Kyle noseworthy very nice work but I'm not a fan of buck knives as they use 420 steel I go no lower than 440 I owns two case knives they are fantastic for my spoon carving and cleaning my caught rabbits for pot I also use flexcut jack knives comes razor sharp out the box greeting from UK England near London 🐾🐺👍:-)
Hi, looking for someone to make some really good whitetail buck shed antler scales for my Buck Folding Alpha Hunter (279). I have the antler that will be used, but I don't have the tools to cut and shape them. The rest of the knife is in really good shape, and you can use the original rubber scales to shape them with. Let me know if you are willing to take this on, I can send photos of the knife and antler, and you can quote me a price. Very little polishing will be needed, except on the edges of the scales.
Mostly bikers, hunters, and truckers carried the 110 in the 1970s. After the TV series 'The Dukes of Hazzard' came out in 1979, everyone had a Buck 110 on their hip, even in school. I opted for a Schrade LB7. Used to put finger grooves on 110s or reprofile the blade tang for quick one-handed flicking. One company made a blade attachment called the Flicket that was very popular for Buck 110s and similar knives.
I opted for a Schrade LB7 as well. My wife at the time gifted it to me as an anniversary gift in 1981. Still have it today. I preferred the LB7 over the Buck 110 because the finish was much more refined. For instance, the rivets along with the pin were flush with the scales, and the mechanics of blade open and close were smoother and solid, as it is today :)
Not to forget Navy men always had 110s on their belts - closest thing to a modern sword on board ship. Problem was too many snipes and Skulls would get into knife fights (speaking from personal experiance) so Buck came up with the shorter blade ranger for ship board use which doesnt make it any less lethal. Blades are so sharp you bleed just looking at them.
@@RobertBena-r9e I was in the Navy from 1983 to 1987 as an Aviation Electronics Tech, but went to Aircrew School in Pensacola FL. after A School. Stationed as a Helicopter Crewchief on Heuy UN-1N's in Southern California. Tucked in Chambray shirts and dungarees for the work uniform back then. We weren't supposed to have anything hanging on our belts, so a lot of the guys had the Paraloft sew up Nylon webbing as an inside the waistband knife sheath. All you would see is a loop over the webbed belt. These days the new Navy working uniform covers your belt so you can't see what is clipped on that belt. I carried a Spyderco Police model in my flightsuit chest pocket (they came out in 1984) and Cold Steel San Mai Tanto in my survival vest (I was dating one of the Cold Steel manager's daughter).
Great video. I think almost 7 out of 10 of the teens i grew up with had the buck 110 folding hunter. Ive had mine since i was around 12-13 years old (now im 57) and still have it in my small knife collection. Ive worked on a few of them but only to repair a broken handle or loose pins. After watching this video im giving serious consideration to customizing my buck 110 Thank you for all this great instructions you sir are a master.
Thanks so much David. They are an iconic knife, that's for sure. A buffing wheel is most beneficial for these projects. All of the rest of the job can be done by hand, sanding with various grits. However, you'll never make that brass and bone gleam without a buffing wheel!
David, if you have had your 110 for 45 years, it may be very collectible as is. Please look up the Buck date codes to see when it was made. I can't recall exactly when the date codes began -- probably around 1970. If so, yours is very collectible as is.
Lockback knives like this have been around for quite a while. Note the Cattaraugus 'King of the Woods' (1906). I'm fortunate to have had one passed down to me. I do not own a Buck 110 but wish I did. My go-to large knife for butchering and hunting is a Case double bladed Trapper. Thanks for the video.
I remember when the buck knife 1st came out. I was told I was too young have one When I was old enough I received one for my birthday . I have had many they have came and gone. I now have a 50 year anniversary. But after your video I'm going to buy another and try my hand at putting on new scales . Glad I found your RUclips channel knife looks great look forward to more videos. Take care and thank you.
I’d prefer like a exotic wood as a handle, but the choice you made is pretty good. I do like how people do try and work on old knives even if it’s just to give them a new look.
Nice job and carefully crafted. Would suggest cobbling together two thin lead covers for the machine vice to prevent injury some metals and using jewler's rouge for the brass polishing.
Use a ball cutter bit on your Dremel next time, you can do precise cutting to cut the pins heads down and not damage the scales so you can use them again if needed!
That is a thing of Beauty, I honestly thought you would put new Brass rivets through the scales to keep the look, but this is in a way much better. Horn is a natural product and the rivet holes would allow for the Horn to Crack. This way, you have reduced the risk of cracking from the Horn drying out excessively. Wish that was my knife.
