'' BUCK '' type knives.....how many variation

Post by knife7knut »

Going through & re-photographing portions of my knife '' accumulation ''.I was struck with the number of copies of what has become the most copied knife pattern of all time;even more so than the Case 65. I was going not with the profile(which would have increased the number of examples hugely)but rather ones that have brass bolsters & liners with wood handles. Herewith I present ones I presently own. Please feel free to post any you wish to add. EDIT: I decided to include other handle materials.

Yes, while I settled on a Case 5265CV, Buck 110s and competitors' similar lock backs were wildly popular work knives during the 1970s and 1980s. You haven't pictured two close 110 copies, the very numerous Schrade LB7 and the not so well known Camillus made Remington R-9. Queen and Browning also made variations.

I like the stag on your Pumas and I like seeing Case's Changer getting some respect.

The 110 pattern was incredibly popular. I think a lot of the well known manufacturers had their own version and wanted in on the competition. Schrade (LB7, LB8) and Camillus (#9) also made similar lockback knives for Sears/Craftsman. Gerber had their Sportsman series. And Case had their shark knives (Mako, Hammerhead). Pretty sure there are a lot of others out there that some of us don't know about.
