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.

: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.

I picked these up at a local thrift store for 5 bucks each.
One is a buck*110*, the other is an inverted Buck USA with two pins in the handle and brass pivot. The third doesn't belong here but is a 1970's Gerber Magnum

WhiteMountain - welcome to the Buck Sub-Forum and to AAPK - glad to have you here! You sure got your $5.00 worth on those Buck's (Gerber too I would imagine). For $6.95 each plus shipping the Buck Knife Spa at the plant in Idaho will make your two Buck knives look like new - to include shaping the blade back to original design and sharpening. Again, welcome! OH

Thank you "Old Hunter" I might have to do that. They are not in too bad of shape, but it sure would be nice to have them back to the way the were when new.

Really great scores for $15 total! Unfortunately, thrift stores here don't carry knives, and when they do, it's some piece of bargain bin junk with an excessive price tag stuck to it.

Well, it's from Buck as a buck custom shop knife but I'm guessing it was done by remer stone. There is one just like it except the steel and chip flint about to end on the auction site.

That pic really doesn't do it justice. I told the man I bought it from that his pics didn't do it justice. It's a fabulous knife. All nickel silver, no brass.

My 110 is from the late 1970s.
I carried it while in the US Coast Guard. An older CPO took out a little home made s/s fixie and carved my S in the brass end in fancy Old English!
