All About Pocket Knives

I would say that will be a must have.

^^^WHAT SMITH SAID^^^^^^^^^

Glad to see Buck build one for the knife market. I will be interested in handling one and perhaps owning one. OH

Wonder if it will have a big CHINA on the tang?

The picture above says USA on the tang. Picture will enlarge, probably will be pricey.

That would be the living end

I've never seen, or heard, of a Buck 110 being made anywhere other than in the good ole USA. OH

And we don't want an auto to be the first

The last place I saw it listed, the knife will be less than $140.00. Come on, folks. The 1958 Switchblade Control Act did nothing to control crime and, for the most part, impeded little but lawful enterprise. This is one of the most historic knives since the establishment of the Korn Patent.

Embrace it!

Here's Buck's Shot show releases. There's a little bit in there about the auto 110.

That's mighty tempting. Here in KY with a CCDW permit you can legally carry an automatic knife. That would be a serious contender for me.

Same for me. I've had a Buck 110 and 112 for the better part of 40 years. I always had one with me at work on the loading docks and on every hunting or camping trip. When we were kids we always tried to get them to open with a flick. I'm at a stage now where it takes a pretty special knife to get me excited. I've already reserved a couple with Knife Center.

Unless Post Falls is outside of Peking, the 110 Auto will be manufactured entirely in the US of A.. (I want one with Buffalo Horn Scales, finger grooves and a custom S30V steel blade).

Oh, yeah!

Sorry I missed your post, wazu.

That looks really good. I can't see this being a limited issue.

I received my new Buck 110 Automatic today. I like it. I'm still playing with it some, but here are some initial impressions.

First, it is the only Buck 110 Automatic that I know of with a factory warranty. You have to like that. Second, the fit and finish is excellent.Third, the knife is very responsive. When pushing the activation button, the blade responds in a hurry with a very audible click and locks up tight every time (so far). Fourth, the activation button is fairly flush to the handle scale, making carry in a sheath no problem at all. And, fifth, I believe the price is very reasonable compared to what some folks get for aftermarket versions. Made in the USA. (Have to love that!) And, finally, it comes with the standard Buck 110 leather sheath.

When closing the blade, there is obvious pressure on the spring, and when you get it fully closed you will hear another very audible click. That's a good thing IMO. Some may find it will take two hands to close the blade. Also, so far it appears the only way to open the blade is by pressing the activation button. (I know of aftermarket 110 autos that allow opening the blade manually.) Another difference I see is that the overall thickness of the Buck 110 Automatic is greater than a standard Buck 110.

I am surprised, however, that there was no 'Owner's Manual' or instructions that briefly detailed operating instructions and any care and feeding tips. Not that it takes a genious to know you are supposed to press the button to open the blade and press the release in the usual place to close the blade, but maybe there are some other things owners should know.

Again, so far I like it alot. Well worth the wait. (I had my order in for months.) As far as I can tell, it is a good value for the price. Looks just like the picture above. This one will get some use.

Hardman, Is it still tight after playing with it for a couple months? I want one, but it would be good to hear about the durability first.

There were some on gunbroker and Smokey mountain knifeworks had some too if anyone is interested.
