A complete win for Buck and for all knife enthusiasts! Companies have to evolve with the times or be left in the past. I bought my father a replacement traditional 110 Hunter as a replacement for his lost/stolen 1980's era one and I'm going to pick up this one for myself!
A phenomenal knife - love it! I am a traditional guy and love the variety Buck is putting out. I only buy knives that avoid being fidgets - because knives are tools and not fidget spinners which is why my collection consists of Chris Reeve, GEC, Case and Buck (for my taste).
I threw all of those super steel knives I collected over the years in a box and grabbed a couple prime condition 3 dot 1980-81 110's. Thicker heavier squared off handles, 440C (last year for that) and all three are perfectly centered and more solid lock up than the newer models. I don't mind sheath carry. The sheath I got was from a leather guy in Montana and is a friction sheath without the over snap so easy to grab. I don't mind the sheath carry because it frees up my pockets.
I am a classic kind of guy, I carry a 112 on my belt every day. But I like this knife. I think that Buck is doing a good job of thinking out side of the box, and to be competitive in the market they need to come out with knives like this. Not like they are quitting making the classic stuff. And maybe it’s not for everyone, but I think I would like to get one. I really enjoy Buck’s knives, and have collected a few. So yeah I like it, and love the classics too. Thanks for the video.
It's more stepping into the modern knife world than out of the box. I've dreamed of a one hand opening 110 with a pocket clip. The light weight G10 didn't cut it. Too thin and wrong blade shape. This was exactly what I was wishing for.
Love mine, I am a very old school kind of guy. I don't generally like knives with micarta but this knife checks all the boxes. Works well with me wearing bibs and not wearing a belt. But still is a classic design. Love the clip design.
I picked one of these up a couple months back, was blown away when you thumb flicked it open in the unboxing, I will not be trying to open it that way. Great revamp of the classic 110.
I got the 112 version of this knife. I am partial to the Buck 112 because I bought my first one from the ship's store on the USS Constellation as my daily tool knife as a Deck Seaman back in the early 80's. I used to do a lot of rope splicing, marlinspike seamanship, rigging etc. so I used it a lot. It served me well and I still have that knife. I really like this Sport version because it is a lot lighter and I can carry it in my front pocket clipped without having to wear a sheath and it works in that fashion better than the 110. Mine opens easily with the flick of the thumb. When I was in the Navy, I got so used to the 112 and nimble with it. I am able to open and close it quickly. To me, it just feels so right because I used one so much so I really am delighted with this modern evolution of this legendary knife.
@@DirkWerning Thanks! And to make it even better, it had the original ebony scales before the embargo and the more rare finger grooved grip. The original sheath is long gone and was wore out but Buck has replacement sheaths so I got one of those.
I love it, I daily a Buck Buck-lite. It's was their "sport" version 30 yrs ago. My dad have it to me when I was 5. At 37 I started using it again farming/mechanic work after sitting in my drawer for 25+ yrs. I♥️modern & tradion
It's an excellent user as well. I bought one for a collector peice myself and I had to order another because it quickly became my work knife. All the dependability of the traditional and so much easier to carry and use. I love the 2021 limited as well.
I currently have two Buck 110s. My original one has been "oversharpened" and the tip of the blade actually protrudes slightly above the the frame. That one's in my tool chest. My newer one is in my knife drawer upstairs. I've always carried my 110s in my front left pocket (I'm a lefty) rather than in the leather pouch. Needless to say, the first part of my jeans to go is holes in the front left pocket. Lately I've been carrying a SOG Aegis with the pocket clip. No problem, other than a serious lack of coolosity. I just ordered one of these new 110s "Sporties" with the lighter frame and the pocket clip. Waiting for it to arrive. Sure wish they'd drilled and tapped a couple extra holes on the other side for us left-handed folks. May have to have some custom work done by my machinist friend. UPDATE: This thing is great. Holds an edge like you wouldn't believe. I'm glad I got it.
absolutely love the traditional 110… absolutely beautiful knife… love this one, too.. i don’t know who would be upset about it and not be upset about the cheap, black one that’d been around forever
Your doing the devils work damn you. I was looking up videos on the Buck Paradigm that I was going to buy but now I have to buy 2 Bucks because of you and this video! I appreciate the information and you've got a new subscriber
I own a good number of 2-300 dollar Emerson’s and ever since getting this knife I find myself choosing it everyday. IMO you just can’t get a better edc. Looks, function, quality, and performance. It covers all bases. A modern day classic that is here to stay.
I think this is awesome for real, I love how they are doing the super light versions like that TRX but this is more like the classic with modern materials.
I own the Buck 110 the Lochsa, they did a batch of 500 of them when the model turned 50. It has s30 steal thumb studs and a pocket clip too. The reason why i carry it a lot is because I got a Pavlov reaction inducing edge on it, it is such a capable cutter i love it.
I like the 110 with aluminum frame my problem is the thumbstuds are never in the right place and I have to shift the knife around in my hands to get it open.
giod job buck this is a knifeguys buck....you can adjust the pivot...no more blade slop.....it made the classic wayyyyy better. love it. Nkw they just have to make it open and shut like a cold steel tiade lock on an ad10
I like it. I wish my 110 had a pocket clip, instead it has a really nice leather pouch which I cannot get myself to use so the 110 goes directly in the pocket. I thought mine was modern, cherry wood and a cpm20cv blade... but the 110 you are showing is very modern. I have seen add on thumbs studs for Buck knives... and I was always leary... like... will they slide right off if I try them out? Are the thumbstuds on the knife that you showed... removable?
Clamp on thumb studs from a company called quick. I have clamp one on my standard 110 and never had any issues with sliding or damage to the blade. Thumb studs on the sport can be removed, but are a pin through (meant to be permanently attached) design so you won’t get them back on. If you have a 110 without studs, try ordering a clamp on stud for around $8 and see if you like it.
I’m super interested in testing it out. I have a classic 110 and a 110 Slim and I just ordered a custom 110. The 110 that I want most is the one with CF scales and S45VN steel
@@DirkWerning The complaint was ,, Screws weren't recessed, in prior knives, but now they are. If they recess an entire Clip into the knife. NOOOOOOOO ha ha ha Happy Holidays
Ehhhhh, just saying..... I like what your thinking there. Maybe some glow in the dark replacement inlays. Maybe have to convince someone like The Knife Connection or Apllied Weapons Tech to make these.
It is a badass knife. There will always be people who dont like it, some because they want the traditional 110 design. some who want a modern 110. its all about preference. all the 110's are good knives. Also, where did you get the rule 9 coin?
Weird question: is the lock any easier to disengage? I have a classic 110 and man do I have to do some gymnastics to get it closed. Call me weak or whatever, it's just a thing I've had problems with on two 110's now.
i mean there is a reason why we still dont drive the model T fords, just because they worked back than, doesnt mean things can’t get improved on, i love classics, but honestly each youtube video about a buck knife has a ton of 70 year old men that have owned the knofe for the past 60 years and say they dont like fidget spinners. But we know dam well if we gave them a benchmade back than with the updated features, specks and machinery they would have of course gone with that
Good review. My preference, rather they kept brass bolsters. And polish the scales. Keep it classy. But, I'd use this one. It's an expensive beater knife. And give us a sheath...in leather.
Buck kinda dragged their feet to modernize the 110/112’s and their initial offerings with the hideous clips were a joke I thought. I got to handle this version at SMKW a week or so ago & was impressed (though I bought something else entirely - Protech Godson). It did linger in my mind however & now I have one coming in from DLT in the next day or so. They were in a bit of a corner for awhile on modernizing with the critics saying ‘same old steels’ & ‘no innovative product releases’ but I think this variation will prove that patience pays off in the long run. I also handled the new model 842 in S45VN which was impressive but just not three hundred dollars worth in my opinion. It’s good to see them innovate a bit though & I’d like to see some designers come on board with them. Time will tell. Just hope they never drop their classic offerings.
Just got mine. Very stiff hard to open. Lock back takes all my strenth to close blade. Detent is way to strong. The tip of the blade hits the housing when closing and folds the cutting edge over to one side. Other tan that I like it. If your used to very well made knives your not going to like it.
Soooo, I'm that odd knife guy who never liked the 110 in the first place. In fact, I would say I've actively disliked it for years. This does nothing to change my opinion. Glad I could stop by and drop my positivity here. You're welcome!

