Excellent review. Like a '58 Cadillac, a '64 Strat, and a 1911 .45, the original 110 will always be the iconic American original. Real men carry it. ;-)
I ordered a Buck 119 online because I love survival knives, but due to it taking so long I bought a 110 today to hold me over. I think it's my new favorite. I don't know how I've gone 23 years in my life without a Buck knife. Thanks for a good review!
I gave my son my 110 I bought back in 72 or so. Used it near my whole career of 35 years. I retired it for 15 years and then one day I just gave him all my knives except a few. I now carry a 5 dollar Walmart folder that I actually like very much that I use daily. Everyone should own a 110 because I used it as a work knife. It never failed.
Yeah, but here the part thats so important, you now carry a 5 dollar pocket knife you like better. I also own a buck 110 and many others as well. Let's be honest here though, a buck 110 isn't the greatest folder in the world and they brake, rust , lose pins etc. I use 5 dollar Walmart knives because if I brake them I dint care. When I want strength, I also carry a full tang blade, which I use for bushcraft and other things that u know would snap it. Bucks are good for skinning and fishing, but beyond cutting, they brake and they definitely aren't as good as the one from the 70s today, not unless you pay over 100 for it, and then it isn't comparable to other folding 100 dollar knives. Sorry buck uses nostalgia to get sales. Yes they were great folders for the time they came out, but today we can get a knife that can be batoned , chop , and do all the rest for right around 70-100 dollars, buck I'd a memory knife, better left for show then carried.
@@beentheredonethat5908 yea, I think the key to any tool, yes, I consider a knife a tool, is to not abuse them. Anything can be broken if abused. My 5 buck knife will last me my whole life because I dont abuse it. My 110 lasted so long because I didnt abuse it. My other expensive and cheap knives all lasted and are still in near perfect shape is because I didnt abuse them. If one needs to abuse a knife and likely break it making it useless, get a better tool for the job.
Great video I have always loved my 110s got my first one in 1972 when I was in the Navy that knife went with me all over the world it has never failed me on anything i've used it on from fish, deer, moose, wood food and anything I needed to cut I still have that one today, I have since bought 6 more one each time they made a change up to the 50 yr. anniversary model I also picked up the first 110 buck light that had green nylon handles and now the new 110 light with black so I have 7 110s would like to get an auto and a s30v if i can find them .injoyed the video keep up the good work.
Lol, all these years of knife advances, new steels, designs, materials, lock types, philosophy and use and my 110 is far and away my most used folder for cleaning game/fish, I think the only knife I use more at all for field dressing is probably my Buck 102 because I don't have to worry about the pivot point maintenance. Strongly considering getting a 112 to see if the smaller size might do as well/better but I haven't quite made up my mind.
My favorite is the buck 110 the lochsa, it has thumbstuds, s30 steel, and a nice pocketclip. For light weight they made a titanium one too, long before all the others did( wich i also own).
Do they sharpen out well? It could also be that particular knife may have not had the best heat treat. Contact Buck and see if the forever warranty could be used for that.
Enjoyable and informative video, you have an enviable collection of Buck knife variations of the 110 as well as the original Hunter. I bought my first Buck 110 this week
Thank you for the video. Good review. I love my the Buck 100, it really is a legendary knife that everyone appreciates. I respect people who make such high quality knives. Buck 110 is in my collection (Ukraine). It's strange that some people buy replica Buck 110 from China, this is a bad idea, the Buck 110 should only be made in the USA, this is a guarantee of quality.
I have 4 or 5 Buck 110. They don't hold an edge very well. Back in the 70s as a teen I had the Buck 112. I think the 112 is a much better all around knife.Awesome video thanks for sharing.
@@bushcraftdevotions5851 The brass ends on a couple of my knives have something green on them. They have been in storage for a long time. I'm thinking about selling them and a few other buck knives I have. What are they worth? Can you tell me? Thanks
A big difference between the select and LT is that there is a metal spacer inside the select. This is preventing the Lock Back fail which I have face with the LT, I say that the select is better than LT
Great vid but I don't think that's ebony since its lighter and shows grain. Ebony scales are almost black and even finish. Yours looks like the Dynewood scales they used up to around 2019.
I got all three of those and the brass bolster original is my favorite, the slim is my least favorite but I like them all. I put thumb studs on my 110 that didn't have any out the box. ⚔️🍿⚔️🍿⚔️ Buck was my favorite, until I got hooked on Cold Steel ,but Buck is still very special to me and my collection and they stand by their products like no other manufacturers, especially if it's a American made Buck. 🎯🎯🎯
Buck 110 is a great knife I'm a buck knife collector and a bush crafter I prefer the 112 overall in a folder over the 110 over 50 year's has a hunter fisher man woods man the 112 out performing perfect carrying folder my perferd fix blade is the 120 general it does have a seven inch blade to long for some but knowing how to handle it again it's a perfect back wood's Man knife
You know I love my 110, however be careful with the 722 Spitfire, impossible to open one handed, to close it the locking bar catches, very exasperated. Got it for my birthday so couldn't check it out before it was bought.
How do you free up the blade release? I just bought a 110 for my son's 50th birthday gift. I opened it and had a terrible time getting the release to close it! ????
Crelicam is simply the name of the Legal Import company that imports Ebony from Africa. Typically for Musical instruments like Pianos or Guitars and such. Endangered Rare hardwoods were all banned in the early 1980s world wide. A Number of countrys such as India started growing their versions After the disaster in Brazil involving slave labor!
The single credible objection to the design of this knife is that it can "overclose", allowing the blade to contact the frame, rendering any edge you've applied to the blade wasted work. This design flaw is NOT trivial and is 60 years overdue in being addressed and corrected. Its "little brother" the 112, has the same flaw and needs the same update.
The 110 Slim is extremely uncomfortable in your hand. I understand what they were going for, and I appreciate the effort. But, in practice, it seriously lacks the comfort and ergonomics of the original 110. If you want a workhorse without the weight, the LT is the way to go.
I will tell you the story.... God so wanted the world to have'ith a folding knife of high quality.... so he be give'ith the world the 110. Praise the 110, for it is righteous to do so.
Not only is the 110 NOT the best knife ever made; it's not enen the best knife I own. I have a 40+ year old Gerber Sportsman that kicks the 110's ass in every way that matters. It's even prettier, for all that's worth.

