Anyone here carry a Buck 110/112?

[BigRed]

Gift me that bodacious knife, and and I can practically guarantee that your Moderator Credentials will be forthcoming !

I have a good knife.

I have a good knife.

Some of the inlaid handle material I recognize.....but not all of the blocks. Seriously, that's a cool knife !

Cleaned out an old truck that I am sad to see go.

Found this in it...

Some folks like to screw around with Buck 110s

Is that a Buck?

Looks a lot like Shrade style bolsters.

Ooooo, old thread revive. Yep, roadside find probably 10 years ago. Took it home, cleaned it up, paid a buddies dad to put a good edge on it (i was 17 and didnt know how to sharpen knives). Some years later i got tired of it floating around my pocket so i drilled and tapped it, made a clip for it out of an old sawzall blade, and finished it off with some brass screws to match. Its from 81-86, but thats about all i know. Carry it daily along side a leatherman wingman.

Yep. The serrations in the handle were in it when i found it.

This thread has me looking for my old Buck.
Found the Shrade but the Buck eludes me.

I believe you are correct....Good eye!

I keep kicking around the idea of a 110 auto.

Anybody have one? (Did not look at every post in the thread)

 

[BigRed]

Not a 110....but only five away!

I think I am going to start adding this to the hunt kit for getting through the sternum/rib in field dressing.

I still like leather sheaths MUCH more than nylon, plastic, etc. YMMV.

A good knife and a good pistol belong in leather. Buck 110's are the 1911 of knives.

Had not read the thread.....glad I took the time to go back and do so.

Good stuff! (Saw a few posters I don't see much...wish I saw more of them.)

There is a strong measure of truth in that!

 

[BigRed]

How fast and strong is the opening of the blade?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I have a 110 in my hunting pack, another in my camping gear. Usually ends up as a camp knife or general purpose. Haven't carried it for a long time.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

That's hawwwt.

 

[BigRed]

My Grandfather often carried one in the center front of his bibbed overalls....right next to the pencil he would often sharpen with the Buck.

Some damn good memories right there!

It opens very fast and strong. Still, there's a warning that the knife is not to be used for "heavy duty". (whatever that means)

Perhaps prying and hammering nails and such.
