My Old Buck 110

[RobesonsRme.com]

Sorry to be late responding to the last several posts. I kind of thought this thread was dead, and I had disabled the AAPK notification option.

I don't have a Ranger patch, as I never took that training course. I do have plenty of SF stuff, including my beret from 5th Group, a ChiCom double chambered lubricant container, etc that I could use.

I don't know what the active duty SF guys are carrying these days.

I like this knife so much that I'd carry it now, if I didn't consider it irreplaceable.

Maybe, I should buy another. I've watched several older 110's on Ebay. Don't know if a newer one would be the same. I guess they haven't changed that much.

No, a newer one would not feel the same. I think you would like the older one like you have better. The thin,square frame, thinner width and long clip of the blade, plus the old 440c steel. Worlds apart from a new 110. Don't get me wrong, the new 110's are still the best lockback folding hunter being made, but you can't beat the timeless "feel" of a classic . You are right, yours is not replaceable. Maybe you can pick up an older one on ebay as a user. I think you'll be happy.

hi charley
i collect the newer 110's mostly but have some of the old ones also
Joe is correct the engraving can be easily removed
to a stright buck collector the mil provenience is not that important
to a military collector it is valuable!
to a buck military collector it is invaluable!

i would NOT use it at all!!!!!
if you miss the one
you can watch the auction sites and any with
brass rocker pin will show up offten
they bring a lot if like new

you could pick up one for as little as 40 $
once in hand it could be one of the rare ones Joe said of

Thanks, David. I appreciate all you've said.

And thank you, too, for your service. Run Silent, Run Deep. Special kind of folks. Don't know why anyone would prefer to be under water when there are perfectly good airplanes to jump out of!

I do now have a nice older Buck 110 as a user.

Thanks to all that have responded to this thread.
