Buck knifes company did agreat job replenishing my 50 year old 110 it was a tool i careried on my belt as a maintenance welder and mechanic wore the blade down and bent the rocker arm through the years of work. I found on utube that buck had a lifetime warranty on buck knifes , 3-2023 i sent it in to buck and about 6-7 weeks later i got the knife back. They did a beautiful job new blade new rocker and clean and polish. I bought a new 110 at Wal-Mart while waiting for the old buck to come back , their is some different,the old brass-edges are more sharp, the new buck brass are more rounded the old has 3 pins in the handle where the new has 4 pins in the handle . Will i am retired and wore out might get to go hunting maybe fishing do some camping .
Thanks for a great video and thank you for respecting the history of the knife in your preservation of its wear and tear. I'm heading out to my trailer right now to dig out my dad's. It has a great story behind it: He was in his barracks in the army and was throwing it in to the wall repeatedly when he threw it in to an electrical wire... he said it shot out and stuck in to the wall next to his head. The blade has a large melted metal deformation from the electricity on the tip of it. Love the story behind it.
Very interesting video! Thanks! I especially appreciated you showing us the website where we could determine the history of our own 110s. I'm 68 years old now and I have to admit I didn't own a 110 back in the 70s when everyone else did, because I was a Schrade man in those days. But last year I finally did buy one, made in 2023. I will have to disagree with you that the new ones are not as good as the one in this video. Mine has the same genuine ebony scales and brass bolsters and everything else. But anyway, thanks again for a good video!
So sorry...if you wanted to maintain the integrity of the knife, that thumbstud would not be on it...secondly, I would have cleaned the blade till it really shined then sharpening would be the last thing I would do, then a final wipe...I would have restored all the brass to a shiny finish 1st..the mineral oil is fine, but I would would have cleaned & conditioned the wood with an appropriate old english type of product....then the sharpening, oiling & the final wipe...btw, the gentleman did not request it, but the sheath should also be cleaned & conditioned...😊
I have to disagree. He said that the knife wasn't his. It belongs to a friend and also mentioning that it happened to be a family heirloom. Meaning he didn't want to do too much to it because he wanted to preserve the history of his family and not the knife in particular. His friend also said that he wanted a thumb stud on it.... The way that you described is perfect if you find find one at an antique store. I'll definitely be doing some of the things you said though
@@jaredkennedy4910Well I would have….I would have….I would have…..I would have. 😂 You did a fine job preserving the aged integrity of this 110. And the thumb stud is a very useful addition as requested by the owner. All my 110s and 112s have them.
@@jaredkennedy4910 I based my comment on my own experience...they really look like jewels after cleaning...mine are my late father's '80-'81 110 & my own 112 '91...the vintage sheaths are quality leather & well-made...they need some TLC...different strokes for different folks, but a well-conditioned knife & sheath look really good...
I love Square edges on buck 110 knives. They are awesome. Very cool buck 110 cleanup and sharpening
Thank you for watching!
Good job on a classic

Wow! That’s the kind of character I love to hear about in an older knife. What a great story
It sure would be nice if the leather sheaths were made like they were back then
Some fine sandpaper is all you need. Any country boy can tell you that.

u need to get some flitz
I was really curious as to how you'd date that knife. Thanks for showing us how.
The best thing about the Buck 110 is that it led to the Buck 112.
😂 I’ve never handled a 112, been wanting to check one out though because I think I might like the size more
God just get 5000 grit paper it'll make that blade look fantastic seriously you Young folks crack me up quit making a mountain out of a mole hill
what a dumb comment
