I had many of them and wore them out on drilling rigs, used them for everything, broken tips was common, break it, go buy nother one, repeat, it was truly roughneck tough..
My sister gave me mine Christmas of 1973. She had my first name stamped into the belt sheath and I still have it today. Like you I had to have a guy at a hardware store sharpen it. Cost me $5.00 each year before deer season in Tennessee. Well spent money. That guy knew what he was doing and it skinned many deer and hogs and not just mine. I used it for everything. Now it sits in my collection. Today I carry a fixed blade. Usually a Condor.
they become part of us. In time its just a tool...but as time passes and the adventures mount up it takes on a name of its own and becomes old friend. Till we retire it because there are too many memories in the knife too much woodsmoke on the blade and we don't want to part with it.. if we are blessed we get to pass it onto another young woodman
My grandpa was a true outdoorsman. He unfortunately passes too soon for me to really soak up all his knowledge. Watching you takes me back to those memories and I always learn something new from you. Stay safe sir wishing you good health.
The Buck 110 is a great knife. I still carry one every day. I tried the lighter weigh Buck bantam for awhile as well as some other essentially plastic handled knives. I even tried some aluminum ones. But I found that when you use them the bolsters loosen up and the blade gets loose. I thought the light weight newer designed knives were an upgrade to the old buck 110. But now I know better. I'm sure there are some other good knives out there but for me the Buck 110 is the one I can depend on to do what I need it to do without fail. I carried one at school back in the 80's and then in the Navy on 2 Western Pacific Cruise's. I gave that old Buck 110 to my son (around 2006 ) and got a new one for myself. After another 15 years of duty my son & I are sending the old 110 back to Buck for a Spa service and a new blade. The blade is still in good shape but is really worn down from repeated sharpening over years of faithful service. The Buck 110 if not seriously abused is a lifetime knife suitable for passing down to the next generation. It has proven itself over many years to be reliable and of high quality. Let me know in 50 years which of todays whiz bang designer knives can say the same.
My Pops gave me a Buck 110 when I was 10 years old in 1974. That knife was my food prep knife, woods knife, work knife, fishing knife, hunting knife and just about whatever knife I needed it to be. It disappeared or got stolen when I turned 18. I'm 57 now and been thinking of picking one up in 5160 blade steel. I have many other knives, but never did so many things with one knife, like I did with my Buck 110. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
I’ve own a few bucks in my earlier years and stopped carrying them because at the time wanted the flick or fancy looking knives. Now as I get older I realise the charm and history these knives demand. When I go camping this knife comes with me and all my other knives just don’t feel the same.
Brought back so many memories with the shotguns and rifles in pickups and cars at school. I always carried a pocket knife and still do today. Back in the day I never had money for a buck so I bought the cheaper Pakistani and Chinese copies of the buck 110. Everyone used their knives for whittling, hammering,skinning, and anything else you could use it for.
man, I really love the little stories around this knife your have told, the one knife which was copied by so many, that is some great history you shared. really really enjoyed your video, it was like listing to an old friend, cheers from Germany and many thanks
Boy did this bring back memories!` Shows our age. Had a 110 and a rifle on the rifle rack on the truck. That was the knife to have in the day. Guess what I'm buying in the next couple of days? Thanks for bringing back great memories! Takr care get better c and stay safe
The Buck 110 is THE American folding knife in my opinion. Such an icon. Not the newest or most efficient design today, but I still see a good number of older blue collar guys out there with Bucks on their hip and gettin’ er done!
Hope you're better quick. My wife found a 110 on a tank trail at Ft Knox (we meet in the Army). It had been ran over by a tank. Pried the liners apart so it would close again and it has been a workhorse for me for over 20 years.
Awesome talk Blackie, throughly enjoyed it. Back in the day everyone carried a knife. I remember the Buck 110s were everywhere, I couldn’t afford one, I carried a Camils US stainless steel survival knife. I’ve since purchased a 110, what a beauty and work of art. In fact I’m going to go grab it and fondle it for awhile 😄
Been carrying one for years. Retired it a while back and now carry the 110 slim. Best folder ever made. Slim not as tough as regular 110 but a lot lighter.
Absolutely fantastic! Brought back many memories! I am a teacher and so many common things that we did are completely unknown to this generation. Sharpening the Buck was always my nemesis. Loved it...Get well soon!!!
Prayers up for your quick recovery. My 110 experience echoes yours. My first encounter with the 110 was in the early 70's and I wanted one from that moment on. They were seemingly ubiquitous on the belts of every outdoorsman I knew. As I recall they were *expensive,* $30+. That was pretty much a month+ of paperboy wages back then. As the decade progressed all the knife makers made a version of the Buck 110. It wasn't until 1978 when I was working summers in a fish plant in Alaska that I bought a "Buck Knife" and it wasn't a Buck, it was an Uncle Henry... we called everything a "Buck Knife" back then if it came with a belt pouch and locked open. Didn't get a real 110 for decades until I saw one at Cabelas and it was under $40 which seemed like a bargain at the time - and still does. I've bought a bunch since with upgraded steels, clip and drop point variations, G10 & Micarta scales and a few months back I treated myself to a custom shop, nickle silver bolsters, S30V blade, Elk Scales... Great knives. Techniques like riding the blade with your thumb or index finger on the blade may be a lost art and why the clip point seems to have fallen out of favor. Few would even think to try the false edge for anything. Once those techniques are learned I would bet most would abandon their 1/4" thick scandi grind drop points when a KNIFE is needed.
I always loved the Buck 110, but as a kid in the 70's, I carried a Schrade LB 7 Bear Paw. I t was close to the same but back then the buck had sharp corners on the handle and the Schrade was rounded, like the Buck is now, the Schrade also had a different steel that to me held an edge just as good but was a little easier to sharpen. I can remember carrying it in my back pocket just like you were talking about with a 3 blade stockman in the front pocket. Every boy carried them like that. The Buck 110, or in my case the Schrade LB7, was used for heavier, harder cutting hand beating and the stockman was used for finer detailed cutting and whittling. Over the years, I have used a lot of Buck 110 and copycats and always felt the only one that came close to the Buck was the Schrade with was the Buck equal but I loved them both.
Hey Blackie, I hope that you feel better soon! If there is one knife that deserves a 16-minutes video, it is the Buck 110. Its a must have in anyone's collection, and it is an incredible knife for hard use. I really enjoyed that you took the opportunity to share your stories, instead of just giving a regular review of the knife. Thank you for sharing your stories, and stay safe out there!