A mid-backlock and phosphor-bronze washers would do this thing wonders.
I'm really glad to see buck doing new things. I love my 110 and this is a knife I really want to get. Great video 👍

That’s a great story man. Awesome that you still have the knife you bought on the ship. Very cool.

Love the clean, modern look of that 110. Might need to save up to pick one up - loving your videos and subscribed. Thanks for the helpful reviews!
Thanks fir subscribing much appreciated.
Nothing wrong with updating a classic. I'd carry it.
But…but…it has no fidget factor. Apparently that’s all that matters today
Agree with you completely!

Hey Yuri, you know that war and peace was originally called “war, what is it good for?” Absolutely nothing, huh!
I like it as a collection piece. I have the 2021 Limited Edition 110 with S45VN and aluminum/ carbon fiber handle.
It's an excellent user as well. I bought one for a collector peice myself and I had to order another because it quickly became my work knife. All the dependability of the traditional and so much easier to carry and use. I love the 2021 limited as well.
Dirk - thanks as always, it's IMHO a solid win. Nice update of the classic. Could be used often in Montana. 👍🗡🦌
I agree it’s a good move in my book.
I like it . Probably would never carry a traditional 110.. but I might carry this one.. thanks for sharing. Did not know this existed..
I didn’t either.
yes... a big win. i like it very much.... edc and camping combined. love the look.

