Worth picking up this 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.

Worth picking up this 110?

Post by jtb »

A local pawnshop had this 110 in the shop today. It's marked "Buck Black Bear 1 of 150" It look like a 1986 date stamp. It was in the case with the paperwork including the Buck certificate of authenticity. He didn't have it priced, but told me "probably $100". I grabbed this quick photo, but it's not the best. Anyone know this model and a value?

Ditto.

There's none on ebay.....I'd jump on it, especially since it's 1 of 150!!

Pawn shops are normally willing to bargain. Offer $80 and they may counter at $90.

That was “probably $100”, so could be higher after he does some research. I believe he’d just got it. I’ll stop in this evening and check it out.

Well, I stopped by after work and it was gone. He said he sold it for $150, but who knows for sure. Thanks everyone for your input!

He probably kept it for himself. $150 for that one isn't worth it to me. These were standard 110's with 420 gold etched blades that Buck made a ton of different versions of. I have seen the deer and duck one's etched on blade out there too. For $150 you can get a custom one from their Custom Shop today with Elk scales, which in my opinion is more desirable.

Who knows. He could have sold it for $100 and just wanted to impress me, but you never know. He may have told someone $200 and the countered with $150. I didn't have a clue what it was worth, so someone else may have been the same way, but more anxious to spend their money :)
