Re: Your 110.
Nice Wazu - is that a Buck Custom Shop model or an aftermarket modification?

Re: Your 110.
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.Old Hunter wrote:Nice Wazu - is that a Buck Custom Shop model or an aftermarket modification?

Re: Your 110.
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.

Re: Your 110.
Ever think about taking the top of the clip point off and drop pointing the sucker? Might look good.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Posting pictures of the knife will be your best bet for getting info, if you can It doesn't sound familiar to me but you can bet that someone will know what it is and wether or not it's correct if they can see it

Re: Your 110.
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

Re: Your 110.
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.

Re: Your 110.
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.

Re: Your 110.
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.
Re: Your 110.
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.

Re: Your 110.
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