This makes me want to get a original one now ,
There is definitely no hate here. This is the Buck 110 I've always dreamed of. I'd like a see a version with wood inlays as well.
absolutely love the traditional 110… absolutely beautiful knife… love this one, too.. i don’t know who would be upset about it and not be upset about the cheap, black one that’d been around forever
Fantastic knife 🔪, I've just ordered a112 😊
I have the Ranger … getting the 110 soon.
Great vid
Thanks. Enjoy.
Your doing the devils work damn you.
I was looking up videos on the Buck Paradigm that I was going to buy but now I have to buy 2 Bucks because of you and this video!
I appreciate the information and you've got a new subscriber
I like it.maybe it will be nice for my collection.I haven't had a buck since I was a kid
Me either. Might need to add one back in.
I own a good number of 2-300 dollar Emerson’s and ever since getting this knife I find myself choosing it everyday. IMO you just can’t get a better edc. Looks, function, quality, and performance. It covers all bases. A modern day classic that is here to stay.
nostalgia aside, is it actually better than other knives that you have? or is it just your opinion and how it feels in your hand?
I think this is awesome for real, I love how they are doing the super light versions like that TRX but this is more like the classic with modern materials.
Exactly it’s pretty cool to see them evolving.
I own the Buck 110 the Lochsa, they did a batch of 500 of them when the model turned 50. It has s30 steal thumb studs and a pocket clip too. The reason why i carry it a lot is because I got a Pavlov reaction inducing edge on it, it is such a capable cutter i love it.

I like the 110 with aluminum frame my problem is the thumbstuds are never in the right place and I have to shift the knife around in my hands to get it open.
Love mine. I also carry it with a Buck 301 Stockman at the same time
I love that … best 110 I seen !
Riiiiiight
This new Buck 110 Sport is hot. I would love to see a polished titanium Buck 110 with timascus scales
Now you’re talking!!!!
In the 80's there was a titanium Buck 110 way ahead of it's time. I've been begging for it to come back.
Buck for life.
Such a great knife
Nice review, thanks for your time.
My pleasure
giod job buck this is a knifeguys buck....you can adjust the pivot...no more blade slop.....it made the classic wayyyyy better. love it. Nkw they just have to make it open and shut like a cold steel tiade lock on an ad10
True true.
I definitely appreciate nice packaging as well, but I don't know anyone who carries a regular pencil anymore.
I enjoy this knife, but without the pocket clip. It’s still too heavy and big for my pocket, so it sits in a sheath, like the 112 I enjoy too.
I like it. I wish my 110 had a pocket clip, instead it has a really nice leather pouch which I cannot get myself to use so the 110 goes directly in the pocket. I thought mine was modern, cherry wood and a cpm20cv blade... but the 110 you are showing is very modern.

The add in thumbstuds in general are good and don’t generally have any issues.
Yes these can be removed I believe.
Clamp on thumb studs from a company called quick. I have clamp one on my standard 110 and never had any issues with sliding or damage to the blade. Thumb studs on the sport can be removed, but are a pin through (meant to be permanently attached) design so you won’t get them back on. If you have a 110 without studs, try ordering a clamp on stud for around $8 and see if you like it.
I've used a brand called Kwick Studd for years. They don't come off. I believe these are removable as well.
I’m super interested in testing it out. I have a classic 110 and a 110 Slim and I just ordered a custom 110. The 110 that I want most is the one with CF scales and S45VN steel
Sweet
I like mine, it's a good work knife. While I'm not a fan of the pocket clip (I took it off) it's a good solid little knife
A year later, how's it holding up
It was just a loaner.
That’s a nice looking Buck!
G10 polished ivory scales would look good
True that would look great
What kind of pivot does it have? Ceramic or washers is ok for water?
I'm super excited to get one of these now after watching this......oh...never mind...
Hahaha
Recessed?!
Take the Clip off .
You can also easy tighten or loosen the pivot.
You don't have to wait.. for time
Absolutely there are ways to fix items I’m just explaining the ‘concerns’ straight out of the box. So that way people know what to expect.
@@DirkWerning
The complaint was ,,
Screws weren't recessed, in prior knives, but now they are.
If they recess an entire Clip into the knife.
NOOOOOOOO
ha ha ha
Happy Holidays
Ehhhhh, just saying..... I like what your thinking there. Maybe some glow in the dark replacement inlays. Maybe have to convince someone like The Knife Connection or Apllied Weapons Tech to make these.
😉👍🏻
How is vertical blade play or lock rock. I check that first for strength and lock wear
There is a little dude yo dude play but no lock rock. And I’m sure the pivot could be tightened down a little more and tuned better.
Winning 🎉
WIN!
Love it but lose the thumb stud and bring back the nail nick

It is a badass knife. There will always be people who dont like it, some because they want the traditional 110 design. some who want a modern 110. its all about preference. all the 110's are good knives. Also, where did you get the rule 9 coin?
Agreed all about preference. This rule 9 coin came from DNALasering and is solid silver.

Drink some milk...
@@wehrewulf insightful and bold comment, 1/10.
I push in the back lock and close with the spine on my thigh. I'm sure there may be a few other ways but it's what just happened naturally for me.

Where’s the balance point?
I love it
Agreed it’s very cool. Nice modern twist on a classic.
I just woke up, what did you say?
I like it. 😊
It will break in . Have yet to get a Bugout that is butter out the box
Very true. I agree.
The Bugout ruined the knife work. That 110 is a hard working tool. For me the Bugout feels like an under sized toy.