Blackie... Get well quick sir! I've been carrying a 110 in my kit or person for decades. Got my first one in the mid 70's and it's a great American knife that continues to be a real workhorse. Enjoy you sharing your knowledge with us and hope you get feeling better asap.. 🙏🏻👍🏻😎
IThanks for sharing your experiences, The step was much better in my book back in the day. In the 70's I was buying Schrade and Case carbon steel pocket knives which were great for woodcarving. Lost them all, then I figured I would get a pouch for the next one, that was Schrade in stainless steel, haven't lost it since 1979! In the late 60's a buddy had a Puma similar to the Buck 110. He worked in a German Deli. Mostly use he knife to cut cheese when we were drinking beer. Always wanted a Puma or the Buck 110, never had the dough. Didn't get a Buck 110 until about 2006, my twins boys also bought them. Discovered they sucked at gutting deer and only carry occasionally.
@@lewisward4359 Hi,I used to have an old USA made Shrader with gut hook used to open the gut or belly of the animal.I think it got stolen because one day it's no longer where I hang it in my tack room.
@@enriqueoliva6988 my boys were very good at field dressing. I was fortunate myself, I worked on a hog (sheep and goats) farm for about 6 months in the early 70's and assisted in the butchering on Saturdays and Sundays.
I just bought a Buck Auto Elite Model 110. This is my favorite work knife; it may be a slow auto compared to the other switchblades. But IMHO, the weight and feel of this knife, you know you have a knife in your hand. And I still have my original 110 from the 70's . Love my Buck 110 knives.
What a cool video, Blackie! This was my first hunting knife, back in 1974! Still have it! Great video. Brings back lots of good memories! I hope you feel better real soon.
Brings back memories from the late 70’s when we too would keep them in our right back pocket in school. The only time I would use the leather sheath was when I was working on scout service projects or in uniform. Good tips on keeping it sharp. I’ll have to try that as I could never get it sharp like I wanted to.
Yep, mirrors my experience! I have buck 110 on my belt know, had it and carried it for 40 years know. It's my second, the first I lost somewhere in Germany while in the army in 82 during field exercises. Promptly went to the AFEEs and replaced it.
When I worked in a under ground mine the Buck 110 was standard carry. Very difficult to sharpen but worth it. Thank you for sharing Blackie and take care.
I have the same knife and take it with me every time I go deer hunting, squirrel hunting, turkey hunting, etc. When I got mine, I got one for my son and a friend of mine removed the wood handles and replaced both of them with a black and white pearl type handle. He did such a good job it looks like it came from buck that way. Then I made matching leather sheaths for our knives. They are tan/brown and already showing age. Stamped in our initials and some other tooling (I do some leather crafting). The Buck 110 is an all around work horse of knives. Thanks for sharing your video and hope you get to feeling your old self soon. Juddie - J & J TOA
I was lucky enough to have one with the 440 steel, never had a problem sharpening it because my father had a carborundum stone (159 grit). I wore a lot of steel of that blade keeping it like a razor.
I had one of these in damascus and stag, some years ago, received it as a gift. I have quite slim fingers, so I was opening it easily with one hand. It was stolen from me when I was living in a flat with few others "colleagues"... now I carry a plain victorinox ranger, useful, but with less cool factor.
Your video brought back memories. A long time ago when I was 17 years old I started working at a block/brick yard as a yardman making minimum wage. I needed a reliable knife and the Buck 110 was the ticket. It took six months or more to save up enough money to finally buy a buck 110. And your right. Carried it in my back right pocket just the way you described. Putting an edge on it was a bear. But ....... working at a block/brick yard we also sold landscaping stone. And we also had a block saw. So I took some chocolate flagstone to the block saw and cut my own whetstone. It sharpened that Buck 110 better than any other store bought whetstone or diamond stone I ever tried. It put a razor sharp polished convex edge on the knife. Lost that knife somewhere along the line. But a few years ago I found the same year Buck 110 on ebay I had when I was 17 and bought it. Now all the world is right again. And yes. I also worked the blade with oil to loosen it up to work it one handed exactly as you described. The only thing I need now is some chocolate flagstone and access to a block saw.
Blackie , Great Video and Outstanding Information I appreciate the trip down memory trail . Being the Class of '79 , yes the gun rack in the back glass of pick up trucks and trading guns in the parking lot at school . You are right we had fist fights . My dad had a dark green sharping stone ,he was Korean war veteran he told me this is what they used to put a edge on bayonets ,it was a very hard stone . The knives back in high school was Case Sod Buster , Stockman , Buck 110 , Old Timer 125 OT lock back , Old Timer 25 OT folding large hunter . I'm 60 years old and I would like to know how old you are . If you need some of Great Uncle Lynn finest ,it has to be put in glass because it will eat plastic . Praying for a quick recovery . You Are The Master Woodsman and Buschcrafter Thanks Again. Tim L.
I have one of the new models made of carbon steel. I sanded it down, blued it, and use it as my EDC pocket knife. Great tool. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
Thanks for the history! I have caried one of those knifes for longer than I can remember. I use it for everything from a door stop and hammer, to even cutting things. It is such a part of my daily life, and I am so comfortable with it, that I once even used it to eat Ice cream with that I bought from a store while I was out on a bike ride. I use them so much that I wear them down to the point that they won't even stay closed all the way. By then I figure that I got more than my money's worth out of them and buy a new one. ;-}} Take care and make sure that you take 5k vitamin D3 every day!
I've had a couple of 110's in my life, bought the last one in the late 80's from a down and out vet who needed some dough. I kept it for him just in case, but he never came back for it. It was a very early model that he'd carried in the service. Same thing happened to it that happened to the first one I had; somebody decided they needed it more than I did and that 110 found itself stolen. I still had my dad's old Case folding hunter, a much better game skinner anyways, so I left things as they were. Well here I am 20 some years later and decided I needed that 110 back in the collection. Found a really tarnished one on FeeBay and sniped it, won by just a few cents. Got it home, polished it up with some ancient silver polish, whipped out my Spyderco Sharpmaker and made this latest, my 3rd Buck 110, as sharp as when it left the factory; not bad for a 10 year old, well carried, second hand, EDC knife. Why buy used? Well I'm blessed with an eye for detail, and the photos of this knife told a story, and in that story the one detail I was looking for was present, the blade was still in the original length, no chipping, bad sharpening, or tip loss; SOLD. You really can't do better than a Buck 110 for a travel companion, well, unless you live in place run by jerks where you have a three inch limit to blades that are concealed. I just ordered my first Buck 112. Going forward that and my Olight i5R will be part of my EDC pocket carry. Be well Blackie.
