife. Bit on the heavy side.
@@jskjsk3986 True, but solid without wobble.
you can't go wrong with a 110.
Not to mention buck has a lifetime warranty. You send that in if it gets rough looking and they'll freshen it up for you. Did it for my dad who had his since the 60's with square handles like your talking about.
My grandmother gave me a box of my grandfather’s various pocketknives when he passed a few years ago. Pretty cool stuff in there! Like a couple of brand new identical Buck folders that he bought because he thought he lost the first one, and ended up finding it later haha! I need to post a picture of them all laid out somewhere. Great content as always, much love from Texas!
A box full of grandpa’s treasures .! Lucky !
@@ukestudio3002 some pretty cool “no-no’s” as I used to call them as a kid haha!
Please do an "unboxing" video on UA-cam...
Link to Grandpa's collection?
Oh that would be an awesome gift to receive. Just looking at what he had throughout the decades
As someone living the north atlantic, we have always been told: "A knifeless man is a lifeless man".
Five reasons to carry a modern pocket knife:
1. A single blade knife is thinner, less bulky, thus more comfortable to carry.
2. It clips on the outside of a pocket so you don't have dig for it.
3. Thumb stud allows one hand opening.
4. The blade lock design allows one hand closing.
5. They can be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance.
I keep my traditional folders handy in a drawer or toolbox. My carry knife disappears in my pocket but is always at my fingertips when needed and requires only one hand and no eyes to operate.
Both! Both? Both.
Both is good.
I got a badass straight blade. I enjoy both being on me
I'm with you and they're regulated anyway in my country
#6 (but should be #1). Serrated blade.
Have carried a pocket knife since I was 7 years old , that's over 60 years ago & counting .
Whenever someone comes in to the shop looking for a knife for their husband.. put a Buck 110 on the counter, cant go wrong with brass and wood.
Love it have had a few but ..so heavy .
@ukestudio3002 they are ..but look so expensive and classy
I'm 60 years old now. And I've had a 110 on my side since I was 14 years old . 👍
I've had a half a dozen of them. They are very popular if left unattended 😢
@@matthedeen2190 true.....,🤔😩😩😩😱✌🏻
My dad carried an old Western pocket knife that I still own. He’d do everything from whittle wooden whistles to cut drywall with it. It’s been sharpened so many times that the blades original style and shape is unrecognizable.
That’s not a knife, you’re carrying your dad with you. Same with my dad’s tools. I can’t use them without thinking of him.
You are so lucky to have this ..a REAL heirloom !
At 60 i still have that brass Buck that i got at 10 yrs old. Just always loved the classy look.
I've been carrying a Swiss Army "Tinker" for about 40 years. I've got a lot of tools, woodworking tools, mechanical tools, garden tools, plumbing tools etc. My Swiss Army knife is the only tool that I have with me almost all of the time and it gets used almost daily. It opens boxes, cans and beer bottles. It cuts rope, it trims to fit, it scrapes. it pokes new hole in my belt and I've used it as steak knife more than once.
Buck, Case, and Old Timer are the one's i remember as a child my grandfather had all 3 over the years.
I carried a Buck 317 for decades. These days I carry an Uncle Henry Trapper.
I recently inherited my Grandpas knives too. He always carried a Case stockman or sometimes his Old Timer. Case, Schrade and Buck are "Grandpa knives" because Grandpa was wise beyond words and knew what was good.
@@jimbusmaximus4624Most Grandpa's are definitely wise
Been carrying an Old Timer single blade since i was a New Timer (teenager)! 50 now, so getting closer to being an old timer. This humble little pocket knife will certainly outlive me.
Case are fantastic, and Older Timer is made by Schrade which is pretty good. Buck is peak trash though, never buy Buck.
I’ve been carrying my Case redbone lock back in my small jeans pocket since becoming an adult 10 years ago and it’s never let me down. Everyone I give it to to use loves it
Case is probably one of my favorite old school styles that still are made today 🔥
Case makes awesome knives. They last forever. I have a Stockman from 1971 that I still use on a regular basis. It was my great grandfather’s and I inherited it.
