I own a 110 and just got my first 112 love both. Edc it everyday grab it over my spyderco's, or any other knife I own. These are real mens knives. Those who say there to heavy do some pushups, tie up your skirts and be a man. Great vid man.
Great video excellent knives, the history of Buck Knives is interesting. The 110 costs $70 delivered in 2024, Still a fair price for a high quality knife.
I've had the 110 all over the Alaskan woods on the seas And now all over west idaho it's a work horse Just ordered the 112 auto it's going to be awesome I recommend to everyone Good video bro
Great video. I ended up getting a Case Kickstart folder because my grampa machined his own 110 and 112 in his shop out of 1095. Only thing is he never sharpened it and wanted me to keep it the way it was. Lol
I purchased my Buck 110 in the early 1970’s for $20.00. From this video, the sheath has declined in quality. The Buck 110 is a true classic. Today, the Buck 110 competes with the Spyderco Paramilitary 2, or Bench made 940. The Para Military 2 , with S110V is 3.5” @ and much lighter and better knife characteristics. The Buck 110 is a nostalgic knife.
I just purchased my first Buck 110. I normally carry one of Buck's pocket knives day to day but felt I needed to have something more substantial for a few days I'll be spending in the Bighorn Mountains soon. Great review!
Good to know they will do heat treating for people. Have you ever made your own knife? I got some used 16” concrete saw cutting blades. I have thought about making a blade with one.
Every video I wach on the 110 has nothing bad to say about the knife. I believe I'm going to buy one. After all can't go wrong with a $20 knife that nobody can find anything wrong with it. Hell I'm sold lol
Kills the most dangerous game just as easily too... Nothing quite like having a Buck knife on your hip. Beats all these pretentious super steels and pocket sharks most carry these days who only use their knifes to open Amazon boxes.
Hi great video review thanks, im planning on getting one of them but i can not make up my mind , in your opinion what one do you think is better ? Thanks
I’ve carried a 110 for several years every day and love it. I’ve used and abused it about as much as someone can and it never fails. I must say I’m seriously considering switching to the 112 for edc as the 110 is quite large and after switching professions I don’t use my knife NEAR as much as I use too and no longer need as big of a knife. Cant go wrong with any buck!!!
It depends on your preference and use. The buck will be more durable and heavier without a pocket clip. Spyderco would be lighter, less durable but have a pocket clip.
I own some buck 110s and a couple of 112s and I love them. I also have a few Spydercos-the Shaman ( Spydie edge=serrated), Manix 2 XL, the Tenacious, and the Civilian. I carry my Shaman, Buck 110, and 112 daily. I may rotate the Manix 2XL with the 110 day to day. I feel the Shaman and the Manix 2XL, and the Manix 2 are the most durable Hard-use knives Spyderco has out. Personally, I do not think you will go wrong with either of the Knives mentioned.
Both these models have the same serious design flaw. Unless handled rather delicately, the blade can "overclose", its edge making contact with the frame. This can render the most carefully applied edge an absolute waste of time.
You know, people keep telling the story of the man who killed a bear with a Buck 110. I encourage people to look it up, but by the man’s own account, he was able to stab the bear. Which got the bear to release him, and then he shot the bear. I think the truth is far more interesting than the myth.
I read the story, he slit the bear's throat with the buck knife and knock it down with a punch. The bear didn't get up. And he grab his gun and shot it to make sure it's really dead. So he did kill it with the knife if that account is correct.
Great review!! Also worth noting that you can custom order a 110 with a bunch of options including getting a s30 blade. I ordered one and it has the Bos emblem on it from when they still put his emblem on it about 10 years ago
Both of the knive models in this video can be opened one handed by holding near the spine of the blade with a downward flick. The handle will drop and lock in place. See Blackie Thomas's video. It's definitely old school, but it works. Great knives thanks for sharing.
You sound a lot like doctor frunkey and have a similar vibe! Btw I love the buck 110 and 112! My 112 has the silver nickel bolsters with g10 handles and the s30v blade steel. I own a lot of high end knives and midtechs but my fave are still these two knives!