Excellent review of the classic Buck 110 knife. I have carried one for many years and won't be without one! I also am very partial to the Buck 119 Special sheath knife. Both are excellent woodsman cutting tools. By the way, Buck still offers the factory upgrades you mentioned.
Back around 1983 I purchased a double bladed Uncle Henry. It was used to skin every thing I harvested. Even then, I was amazed at the quality of not just the knife but the sheath which is thick leather. Now that I have seen your video I am reminded that a lot of effort was put into keeping it sharp. Time to dig her out and see if it would be easier with the sharpening devices I have acquired since it was used.
I love your videos. Thank you for this walk down memory lane. Now I have to dig in my knife drawer pull out my 110 do a little TLC on her. Feel better so.
Blackie, I’m 73 and still have my knife. I use it from time to time out in the garden! I remember in high school I gave a report on bird hunting and brought my shotgun in school. Talked about different loads for different birds. Those were the day!! Lol!
Funny, I’m a old guy (63). I’m setting here cleaning my 110 when this video came up. The 110 has many memories for me. The only negative is the weight. Hope you keep get feeling better.
I work in a deli and I carry a 110 auto, I love this knife, I got medium hands but whatever this is the knife nothing feels wrong with the 110 especially the automatic, every time I whip this out people are like “no! Wait I want to cut this!” Great video, hey you shared some oldies tips like the oil lube to pinch open and choking to protect the tip and yea never punch lol, hey if you want share some Buck 110 tips n tricks I’d watch it so I don’t mess up my two hundred dollar knife
Nice Blackie, I ordered one of those Buck 110 about one week ago, with some points I earned from work so getting it free really:) Always seen those knives too, but never had my own, but I'm expecting mine any day now. I love collecting knives and figured heck you got to have a Buck 110 Folding Hunter in a real American knife collection:)
I saw my first Buck 110 back in early seventies. It was in a surplus store where vets were hocking them. I could not afford till I was in the Navy. Three months after I bought it, someone stole it. So I had to buy another one. I really like it but now days I do not like the weight on my belt. I still have a few laying around.
I bought my father a buck 101 and his birthday his the 12th of July. I feel like he will enjoy this but he is a man who works with red cross and I hope he finds this as a helpful tool. Thank you for telling a young buck like me (pun intended) a little more about this knife. I hope to one day go hunting with him and see him pull this knife out
I'm 60 years old, and you bought back the day. Thanks for this video, great information. Yes you are right, very popular in the 70s. Everyone carried a Buck 110. Bo and Luke Duke also carried this knife in The Dukes Of Hazzard.
I pray you get well soon Blackie, I really enjoy your videos, I still have my Buck 110 that my Dad bought me in 1977 for my birthday and yes it was used just as you said, for everything. Thanks Blackie for bringing back some wonderful memories.
I got my first Buck 110 for Christmas in 1975 when I was 12 years old..I used to wear it on my belt to school and sharpen my pencil with it! Now days you would be thrown out of school and probably need your parents to pick up up from the police station!
Like Kenton Hammond I too have carried this beast since the very early 70's but after having broken the tip off many of these knives I have retired them. I regret having to do that but when the last tip broke off just month's after replacing it, I gave up. I love how the knife feels in my hand and I miss it daily. But I just can't justify carrying one that always breaks on me
The 110 is a beauty. Get well Blackie. Best to you. I just finished my time with rona crud. Keep your immune system in shape as best you can. The virus can't live longer than 10 days in the body, so hang in there and take some naps! ;)
I have Buck 110 that was given to me by the company I worked for in 1976, they had the company name engraved on bottom bolster and my name on the opposite side.... I feel a little guilty as I was one of those people who used and abused that knife, I beat it up something ugly!!! I still have it and have been considering sending back to Buck and having them do a 'Spa treatment' on it where they'll replace a worn or broken blade and polish it up and make it look 'pretty' again. But I kinda like it the way it is, the worn blade and all the scratches and dings in the wooden handles and brass give it a sense of 'character' and I can remember what I was doing when I put another 'ding' in my knife.....Yeah it's not so 'pretty' anymore but it's still just as functional now as it was the day it was made!!! I've 'retired' the knife and it sits in my gun safe and I take it out every now and then and sharpen it which is a chore as it has the 'hard' steel you talked about. I have four other 110's a couple that were gifts and two that I bought, I even have a 112 that I carry from time to time, but they have never had to endure the punishment I put on that first one.... But yes sir, they do make a hell of a 'work' knife!!!
I worked for La Mesa RV in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the mid 1970s when I was 17. They would ocassionally fly me to San Diego, CA to pick up an RV. I wore a Buck 110 in a leather sheath every time and nobody even raised an eyebrow. It was so common it was virtually unnoticeable.
Fantastic Video I just happened upon. I'm 56yrs.old and now that I think about it (because I wasn't really INTO knives as a teen) that was my first lock back knife. Don't know if I bought it or if my Dad gave it to me or picked one up at a party. But I know I was guilty for using it as a hammer because I remember it pulling apart at the top. Funny though I managed to just pull it apart completely by hand and kept the steel. My....I must have managed to keep it maybe 6-8 yrs. before chucking it. Thanks for taking me back in time. Very nice. Glad you are feeling better, new subscriber.👍
In the late 70's I saved my summer odd job money and my dad took me Southern Outdoor Sports in downtown Dothan so that I could buy a Buck 110. I carried that knife everywhere I went. I still carry one a lot, especially when I am out in the woods
Thank you Blackie for the Buck 110 review and i just purchased one. And like it alot. You're a very humble man. And Subsribed to your channel. Like your videos. Very formative and enjoyable.
Blackie, we hope that you get to feeling much better very soon.i greatly appreciate you doing the video on one of my favorite knives that I have owned, the Buck 110 Folding Hunter. I now have a couple of the Buck 110s. One is an everyday carry belt knife. The other is the 50th Anniversary special edition knife that I do not carry. The Buck 110 is made of great steel with a fantastic heat treatment. It fits almost every situation and you can depend on it in getting the job done. Great knife made here in the United States by a family owned American company. Thanks for sharing your insight on this legend. - Tennessee Smoky
Glad you are feeling better Blackie. When I can't get one of my knifes sharp a guy in town can and charges $5. Back in the day the Buck 110 was the knife to have.
the rites of passage for a young man the first time you were asked to guard something / the first time you were trusted with a pocket knife / the first time you were trusted to build the campfire // to fish alone or hunt alone camp alone
In the 70s I worked for the US Forest Service and everyone of us had one in a leather case on our belt. It was an expensive knife at the time, my girlfriend bought it for me as a birthday gift. I still have it.
