Your 110.

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

I truly believe that the 110 is one of the best made modern lockback you can buy.There solid as a rock.
The one I have and use has always been a top-notch since 1991 it has about out lasted its leather case.
Great looking knives guy's.

I have just ordered my first Buck knife, a 110 model with finger cutouts, And I am waiting on the postman to bring it to me so I can see what everyone is talking about. Elsewhere on this forum I read that my long time fave, ( I own 7 Schrade LB-7's) knife was a copy of the Buck 110. I bought the Schrade back in high school in the early 1980's and everyone always said, ''Nice Buck knife''. Honestly thought buck knife was a slang term for the type of knife it is. I can't believe I have gone so long not knowing what a real Buck knife really was. It has always been just an apendage of my hands, a don't leave home without it, kind of tool. If the new Buck is half of what everyone says it is I will make room in the drawer for my every day carry LB-7 knife. The Schrade is a fine piece and i have always been proud of it. But I would feel less cheated if I carried the real deal and not a re-branded copy.

My new Buck 110 arrived. The build date on the box read March of 2015. I must say that I am very pleased with this. It really feels like it was made to last a very long time. It was barely out of the box when I decided to have it personalized with a monogram done at the local jeweler. It has become my daily knife and I will be ordering a custom for myself from Buck and maybe another as a gift to a good friend of mine.

Stone, welcome to Buck knife ownership; you picked a nice one for your first Buck! Nothing wrong with the Schrade USA LB7 knives either (I like mine) but for a lockback folding hunter Buck is the original. OH

Thanks, fellas

For some reason the photo doesn't show the finger grooves very well. But I did opt for that when ordering it. The 110 was released in 1964, making us both fifty years old at the same time. This years birthday I plan on ordering the nickel bolster version with polished blade and have the engraver go nuts on it.

In my quest for one of everything, late this spring I picked up one of these 50th Anniversary 110's with the leather sheath. I know dogg will be giving me the stink eye because I don't plan to take it out of the packaging.

Jerry D! Welcome to the Buck 110 club - whether you take it out or you don't take it out - it's still your Buck 110! That package with the leather sheath was harder to find than with the nylon sheath during 2014. OH

:D got this 110 given to me a few years back, not sure what year it is but I believe it to be pre 68? Just has "Buck" stamped on the blade and has the older style thin black leather sheath. Also notice the shallow nail nick, and no model number stamped on the back of the sheath. any more info? thanks, Terry ::handshake::

Terry,

That 110 looks like a 3rd Version, Variation 1 made in about 1967. If you look again the inverted tang stamp actually is BUCK*.

::tu:: My first 110 I bought when I was in the Navy in 1968, carried all thru my enlistment and then sold it to a friend after I got out. I bought a new 110 and a 50th 110 both are still in the package. I now use a '74 110, it's a great solid old knife. ftd

I still have the original sheath to this knife, but I carried it in a Victorinox sheath today. Here it is with the other portion of today's carry--a 1961 Imperial MIL-K "Demo" scout style knife.

This knife was originally my great uncle's and was made from 1974-1980. I wanted a Buck 110 for ages, but never got around to getting one until I inherited this. I've contemplated getting a current model, and I saw a $15 one of identical age and condition I might get so that I can retire this one. Buck's sheaths are some of the best I think any maker has to offer, especially the 110's.

Forget "lightweight" Zytel and FRN (which all feel cheap, especially if they're without liners). The brass and Dymondwood that make up the handles give this knife a perfect feel in hand when using it. I can handle the toughest of farm and outdoor chores with this knife. It's had some damage, having been sharpened on a grinder by my great uncle, and being used as a hammer--a lot.