Very nice looking end result! I did a similar thing with a very old Victoria farmers knife I was given. It had dried out, beat up horn scales that desperately needed replacing. I absolutely love the look of horn scales, they polish beautifully and they feel wonderful to the hand. Now I want a Buck 110 to refurnish...
When I glue anything black, I mix photocopier toner in the epoxy, and it gives a deep glossy permanent black bond, which fills any imperfections as well.. Maybe this tip will help someone,,,
Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan , nope, I like the jet black colour for a lot of jobs, no downside at all !! I've heard you can mix in kids poster paint (dry powder type) for a range of colours,, but that's on my list of stuff to try !! Recently found your channel ,, keep up the good work buddy !!
A few years back I attended an inlay class with David Marks in Santa Rosa CA and Larry Robinson (he does much of Martins super high end work). Being a novice neither my routing nor my cutting were very accurate. But CA glue and wood/bone dust do a great job of filling in any gaps between the inlay and substrate. Won’t improve the accuracy of what was cut, but you won’t have gaps. Soooo.. If you have a similar issue with scale material and bolsters such as are on the Buck 110 worry not, you can fix it with CA glue and dust from sanding...
The 110 is a classic for sure. I've got a 110, 503 & 373 - hope to order a customized 112 at some point (no pun intended). Thanks for the video on a great knife!
You did a beautiful job on that Buck. I kind of cringed when you started but the results were worth the watching. I wonder what that knife would look like with some good stag inlays?
The T Piece you made for the 'vice in a vice' set up is what I used some time ago in my workshop with my buffing/grinding wheel tool. That would also save you space.... Just something to consider. Nice work on the knife!👏👏
Always Wondered how to take this particular knife apart, thanks to you for showing this video I can't wait to restore mind, will let you know how it turns out.
Very nice video Kyle. This isn't the first time I watched this but I think I picked up some detail I didn't see originally. The scales are incredible. I have a 110 from their custom shop. It has white scales and a black finish on the blade. My thinking was a mirror finish would look nice opposed to the black. I had the blade made with S30V steel. one of my favorites. Again great video. I enjoyed it very much. R
Nice work brother- I did finally get that shotgun shell holder from gearbest took about a month and a week to get it but it's really nice thank you for the tip.
I do that vice thing too ,I have a big ‘un and a little’un to go in my joiners vice, very useful. I ‘ d like to have seen the rivets back in place if it was mine.
Kbar made a version of this knife where the wooden inlays were twice as thick and tapered down to meet the brass. I hope this is what you did and you used that thickness to better the knife
I have that exact knife made by Schrade. I bought it used with a sheath and it had been well used and somewhat beat up, but it's still sharp and still solid. Great knife.
Fantastic videos! So glad Lars from Survival Russia mention you and I came by to have a look. Loving the content and look forward to the next one. Cheers from a mainlander in Toronto :)
I enjoy your work. Recently, I took apart a badly damaged third version Buck 110 to replace the blade and spring. When I removed the handles (which were pinned and seemed original) I noticed a thin layer of grey adhesive on the handles. It looked like very old JB Weld type of stuff. It pretty much stayed stuck to the scales and I’m going to leave it alone when I re-pin the handles. Have you ever seen evidence of adhesive on older Buck 110s? The one I’m working on had the integral brass spring retainer cast into the one side of the handle. I’m not sure if this was done by Buck at the factory or if the handles were removed and glued and re-pinned somehow at some point in the past. Based on what I saw, I would assume the handle rivets were original to the knife and whatever adhesive that is was on there from the beginning but I’m just not sure. Thanks!
Backlock folding knifes are made in Europe since 1880, in Spain, italy and Germany. Buck was the first making in the USA massively, but as I said you, it was NOT the inventor, not even remotely :)
@@tedrowland7800 yes, I was saying backlock folding knife, Buck is not the inventor of the backlock, is the one who 'industrialized' this system, but existed in several factories here in europe :)
What a terrible thing to do to a really classy old 110. I've got one I've had since 1970 or so. Replaced a knife I had in Vietnam that went over the side and into the water. Love it...
I would have to disagree. I think it could be seen as honoring the 110; taking an old 110, cleaning it up, giving it some new clothes. The beauty of a 110 is that in 10 years you can do it again. Strip it down, clean, polish, refit new scales, etc. It's a generational knife. No need to keep it 'stock'.
