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.

Nice Wazu - is that a Buck Custom Shop model or an aftermarket modification?

It's an aftermarket conversion and re-handle. I've wanted a NS 110 for a long time when I ran acrossed this one. I'm pretty sure it was done by Wirtz Wire. Check their link below.

Purists, avert your eyes....

I've never taken to the abrubt and too proud crown on the crux of the clip on 110. For 35 stinking years, it's just bugged me.

I've been playing around with Opinels for the couple of years. Drunk with the success of declipping cheap Opinels, I finally took the files to my 110.

Knocked off its shark like crown. Added a slight curve to the spine to better match the curve of the handle. Heres the result next to its now nervous kid brother.

Ever think about taking the top of the clip point off and drop pointing the sucker? Might look good. ::nod::

I can't make out the tang stamp but it looks like a 110 BOS

Do a search for Buck 110 BOS and see if it is a match ::shrug::

By way of introduction, here is my 110 folding hunter with finger grooves. It's a 'four dot' that I purchased in the early 80's.

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
