buck 110 question

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.

buck 110 question

Post by knfcollector »

Just picked up a 1987 buck 110 that is in mint condition with a "Wolverine Boots and Shoes 1883-1987 etch"? My question is what would it be worth as I am not too versed on recent production knives. Any help would be apreciated.

Has anyone any actual suggested value for this knife rather than a range. Thanks.

I saw the same knife without the etching for sale at Wally World two days ago. Not an '87 model, but essentially the same complete with nylon sheath for just under $30 plus tax. If you buy one with the leather sheath it will likely run you a bit more.
Unless you cross paths with a Wolverine collector, you won't likely get much of a premium for that knife above current production knives. The best thing going for it would likely be the fact it was made prior to the move to Idaho, but then, so were several million others. It's a nice knife, just not particularly rare.

Well this reply is a little late and probably wont add anything to the discussion but.
The project was done in 1987 but there is very little info on it. I do not know how many were actually done which is very important in determining current value.
My best guess, which is based on what other limited edition 110's sell for, would be that if you also have the correct box and paperwork, the knife would be worth about $50 today.
I hope this helps.
