I've got a few folding knives already, but wanted something a little more "classic". When reading reviews for the Buck 110 I kept reading about guys who have had their knives for twenty years and they were given to them by their fathers and they intend to give theirs to their sons and on and on... Then I remembered my father having a similar knife in his sock drawer (not sure if it was a Buck or a knockoff) and I used to sneak in there and admire that knife when he wasn't looking, so there was a little bit of nostalgia for that knife with me too. So I ordered one from Amazon to get in on this bit of tradition with the Buck 110 hunting folder.
Now that I own one I thought I'd give a few points of interest as I see them:
Beautiful! - Modern knives just don't look as cool as this: Polished wooden handles over brass bolsters, smooth lines, a simple, razor sharp blade... Sorry, but I just don't like this tactical craze taking over our knives these days. Oh and speaking of blade:
Sharp! - This knife did indeed shave hair off the back of my hand the second I took it out of the box. Same went for my Buck 119. Kudos to Buck!
Heavy! - Alright so tactical knives might have a point here (no pun intended). A good quality tactical knife will usually be a lot lighter then this 110 folder from Buck. And ALL that weight is in the handle; even with the blade fully opened the point of balance is near middle of the handle. Great for control and fine work.Wouldn't it be nice if we valued function over form like they seemed to back when the Buck 110 first appeared
Two-handed opening - Yeah I know, I know, if you break it in, maybe lube it up a bit, there are ways to open it one-handed but an assisted opener with a thumb stud or something similar is just easier to deploy quickly and then (and this is the kicker) to be able to fold it back up with one hand makes modern-style folders more viable for me at work. So I tend to carry the Buck 110 with me everywhere else when I don't care how much time it takes me to unfold my knife.
Overall I'm very happy with this knife. Can't wait to put it through its paces and make it my own. Definitely recommended and from what I've seen so far, Buck is a brand you can't go wrong with.

The Buck 110. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Photo is of my Buck 110 next to my dads. He has carried this knife on his side everyday since I can remember. Good steel and locks up tight.
By Jason
Classic looks. RAZOR sharp from the factory. Buck's warranty is unbeatable. A made in America knife in 2012 that is quality workmanship with a warranty to back it up.
The leather sheath is perfect.
I added a thumb stud for one handed opening.
You can't go wrong with a knife that you know will last 50 years+

Wow! Is the first thing that came to mind when I unboxed this knife. I currently have one of these that my father had acquired back in the the 1970's and there is a world of difference between the two! Buck has made some improvements to the grip, making it a lot more sleek and comfortable, along with adding a nice shine and protective coating to the wood accents on the grip.
I must commend Buck for continuing to make this product right here in the USA! Now, I've also heard that Buck also makes another line of these knives (that are made in China) designed to be sold a mass retailers like Walmart. With that being said, I must also commend Amazon for staying true to it's consumers and selling the USA made knife. Way to go guys!
This knife arrived absolutely stunning out of the box! And considering what I paid for it, you can consider me a new Buck customer for life! Thanks Buck!

The first day I got it. I cut my finger'It's really very sharp. FML!
I prefer straight knife'cause it should be more tough and tensile'
But'I'm a chinese & I lived in chinese mainland,straight knife is controlled knives here''even a kitchen knife should be registered when World Expo is holdsing in ShangHai''
So, I am left with nothing better than the second choice.and'the BUCK 110 don't let me down'compare to straight,it is no less in tough and more Convenience'
I admire you Amercia guys that you can possess straight knife,composite bow'crossbow'even gun by freely.and I hope my offspring will have ave democratic rights in the not far distant future'
My English is poor'Pls Forgive