Yeah, I mean it’s not like it’s some rare piece of history, it’s a good knife but they only cost about $45, if you don’t like it someday down the road, you can redo it or buy another one
I lost an early 110 jumping off a landing craft in Jungle Warfare School in Panama, 1975. I agree about messing with a classic 110. There are so many newer ones out there to mess with. Hands Off the pre-date code Bucks!
I used to use alot of the b horn it sands and polishes nice... Until i did a camillus 32 fish knife for a florida resident... Yep you guessed it the sunshine state warped it up bad! So im going to use other materials,theres plenty more to choose from.And also always pin your handles to the knife;i mean no epoxy even blade bond can handle shocks like being dropped...Handles will just pop off! not a good feeling,esp when you do all that work.... Looks good though!!
Where abouts is that accent from? I can definitely hear Irish influence in there. I just bought an Uncle Henry buck 110 style knife and hopefully this year will get my first water buffalo here in the Northern Territory of Australia. I'll have to look up how to stabilize the horns so I can customize my knife with them. Figure it would be a great hand me down for my son. Thanks for the video. Awesome work.
You did an awesome job with that knife. I have maybe 50 Buck knifes. Family & friends bought them for me over the years as Christmas and Birthday presents. I saved almost all of them. The Buck 112 is a far better knife then the 110. What would it cost to get a couple of knifes done this way? Where are you located? I was thinking about doing one for myself and one for my son.
i nave a nice-looking Gerber with zebrawood inserts finger grip curves, brass bolsters and a really polished blade I liked the look of it better than the buck I got i back around 1990 when they were clearing out those styles for the synthetic handle knives
Wow brother that’s amazing work!! I would love a customized Buck 112. I actually have a RUclips channel- where most of my reviews are Buck knives.. I would love to do some business with you!
Dude thats fkn! Beautiful! I hate the handles buck uses. They look so crappy n inconsistent. I think they should use a rosewood or make more variations. But good work man! I might have to make one myslef!

Dennis, buy and older one and upgrade. Why mess with a perfect brand new one?!? (My 2 cents on your knife.)

exactly if you can find them dentist drills are amazingly precise tungsten carbide cuts a bit too good

Buffalo Horn is one of my top 5 in handle materials.

I just ordered a custom 110 should be here in 4 weeks (From the Buck shop)I chose Buckeye Burl for the handle
My God that's beautiful! You have definitely earned a subscriber!!! Well done!!
When he said he was going to put the final finish on the knife I thought he walked up to a bench grinder instead of the buffing wheel! Hahahaha
everyone needs a buck! I never use mine hard as it's a very special little knife for me.
Excellent tutorial. Of topic now but do you ever lubricate the opening pivot on your case knives? If so what do you personally use?
i nave a nice-looking Gerber with zebrawood inserts finger grip curves, brass bolsters and a really polished blade I liked the look of it better than the buck I got i back around 1990 when they were clearing out those styles for the synthetic handle knives
Wow was that awesome work. Loved watching this and subscribed. Absolutely beautiful. I love the Buck 110 and that takes it to a whole other level.
This kid is really good.
I just found my birthday present this year; replace some scales with buffalo horn.
Facts
I was looking forward to this video!
Edit: wow, that was a lot of work, but well worth it. Beautiful job!
I am currently doing this to my 110. Here's the difference; I amusing popsicle sticks to build my scales.
Great job. And I learned a lot about my own 110 in the process
Thanks! I'm glad
This is so cool I want to put new scales On my buck knife now.
That's a beautiful job you did! Very impressive! I'd love one done up with kirinite scales
Wow brother that’s amazing work!! I would love a customized Buck 112. I actually have a RUclips channel- where most of my reviews are Buck knives.. I would love to do some business with you!
Dude thats fkn! Beautiful! I hate the handles buck uses. They look so crappy n inconsistent. I think they should use a rosewood or make more variations. But good work man! I might have to make one myslef!
That’s beautiful. I am so gonna attempt that. I’m from Hawaii so I think I’ll use Koa 🤔🤙🏽
Gorgeous work, that's a keeper for sure
Thank you for the video of good luck and prosperity to your channel from Russia with love
thats gorgeous not gonna lie i wonder what it would look as a full gold piece
Great work! Wondering what you used to get the horn down to the right thickness.
Absolutely stunning ! Enjoy this video.
Great job on the knife buddy !! Happy Easter to you and the family 🐰
Happy Easter man!
