Any fans? I got my first one off Tony as a gift a few years back a cadet,there well made and I've owned a few Buck 110 and 112 and do like hunting style lock knives ,well my nephew a few years back joined the RAF so I felt he needed a good pocket knife ,well he loves it and carries it alot ,but I missed that knife,well I did a deal with a nice guy called Jim( I'm trying to get him on here lol) and the main thing I wanted was this Puma 465 Back-packer date coded 1980, he said it wasn't locking up well so I was a bit worried, well I oiled it and sat and opened and shut it alot of times and vhola sorted :tu: locks up solidly and no blade play and straight when closed,I'm well happy having one back.so show your hunting lock knives :salute:
-
Sorry, Paul. Not a fan :(
I don't mind the looks of some of them, but back locks are a "no go" for me. I have had a couple in the past, and got rid of them very quickly.
I'll take a slippy version or a fixed blade version, but me and backlocks don't get along :salute:
-
Fare enough Al :tu: me I love them as my first lock knife was a 110 copy I picked up on 1st year camp when I was 11, since then I've always liked them, I look forward to using this one as looks like it will be good for skinning and gutting fish, don't get me wrong I don't collect hunters as ones enough ,and after trying a few this ones for me :salute:

Buck 112
Got this for my 13th Birthday

I don't have any anymore, but used to have a buck 110 that carried with my SAK when I was growing up. Loved it right up to the point til I snapped the blade on a frozen bale of hay trying to cut the plastic wrap off of it.
Also, leave it to Al to be the first reply and hater in Zed's thread.

My Buck folding hunter went AWOL a long time ago. I still have some however. The three blade Fox with stag scales is the one I like best.

Any more locking hunting knife fans,Buck 110's Buck 112's Case Mako or hammerhead etc etc etc :D I've always fancied the Mako ,nice looking knife :tu:
-
Another thing I noticed is a evolution of the blade on puma blades on my model,I'm guessing due to the better quality of the older knives,sadly like many manufacturers puma do have knives assembled in China now :-\ Any way mine has a very pointy blade that's 37 years old and still going strong ,but looking at the same model over the years till now it's not so pointy,I'm guessing there Rockwell hardening is not so good,mine has the little punch Mark but I don't think the newer ones do :-\

You 4 shall not stand alone. I have an old Schrade Old timer that resembles a Buck 112

Another just in,New schrade lb8 papa bear, I had one many years ago so fancied trying a new one,have to say the fit n Finnish is really good and a solid lock and feel, came sharp out of the box, and the sheath is very well made of premium grade leather, I need to get out camping to try it out :tu:

Sure is Steve .
I know I know it's Chinese made But it's very nicely put together,yes I would love a older U.S made lb7/lb8 but there pretty hard to come by over her and getting harder all the time, I had to choose between the lb8 lb7 or 7OT ,there basicaly all the same knife and this one looked prettier :D plus my old one looked the same but oddly I'm sure my old one said lb7 on the blade but had staglon scales :think: I guess I'll have to Google ;)

That's a Beretta. Made in Italy, probably by Maserin. Includes a shot-shell extractor (12 & 20 gauge), common on Italian hunting knives, though I'm not sure why. Everyone else seems to make do without them.

I have two, both '74-'80 dates. Top is a beater with lots of blade play when not locked and some blade reprofiling. Bottom is in really good nick, came with very little use and little sharpening.

Although I am not really a fan of the Buck 110 or it's many clones I have managed to accumulate quite a few of them.My basic complaint is that they are very handle heavy(to me anyway)which can be very tiring to the wrist when working with one for prolonged periods of time. I did find a nice replacement in the Buck Titan(model 186)which is considerably lighter but I opted to remove the pocket clip and the take down tool(affixed to the rear of the knife) to make it easier to handle.The later model Titans could not be disassembled.
Some of the better clones are the Jet-Aer G-96 models in varying sizes.They seem to be a bit lighter and the squared edges can be easily rounded for a more comfortable grip.
The Case Shark's Tooth;Mako;and Change-A-Blade all suffer the problem of handle heaviness although the Shark's Tooth is a bit more comfortable with it's rounded edges.
KA-BAR's model 1189 likewise is handle heavy with sharp edges. The Kershaw Folding Field features nice finger grooves and even a half guard but is also handle heavy.Browning and Smith & Wesson had offered variants with little change from the rest.
For some reason the Puma lockbacks don't seem as handle heavy although their prices in the USA were very high.Three or four times as much as a Buck 110 back in the 1970's and 80's.Gerber offered their Folding Sportsman in several different sizes and they were nice and light but had sharp edges and didn't seem to be as heavy duty as the others.
Another reason I don't like carrying one is they are uncomfortable in your pocket and a belt carry is not an option for me due to some spinal issues.Just the weight of a 110 on my hip can cause problems.
I don't really need a large folder anymore as my son does the hunting and my knife needs are basically cutting patterns for signs of trimming rogue hairs from my lettering brushes. Most of the time I carry a medium size congress pattern(an old Henckels is my favorite)or a small custom from a couple of different makers.

