Basic BUCK 110 Care and Maintenance - 2023!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Huh

WD and 3/1 or mineral oil. Let me know how you make out.

The 110 is all smooth now. It definitely had some buffing compound or something gritty inside. The WD douching blew her out clean. Now working open/close wial the TV shows me something stupid. 😸

Thanks! You too!

You're welcome!

put a drop of oil in it after that wd40 dries out

Should be fine.

Mineral oil for food prep

Recurves have their place, but a 110?

@@JohnnyJuke I sent it back for a replacement. Whoever was grinding that blade must have been having a bad day! Lol. Before I even took it out of the package I could tell the blade didn’t look right, but their QC is pretty suspect.

I've read about a lot of problems with those Buck anniversary models.

Never had it. This is one of my mods.

Mineral Oil

Garmin Tactix Delta. One goes beep beep and the other goes deep deep😎

I have a video on centering the 110. Work the sheath with your hands for a day or two, bending and squashing etc. Use a mink oil or saddle soap and work it in. Hope this helps.

@JohnnyJuke Thanks, I 'll check the video. I was thinking about castor oil at first but then I found saddle soap in horseriding gear stores. Never heard of it before tbh. The ingredients are common though.

Don't try to soften the sheath because it can change the shape. It's a 'friction fit'. You want the sheath to soften over time and mold itself to the knife. Break it in by wearing it.

@johnobannon2291 excuse my inexperience but like others, I too notice that the tight sheath pushes the blade edge against the lock. Should I just wait till it breaks in and disregard the edge touching the back?

@@Thrael72008 You could work the sheath in a little with your hands as suggested above. I wouldn't use any chemicals though personally, but the heat from your hands will work well to open the leather up after 5 minutes or more. But also, there is a gap between where the edge of the blade rests when it's closed, and the inside of the lock where the blade could actually touch the lock. So there's some breathing room in there even if the sheath feels tight. But is it squeezing the knife so much that it's pushing in the lockback? If so then the sheath was probably just made a little smaller (it won't accidentally be a 112 sheath because then it wouldn't be long enough to close the snap on the sheath, 112s are a little shorter). If it's tight enough to compress the lockback, break in the inside a little bit with an old pocket knife first. Edit: After reading your original post again, you may just have a slightly bad production (Blade off center and such). Remember that 110s have a warranty and you could send it in for the production defects to be repaired for free. Their website certainly has the full details.

No bearings. Water ok, for cleaning. Dry and mineral oil.

Yes if you dont keep wiping it down. The oil and wd will only remain in the pivot areas. Mineral oil is recommended for food.

@@JohnnyJuke oh ok I forgot you used food mineral oil… I use kpl original

Can I do the cleaning with hot water only? And not use wd40

Yes.

@@kingsmoke1855 mineral oil attracts tons of gunk/dust though I still use it. Even with the tiniest drop you'll see it coming out onto the blade weeks later

Unfortunately, I can't dedicate an entire channel to this content, but I would if I could!

No worries Johnny, I like your style. Most one-topic tubers get boring eventually. It's a favorite topic of mine and led me to this channel. That's where I found your music. It strikes a chord (hehe) with me as well.@@JohnnyJuke

Is he trying to say cosmoline? I don't get the joke apparently.

@@treborkroy5280 It stems back to previous videos - an 'inside' joke type of thing. It's a pun on the origin of the blade I believe.

Much appreciated my friend. Your comment is worth more than any coffee!

Depending on your skill level, you could fix it yourself or send it back to Buck and they will repair it or put in a new blade for you, they have a great warranty.

My pleasure and thanks!

Better taste & smell to boot.

@@richardkut3976I didn’t know mineral oil had a smell

@@KE8NUF Hello, I must have not been clear, petroleum oil has the older. I use mineral oil, it's great for antler also rehydrates & helps keep them from cracking. Take care,

Should use that forever warranty and get the blade replaced for the other one