I have two 110s with black sheaths. I found a guy on ebay, from North Carolina I think, that makes leather sheaths for Buck 110 sized folders and picked up two of his "seconds" for around $5 each. I honestly can't tell why they are "seconds". They do have stitched on belt loops and the stitching has loosened up over time. Eventually I'll either have to sew them back on or reinforce them with my speedy stitcher or just make slits in the back of the sheath itself to act as a belt loop. I carry either a Spyderco Para 3 or a Benchmade Minigriptilian in my pocket but keep a 110 in my jeep to throw on my belt when we go hiking in the desert. That 110 can take a lot more abuse than the Para 3 or the Minigrip.
Bought the Buck Folding Hunter in late '67 before going to Nam. It wasn't called the 110 then and has no number stamp on the blade. Flat pin heads also. Carried and used so many years the blade is thin and have repaired the sheath. I retired it some years ago. Not long ago I got the 110 Lite and carry only occasionally. Also was gifted a Kline Tools miniature 110 clone that I use when in dress clothes.
When I got my first 110 my grandfather who taught me everything I will ever need to know about hand honing and sharpening was an electrician at a textile plant and had access to many different sharpening stones and rods. He introduced me to high grade high hardness ceramic and it has polished more edges on a Buck knife than I can count. Unless you order some suersteel from the Buck Custom shop, a Spyderco TSM or bench stone set in brown and white is all you will ever need. For nicks nowadays I also carry a DMT RED Tri fold serrated sharpener. Big rat tail hone that will adjust anything except a super fine serration. Also unbelievably handy is the filament out of a bulb from a large street light. You must VERY carefully break the bulb and remove the metallic cage around it. Very hard ceramic but lasts decades. Yes in the early 90s they changed the steel, so I switched to Cold Steel in high carbon because of a drop in quality... But there seems to have been a turnaround...especially when ordering from the custom shop. All in the heat treat . Thanks again Blackie
Ohh yes the memories of the good old 70s being a country boy. Yep my 22mag rode in the gun rack anytime from school to the woods. The Buck 110 is a fine knife still have it today. But a bear to keep sharp unless you have a diamond stone or a fancy belt sharpnerr.. Get well soon there Blackie 🇺🇸👍
my 1st cash earned as a 10 yr old in 75 I paid $36 and Caried my buck 110 for 30 yrs truck driving and construction and 4 sheaths, till it got replaced with a Fellhoelter! Plan on handing off to my grandkids some day!
Enjoyed hearing you speak on your experiences and share your knowledge. I always enjoy listening to the wisdom of of the older generation and learn from them.
Me and my wife drive over the road we had covid . Just a few weeks ago spent six days in a truck stop on a twin size bed . My wife felt good enough to get me to a hospital I had pneumonia it was bad we were down in Washington state for 2 weeks . That delta variant is rough.
Bikers carried 112s. Sand the slab down so the thumb pushed the blade at a lower angle . Open almost as fast as an auto. A guy wanted to trade me an Italian auto for my Buck . I would not even consider it . Still have several 110s and 112s .👍👍👍👍👍👍
Back in the day I really wanted one of those so bad but they seemed so expensive and then this year as a 72 yr old man i was visiting my son in Spokane Washington and found out the Buck knife factory was real close it was Thanksgiving and they hold a big sale every year my son and I decided to go. Long story short I kick myself because I finally had an opportunity to buy one at a substantial discount and finally could afford it and didn't. Instead I bought a beautiful Buck sheath knife
They still have a customization option on their website. You can make a very expensive knife. They have gotten so expensive for even the base model times are very scary.
Buck still has a custom shop and does custom 110 they also have a drop point 110 which I prefer to the original. I also carried a 110 in high school along with every cop, emt and fireman that I knew.
I really enjoyed this video. I've had 3 buck 110s . I've got 2 now because I gave one to my son . I love the heritage of buck knives. I hope you feel better soon brother. I will definitely be praying for you.
the Buck 110 is CLASSIC KNIFE OF THE WOODSMAN
Been carrying one on my belt since 1971, I'm 68 now & I still carry one today. This knife changed the knife world. Never let me down !!
i have seen them in church lol where everyone stood up to sing and most of the guys had one on the belt
I had many of them and wore them out on drilling rigs, used them for everything, broken tips was common, break it, go buy nother one, repeat, it was truly roughneck tough..
My sister gave me mine Christmas of 1973. She had my first name stamped into the belt sheath and I still have it today. Like you I had to have a guy at a hardware store sharpen it. Cost me $5.00 each year before deer season in Tennessee. Well spent money. That guy knew what he was doing and it skinned many deer and hogs and not just mine. I used it for everything. Now it sits in my collection. Today I carry a fixed blade. Usually a Condor.
they become part of us. In time its just a tool...but as time passes and the adventures mount up it takes on a name of its own and becomes old friend. Till we retire it because there are too many memories in the knife too much woodsmoke on the blade and we don't want to part with it.. if we are blessed we get to pass it onto another young woodman
I could always tell which guys were outdoorsmen by how sharp their Buck 110 was. A few fellars could no longer cut string. 😂
Speedy recovery!
I used to drive to school with a rifle in the back window. I grew up with buck lockbacks too. I still have a couple
My grandpa was a true outdoorsman. He unfortunately passes too soon for me to really soak up all his knowledge. Watching you takes me back to those memories and I always learn something new from you. Stay safe sir wishing you good health.
i try to pass on as much as i can how i wish i could have just one day with the old men i knew in my youth now i would be able to ask worthy questions
The Buck 110 is a great knife. I still carry one every day. I tried the lighter weigh Buck bantam for awhile as well as some other essentially plastic handled knives. I even tried some aluminum ones. But I found that when you use them the bolsters loosen up and the blade gets loose. I thought the light weight newer designed knives were an upgrade to the old buck 110. But now I know better. I'm sure there are some other good knives out there but for me the Buck 110 is the one I can depend on to do what I need it to do without fail. I carried one at school back in the 80's and then in the Navy on 2 Western Pacific Cruise's. I gave that old Buck 110 to my son (around 2006 ) and got a new one for myself. After another 15 years of duty my son & I are sending the old 110 back to Buck for a Spa service and a new blade. The blade is still in good shape but is really worn down from repeated sharpening over years of faithful service. The Buck 110 if not seriously abused is a lifetime knife suitable for passing down to the next generation. It has proven itself over many years to be reliable and of high quality. Let me know in 50 years which of todays whiz bang designer knives can say the same.
i agree very few of the tacta cool knives will stand the test of time
My Pops gave me a Buck 110 when I was 10 years old in 1974. That knife was my food prep knife, woods knife, work knife, fishing knife, hunting knife and just about whatever knife I needed it to be.
