Whats a good price for an un-used older 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.

Whats a good price for an un-used older 110?

Post by guitar1580 »

I'd like to get a basic 110, unused in box, with no blemishes, from the 1980s or 70s, possibly a finger grooved one. I'm not really a collector, and I may use it a little.... I mostly just prefer older items over new, as the quality seems better. What would be a good price for one on the forum or on ebay? Any ideas? Thx,

Un-used in box from the 70's are getting harder to find, and can come close to or even pass the $100 mark. 80's would be cheaper and easier to find. Finger grooves were not available in the 70's (?). As far as being better, i agree due to the 440c used in the older BUCKs. But BUCKs being what they are, even the new ones kick butt ::nod:: .
An 80's , NIB, would cost around $45 to $65 , really depends on the many variables ( dots, sheath low or high rider, etc...) and how much some one else wants it on ebay. Let me know if i can help you out, i may be able to hook you up.

I must say I have been impressed with the new Bucks I seen.
All their heat treating, for the stuff made in Idaho, is done by Paul Bos, and there just ain't nobody better at heat treating stainless steel than Paul Bos, IMHO.