Nice one Steve C! Those Jet-Aer knives are really nice.Here are mine.

Thanks for your view Ray :tu: I've never really noticed the weight but then I don't use one for long periods of time or carry one very often these days due to uk laws,there mainly a camping carry,thanks for sharing your picture as well :salute:

When I was actively employed(many years ago)one of the chores I found myself doing was cutting up large sections of heavy card board either to package an item up for shipment or cut the card board down to scrappable size. Cutting through a couple layers of heavy duty card board interspersed with large copper staples(a very quick way to dull a knife edge)can be very difficult and a heavy handled knife such as the Buck 110 will quickly put cramps in your hands.
I remember one time I had just purchased a new Benchmark Rolox folder that had a unique sliding blade mechanism using a release on the underside of the blade. While cutting through a particularly tough piece of board my small finger tripped the lock mechanism causing the blade to release and slide smartly to the rear(as it was supposed to)and grabbing the flap of flesh between my thumb and index finger rather nicely.Needless to say it was the LAST time I used that knife to cut anything heavy!For those unfamiliar with the Rolox here is how it works.It will take two posts.
-
Last two pics show it being closed and the position of the lock in relation to your small finger.
Essentially it operates by grasping the knife at the rear with your thumb and index finger and pressing down on the raised portion of the blade which cams the point of the blade upward allowing it to slide forward until it drops down and locks into the open position.To close the blade press the lock release on the bottom of the knife which levers the blade upward and using the raised portion of the blade slide it to the rear and into the locked closed position.
The mechanism was designed by Walter,"Blackie" Collins (RIP) who was one of the most prolific and innovative knife designers of all time. This was NOT a good example of his designs.
-
Here is a picture of a Buck model 186 Titan(titanium frame;I believe the first production folder to utilize titanium)compared to a standard Buck model 110.The weight is about half that of a 110.This was a 1st model which featured a small tool attached to the knife allowing it to be dis-assembled for cleaning. The kit also had extra shorter screws in it(along with a plastic blade sheath to prevent being cut while removing the blade!)to facilitate removal of the belt/pocket clip. I removed both(the tool and the clip)when I carried it because both hindered proper gripping of the handle.
There was also a later model that did not feature the take down ability. Neither model sold particularly well as I recall;probably because of the price. A standard 110 at the time was about $26 US whereas the Titan was a whopping $60! Most people who bought 110's treated them rather roughly and replaced them often so price was a big factor.
-
Great locking hunters guys :like: I have looked at Buck 110s over the years and have never been able to pull the trigger on one :whistle: Always got distracted by something else or talk myself out of it :shrug: I have a few clones and a couple lockbacks but not a real Buck ::) Great discussion and always love to read stuff that Ray puts as well :salute: :like:

That Rolox is very interesting Ray :tu: and the Ti buck is cool,I nearly got one a few years ago as had the bucklite as well as a 110 and 112 so thought that would add some bling :D but it was a bit expensive and couldn't warrant the purchase at that time, very cool knife though :drool:

Nice GLBM. Someone local has one of those aluminum "classic" model 111 for sale but I cant bring myself to part with $100 over it.
-
Here's an assortment.. The Buck 110 was a regular carry on camping and fishing trips. Cleaned a fair amount of fish and small game.
Third picture, bottom knife is a mid 90's Browning?
I've got the single blade style, the Browning model 810. I was looking for a Buck 110 in the mid 90's,, and a friend showed me a Spyderco. I thought the Spyderco seemed cheap and breakable in comparison to a Buck 110. Instead I found the Browning 810, as it was lightweight and similar enough to the Buck.
I didn't end up getting a Buck - or a Spyderco - until last summer!
Here's my Buck 110 EcoLite Paper Stone in green with the Browning 810 with resin handles and rosewood inlay at the bottom
-
I will say that I love all of my Bucks 110 variations, however, this Japanese made Browning 810 has much much tighter tolerances, and when i dis engage the lock, the blade just falls to the pointing down position. Great lockup, and you can almost not even see the line between the tang and the lock. And the palm swell makes the knife fir the hand well. And the resin makes the knife feel like it's barely there. A very knice knife.

Thank you very much, Thundah! :cheers:
Indeed, $100 is a bit too much. They are trending at that on eBay right now. But, when the summer break for school is over, I have seen them go for $60(when a lot of people are broke).
I wonder if he'd take less? That's if you were in the market for another gentlemen's folder. :think:

Seems nice, especially with the history of the knife design and all...but if I bought that, I would be yet another step in the direction away from my desired Spyderco Atlantic Salt and the New Old Stock Spyderco Rescue Orange in ATS-55 that I've got my eye on...
