    Yeah man these are good knives I have several. I file down that little sharp bump on the underside of the scales that the pinky grips... digs in if I don't. I'm never dissatisfied with Bucks 420hc... good solid economy steel. Nice job Jeff!

    Jeff, I have a Buck 110 that my Dad gave me for my 13th birthday in 1964. The leather case is well worn but the 440C steel has performed as one would expect Buck heat-treated steel to perform. I have several Bucks as well including a black Vantage Select and a Marine green Vantage Force Select. I'm a little upset that you reviewed the BLW because now I have to get me one. HAHAHA! Really like your knowledgeable and down-to-earth reviews. I can always count on you to calls 'em like you sees 'em. Peace from Georgia, U.S of A.

    • @KennyCnotG
      @KennyCnotG 11 лет назад

      Wow, thats a testament to the quality Buck putsout with their product. How much different is your 1964 110 to a modern day one? I'm really curious

    • @MrLaklander
      @MrLaklander 11 лет назад +1

      KennyCnotG The biggest difference is that the older 110's didn't have rounded edges along the handles as the new ones do, so the new ones seem a little more ergonomic. You will also see difference in number of pins. The modern ones have 3 pins since they show the lockback pin, and scale pins, older ones vary from 2-4pins, the only reason this matters is from a collector's perspective. the older ones had specially heat treated 440C blades and the newer ones have several different blade steels and can be custom ordered from Buck's custom shop. You can have S30V or 420HC steel and a wide variety of handle materials,wood,horn,and shell mostly. Also, some of the blades are made in China and can be identified by the word "China" on the tang opposite the name "Buck". Also, you can get finger grooves on the newer models. Be safe and stay sharp.

      Thank you for the info man! Interesting stuff about the pins, i wasn't expecting that bit of the design to be different.

      I’m a Georgia boy myself my grandfather used Buck old timer and uncle Henry knives but me myself I like collecting knives from all ranges, but one of my favorite groups of knives is your classics book and the old classic old timers uncle Henry back when they were made in the states as we know, uncle Henry and old timer was made by shrade hopefully I remember the spell that right but old timer was made by that company in the USA. All timers were made from 1958 to 2004 and 2004 when they started making them in China but I also like my Case knives as well, I do enjoy my traditional brands agian Case Buck more because they are still made in the United States today old timer and uncle Henry no longer makes theirs in the USA and I still like those but they don’t make them like they used to but these type of eyes are grandfathers and our fathers grew up carrying Buck Case Old Timer and Uncle Henry’s then in the mid 90’s as a young kid, I used to enjoy and I still do that’s another company. I forgot to mention a lot of their good models Gerber makes most of their knives in the USA. There’s some that’s made overseas but all their good models like the ones I have such as the gator series that was introduced in 1991 they are still USA made to day with the only thing about the newer versions of the holsters that you carry them in on your belt or Chinese made, but the knife the Gerber gator is May to look like the originals and still American made

  • @alexryherd9810
    @alexryherd9810 10 лет назад

    I have baught a lot of expensive knives but I have to say nothing beats an American made buck. For the price you the whole package and a forever warranty, that you'll never have to use. Good review Jeff.

  • @Twister8700
    @Twister8700 7 лет назад +1

    I bought on of these knifes about 3 years ago. I love it. I carry it about everyday. It's about the same pattern as yours. Different but similar. Last month my wife and myself went to Toronto Canada. I took this knife because I wanted I decent sized knife because I couldn't take a handgun obviously. So have it in my back pocket as usual. We decide that we want to up into the CN Tower. So we go to the entrance to the tower and they have metal detectors and security checks. It's too far to walk back to the car. I palm the knife and drop it in to a planter outside of the security/entrance. I figure it was only about $18 bucks. I get another one when I get back home. So we go up in the tower and come back down. I looked for it and couldn't find it. I did want to dig to hard/long as to draw attention by security. We walk away for a little bit. My wife says go back. Ok we go back and look again and find it right away. I glad I listened to her. Sorry so long.

  • @davidlarue2492
    @davidlarue2492 7 лет назад

    bought this knife for a beater type blade and a year and a half later it's still going strong. it's my edc work blade and it's performed great for me too. the only issues was yes a little blade play but nothing serious and the thumb studs lossened. I couldn't get them to tighten or to take them off so I used a little crazy glue to secure them and surprisingly they are still solid. I'm new to your channel and I enjoy your knowledge and vids. I love the pepper and inferno mase testing. bro you are crazy.

  • @breakerbroke23
    @breakerbroke23 10 лет назад

    I gave each one of my 4 kids one of these knifes, and they like them a lot. They stay sharp and easy to sharpen. They hold a good edge,. for the money spent for each one (20 bucks ) they are a great deal.. I use one in orange real tree for EDC. We like them

  • @SupaFlyFatGuy859
    @SupaFlyFatGuy859 11 лет назад +4

    I been thinking about this one for a long time. I just LOVE the look. The only draw back I've found is the tip down carry. But I think I might look passed that and pick up one of these knives!

      @SupaFlyFatGuy859 10 лет назад

      Yes sir! I won it from The Fatman actually! I'll be doing a review soon. Great knife for the money. I can't see it being easily beaten!