So how’d you become an adult? Asking for a friend
@@HA51971 now that I think about it I’m not sure 😂 maybe when I got the dad bod
Wait we have to be an adult to carry one? I’m 54 and still haven’t gone over to the adult side of the room. I guess I’ll have to put all my folders in a box until I’m bigger enough. lol
I've carried a pocket knife for fifty years, since I bought my first at 16. Tried the "tactical" styles and multitools. I keep going back to the basic Stockman and Trapper styles.
The Buck Folding Hunter is one of the best knives ever made.
If you count no other knife ever, then sure. Buck knives are stupid expensive and they're made from absolute shit materials.
i got a Case Hawkbill lineman's knife for my electrical work. i love it
I used to carry a pocket knife to school every day back in the 70s when I was a kid here in Canada, so much that it wore an outline in my pants. If a kid did that today, THE SCHOOL WOULD BE LOCKED DOWN AND THE KID IN CUFFS ON HIS WAY TO JAIL.
Same here. Often had twenty-two shells, or even an occasional shotgun shell, in my pockets as well. Was in the 60's and 70 -71 for me.
Same. In my high school in the early 1970s, alk us "Southside Boys" carried pocketknives. They were necessary tools, not weapons.
Same here!! Every single day of my life since I was 7 years old!!
I remember when i was in school o accidentally brough a knife in my pocket and i remember thinking if they found out that they would probably put the place on lockdown
I wear one to school and I’ve never had any trouble. I’m not pulling it out in class or during school at all so I guess that’s why
A friend of mine once told me that "A gentleman always carries steel.".
Sure do, cold steel marauder
I carry an locking Opinel #6 in carbon steel. It's easy to sharpen and very light.
I carry a #8. Like the carbon steel blade, easy to keep a razor edge, just like the straight razors.
Opinels are some of the worst made knives that break the fastest, but they're also SO cheap that it kind of works. You can buy an Opinel for like ten dollars, use it for a rough task until it breaks, and then just get a new one.
Ah yes, the WW2 folder that won the war.
Yes like paratrooper knife (not rly a folder tho and the germans didnt won 😅)
😂
I mean for want of a nail...
Who knows. Maybe a folder DID win us the war.
@alexanderhanksx I can reread my high school and college textbooks and look in the index for 'knife that won the war'.
Italy, technically
Unfortunatly the buck 110 just recently doubled in price.
Got mine at Wally World for 69 bucks :/

I bought my son his first knife when he was just ten years old, you teach a kid to be responsible, is how you create a good adult.
So proud of him, graduated from the prestigious University Queensland with class one Honors with a degree in Electrical Engineering and now helping run our nations electrical grid.
God bless you and your family! Y’all sound great. ☺️
Couldn't agree more....had to use a little fold knife many times for many reasons, men in my family got me use to carrying small knives and I thank them often
Every man from all walks of life should have one
I have a friend that married a beautiful country girl that ALWAYS has her Buck folder on her!

A long time ago someone told me the code, a man doesn't leave the house without a belt, a watch, and a pocket knife.
I love my Uncle Henry stockman , Old Timer inner lock, Case trapper, and Old Timer lock back. All of which I grew up carrying on the farm. My first fixed blade was a bayonet for my m-16A1 when I joined the Army.
My Dad always carried one. Whenever someone needed to cut, pick at something or poke at whatever..he was always a hero when he pulled it out!
It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest "name brand" knife. Just carry something that will do the job well when you need it.
I was issued a Gerber multi tool in the army and that is the knife I still cary 10 years later. I can cut open a MRE, open a can of beans, and turn a screw all with my pocket knife.
Yeah, for what most of these folders cost or less, a person could get a nice Oregon made Leatherman that has a good blade in it. I like my Wave+.
I miss my Skeletool. I love a multi tool that I can access the blade with just my thumb.
@redclayscholar620 Gerber makes one that you can axcess th blades with out opening the pliers.
@@joshuathomas8529 now you're speaking my language! 😁
One I've experienced is when I flick open a modern folder, many folks clutch their pearls. When I open a traditional knife they rarely react at all.
People are afraid just because the big media told them to be afraid
If I were around people like that, I’d make a point to carry a “scarier” knife.
