Went looking for a Buck 110 Hunter (large frame) At the local gun/knife show last week and I found a beauty. This thing looks almost new.
Did some checking (went to the Buck web site)
gave them the markings on the base of the blade and got a response back that it was made between 1969-72.
35+ years old and I`m impressed. Blade,brass ends, everything in tip top shape. Somebody really took good care of it. My good fortune.
So the question is, any of you guys own a
Buck 110 and if so, what`s your take ?

Sounds like a great find. With some brands of knives older is definately better.

I have one from that same period. Great knife. Has been used and abused and still stays sharp with plenty of snap. Buy it if the price is right!

Did the handles on these.

Richj:
Nice work

Good score on your knife.

I own about ten or so 110's and 112's and they are my one of favorite knives. You might check out bladeforums as Buck has a sub forum there and all like minded folks and 110 experts post there.

Regards,

Big John aka Mod 12

It's not for sale. sorry

I have S30Vs, ATS34s and 154CMs, and all are great steels, yet my go to knife is a Buck 112 I bought in 1972 when I was in the Navy. I've sharpened at least 1/4" off the blade and still works great.

One of the better bargains in knifedom is Cabela's Alaskan Guide Series 110 with the S30V blade. Last time I looked they were about $65.00

Rich,
Did you do the conversion too?

I own serveral Buck 110 and 112's. Best working knife there is for the price especially the older ones.

It's a CMK conversion. I think they're out of the business. I did swapped the wood scales for Stag.

Bought a Buck Folding Hunter at the PX on Camp Pendleton in 1969. Went to Vietnam and back with it, and I've still got it. Great knife, I think I paid 12 bucks or so for it back then.

Had a 110 for about 30 years (bought others over the years). In 1981 two of us butchered an elk with two of them. All the knife you need.

Great knives. A bit old school in design and weight-but very solid working knives for the price. They go well with Savage 99s, 1911s and Model 12s. I used one for many years as my primary hunting knife. Finally learned a fixed blade is easier to keep clean after being inside big critters and a multi-tool is much more functional for the same weight.

I've had a 110 since I began hunting and it's still my only hunting knife.I would like to add a nice sheath knife but I just never seem to get around to it.

I have at least thirty of them.

i always kept one in my pocket as a kid.
unfortunately i lost it, and have had other edc knives, now there is a SOG flash 2 on the way in the mail.

i might get a 110 just because everybody should have one.

Yep, I've still got the same 110 I got as a grade schooler. Back then we could (and would) take'em to school

I just bought a 110. It had been sitting in
the dealers shelves for several years.
It is beautiful. I put it to the stone.
It is fantasic, but somewhat soft in the steel.
I think it is some sort of s.s., but not certain. The edge will last for a time. Maybe a deer, but no more. So nicely fitted and crafted. A real BUCK knife. Craftmanship only of American product. I just like looking at it anyway.
Yes, I have many Swedish, Finnish, German, and Norweigien blades. Most have steel that is the best, Sandvick and Fallkniven are the best when it comes to the steel, but this BUCK is so fine.
It is so well made. Eventhough the steel is a little soft, the blade will do the stuff you need to be done. Just get a good stone afterward to dress ér up again.
BUCK is actually the best of American Knives as long as they can avoid the shit from from COMMUNIST China. I refuse to buy any product made in COMMUNIST China.
I will buy stuff from any county that is democratic. Just my take.