It disappeared or got stolen when I turned 18. I'm 57 now and been thinking of picking one up in 5160 blade steel. I have many other knives, but never did so many things with one knife, like I did with my Buck 110. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
I’ve own a few bucks in my earlier years and stopped carrying them because at the time wanted the flick or fancy looking knives. Now as I get older I realise the charm and history these knives demand. When I go camping this knife comes with me and all my other knives just don’t feel the same.
Brought back so many memories with the shotguns and rifles in pickups and cars at school. I always carried a pocket knife and still do today. Back in the day I never had money for a buck so I bought the cheaper Pakistani and Chinese copies of the buck 110. Everyone used their knives for whittling, hammering,skinning, and anything else you could use it for.
Finally got my buck and still have them all even the broken blades. Thanks again for some great memories.
Cool to see someone else who has fond memories with this knife. I recently did a vid on this knife too. Love it.
man, I really love the little stories around this knife your have told, the one knife which was copied by so many, that is some great history you shared. really really enjoyed your video, it was like listing to an old friend, cheers from Germany and many thanks
Boy did this bring back memories!` Shows our age. Had a 110 and a rifle on the rifle rack on the truck. That was the knife to have in the day. Guess what I'm buying in the next couple of days? Thanks for bringing back great memories! Takr care get better c and stay safe
The Buck 110 is THE American folding knife in my opinion. Such an icon. Not the newest or most efficient design today, but I still see a good number of older blue collar guys out there with Bucks on their hip and gettin’ er done!
Hope you're better quick. My wife found a 110 on a tank trail at Ft Knox (we meet in the Army). It had been ran over by a tank. Pried the liners apart so it would close again and it has been a workhorse for me for over 20 years.
Awesome talk Blackie, throughly enjoyed it. Back in the day everyone carried a knife. I remember the Buck 110s were everywhere, I couldn’t afford one, I carried a Camils US stainless steel survival knife.
I’ve since purchased a 110, what a beauty and work of art. In fact I’m going to go grab it and fondle it for awhile 😄
Started carrying mine since 1980.
Been carrying one for years. Retired it a while back and now carry the 110 slim. Best folder ever made. Slim not as tough as regular 110 but a lot lighter.
they are tough knives for a fact thanks for watching
Absolutely fantastic! Brought back many memories! I am a teacher and so many common things that we did are completely unknown to this generation. Sharpening the Buck was always my nemesis. Loved it...Get well soon!!!
thanks for watching
I finally got mine sharp!
Prayers up for your quick recovery. My 110 experience echoes yours. My first encounter with the 110 was in the early 70's and I wanted one from that moment on. They were seemingly ubiquitous on the belts of every outdoorsman I knew. As I recall they were *expensive,* $30+. That was pretty much a month+ of paperboy wages back then. As the decade progressed all the knife makers made a version of the Buck 110. It wasn't until 1978 when I was working summers in a fish plant in Alaska that I bought a "Buck Knife" and it wasn't a Buck, it was an Uncle Henry... we called everything a "Buck Knife" back then if it came with a belt pouch and locked open. Didn't get a real 110 for decades until I saw one at Cabelas and it was under $40 which seemed like a bargain at the time - and still does. I've bought a bunch since with upgraded steels, clip and drop point variations, G10 & Micarta scales and a few months back I treated myself to a custom shop, nickle silver bolsters, S30V blade, Elk Scales... Great knives.
Techniques like riding the blade with your thumb or index finger on the blade may be a lost art and why the clip point seems to have fallen out of favor. Few would even think to try the false edge for anything. Once those techniques are learned I would bet most would abandon their 1/4" thick scandi grind drop points when a KNIFE is needed.
they were not cheap in those days to us working boys.. but often santa brought us one
An Expert I See.
Congrats!!
I always loved the Buck 110, but as a kid in the 70's, I carried a Schrade LB 7 Bear Paw. I t was close to the same but back then the buck had sharp corners on the handle and the Schrade was rounded, like the Buck is now, the Schrade also had a different steel that to me held an edge just as good but was a little easier to sharpen. I can remember carrying it in my back pocket just like you were talking about with a 3 blade stockman in the front pocket. Every boy carried them like that. The Buck 110, or in my case the Schrade LB7, was used for heavier, harder cutting hand beating and the stockman was used for finer detailed cutting and whittling. Over the years, I have used a lot of Buck 110 and copycats and always felt the only one that came close to the Buck was the Schrade with was the Buck equal but I loved them both.
Hey Blackie, I hope that you feel better soon! If there is one knife that deserves a 16-minutes video, it is the Buck 110. Its a must have in anyone's collection, and it is an incredible knife for hard use. I really enjoyed that you took the opportunity to share your stories, instead of just giving a regular review of the knife. Thank you for sharing your stories, and stay safe out there!
my pleasure
Blackie... Get well quick sir! I've been carrying a 110 in my kit or person for decades. Got my first one in the mid 70's and it's a great American knife that continues to be a real workhorse. Enjoy you sharing your knowledge with us and hope you get feeling better asap.. 🙏🏻👍🏻😎
IThanks for sharing your experiences, The step was much better in my book back in the day. In the 70's I was buying Schrade and Case carbon steel pocket knives which were great for woodcarving. Lost them all, then I figured I would get a pouch for the next one, that was Schrade in stainless steel, haven't lost it since 1979! In the late 60's a buddy had a Puma similar to the Buck 110. He worked in a German Deli. Mostly use he knife to cut cheese when we were drinking beer. Always wanted a Puma or the Buck 110, never had the dough. Didn't get a Buck 110 until about 2006, my twins boys also bought them. Discovered they sucked at gutting deer and only carry occasionally.
Lewis,who sucked at gutting deer,your boys or the knife?
@@enriqueoliva6988 The Buck 110. Just because many hunters used it, doesn't mean it's a good knife. Perhaps heavy marketing and poor decision making.