It’s a piece of sharp metal, a vaguely stylized tool, not a hand grenade. If all it takes to frighten them is a fancy looking grip and serrations, then I’d hate… or maybe love to see how they’d react to something actually scary.
@@JustinTK416they’re the same people who thing ar15 means assault rifle 15
@@jesselobsinger3325 well, to those people I just say I’ll go home and get my AR10. It’s only 2/3 as dangerous as an AR15.
Ive never even gotten a side eye when i pull my modern folder out.
But tbf i dont pay much attention to that because other peoples opinion on the knife i choose to cerry
Doesnt matter in the slightest
i used to carry a jacknife, but now i use the lever assisted serrated style. opens quickly, one handed, and they usually run around 10-15 bucks.
I've carried many different pocket knives through out the years, and I used to love a 'Gerber' folder that I managed to hang on to for many years. Excellent edge retention, and razor sharp.
But...I lost it somehow😢. I recently purchased a nice 'Kershaw' spring loaded open assist blade, and I think I have found a new favorite. I still keep an 'Old Timer' for a smaller pocket knife, but I keep that 'Kershaw' on me at all times...you know, in case I need to shave or something. 😉
I'm gonna carry whatever works for me
Love my case and my 110. Don’t carry em every day cause I think a folder that’s half serrated is much more practical.
Also, I’m OCD about keeping my 110 razor sharp and oiled up 😂
what do you think about steel bolsters and not brass? I had a brass 112 and it always got a patina and had an unpleasant smell
I think that is more reason to carry the 110.
I enjoy having a "light saber" of a pocket knife. Especially, when it is a design that means something to me.
I work with people from all over the world.
When they see a 110 come out, and effortlessly pass through a cut. The profile is immediately recognized.
"this is the American one, I have heard about these" "I have seen these" "can I try?"
Of course you can try it.
Sometimes I really appreciate the person, and gift them the knife from my pocket. A couple have received a second knife for their son.
Really nice boxed sets, are laying around in old hardware stores, and selling for pennies on the dollar.
I've gifted vintage boxed sets for less than modern retail on just the knife.
Time and task shared are worth more than just a knife.
A tool without a story is quickly forgotten.
My 110 auto in a angled belt sheath has been my go to for about a year now, I get the same way though, if I'm going to beat on a knife it definitely isn't my 1st pick (although i love the patina on mine) that title probably belongs to 12 dollar sheffeild trapper because of one of the reasons the video mentions, it has 2 big blades. One I'll dull pretty good and the other is reserved for tasks that aren't hard on an edge.
serrated edge? I hate a serrated edge.
What do the serrations do that you can't do with a regular sharp edge? In my experience, the only advantage to a serrated edge is it's easier to hack through something when the blade is dull. For me, a serrated edge is harder to keep sharp and is less versatile.
I’m a proud multi-tool wielder. Always get crap about having a small knife but I got a tool for every job and never go anywhere without it.
I had the Buck 389 traditional folding knife but gave it to my son before I ever used it, (so it wouldn't be wounded in battle before I gave it to him). It's small and has the traditional old timer appearance and is pretty attractive to look at. I just got the, Rush Deer, folding knife for $22 yesterday off of Amazon; it's 3.47 inches blade length, G10 Stainless steel, seatbelt cutter, window breaker on the end of it, black with neon green scales it is an assisted flipper but not spring assisted or automatic. Totally legal and pretty cool to look at. I never heard of Rush Deer until I saw it advertised the other day on UA-cam. I thought I would give it a shot; it's not a bad idea to give smaller companies and their product a shot. Many of the smaller less known companies are trying to make a name for themselves and many times put out a decent product at a good price. I'm pretty impressed with it overall and will see over time how good of a knife it is. ~ At $22 bucks if it lasts me a year I got my money's worth out of it. 😂 In a life or death situation it could be used for self-defense. You have the blade and the window breaker on the butt end of it which could be used for a temple or sternum strike, etc. It is totally legal and has more than one use. Good for EDC but is a little heavy but not overbearing. Thank you for the traditional folding knife short video. They are the pioneer knives that catapulted the knife industry. 😎👍✌️
Can't ever go wrong with a classic Buck 110 Hunter. The one I recommend to anyone just starting their knife collection or EDC journey.