Nice video. Just an FYI your 110 was made in 2016 and has dymondwood scales.

That's what we used to call "grandpa old pocket knife" It was a pretty one intimidating
I bought a 110 when I was a teenager... lent it to one of my kids for a scouting thing and he lost it in the woods. Broke my heart.
Ohhh mannn that is sad! Thanks for watching!

The 112 is absolutely like it’s „Great Brother“ , it‘s Great!
YOU are absolutely right! It‘s not a woodcarver … but a“Hunter EDC „ …. the best I ever had ! 👍 ( and PUMA „ELk Hunter „

I love my buck 110. I even carry mine in the black leather sheath like the duke boys.
Nice!!!
Assisted opening..a slight flick of the wrist helps with that
Great review I came from the Facebook page. I carry a buck 110 everyday for work get little chips on my edge every once in awhile

Good we video pall I have a buck 110112 Hunter and Lightweights Oll good
They are beautiful and durable knives for sure!
That first traditional 110 has the older composite fake wood scales. They're not ebony wood. Still a good looking knife though.
Added a thumb stud on my 110, really like having the bolt on thumb stud
That’s an idea! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Great ! But what‘s about a Buck 112 ? Just a Question ? 🤷
The first EDCfor a couple of generations.
Absolutely!
I carry a benchmade adamas folder and that weighs over 12 ounces and I do not notice the weight. But then I am 280 lbs so not a problem.

beautiful
Nice boat anchor.
Subbed, good video great knife, one of my favorites though I lean towards the 112.
I kind of wish the front had the little swoosh that the 112 has!
What year 110 is that?
Great video. Love my Buck knives
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Correction the 110 came out in 1964 not 63
Thanks for the catch!
Which would be better for a boy young teens 12-13 first folding knife 112 or 110? Or maybe theres a different one?
@@minnesota-hk1vp The 112 would be a great one to start with! The 110 is a beauty though! Thanks for watching!
Thank You! Have you ever custom a buck 110 or 112? If so what are your preferences? Thank You again love your videos you seem like a buck knife guy!
Feel like a good ol' boy with my 110,on my R.M.Williams belt (Black). New Zealand.
Отличное видео.У меня есть два 110 и один 112 .Они великолепны.
You can’t go wrong with them!
will it cut through a bolt like the old advertisement?
Ha Ha Ha!!!
They changed steels because it was really difficult to sharpen.
The buck 110 is the one that got killed by grizzly with true story
Are they all made in the U S A
Yes
Subbed! Happy Independence Day! #22aday!
Thanks. Sorry it took so long to reply!

Are these good for self defense purposes?
not really, as there is no guard to prevent your hand from slipping onto the blade if you stab someone.
@@psykikninja you’re better off slashing
and cutting, not stabbing in a self-defence situation.
@@psykikninja guards are overrated as long as you have a solid grip that won’t happen
Any knife could be if you know the characteristic of the knife itself. They aren't specifically made for it though.