When this knife first appeared for sale, I was a young man attending a rural high school. Like most of my male classmates, whether hunters or not, I longed for this knife. It was a totally new design for folding knives--big with a stainless steel blade and that blade was really long and really pointed. I don't remember how much it sold for at the time but it was very expensive to us country boys. Most of us settled for Schrade or Imperial pocket knives which were smaller, lower in price and served the purpose of country boys. Over the years, the 110 faded from my radar and I never owned one until recently.
When I saw Buck was celebrating the 110's 50th year anniversary, I decided it was time to finally own one. Because Amazon's pricing was so good, I actually ordered two of them--one that I might use occasionally and one that I could keep in reserve. The fact is, I doubt I ever use the 110. I no longer hunt and my camping and hiking is limited these days. But I like good cutlery and the 110 is a fine piece of cutlery history as well as continuing to be a fine tool for its purpose.
This 50 year anniversary 110 is decked out in nicely finished rosewood grip panels and wears a 50 year medallion. The word "Buck" doesn't appear anywhere on this knife, however, the anvil trademark is prominent on the blade tang. Anyone who knows anything about knives knows the Buck 110 and knows it doesn't need an advertising logo to announce its pedigree.
The handle is more rounded than the original 110--I remember the original being pretty slab-sided. The blade still looks like the original design to me, with a lot of belly and a swooped-up clip point. The blade is pretty thick and the grind maintains this sturdiness. This is a tough knife but no folding knife is as strong as a one-piece sheath knife so don't overdo it when putting the 110 to work. It's a knife, not an axe or pry bar. The blade locks up tight with only the slightest bit of movement front to back under heavy pressure. The release for the lock is located well back on the handle and it's fairly stiff. This prevents accidentally releasing the lock while working with the knife. The blade opens and closes smoothly with a little resistance. It has a nail nick to aid in opening but I find it is easy to pinch the blade and pull it open without needing the extra leverage. Buck doesn't polish their blades to a mirror finish, unlike some premium knifemakers, but the blade is well finished with a utilitarian look. It's designed as a general purpose knife for a hunter and it has been fulfilling that role for 5 decades. That's how it got to be iconic. For those of us who like cutlery as a tool and as a work of fine craftsmanship, the Buck 110 is something to admire.
What else can one say? After 50 years, I finally own two of these great knives and I'm very pleased and happy.

I haven't written many product reviews, but for this, I feel it is necessary.
I have been hesitant a few times to purchase one of these because I wasn't sure if the size and/or weight would be right for me and I usually like to hold something like a knife before I make a purchase.
First, the box that it came in was a nice enough package and the knife and leather case were packaged very well with tiny bubble wrap to protect against damage from shipping (not that it needed the protection).
After unwrapping the bubble wrap from the knife and leather case, the smell of oil, brass and leather filled my nose, which to me is a very good indicator of quality and workmanship. The feel of the knife it a bit heavy, but very solid and sturdy. You can see from holding and examining the knife that a great deal of attention to detail went in to the crafting of each part.
Folks, this is a very high quality product for a great price. The blade is nice and sharp out of the box and I will be happy to test it out without needing to sharpen the blade.
I am eager to get out there and dress my first buck in the field with it. Once I do, you will see an update (hopefully sooner rather than later).

The one, the only, the original... Buck knife. What more is there to say, lifetime warranty, well made, great gift or for yourself.

This is the most quality pocket knife i have ever owned, I have used it daily for over a year, and have not had to sharpen it once, you can feel how well this is made while holding it in your hand, it is quite heavy, which i like, it tells me it will last, the knife also comes with a very nice leather sheath, couldn't be any happier with this knife.

The Buck 110. I can't say much that hasn't already been said, so instead I will address some differences between this knife and other folders. 420 HC by Buck is a great steel. Not exotic by any stretch, but excellent for a knife like this. It remains easy to sharpen yet holds an edge well. Resists discoloration well. Newer steels certainly test better, but this knife performs in the real world. I can use this handy folder in place of similar sized fixed blades with no concerns. The 110 is heavy. This, to me, is good. It feels like a quality tool in your hand. It will sit heavy in your pocket, but that is why it comes with a nice leather pouch. Lightweight alloys have come a long way, but the 110 more than makes up for the added weight difference in its elegant simplicity and legendary durability. Remember, this isn't a "tacticle" knife; it's a folding hunting knife that excels at every day chores. Some have complained that the sheath is too small; not in my experience. The knife goes in with the smaller bolster down. It also helps to put a little mink oil on the sheath; it is leather after all. Considering this is the standard model for this knife, the fit and finish is excellent. Any small scratches on the brass bolsters polish out easily (look up brass polishing or ask a buddy with military experience) and the wood handles are both beautifully finished and durable. Some have said that the pins in the handles can be a little proud, but this is a self resolving problem if you use this knife. Actually, the Buck 110 will only look better with use and a little care. This durable, heavy and functional folder is an heirloom quality knife and an indispensable well made tool. No knife is the "perfect" knife in every situation, but the 110 is pretty close.