Honestly, I think the 112 is a better option for most people. Just as good mechanically, but the smaller size is a lot more practical
@@thomasgordonjr.2208I'm torn between the 112 and 55 for my soon to be 13 year old.
That and a Schrade LB-7 or LB-8. They’re the same size and just a little bit bigger than the Buck 110.
Lmao yes you can. They're heavy, clunky, terrible ergonomics, poor cutting geometry, crappy steel, and you literally need a belt pouch to carry the thing unless you want it clunking around in your pocket. They're a terrible choice for edc.
@@not-a-raccoonif you don't already have a knife holder you're set to spend too much on pants worn down by belt clips if you do carry every day. My 2nd hand store bought buck sharpened up better than any other knife I've ever touched and then I absued it as much as possible cutting through fiberglass with mild steel behind it and the knife still cut well after days of construction abuse in the dirt and cutting tensioned banding straps. Go fanboy over new junk somewhere else
My dad has carried his Buck 110 since before I was born. I'm 33 now and he still has it in his truck or in his pocket. The tip of the blade is gone from whenever he tried to use it as a screwdriver, and there are small knicks up and down, but somehow he's managed to keep it sharp all these years.
Send it to Buck and they will clean and buff it and put on a new blade for about $10
Trad knives are the way to go for any collection
Class of 81 in southern Illinois high school half the guys wore Buck lock blades in leather cases on our belts. They weren't for weapons necessarily. They were tools.
I'm 56 and I grew up on a small dairy farm in the central valley of California. I have carried and used a pocket daily for at least years 50 years. All of my pocket knives are rusty from sweat.
i have carried mine for decades and will continue to do so till i expire
ahh flew from auckland to paris with a small stabing knife in my back- pack . it got through border cheak at airport and ahh nearly use it on two robbers in paris at night time attack on me. Pray some Arab got them or the sun heat in Paris City.
Agree 💯 I Carry a old buck it's the best the blade never gets dull old knifes are the best
I have that exact same buck. It has lived in my pocket for many years. Such a great knife.
I still have my Buck 110 from 1976, and it’s original leather case. I find my Boker Kalashnikov a more practical EDC, but will take my old Buck on occasion.
I am a bit wreckless in terms of resale value.
I like to save up, get nice things, then use them like they were free.
I was never going to sell it anyway. Might as well see what my money is worth.
Boker Kalashnikov has been my everyday knife since 2007. I also carry a Camillius US Army Engineer pattern 1992 dated since 1993.
Their lockback locking system is also one of the most secure/safe.
It is the MOST secure of all lock systems.
Got a Buck folding blade that is into it’s second generation and will be handed down to the third. Beautiful and practical. Carried daily for decades.
I carry a pocketknife which was a give away publicity gimmic from a wire rope manufacturer. It was given to my father before I was born and I'm now 76 but it's still going strong. I love the fact that it's not stainless steel blades so they are easy to put a decent edge on.
The buck 110 is one of my favorite knives
It IS my favorite without a doubt
They're only worth it if you can find the old ones. Buck still makes the 110 of course but they're so cheap and shitty these days. They started charging higher prices and using cheap steel.
Why? It's made from cheap crappy materials and costs a lot of money. Buck is one of the worst brands you can buy from.
The buck 110 is still a scary mofo when unleashed.
I have a slight preference for a Schrade LB7.
I have carried folders all my life and used them virtually every day. The Victorinox "Tinker" is very useful for me, it can be easily resharpened, and is cheap enough to use, abuse, and lose, as needed. The blades (consider one as a spare "sharp blade") will open a box, open a letter, or open a steel food can. Other "tools" are small, but often do the job in a pinch
I've got a Buck 110A. Always was the coolest looking knife in my opinion adding the automatic opening makes it that much more badass.
-You typically cannot take them apart to service them
-They usually come in outdated steels
-They often require two hands to open
-Many do not have locks making them more difficult/dangerous to use
-A large number of them do not have pocket clips
There are autos, wave mods, and simply modern versions.
I nerd out about steels, I rarely sharpen knives.
