Just started carrying my 110 again (great blade) I had a hard time getting used to the size,,,but it's just such a great feeling knife, and the design brings back nostalgic memories of my child hood in the rural North East...the one I have I got in trade without a sheath so I just made an open top leather sheath with a wax treat.. Looks and is trad but holds the knife like kydex..Although my skill leave a little to be desired in the asthetics department. but either way great classic knife to be sure... Just spreading the love.
 
I've never had one, but during the course of my life that's the knife I've seen people's hips more than any other.
 
got a nephew in iraq (1st inf. div.) that wears the 110. BUT he carries it hidden because higher-ups dont want the iraqi citizens to see a "butcher" knife. he was issued a leatherman tool.
 
I like the 110, but actually prefer the 112. The same qualities only smaller, and easier to carry. Its a solid worker, and people are used to seeing it(thats a big plus)

Entire forum here for the Buck nuts (me included).

I'm in the sandbox now and carry a 110.

Those guys from the 1st who are concerned about a 110 should have seen the kid I saw a few weeks ago with a full sword stuck down the back of his armor! It had been there a while too. Whatever gets a guy through.

Here's one I picked up several years ago. BG-42 and "Frenchwood".
 
Ummm....sort of. I am more of a Schrade guy.:)

I am not sure but I think the 110 might have influenced the 7OT;):D

I'm sure the Buck 110 will go down in cutlery history as the most prolific all American knife of the 20th century. When I was in the army, just about EVERYBODY had one on thier hip after about 1967ish or so. By 1970 the black pouch was common sight in most of America. You could even say, that Buck made carrying a knife bigger than a pen knife vogue, and paved the way for the flood of lockblades that led tot he tactical knives.
 
babakanoosh45, Those are nice Knives and Arms but you watch appears to be stopped the second hand isn't moving...
 
That is probably the second most common knife around here, with the Case Trapper (yeller handle) being first. It should also be noted that due to the 110's extreme popularity, it is referred to as a "Buck Knife." If you say Buck Knife, everyone knows what you're talking about. Every other knife of that particular pattern is also called a Buck Knife, regardless of maker. I have both a 110 and a Schrade 70T, and I've long since stopped correcting people when I have the Schrade and someone asks to see my Buck Knife. It's an awesome design and non-threatening enough that it can be carried, around here at least, without raising an alarm.
 
The 110 is definetely a classic... I gotta go with Peter though, I prefer the 112.

Babba... Nice pics. Looks to be an early Rem 700. The checkering on the older ones is very classy. I wish they still made them like that. Although they are fairly hard to find, some of the early ones came with stainless barrels that were blued.
 
Any love for the buck 110??

I love mine... so much that now I have over 50 of 'em. I only wish Buck sold them with a "one-armed-bandit" as an attachment!

I've liked the 110 from the first day I saw one. It's just a great all round EDC.
 
I have a Bucklite 422 in green from 89, which is the same size as a 112.

I carried it when I was in the Israeli Army.
The nylon sheath is a little faded, but the knife is still wicked sharp!
 
Count me in. I've been carry this one off and on since 91, and dressed my first rabbit with it too!
