Anyone edc a buck 110/112?

I had a pocket sheath made for my 110’s. It’s leather and about the size of a soft eye glass case (with a pocket clip). It works pretty well.
I like the idea of a belt sheath and do use them occasionally, but I just hate having anything heavy hanging from my belt.

Sounds far fetched. When your online a little window pops up and it's a live person from Buck who is there to help you, when you call they have a sales dept. They always answer.

And if your on the website after business hours you can still leave a message and they get back with you when they open.
I had a question on a custom shop order and the rep I spoke with on the phone followed the order thru to completion to address my concern.

They may not be perfect, but I have never dealt with any company that tries harder to satisfy their customers than BUCK.

I think most "QC" problems are actually ocd problems.
 
Back to the original question, the first knife I ever bought for myself was a 110 back in 1972 as a birthday present to myself. I carried that knife nearly every day for the until the summer of 1990, when I replaced it with a 112. I switched to the 112 to drop a little bit of weight as I shifted the 110/112 to my duty belt when I certified as an EMT, since the gear belt already had a brick style radio, a pocket mask, glucometer, glove carrier, Kabar shorty fixed blade, EMS shears, spring punch and a couple pouches for other supplies.

I dropped carrying the 110 when the lighter weight 424 came to my attention in the late 90s.
 
I have been collecting rare,odd,1of1 112's since 2007..I really like the new Slims and especially the Slim Pro plus in S35VN. It was the sharpest knife of any kind I have ever owned. The first pic is my EDC rotation for a while now including a Custom bareheaded 'Lil'Jack' by SK in D2. So far it's the only D2 112 Buck has made. Second pic is Bucks latest Buck of the Month with Cocobolo handles by Taylor guitars with a drop point S35VN blade. I really like S35VN but Bucks regular 420 with heat treatment by BOS worked well for me for many years! The 112,especially with a drop point blade, is about perfect..20200117_120103.jpg 20200118_164902.jpg
 
I decided to treat myself for my birthday and finally ordered Buck 110 Pro s30v. I thought I'd get the updated version to suit my boring black and silver preference. The updated steel doesn't hurt either. I should get it today, can't wait!
 
This is my first ever Buck knife. My last knife purchase of 2019. It's the aluminum frame model so it's light for its size and great in the office or the field. We're still getting to know each other but I really like it so far.

I had the time to play around with the newly arrived Buck 110 Pro and it's a sweet knife! I won't be carrying it as EDC blade, but something of an outdoors / camping sort of knife. I have been wanting something like this for a while but I'm glad I finally got it. Also I have to say that this thing came razor sharp from Buck!

The ridge on the blade gave me a little anxiety so I already made a small sharpening choil for it. I think it also looks really good on the blade!

I went to local horse equipment store this friday and asked if they had any saddle leather. Indeed there was a big piece so I bought it and I had to make my own sheath for the knife. The stock sheath wasn't bad at all, but I prefer this sort of pancake sheath for it's solid sit on the belt (feels less in the way and no wiggling). I carry it about five 'o' clock on my right hand side. Not the prettiest sheath I've made but it works and should look a little better after usage! :D

Nice job on the sheath. I'll be making a pocket slip for mine, as I can't use the belt sheath at work (NYC, all knives must be concealed... go figure).

I EDC'd the Folding Hunter in its sheath when I was in LE back in the 70's. I carry smaller folders today.

I carried a vintage Buck 110 2 dot Back in the 70’s, then went to modern clip knives, but for the past several years, I’ve been daily carrying that old 110 on my belt again.

I used to carry a 112 Ranger with pride. Then some piece of slime lowlife stole it.

I bought a replacement but, it’s just not the same. I don’t have the emotional bond with the one I have now.

Pick up a 112 (or 110), it’s an awesome knife with a great history behind it’s design and production.

Every knife nerd should own one if legal to do so.

Check out Buck's Custom Shop 112s.
 
I have a couple 110s, one the standard 420HC, the other a BassPro in CPM-154, and a Custom Shop 112 with oak grips and S30V steel. I carry them all from time to time, usually in the nylon belt sheaths which I find less bulky than the leather (which are still great). More often though I carry a Buck Slim Pro in S30V: it's light, solid, and almost disappears in your pocket.
 
I had a 110 on my police duty belt from sometime in the mid 70's til I retired in Nov. of 91. Can't remember how much I used it but it looks kinda used. It stays in a drawer for the old timers now.
 
The first knife I owned and carried all the time was a nice, brass bolstered Buck, with a secondary heavy duty crosscut saw that got a lot of use (much better than the thin saws you see on most multi-tools). The pouch it was in got torn off my webbing during training out on the Prairies. I really miss that knife. I've never been able to find it since, but did eventually buy a Buck 110 for sentimental reasons. I don't carry it a lot, but it's there's a reason why a lot of knife designs copied it.
 
I used to EDC a Buck 119.

When I worked as an oilfield "Mud Man" the blade was not tough enough to stand up to cutting sacks of chemical for long. I found the tip to be fragile too.

When I worked in a hospital later on, It was too heavy in my pocket and he edges bothered me.
