Who owns a Buck 110?

So who owns one of these, the icon that has spawned a trillion million cheap copy offspring? I have to admit to liking mine a great deal

Sorry, just realised I put this in the wrong place, could a kindly mod please move it?

The 110 was my first really good knife. I got mine when I was 10 or 11. There will always be a special place in my heart for the 110, but with so many other great knives out there the 110 seems like an antique.

I never had a Buck 110 but I did have a quality knockoff... and I loved it.

Oh, I do, I do!! I love it! Definitely not a people friendly blade but a really work horse. It's pretty much retired right now, because I love my Salts, but it's a timeless classic. Love it!

It has a definite old school appeal for me, that's why I got it really. Carrying it in public is not an option here though.

I only have two user Buck knives, a 110 and a Gent; for weddings, the Gent is a perfect, indiscreet folder, while for everyday use, the 110 - which I have *cough*procured*cough* from my father* along with a Case Pen Knife. Nonetheless, since getting him a Squirt P4, he's not looked back at his pocket knives.

* - He abuses his blades; he has an Old Timer and a Case Stockman with broken blades... of course he's only now beginning to take care of them, after he's seen the prices for new, unused ones. -_- I'm just saving his other two quality knives from seeing the same fates. :/

I have 1. It's in the kitchen and I use it all the time. It's my "ugly work" knife.

I've had a few Buck 110's over the years, one of the all-time great folding knives IMHO. I currently have just two, an older standard production Buck 110 I carried while in the Army and this one........

I like those Yellowhorse knives, they get the Blackfoot and Cherokee blood in me all fired up.

I'm a big fan of Yellowhorse customs......they can turn the average into something truely remarkable. But they get costly. I have a few others from them, small lockbacks from their Silver Series based on earlier UC lockbacks. Not as nice as their Buck customs though.

Wish I had more.

I have several of them all from '68 or '69...the 110 was my first "quality" knife too but it took me years to learn how to sharpen it decently...then again I was only 8 at the time

I always wanted one because it's one of the icons of american culture, but the $50+ price kept me away.

I am pretty sure that Tim can get you one for a better price then $50.00 plus he will ship it to you.

I remember when 110 was all the rage and kids were wearing them and hiking boots at school (yes at school shows how old I am).

I wanted one and saved me money and bought a CHEAP knock off version not knowing the difference.
Then when I finally got my first 110 I stoled it from my best friends cousins house.

I wish I knew a way to make that up to him now.

Then my first wife bought me a Buck 112 Ranger which I thought was even better because of the smaller size.

I don't have a 110, but I do have a Buck lockback and it is superb.

The quality is second to none.

LatinoHeat · **Reply #25 on:** July 24, 2009, 12:21:19 AM

I had a 110, and gave it away. No, sorry, sold it for a song at a flea market. Could never get into it. Not a fan of knives that big. Anything that is too big to stick in my pocket comfortably is too big for me. Plus I'm not a fan of locking knives. I am a slippie type of guy, so, it never really appealed to me. It was cool to own a piece of history, but I decided it would be better off in the hands of someone who is actually going to use it.

Yup-got me one ......don't use it now but its always ready! I carry a buck prince a lot,thin,don't know its in my pocket.If i'm gonna hang something off my belt-the 110 was replaced by the first leatherman pst i had my hands on.Currently the core got the old 110's spot.

crls1 · **Reply #29 on:** July 24, 2009, 04:47:58 AM

I have one, the finger grooved one. If it weren't for the Manix, the 110 would be my hiking foldoing knife.