Strop semi-frequently, but sharpening is reserved for setting an angle.
These are all great reasons to get a modern knife with a more modern design. I do love them, in fact I have one in my pocket right now, with a pretty, albeit dusty, traditional on my desk.
Thanks for watching!
Spoken like a true Gen Z that knows everything about everything 😂
“Oudated steels,” lol. Steels don’t have expiration dates. The knives that are made of “inferior” steels did a hell of a lot more work than many knives made from super steels (which spend their lives being IG models).
While newer steels do have their benefits, those come at a the price of compromises that may make them not the best choice for some people.
You should choose your steel based on the work you need the knife to do, not on how new it is.
Also, if you can’t use a slipjoint without hurting yourself, you need to learn how to properly use a knife and pick the correct knife for the job.
@@HanlonRazor First of all, I did not say steels have expiration dates. I don't know where you got that from but I'd appreciate you not putting words in my mouth as it is extremely dishonest.
What you do with your knives has no effect on wich knife steel is generally better that the other. If you want your supersteels to live on insta that's fine but they are still going to preform better than more antiquated steels.
Your last three paragraphs: I agree with, support my point(s), or are irrelevant so I will not address them.
It is and isn’t traditional, but the Buck 110 Auto Elite is my workhorse and the blade I trust more than anything else. Classic look and feel with just enough flash to keep me carrying it. I actually bought it from you in 2020.
I've carried my old Case 3 blade for 53 years, great knife. Just recently retired the old boy cuz the bone was getting a little thin. Got it for Christmas as a kid. Sittin on my shelf now on display.
I've carried around a Buck 303 for 48 years. Still in great shape. Used to use it for electronics work before I became a computer programmer.
Key word: "nonthreatening." I don't want people tensing up when they see my knife. So I carry a Case folder.
Never know when a mad squirrel attacks 😂
Case knives are extremely well crafted blades that are beyond classic.
I never leave home without one. It has come in handy countless times over the years.
Very cool.
Agree . Love the tradition of carrying a knife, knowing it’s what our grandpas did. As a result, particularly fun to find an inexpensive treasure, with a history of chores behind it. Thanks for this video.
Got an old timer folder and a swiss that are my edc knives.
Why not a traditional folder with a modern super steel? Get the best of both worlds.
Super steel isn’t really super, it’s all the same tbh just fancier names
@@isaiahthekid41not really, it’s different mixes of carbon but there is no true super steel it just depends on heat treatment, composition, edge retention, and ease of sharpening
@@CRlMSONz I own knives with m4,s30v,s90v and I don’t see a difference in terms of edge retention when compared to something like 440c or 1055 I don’t know why I use my knives all the time
@@isaiahthekid41 I guess it just depend on the activities and things you use your knives for
Probably the most intuitively well grounded argument on UA-cam.
My great grandpa carried Case brand knife that was equipped with 3 blades and white almost bone colored scales i have no clue what model it was but it was given to him by my great uncle as a birthday gift in the mid 90s and he carried it to the day he final days it was handed to an aunt before he entered the hospital and was he was diagnosed with cancer he passed a month or 2 later He is the reason i carry a knife and even thought i carry a utility knife most days the "classic old man knife" style holds many places in my collection
The Buck 110 is the first new knife I bought. 1979 at the PX when I was in boot camp. Still have the original belt holster and box.
Case and Buck 2 of my favorite knives.
Funny that you showed a Buck Workman. I still have mine 40 years later and it's still a great knife. I don't carry it everyday like I used to, but I still like it.
My father carried a 2" one on his key-ring. I have a slightly larger one. Amazing how often they come in handy, from cutting all manner of twine, tape, zip-ties, scraping off some damaged material, peeling fruit, trimming plants, personal grooming, screw driver etc 🙂.
I saw a blue collar young guy carrying a buck110 in the leather pouch! Super cool! It was nice to see someone in their 20s interested
I have an Old Timer 2 blade pocket knife that is always with me. It belonged to my grandfather who passed it to my dad on his graduation day and my father passed it to me on my graduation day. It's a useful tool and a constant reminder of two important men in my life that are both now gone. I just wish I had a son to pass it on too.