@@lewisward4359 Hi,I used to have an old USA made Shrader with gut hook used to open the gut or belly of the animal.I think it got stolen because one day it's no longer where I hang it in my tack room.
@@enriqueoliva6988 Bummer.
@@enriqueoliva6988 my boys were very good at field dressing. I was fortunate myself, I worked on a hog (sheep and goats) farm for about 6 months in the early 70's and assisted in the butchering on Saturdays and Sundays.
I just bought a Buck Auto Elite Model 110. This is my favorite work knife; it may be a slow auto compared to the other switchblades. But IMHO, the weight and feel of this knife, you know you have a knife in your hand. And I still have my original 110 from the 70's . Love my Buck 110 knives.
Great knife still today, an all time great!
What a cool video, Blackie! This was my first hunting knife, back in 1974! Still have it! Great video. Brings back lots of good memories! I hope you feel better real soon.
Brings back memories from the late 70’s when we too would keep them in our right back pocket in school. The only time I would use the leather sheath was when I was working on scout service projects or in uniform. Good tips on keeping it sharp. I’ll have to try that as I could never get it sharp like I wanted to.
I wish I remembered how I got mine. I know it didn't have a sheath though.
@@MrPocketfullOfSteel They all come with sheath when you buy them new from the store.
Yep, mirrors my experience! I have buck 110 on my belt know, had it and carried it for 40 years know. It's my second, the first I lost somewhere in Germany while in the army in 82 during field exercises. Promptly went to the AFEEs and replaced it.
When I worked in a under ground mine the Buck 110 was standard carry. Very difficult to sharpen but worth it. Thank you for sharing Blackie and take care.
I have the same knife and take it with me every time I go deer hunting, squirrel hunting, turkey hunting, etc. When I got mine, I got one for my son and a friend of mine removed the wood handles and replaced both of them with a black and white pearl type handle. He did such a good job it looks like it came from buck that way. Then I made matching leather sheaths for our knives. They are tan/brown and already showing age. Stamped in our initials and some other tooling (I do some leather crafting). The Buck 110 is an all around work horse of knives. Thanks for sharing your video and hope you get to feeling your old self soon. Juddie - J & J TOA
I was lucky enough to have one with the 440 steel, never had a problem sharpening it because my father had a carborundum stone (159 grit). I wore a lot of steel of that blade keeping it like a razor.
I had one of these in damascus and stag, some years ago, received it as a gift. I have quite slim fingers, so I was opening it easily with one hand. It was stolen from me when I was living in a flat with few others "colleagues"... now I carry a plain victorinox ranger, useful, but with less cool factor.
Get well soon, Blackie! Thanks very much for all you do. Take care.🙂
I got my first 110, in 1978, when I graduated college. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Hope you feel better soon🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓
Thank you! You too!
Your video brought back memories. A long time ago when I was 17 years old I started working at a block/brick yard as a yardman making minimum wage. I needed a reliable knife and the Buck 110 was the ticket. It took six months or more to save up enough money to finally buy a buck 110. And your right. Carried it in my back right pocket just the way you described. Putting an edge on it was a bear. But ....... working at a block/brick yard we also sold landscaping stone. And we also had a block saw. So I took some chocolate flagstone to the block saw and cut my own whetstone. It sharpened that Buck 110 better than any other store bought whetstone or diamond stone I ever tried. It put a razor sharp polished convex edge on the knife. Lost that knife somewhere along the line. But a few years ago I found the same year Buck 110 on ebay I had when I was 17 and bought it. Now all the world is right again. And yes. I also worked the blade with oil to loosen it up to work it one handed exactly as you described. The only thing I need now is some chocolate flagstone and access to a block saw.
Blackie , Great Video and Outstanding Information I appreciate the trip down memory trail . Being the Class of '79 , yes the gun rack in the back glass of pick up trucks and trading guns in the parking lot at school . You are right we had fist fights . My dad had a dark green sharping stone ,he was Korean war veteran he told me this is what they used to put a edge on bayonets ,it was a very hard stone . The knives back in high school was Case Sod Buster , Stockman , Buck 110 , Old Timer 125 OT lock back , Old Timer 25 OT folding large hunter . I'm 60 years old and I would like to know how old you are . If you need some of Great Uncle Lynn finest ,it has to be put in glass because it will eat plastic . Praying for a quick recovery . You Are The Master Woodsman and Buschcrafter Thanks Again. Tim L.
I have one of the new models made of carbon steel. I sanded it down, blued it, and use it as my EDC pocket knife. Great tool. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
Get well soon Brother. Praying for you. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the history! I have caried one of those knifes for longer than I can remember. I use it for everything from a door stop and hammer, to even cutting things. It is such a part of my daily life, and I am so comfortable with it, that I once even used it to eat Ice cream with that I bought from a store while I was out on a bike ride. I use them so much that I wear them down to the point that they won't even stay closed all the way. By then I figure that I got more than my money's worth out of them and buy a new one. ;-}} Take care and make sure that you take 5k vitamin D3 every day!
THANKS
I've had a couple of 110's in my life, bought the last one in the late 80's from a down and out vet who needed some dough. I kept it for him just in case, but he never came back for it. It was a very early model that he'd carried in the service. Same thing happened to it that happened to the first one I had; somebody decided they needed it more than I did and that 110 found itself stolen. I still had my dad's old Case folding hunter, a much better game skinner anyways, so I left things as they were. Well here I am 20 some years later and decided I needed that 110 back in the collection. Found a really tarnished one on FeeBay and sniped it, won by just a few cents. Got it home, polished it up with some ancient silver polish, whipped out my Spyderco Sharpmaker and made this latest, my 3rd Buck 110, as sharp as when it left the factory; not bad for a 10 year old, well carried, second hand, EDC knife. Why buy used? Well I'm blessed with an eye for detail, and the photos of this knife told a story, and in that story the one detail I was looking for was present, the blade was still in the original length, no chipping, bad sharpening, or tip loss; SOLD. You really can't do better than a Buck 110 for a travel companion, well, unless you live in place run by jerks where you have a three inch limit to blades that are concealed. I just ordered my first Buck 112. Going forward that and my Olight i5R will be part of my EDC pocket carry. Be well Blackie.
Excellent review of the classic Buck 110 knife. I have carried one for many years and won't be without one! I also am very partial to the Buck 119 Special sheath knife. Both are excellent woodsman cutting tools. By the way, Buck still offers the factory upgrades you mentioned.
I carry one daily absolutely love it fantastic knife. Man I hope you feel better soon!
