Your 110.

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.

WhiteMountain - welcome to the Buck Sub-Forum and to AAPK - glad to have you here! You sure got your $5.00 worth on those Buck's (Gerber too I would imagine). For $6.95 each plus shipping the Buck Knife Spa at the plant in Idaho will make your two Buck knives look like new - to include shaping the blade back to original design and sharpening. Again, welcome! OH

Thank you "Old Hunter" I might have to do that. They are not in too bad of shape, but it sure would be nice to have them back to the way the were when new.

One is a buck*110*, the other is an inverted Buck USA with two pins in the handle and brass pivot. The third doesn't belong here but is a 1970's Gerber Magnum

Really great scores for $15 total! Unfortunately, thrift stores here don't carry knives, and when they do, it's some piece of bargain bin junk with an excessive price tag stuck to it.

Well, it's from Buck as a buck custom shop knife but I'm guessing it was done by remer stone. There is one just like it except the steel and chip flint about to end on the auction site.

That pic really doesn't do it justice. I told the man I bought it from that his pics didn't do it justice. It's a fabulous knife. All nickel silver, no brass.

My 110 is from the late 1970s.
I carried it while in the US Coast Guard. An older CPO took out a little home made s/s fixie and carved my S in the brass end in fancy Old English!

Here is my 110....
I dug it out of one of my knife boxes while looking for folding hunters. I cleaned it a little and tried to figure out the YOM.

It has a dash on BOTH SIDES of the name. I am guessing 1992 since the code says "a dash" was used that year.
BUT, why is there a dash on both sides?
All the other date codes show up on the right side of the name.....

Please.......Correct me if I am wrong......

It is 1992. At some time during the year a change was made and the tang stamp went from a dash to a double dash. I can't remember the details of the change except it is nothing that can be seen.

Only time I like to carry a knife that size is when I get my hunting gear all strapped on. Then, I want a big ole knife on my side.

Last weekend was pretty nice but that was the "catch up on chores" day...... RATS!!

I’ve carried a 110 everyday for over 30 years. This is one I modified that I really like. It is my take on the perfect 110.

Single finger groove almost like a 112. Jimping on the blade and lock button for thumb traction. Very small sharpening choil only as deep as the edge bevel.

Good looking knives, everyone.

I have had one of these fine knives for many years now, with a sheath, and have never carried it.

I still carry my standard type 110 for hunting and general outdoorsman activity but for fishing I have gone to the 110 LT - pocket or hip, you’ll never feel its there. OH
