There is probably a general consensus that the Buck 110 is likely the most copied knife ever made.Some may say the Case 65 pattern is but I think the Buck has many more and hasn't been around anywhere near as long.
Not only has it spawned countless copies;some good and others not so much,but it also set the stage for a myriad of variations of quite a few styles.I may post some of those later but this post will concern itself with the Buck 110 and some of the clones in a like size and some smaller(and one or two larger).
The criteria is a lockback hunter with a single clip point blade of approximately 3 inches;wood handles,and brass bolsters on both ends and possibly integral bolsters and liners. Most are identical in shape to the 110 although there are some variations in profile. So without further ado(or adon't if you prefer)here are a few from "Knife7knut World Headquarters". Please feel free to post any you might own.
#1 is the one that started it all:a Buck 110 with a custom etch on the blade(Lenawee County Friends of the NRA;where I live).
#2 A KA-BAR 1189 with very light colored handles.
#3 A Jet-Aer G-96.
#4 A Bear MGC.
#5 A Browning USA
#6 A Case 2159
#7 A Case Blade X-Changer
#8 Craftsman 95233
#9 A Schrade + LB7
#10 A Schrade Uncle Henry LB7
