I recently got a gorgeous custom 110 from the Buck Custom Shop.
I want to use it but hate having to wear a belt and sheath for this.
Right now, I just slipped the bare knife in my back pocket.
Does anybody see any problems with this?
Are there any other options to carrying the 110 without needing a belt and bulky sheath?
Thanks all.

I don't like the feel of any knife that size in my back pocket, especially when I sit down. On the other hand, carrying one in your front pocket may just get you alot of attention from the ladies!
 
I have a nylon horizontal belt sheath for mine. I carry it next to my belt buckle on the right side. It's not very bulky at all, I often forget it is there until I I take off my belt. You can also drill and tap one of the bolsters for a pocket clip.
 
When I recently picked up a 110 at Walmart, I was a little bummed that it came with a nylon sheath. Once I tried it in the horizontal position, I was more than pleased. I too wouldn't want a knife like that in a back pocket, especially a custom, for potential aches & pains, as well as fear of losing it.
 
Some of the Cabela's pants come with a special velcro pocket that fits a 110 perfectly and sits right in a handy spot to get at it.

Thats about the only way I'd carry a 110 in a pocket.
 
This will sound like heresy to some, but there's also the 'option' of having a pocket clip mounted on your 110. There are quite a few makers/customizers doing it.

I personally don't like the look of a clip on a 110, at least the way most of them are done ('bolted on', basically). If someone were to more cleanly (seamlessly) integrate a clip into the handle, I might favor it a little more.
 
Adding a clip to a 110?

The mob carrying torches and pitchforks will be showing up at your place tonight for sure.

:D

Yep. There it is, that 'heresy' thing.

That didn't take long... :p

For what it's worth, when I do carry a 110, I'm usually inclined to just carry it in my front pocket (sans clip). If one REALLY wants to carry the knife, a solution can be found that's suitable. You just gotta WANT IT. ;)
 
I left front pocket carry and if its a niceun, I try to remember not to keep change in that pocket. N/S and niceuns go in leather sheath mostly.

I dont like the clip on a 110 either(or any knife for that matter) but surely not a Custom Shop:eek:
 
I have a custom sheath made by a maker on here,its a custom mould half sheath with steel clip on the back,very well made and my 110 was used as the mould so it fits perfect.It was made by i think Cris Hindley,he makes awesome leather guys.
 
I'm carrying a 110 again after many years. In same place I've carried big folders all my life. Left back pocket, blade tip up, snuggled right in next to wallet. 1 oz or 7 oz, no matter to me.

If your able, do a Buck forum search on 'sheaths', there are several long threads with photos of carry methods for all size Buck knives. Front,back,side,neck, you name it.

Back pocket carry is fine, I do it all the time. Alongside my wallet or a folded up bandanna to hold it vertical. After a day or two you'll never even notice it. When wearing jeans, I sometimes carry it vertical in my front pocket. Sounds awful, but after the same day or so, it's easy to forget it's there. I think the weight issue is overblown myself.

lol! :D

i don't care much for sheaths either. i carry a 112 in my front pocket, i wear loose jeans and a leather belt most of the time so it's not a problem. a cool pocket sheath might work better tho.