I got my dad new "old timer" pocket knife when I was 12. mom gave it back when dad passed away. I'm in 70s an still carry an use it 60 years later.i still use my Buck 110 featured in your video.
One of my all time best go-to birthday/christmas presents is a buck knife
I carry my dads old buck knife everywhere. I like the utility and the look. Nothing beats an old buck. RIP old man.
That Buck Folding Hunter you displayed is an exact replica of the one I've carried since the early 70's. It's gone through hell and back and never once failed me. A knife so strong and well built that it can be used as a light hammer with no ill effects.
They are extremely useful and that’s part of how they became part of our heritage. Love them.
Still have & love my Buck 110 that I bought as a teenager back in 1980. It's kept in the original sheath/pouch & I have the original receipt + paperwork. 🗡️😎🤙
I carry a buck knife with a Damascus steel blade. Engraved brass caps. I love it. I have had it for about 5 years. Still beautiful and sharp
I have a Buck Trapper that I found in 1974. I have lost it and found it dozens of times. I'm 59 now, and still have it
You may have convinced me. I’m a plumber and for the last several years I carried a Milwaukee folding razor knife. The advantage was I could just changed the blade when it would get dull. However there’s other situations where I preferred a pocket knife. I decided to get a good but reasonably priced kershaw as a work knife. Then I just started carrying only it but the issue is I have to sharpening it at least once a week, sometimes more. With a 2 bladed old timer or something like that, I could have a sharp blade and a trash blade
I always appreciate a good old fashioned backlock folder, because I can trust that they won’t snap shut while under heavy use and chop my fingers off
A small fixed blade neck knife solves the worry of a weak pivot point & chopped fingers. ( Esee Izula)
That comment on them being stylish is so true. I work as a lineman and my pants always have mud, sweat, and rain water al over them. However, my Buck 110 is always on my waist and i have carried it on dates.
The older I get the more I appreciate solid simple folders with a classic look
Buck 110 was my edc for years. Great product
Literally looking at my traditional knife right now. One of the most useful tools I have
Well said, who needs a $500 jackknife. I still use the Schrade knife I bought 40 years. When I worked there(86-87), I bought every limited edition knife set and single piece.
Why is this the most wholesome and calming video I've seen in ages?

I have an old Sharp 800 Japanese stainless steel... it's not a huge brand, small but nice chunky weight, and I use it daily. Love clip and drop points. Thank you for this cool video!
When our Dad passed, as the hunter of the family I was handed down his knives, including a 2 blade Old Timer folder with really bad juju..it was the one he carried that my brother and I were handed with the mission of going out and cutting him a switch to use on us when we got caught f^cking up, with the stipulation that if it wasn't big enough, he would go and cut it..I learned early that as bad as a hickory switch was, weeping willow was the worst because it would wrap itself around you...I still have it and a stag handled 8" blade hunting knife these 25 years later, well maintained, cleaned, lubed, and razor sharp..the way I was taught.
I have many Buck knives , I even given them as gifts. My favorite is the Buck 110 model.
( like the one in this video. )
I've carried a traditional pocket knife since I was 13 years old, and I'm an old man now. I've always carried a Buck. My father and grandfather told me a man should always carry a knife. It's the most useful tool. Once, I was headed off to work. Made it about 10 miles down the road and realized I forgot my pocket knife. Yep, I turned around and went back home to get it. Luckily I wasn't late for work, but I wasn't going a day without it. I feel naked without it.
My parents gave me a buck knife folder for my 21st birthday. 34 years later I still have it and use it often.
Carried one all my life as my grandfather did.
I Customized my Buck 301s Handle to fit my hand better, while I was on the Carrier in the Navy! back in 76 or 77. JJ
I carry a Swiss army knife, pen knife, in my pocket for the last 40 years. has come in handy many many many times!
Great to see a video on classic folders! I have one that was my Grandfather's, one of my favorites.
I have been carrying a pocket knife since I was a kid running the creek bottoms in Illinois. I have a Buck 110 I gave to my Dad for Christmas in 1974 still in the original leather sheath. I remember I gave $10 for it at the Navy Exchange.
I have a Buck folder I got in 1978. Still as good as the first day I slipped it in my pocket.
