My Uncle did 3 tours in Vietnam, Late 60s to early 70s. He said He used his Buck 110 more than his Kabar. It is all he carried throughout his life. As he said: "Why would I change something that works and it's American!" There's plenty of American knife companies and all their stuff is made in China. Thanks for this no-nonsense video.
Buck 110. The serious Harley rider's knife. I've got two of 'em. My wife has a 112. My old 110 is in my tool box and my newer 110 is in the "knife drawer" on the dresser. Thinking about letting my SOG Elite take a break and going back to the 110 for a while.
I still have a Buck 110 I bought used in 1978 or so. It has the old type of steel that keeps a great edge but is a pain to sharpen. I've got a 2014 version that is easy to sharpen but dulls a little easier too. It is a better knife in my opinion. I also have the 120 Slim and a 110LT. All great chore/work knives. If used as intended they will all last a lifetime, even the new cheaper ones with the pressed in pivots. Great usable blade steel, all of them.
Absolutely fantastic video - I own Chris Reeve, Case and Buck… USA for me! Buck now gives us everything with the sport series, aluminum, Micarta, S30V and a pocket clip - love that knife but I love all of my 110’s!
Excellent presentation. You are correct about the impact of the design and how other companies made a "Buck Knife" version of their own - my first "Buck Knife" was an Uncle Henry which at the time was a little less expensive and its rounded edges felt better to my hand. Back then a "Buck Knife" on your belt was as much of a fashion statement as it was a useful tool. About 40 years later I saw a 110 at Cabelas for $38 which I think was about the same price it was in the late 1970s and I bought it, liked it so much I now have a passel of others in a wide variety of flavors, including a custom shop with Elk scales.
It was my first pocket knife I bought in 1972 for $25, now it's $60. Then I bought a new 73 Chevy Vega for $2177, new. That same car today would be $21,770, ten times more.
I had a standard 110 as a young man. I recently bought the pro version with s35 steel and micarta handle scales. Really a nice update on the classic that corrects the only weakness of the classic that being the weight. My new knife retains all the usefulness if my old knife and is light enough not to notice its there until I need it.
Nylon sheath & scout carry on the belt and you won't notice the weight even with the original brass version. I own about 12 of them and several of the different like versions. 🪖MMGA 🪖 🦉⚖️🦉
I own the trifecta of Buck clip point folders- the 110, the 112 Ranger, and the 55 which is a perfect pocket-dropper for the days I'm working in the office. All are outstanding knives from a great company.
I still carry a 110 every single day . I have every day since 1986 when my grandpa gave me my first .. real buck.. for my 10th birthday .. and I still have it . It's been retired but nonetheless.. I still carry a 110 .. newer model of course wbut same knife. When the put me in the ground my son can take it outta my sheath and give it to my grandkids . And that's a fact
True classic. Although i personally prefer more of drop point blade, but you cant really go wrong with Buck. The cheaper one would be great first knife for especially country kids i feel. Sturdy enough, and general farm or such work knife its awesome
Your right , not super steel but , it is a super knife . Where else can you get the blade replaced for free ? Bucks has the best lifetime guarantee in the knife industry no matter who owns it , all for under $60.00. 👍🇺🇸
They have them in magnacut, with the Paul Bos heat treat now. I picked one up, they only made a run of 1000. And sold out same day. It’s an awesome knife. Can’t believe you called before it happened. Hope you were able to get one. 👍
Just received my first 110 and straight out of the box i had to return it. Backspring not flush and protruding from the handle and knife not finished well. Straight from the box to the factory
Every 110 I bought had issues its to a point it's hilarious for two reasons 1. I seem to be the only one cursed 2. I'm still looking at them and wanting to give them another chance as if the last 5 haven't taught me a lesson Edit: how's the 110 lt holding up as of now?
Dude I'm ordering one sending it to you for sharpening then you can send it back to me or do a sharpening video on the 110 so I can do it myself let me know which one you want to do .
The standard buck 110 is not worth it's asking price at most places of $64. Even with the heat treat that steel is not very good. 440c should be the minimum. It's worth $40 tops. Its offensive to me to overcharge like that so the 110 I have will probably be my last buck if they don't adjust the price or materials on the standard buck knife models. Boomers will get butt hurt but it's the truth.far better traditional folders for cheaper that have better steel
Oh man, sorry to hear that. Maybe send it in. If the Steel is bad they'll slap a new blade in for you. All the 420hc I have from Buck has been pretty good.

Your uncle is a wise man!
Um amigo está trazendo um 110 pra mim aqui no Brasil era sonho de consumo.
Brass lockbacks have done more REAL WORK in history than EVERY 'modern folder' ever created.
I would not argue with that my friend!
💯
Agreed 💯

Sometimes the 110 is all you need!
If you don't have one of these in your collection then you don't even have a knife collection
Yup

Thanks David! I appreciate it.
I love Buck 110 Folding Hunter Knives , and the Buck brand in general especially because it's a great product and made in the good ole USA. 👍🎖️👍
Yes sir pp4real. That's pretty much where I'm at with Buck.

Thanks Kirby! It's a great knife for sure.

I like my 110 LT and my Uncle Henry LB7 clone. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great comment Wes!
I carry my Buck 110 on my belt whenever I am hunting or just tramping around the woods. I've been carrying one for more than 30 years.
Love the 110!
I got to get the Buck Sport version! I love these knives!

Great video to fall asleep to (:
Lol thanks Toni!
This Buck 110 is the standard folding pocket knife. I love Buck knives too!
You got that right!
@@CommonCentsOutdoorsman I currently own this model.
@@bladesandmore8833 Nice
The LT is a no-frills gem.
It is MD! Thanks for stopping by.
True classic. Although i personally prefer more of drop point blade, but you cant really go wrong with Buck. The cheaper one would be great first knife for especially country kids i feel. Sturdy enough, and general farm or such work knife its awesome
Thanks for watching Lalli!

Right on Chuck!
The new bucks are a 18-20° the pre 1985-86 are steeper at a 42-44° inclusive.
Imagine a Buck 110 in magnacut with the Paul Boss heat treat 😳
Crazy!
They have them in magnacut, with the Paul Bos heat treat now. I picked one up, they only made a run of 1000. And sold out same day. It’s an awesome knife. Can’t believe you called before it happened. Hope you were able to get one. 👍
This man has never owned a Spyderco Paramilitary 2
Sweet video! Where did you get your fire pit?
Thanks! It's the Redcamp wood stove, large from Amazon.
Just received my first 110 and straight out of the box i had to return it. Backspring not flush and protruding from the handle and knife not finished well. Straight from the box to the factory
Sorry about that. It's rare but sometimes one slips by Buck USA. Hope the next is perfect for you!
Is crap pure and simple
Every 110 I bought had issues its to a point it's hilarious for two reasons
1. I seem to be the only one cursed
2. I'm still looking at them and wanting to give them another chance as if the last 5 haven't taught me a lesson
Edit: how's the 110 lt holding up as of now?
Holding up great! You should send yours in to get fixed.
@@CommonCentsOutdoorsman
For a 20 dollar knife, unlikely, but glad to hear it!
Dude I'm ordering one sending it to you for sharpening then you can send it back to me or do a sharpening video on the 110 so I can do it myself let me know which one you want to do .
Dude if you order a Buck it will come to you razor sharp already!

no folding knife should be used to hard.

Ерунда этот ваш американский Buck 110 !
Ни для какой работы не годится и даже в коллекцию его не хочу .
Junk😂
