Buck 110 Auto ID

chazglenn3 · May 28, 2023

Hello everyone! I'm new here and joined to see if I could get some help identifying a knife I acquired a couple of years ago. I traded for it and put it in a drawer. I pulled it out yesterday and decided to find out what it was. After searching for two days I'm stumped. The closest I can find is the S30V model and mine isn't marked as such. I can't figure out how to post pictures...the knife has burlap micata handles and brushed brass bolsters. It is marked with a 2018 date code.

Jdottinger beat me to it. Deleted

Thanks for the speedy replies! That is 99% it except mine doesn't have the S30V steel blade or serial number. At least it isn't marked as such.

It could be a build out....

Same knife, it's just put together with a 420hc blade.
Builds outs tend be be sold at the company store, and maybe then resold via the internet.

I would like to see more burlap Micarta. All of the mechanical advantages of Micarta, but with in interesting visual texture.

chazglenn3 · May 28, 2023

I'm just worried that if I send it to Buck for a SPA treatment they may keep it saying that it is counterfeit. Everything about the knife looks legit to me though. Including the box and sheath.

Maybe Matt

Buck Knives Inc. will see your posts and offer some insight but I would give it a few days due to the extended weekend.

Can you email me a picture of the knife so I can take a closer look?

I agree, but it is heavy and it can get fuzzy as the big burlap fibers get released

I was not aware of your second point! Thank you for the education.

Absolutely! Where shall I send them?

And the knife in the post above from eveled shows what appears to be a Buck 110 Auto with burlap micata but no pins! I'm so confused!

Its not an auto just has no nail nick.

chazglenn3 · Jun 2, 2023

Matt thinks the knife is authentic, but also says that the black magnetic box that mine came with wasn't available in 2018, which is the date code on my blade. So weird!

That’s great news! Better an authentic knife with a questionable box than the other way around.

CHARLES what do you think an Auto is? It is an automatic blade, released by a trigger-button. What was called a switchblade in the past.

chazglenn3 · Jun 4, 2023

Yes, I'm well aware of what an automatic knife is. I'm also aware that Buck 110 folders that aren't automatic typically have a spot on the blade to put your finger nail in to help with opening. Since the knife pictured didn't have it, I thought the button may have been on the other side. Possibly a left handed version.
