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.

Just look at the end of the rear bolster and if it's all brass it's a V1-V1. The box ,paperwork and especially the shieth are valuable too. The very earliest shieth's were made with modified 500 leather shieth and will show a 500 stamp. Extremely rare and worth looking for. I have seen a V1-V2 also have the 500 modified shieth as early 112's have few hard and fast rules. But check that shieth!
