110 care

Tonyb, Its usually no more than 15%, reduction live wt. to field dress wt..But was it a certified scale,what all came out and other factors come into this equation.Where I really want to head w/ this is,I've read extensive writing that whitetails of the (heartland,IN,OH,IA,KS)are heavier than mule deer.Of those taken in NM which I've kept records on the heaviest was a 225 and 230lbs..I would consider both agricultural deer not range animals.Those feeding on agricultural crops like yours w/ an inch or more of very white fat. So, this lends some validity to those writings.DM
 
Buck 110s Are pretty much bullet proof,they don't need much attention to look great and last,except when field dressing or other dirty chores gets the whole knife gummed up,then i wait til i get home and put it in hot soapy water for awhile,then right into the dishwasher for a good cleaning.Afterwards,I use a drop of fluid film on the pivot,and some mineral oil on the handles to give it the brand new look again!

Out hunting,my knives look like hell most of the time,because i use them fairly often and don't worry about "pretty" til i'm back home.LOL
 
The wood used in an outdoor wooden deck, left to the elements, will eventually warp and split.

I'm concerned that the tiny seams in the wooden handle will become larger. Is there any way to bond those tiny cracks?

Maybe I'm just exaggerating?
 
as you many of us have many of us have our own thing we do..
up tell jes 10 years ago wd 40 was choice lub sharpen using trany flood on stone
skin wire, cut muddy rope, tree roots, ext..
cut my apple or sandwich after jest a whipe off
use acholo only if i had to cut a waste line of some kind..

it was in working in a the kitchen of the VA hosp
that i was told not to use it any place around food with out proper cleaning
my use of it got me the lessons in care around food ..

we were issued the old US stamped full stainless knifes so that they could be cleaned
i do not mean to make less of any one else s suggestions on care.
use in a hosp was so very much different then any place else
there you can catch thing bonn ammy wont scrub off and clorox wont kill..
i only felt one should be aware..

here deer seldom top 80 lb field dressed
and 30 lb of wrapped meat
i have seen goats that large here
but some times you see a big one!

The wood handles are resin impregnated. I have around 40 pre 86 110's and none of those have a problem, so I don't imagine the new ones are a concern.
 
That answers my question. Thanks! The buck 112 I'm concerned about is from 1991.

Yes the oil is good for the real wood handles(not threated before)
But here is my way to preserve the handle,for eternity:get a mug or any kind of dish is deeper than the lenght of the knfe handle.fill up with veg oil,untill is same height than the lengt of your handle.Heat it up to be warm arround 80degrees in celsius.put your knife in it for a 20 minutes or so.The hot oil gets deeper into the wood.After this treatment the handle keeps the original shine,for really long time,when is start to loose it,just apply a thin layer oil again.I hope it will help!

Pack, I did not remember those before 1994 being resin impregnated.
I've noticed wiping olive oil on my early 110's helps keep this arid climate effects at bay.Mike your 112 is 425M steel.DM:)
 
Maybe they wern't....old age sucks.

But they are in great shape so just seems like they have been treated to show little or no wood deterioration....like the wood deck
 
That Macassar ebony is oily and hard, really a fine cutlery wood. Which I agree w/ you holds up well w/ little to no care.I stumbled on to a 1972, 110 last week a 3 liner.That was in fair-ok shape.He did'nt want much for it so,I bought it.After just some cleaning w/ lanolin hand cleaner that ebony looked good.My error, it was 1992 when Buck switched to the laminate handle material.So, Mike's would be the ebony.DM
 
I been using an inverted two liner all week, its laying here on my desk, to do some origami on some cardboard for knives I have mailed off.

Far as I know, the only oil it has ever had on the handles has come from this bag of fritos laying here next to it. Wood looks near as good as a new one.

Blade has scratches from poor sharpening, and some very minor bolster things. It is laying here trying to entice me to restore it.

Just another one of those roundtuits.
 
Pack, I'm glad you guys use those early two line 110's.You sort of make me nervous. I'll bet it cuts cardboard nice.These were before Buck started using cyrogenics and they still work good and have good toughness.I just really like them.George Steinzel showed me his 3 line 110,5th version,3rd variation which was the first 110 he bought and still carryies for use.If I met you in town and ask to see your Buck and you pulled that out
I'd be impressed.DM

Let me know before hand if you are coming....lol.. Otherwise you would be disappointed. I edc a Hi Lo 179 because of the slim line and the clip that snugs right in the back pocket.

This old invert is laying here as a semi recent snag off ebay. It was kind of grungy and lousy pics so you guys let he have it on the cheap. THANKS! lol
AND, it was a two knife deal. An equally or worse grungy looking thing that folds and has three blades with what I think some of yous guys call sawed up delrin handles. one of them 307 things.... Interesting thing about that one. Blades have use scratches, but doesn't look like any of them were ever sharpened. That castration blade had a couple of tiny dings in it that smoothed out some with the diamond lansky.

And since this is a cleaning thread, I loaded some gojo on one of those green scratch pads and a tooth brush and the grungy stuff came right off. Looked like it had gutted a deer and was put away without cleaning.

Both of them remind me of Gooses girlfriend Gretsnap. Not to be confused with her sister Lacksnap. :rolleyes::D

Now I gotta go figure what the hell the wife put in this coffee...