  • @ike780
    @ike780 7 лет назад +1

    The false edge on the back sparks a fire steel very well so it's multi use. I've heard folks whine about these for not being heavier use but its pretty obvious its for hunting, not batoning.

  • @UrbanSuburban010

    @dvanbramer88 11 лет назад

    Love that knife. And it is super light and the blade is great. Made in USA and lifetime warranty. I paid $16 online for mine. When I received it, i shaved my arm hair with it.

  • @jeffreypeterson2764
    @jeffreypeterson2764 9 лет назад

    thank you for your video, i found it accurate and helpful.I have used this knife as an EDC/ every day use, for the past 11 months. I agree that the steel is very good for the price and takes a beating.Handle is also very comfortable. However at this point the blade play on the vertical and horizontal axis is so great that i have stopped using it. The handle material also tends to brake at sharp angles if you happen to try and use it as a bottle opener. Having said that i do think that i got my moneys worth considering that it was used heavily. I would recommend this as a lite to medium duty EDC. Going to attempt to re-build and save the steel.

  • @codybuffoord3172

  • @theguy1717
    @theguy1717 10 лет назад +1

    I picked one of these up for 15 bucks at my wal-mart as a beater for my summer job...i was prying paint cans, cutting twine, boxes, used it as a screwdriver, just beat the heck out of it and it just smiled and kept on going, right at the end of the torture the very tip of the blade broke off, but it locks up solid and almost no blade play...for a cheapo beater get er done and pick one up

  • @rockstarmart
    @rockstarmart 11 лет назад

    I got the orange one last year for Christmas. And I love it. Once I sharpened it, it's the best knife ever, in my eyes. Which is why it's my EDC knife. It's pretty bad that this knife is $25 and I have a GERBER ultimate survival knife that is $60 and when my dad asked to borrow this knife when he went deer hunting I said "NO WAY, but I'll let you use the $60 gerber survival knife. So this sure is a quality knife

    I have the Bantam BHW, and it's a great knife, but I found that where the blade goes into the handle has some slightly sharp edges and can be uncomfortable during extended use. I have thought about filing it down but I haven't gotten around to it. Great vid, sir!

  • @TacticalXRays
    @TacticalXRays 11 лет назад +1

    one of my first name brand knives i got a couple of years ago. have that exact same model. it never got carried (tip down only) and the plastic handle is very flexible (no liners), therefore also very bladeheavy, not a good balance.bit of blade play laterally and vertically, though razor sharp though, so it has a place in my bug out bag! the blade is not centered at all, which is really weird for a lockback..i'm getting the bhw reaper as well, take off the pocket clip and carry it in my horizontal 110 nylon sheath- should fit
    haha- i commented before i watched the whole video - almost everything i mentioned you said too. we really do have the same requirements/criticisms about this blade :)

    @BigMason 11 лет назад

    I just got one for free from rewards at work. I've had it for 2 or 3 weeks and the only problem I've found is the clip is falling off. The screws only go into the plastic, are small, and just fall right out quickly.

  • @CaptDavesSportfishing
    @CaptDavesSportfishing 3 года назад

    lock backs only, no liner or frame locks!!! They are for ''flicker'' boys. the Buck reps say please buy camo....''so ya have to buy a new one next season'' My collection of Buck 560's Ti's are the sharpest I own.

  • @kevinkanzler6281
    @kevinkanzler6281 11 лет назад

    Its a great knife. I have two. One camo the other bone/skeleton. I beleive it is actual realtree anf i think the orange camo is mossy oak. I could be wring. They are amazing knives. Ive carried them for almost a year. I agree with where theyre made. I would assume the blade is U.S. Especialy since it is their usual steel. Its cheaper to nakr the blade in the same plant. I would reccomend this knife.

    Hey Jeff, have you heard of the Gerber STL 2.0 ? It's a tiny but not too tiny folding pocket knife that's only around 15$. I got mine at Canadian Tire (probably only in Canada) but I've heard of Americans buying them at Walmart. If you're ever considering a tiny sheeple friendly folder, check out that one =) --and do a review! =P I'm considering buying one to mail to you just so you could do a review. Love your reviews~!

    first off, love the gear reviews, keep it up.
    ok so just wanted to throw in a few things. the Walmarts in the area I live in only carry the orange model BLW, and its priced at $17.99. other thing is i recently purchased the BHW along with another BLW on ebay. for the 3.75" BHW I payed $17.00 shipped, and for the 3.1" BLW I payed $15.00 shipped. I know some people think twice when using ebay, but honestly I have bought at least 10 or 15 knives off of ebay and have never had a issue.
    anyhow just thought id throw that out there incase anyone wanted to save a few bucks.

    Take the clip off, Get a punch, a steel dome put it onto an anvil top like on a vice, and tap the rivet with a hammer. Dont go crazy or youll ruin the action, but its a way to fix the side to side play.

      Robert for now... give it a decade of time and use... it’ll be the toughest open and closing knife you’ve ever actuated. Unfortunately with these bolstered pins, you can’t take it apart yourself and clean it up either. You have to send them to buck and pay them in time and money to do a simple 20 minute clean up. It’s annoying as hell but what can you expect from a sub 50 dollar folder... not a lot from Buck I’ll tell you that much
