It is that time of year again!  Spring is in the air, and that means it is time to slip a Buck 110 in your pocket or on your belt.





For the fifth time in MTo history, Buck fans, traditional knife enthusiasts, and the very foolish will gather this April to celebrate the venerable Buck 110 with a 30-day challenge!  :tu:

Many people think the old Buck 110 is too big, too heavy, and too old-fashioned to carry for 30 continuous days. Anyone who would carry such an antiquated knife must be a glutton for punishment or a fool.

Well…we’ve run this challenge several times, and it can be done. You can do it!*

So, break out your favorite 110….or git you a new one...or restore grandad's old 110....or search the pawns shops and hidden nooks of the web to get a 'new used' 110. Carry that beast for a day…a week…30 days if you dare!  Test it out. Have fun! Find out why this knife has such a loyal following....fools or not.   :D

The Foolish Challenge Rules:

  Carry a Buck 110 everyday (for as long as health, strength, and local laws allow) for 30 days, beginning April 1, 2021*.
  Post a photo of your Buck 110 every day. Action shots are appreciated. Please label each day’s post with the appropriate label for the day of the challenge, e.g. “Day 12”.
  Additional tools maybe carried and/or used. If a tool other than the Buck 110 is used during the course of the challenge, please explain why the Buck 110 was not well suited to for that task. E.g. “the Buck 110 wasn’t OHO, so I had to use a switchblade to open my bag of Doritos.”
  Have fun! If you can’t have fun with a Buck 110….you can’t have fun.
  On the final day of the challenge (Day 30), please give a summary of your experience  with the Buck 110. Did it work as expected? Was it too heavy? Too bulky? Did you need ACE wraps and ibuprofen to make it through the challenge? Was your chiropractic bill more than your expected? What was your favorite method of carry?
  Like last year, we will celebrate the Buck 110 with a give-away of....a Buck 110, of course. To qualify for the give-away, a participant must complete this year’s challenge.












*Participation in this challenge is strictly voluntary and should not be attempted by the infirm, feeble, careless, accident-prone, aichmophobes, or anyone with a musculoskeletal disorder. Given the obvious rigors of this challenge,  it is advisable for participants to check with a medical provider prior to starting this challenge. MTo cannot be held liable for any injuries incurred while carry or using the 110. Don’t be foolish with your knives.

Sadly.... :cry:...I'm busy in the Soldier On! challenge....
I'll be following this challenge closely, probably with a bit of envy, but I won't be able to participate.
Nevertheless, do sign up and keep this tradition alive!  :tu:

One day I will do this challenge, but not this time as the soldier challenge is still running and I don't have a 110 yet :facepalm:

Does the knife need to be the classic Hunter or can it be one of the other variations I see on Buck's website?

Nix is the official judge of this challenge, but in the past I believe any Buck 110 has qualified.

 :iagree:   The challenge allows for any variation of a genuine Buck 110.   :tu:

Many people think the old Buck 110 is too big, too heavy, and too old-fashioned to carry for 30 continuous days.
The smurfbirds who run the city I live in certainly feel that way. That's the main reason I've yet to pick up a 110. However, I do own a Buck 112 Slim Ranger, which I believe is at least slightly related to the 110.

I reach for the Slim Ranger more often than my Spyderco Delica.

The 112 is a great pocket knife. We did a 112 challenge once, probably should do one again.   :tu:

I might do this... maybe.

A 110 was on my list when I first got a bulk order of knives to build my collection out at first way back in 2012, so it'd be nice for the old boy to get some more love.

It has a thumbstud on it for practicality, depending on how expensive another one is a variety might be assembled  :dunno:
Check out my Youtube channel  for gear reviews, comparisons, and carry philosophy.

Love belt carry? Consider doing the Batman Challenge!