This is just a fantastic video and I thank you for your story of this knife.
I have the 110 and 112 and fully agree that it's a terrific knife.
Back around 1983 I purchased a double bladed Uncle Henry. It was used to skin every thing I harvested. Even then, I was amazed at the quality of not just the knife but the sheath which is thick leather. Now that I have seen your video I am reminded that a lot of effort was put into keeping it sharp. Time to dig her out and see if it would be easier with the sharpening devices I have acquired since it was used.
I love your videos. Thank you for this walk down memory lane. Now I have to dig in my knife drawer pull out my 110 do a little TLC on her. Feel better so.
Blackie, I’m 73 and still have my knife. I use it from time to time out in the garden! I remember in high school I gave a report on bird hunting and brought my shotgun in school. Talked about different loads for different birds. Those were the day!! Lol!
i was on the high school rotc rifle team we shot .22 back then
Funny, I’m a old guy (63). I’m setting here cleaning my 110 when this video came up. The 110 has many memories for me. The only negative is the weight. Hope you keep get feeling better.
Hope you feel better soon Blackie.
I work in a deli and I carry a 110 auto, I love this knife, I got medium hands but whatever this is the knife nothing feels wrong with the 110 especially the automatic, every time I whip this out people are like “no! Wait I want to cut this!”
Great video, hey you shared some oldies tips like the oil lube to pinch open and choking to protect the tip and yea never punch lol, hey if you want share some Buck 110 tips n tricks I’d watch it so I don’t mess up my two hundred dollar knife
Get well Blackie. Thanks for the video. Classic knife. 👍🏻
Yes blackie, I remember the line of ford trucks parked at our school, gun racks loaded during hunting season.Sure glad we grew up in those times.😊
we were blessed for sure
Nice Blackie, I ordered one of those Buck 110 about one week ago, with some points I earned from work so getting it free really:) Always seen those knives too, but never had my own, but I'm expecting mine any day now. I love collecting knives and figured heck you got to have a Buck 110 Folding Hunter in a real American knife collection:)
you got that right the 110 is a must have in a collection
I saw my first Buck 110 back in early seventies. It was in a surplus store where vets were hocking them. I could not afford till I was in the Navy. Three months after I bought it, someone stole it. So I had to buy another one. I really like it but now days I do not like the weight on my belt. I still have a few laying around.
i know lots of active duty who carried these its a good knife for field work
That's some really nice description and interesting stories. Thank you! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I been carrying a buck 110. Used one in Afghanistan when I was deployed. Great knife.
I bought my father a buck 101 and his birthday his the 12th of July. I feel like he will enjoy this but he is a man who works with red cross and I hope he finds this as a helpful tool. Thank you for telling a young buck like me (pun intended) a little more about this knife. I hope to one day go hunting with him and see him pull this knife out
I'm 60 years old, and you bought back the day. Thanks for this video, great information. Yes you are right, very popular in the 70s. Everyone carried a Buck 110. Bo and Luke Duke also carried this knife in The Dukes Of Hazzard.
I pray you get well soon Blackie, I really enjoy your videos, I still have my Buck 110 that my Dad bought me in 1977 for my birthday and yes it was used just as you said, for everything. Thanks Blackie for bringing back some wonderful memories.
I had this Buck 110 for 45 yrs and it seems as I got it yesterday, oh my how fast time passes.
it happens that way i look back and the memory is so clear in my mind..then i think wow that was 45yrs ago funny how that happens
I got my first Buck 110 for Christmas in 1975 when I was 12 years old..I used to wear it on my belt to school and sharpen my pencil with it! Now days you would be thrown out of school and probably need your parents to pick up up from the police station!
Like Kenton Hammond I too have carried this beast since the very early 70's but after having broken the tip off many of these knives I have retired them. I regret having to do that but when the last tip broke off just month's after replacing it, I gave up. I love how the knife feels in my hand and I miss it daily. But I just can't justify carrying one that always breaks on me
The 110 is a beauty. Get well Blackie. Best to you. I just finished my time with rona crud. Keep your immune system in shape as best you can. The virus can't live longer than 10 days in the body, so hang in there and take some naps! ;)
I have Buck 110 that was given to me by the company I worked for in 1976, they had the company name engraved on bottom bolster and my name on the opposite side.... I feel a little guilty as I was one of those people who used and abused that knife, I beat it up something ugly!!!
I still have it and have been considering sending back to Buck and having them do a 'Spa treatment' on it where they'll replace a worn or broken blade and polish it up and make it look 'pretty' again.
But I kinda like it the way it is, the worn blade and all the scratches and dings in the wooden handles and brass give it a sense of 'character' and I can remember what I was doing when I put another 'ding' in my knife.....Yeah it's not so 'pretty' anymore but it's still just as functional now as it was the day it was made!!! I've 'retired' the knife and it sits in my gun safe and I take it out every now and then and sharpen it which is a chore as it has the 'hard' steel you talked about.
I have four other 110's a couple that were gifts and two that I bought, I even have a 112 that I carry from time to time, but they have never had to endure the punishment I put on that first one.... But yes sir, they do make a hell of a 'work' knife!!!
I worked for La Mesa RV in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the mid 1970s when I was 17. They would ocassionally fly me to San Diego, CA to pick up an RV. I wore a Buck 110 in a leather sheath every time and nobody even raised an eyebrow. It was so common it was virtually unnoticeable.
Great video sir. I appreciate hearing about better times
Fantastic Video I just happened upon. I'm 56yrs.old and now that I think about it (because I wasn't really INTO knives as a teen) that was my first lock back knife. Don't know if I bought it or if my Dad gave it to me or picked one up at a party. But I know I was guilty for using it as a hammer because I remember it pulling apart at the top. Funny though I managed to just pull it apart completely by hand and kept the steel. My....I must have managed to keep it maybe 6-8 yrs. before chucking it. Thanks for taking me back in time. Very nice. Glad you are feeling better, new subscriber.👍
My Uncle still has mine that I bought and Carried in High School. Got it in 1978 carried it until 1980. ( Sold it to my Uncle in 86.
In the late 70's I saved my summer odd job money and my dad took me Southern Outdoor Sports in downtown Dothan so that I could buy a Buck 110. I carried that knife everywhere I went. I still carry one a lot, especially when I am out in the woods
i remeber southern outdoor sports i bought quite a few things there over the yrs
Have 3 110s and 1 112 ranger love theme so much my first 110 I have had for 30 years love it so much
The story telling in this video made it worth the watch. Thanks, Blackie. Be well!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Blackie for the Buck 110 review and i just purchased one. And like it alot. You're a very humble man. And Subsribed to your channel. Like your videos. Very formative and enjoyable.
