THE 50 year 110,Gut one yet

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.

I realize in some circles showing perceived disrespect to the great American Classic 110 is considered sacrilege and blasphemy but it just doesn't get my juices flowing. I'm much more up for a Sirus, Impulse or a Spitfire. Doesn't mean I'll throw the 110 away, give it away or sell it but it won't be the pride of my pile. Sorry fellers.

Absolutely no offense taken, my friend. I was only kidding. But I did really purchase 3 of them.

garddogg! I was on a Gearing class destroyer 700 and up hull numbers, later on I was on the U.S.S, Lockwood F.F 1064 I stood watch in the engine room, it only had 1, but sorry I have no pictures. A snipe is a name that all engineers , MM's, BT's and all types of hull rates are referred to, above the decks are usually called deckapes. ftd

Came across a Buck 110 50th Anniversary last week in a local gunshop. The gunshops around here stock Buck products packed in boxes (with the leather sheath, in lieu of the nylon sheath in the blister package the chain stores have). This one was packed on 1-2-14. OH

Santa brought me one, my first 110, boxed like OH's above. The fit and finish on this is real nice. No wonder Buck has done so well with this lockback for so long.
