Buck 110 custom auto ID

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 custom auto ID

Post by JoeBud »

A local shop took this in on trade. From what I have read these aftermarket conversions were quite common years ago. Is there any way to ID who did it? Any info would be appreciated.

I really don’t have any idea but take a look inside the blade well. I’ve seen customizers engrave their maker’s mark on the inside liners. Not necessarily on these converted Bucks but I’ve seen it before elsewhere.

Can’t hurt to shine a flashlight down in there and have a look see.

Here’s another to ponder.
I liked this custom better than the new factory version. It’s also an Idaho stamp with finger grooves and what looks to be nickel silver hardware. Been trying to find out a little more about this variation with the round button. Any information would be appreciated!

I remember Cumberland knife did some of them as well as a few others. You could also get the tools to do these from knife kits. Com back a few and do them yourself.

I bought this around the turn of the century, and I can say it puts the Buck autos to shame.