Fantastic knife 🔪, I've just ordered a buck 112 ,can't wait to get it and start to edc it 😊
Great video 📹 nice to hear about the past 👍
Been had mine for over 30 years. It was a gift .I keep it oiled and polished. I'm sick too, hope you feel better!
Sorry to hear that hope you feel better soon
Hot soup rest and meds hope you feel better soon Blackie. Love your videos, see you on the next one. God bless.
Blackie, we hope that you get to feeling much better very soon.i greatly appreciate you doing the video on one of my favorite knives that I have owned, the Buck 110 Folding Hunter. I now have a couple of the Buck 110s. One is an everyday carry belt knife. The other is the 50th Anniversary special edition knife that I do not carry. The Buck 110 is made of great steel with a fantastic heat treatment. It fits almost every situation and you can depend on it in getting the job done. Great knife made here in the United States by a family owned American company. Thanks for sharing your insight on this legend. - Tennessee Smoky
thank you for the comment safe journeys
Glad you are feeling better Blackie. When I can't get one of my knifes sharp a guy in town can and charges $5. Back in the day the Buck 110 was the knife to have.
Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Yep, when I was a kid the 110 was sort of a rite of passage to young manhood. A classic blade. Glad you're feeling better!
the rites of passage for a young man the first time you were asked to guard something / the first time you were trusted with a pocket knife / the first time you were trusted to build the campfire // to fish alone or hunt alone camp alone
@@BLACKIETHOMAS Yes. It was more than a knife on your side, it taught us how to be responsible.
In the 70s I worked for the US Forest Service and everyone of us had one in a leather case on our belt. It was an expensive knife at the time, my girlfriend bought it for me as a birthday gift. I still have it.
I have two 110s with black sheaths. I found a guy on ebay, from North Carolina I think, that makes leather sheaths for Buck 110 sized folders and picked up two of his "seconds" for around $5 each. I honestly can't tell why they are "seconds". They do have stitched on belt loops and the stitching has loosened up over time. Eventually I'll either have to sew them back on or reinforce them with my speedy stitcher or just make slits in the back of the sheath itself to act as a belt loop. I carry either a Spyderco Para 3 or a Benchmade Minigriptilian in my pocket but keep a 110 in my jeep to throw on my belt when we go hiking in the desert. That 110 can take a lot more abuse than the Para 3 or the Minigrip.
Taking about Brown sheaths here.
Love It 😊
Bought the Buck Folding Hunter in late '67 before going to Nam. It wasn't called the 110 then and has no number stamp on the blade. Flat pin heads also. Carried and used so many years the blade is thin and have repaired the sheath. I retired it some years ago. Not long ago I got the 110 Lite and carry only occasionally. Also was gifted a Kline Tools miniature 110 clone that I use when in dress clothes.
When I got my first 110 my grandfather who taught me everything I will ever need to know about hand honing and sharpening was an electrician at a textile plant and had access to many different sharpening stones and rods. He introduced me to high grade high hardness ceramic and it has polished more edges on a Buck knife than I can count. Unless you order some suersteel from the Buck Custom shop, a Spyderco TSM or bench stone set in brown and white is all you will ever need. For nicks nowadays I also carry a DMT RED Tri fold serrated sharpener. Big rat tail hone that will adjust anything except a super fine serration. Also unbelievably handy is the filament out of a bulb from a large street light. You must VERY carefully break the bulb and remove the metallic cage around it. Very hard ceramic but lasts decades.
Yes in the early 90s they changed the steel, so I switched to Cold Steel in high carbon because of a drop in quality... But there seems to have been a turnaround...especially when ordering from the custom shop. All in the heat treat . Thanks again Blackie
Back in the early 70's I had a Puma Game Warden. Got it cause it was thinker than the Buck as you observed about your KABAR
Ohh yes the memories of the good old 70s being a country boy. Yep my 22mag rode in the gun rack anytime from school to the woods. The Buck 110 is a fine knife still have it today. But a bear to keep sharp unless you have a diamond stone or a fancy belt sharpnerr.. Get well soon there Blackie 🇺🇸👍
Memory lane. Thank you Blackie. God bless
Thank you too
my 1st cash earned as a 10 yr old in 75 I paid $36 and Caried my buck 110 for 30 yrs truck driving and construction and 4 sheaths, till it got replaced with a Fellhoelter!
Plan on handing off to my grandkids some day!
Enjoyed hearing you speak on your experiences and share your knowledge. I always enjoy listening to the wisdom of of the older generation and learn from them.
thanks
Me and my wife drive over the road we had covid . Just a few weeks ago spent six days in a truck stop on a twin size bed . My wife felt good enough to get me to a hospital I had pneumonia it was bad we were down in Washington state for 2 weeks . That delta variant is rough.
I really miss the good old days.
Got one for my Dad back in the early 80s as a Christmas present. His first choice to take when deer hunting.
Bikers carried 112s. Sand the slab down so the thumb pushed the blade at a lower angle . Open almost as fast as an auto. A guy wanted to trade me an Italian auto for my Buck . I would not even consider it . Still have several 110s and 112s .👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's just like my Kershaw Corral Creek but a bit bigger, great video bud
Still carry one today. Use it camping and on every trip to the woods.
Back in the day I really wanted one of those so bad but they seemed so expensive and then this year as a 72 yr old man i was visiting my son in Spokane Washington and found out the Buck knife factory was real close it was Thanksgiving and they hold a big sale every year my son and I decided to go. Long story short I kick myself because I finally had an opportunity to buy one at a substantial discount and finally could afford it and didn't. Instead I bought a beautiful Buck sheath knife
I do the same with my 110 sheaths except I put knife in plastic wrap so. as to keep moisture of it and can leave it in longer
They still have a customization option on their website. You can make a very expensive knife. They have gotten so expensive for even the base model times are very scary.
Buck still has a custom shop and does custom 110 they also have a drop point 110 which I prefer to the original. I also carried a 110 in high school along with every cop, emt and fireman that I knew.
Great video about a great knife! Thanks Blackie! Get well soon my friend!
I really enjoyed this video. I've had 3 buck 110s . I've got 2 now because I gave one to my son . I love the heritage of buck knives. I hope you feel better soon brother. I will definitely be praying for you.
That is awesome!
