Buck 110 Auto Now available!

[Daniel]

I was really excited when I received my "In Stock" notice! Ordered one right away today-seconds after getting the email.

I hope that it is all that it is cracked up to be.

I have had a conversion that works great for over 15 years, but I was "over the moon" when these showed up at SHOT.

Was there any extra paperwork or questions about legality where you live?
Put another way, are they screening where they are being shipped?

^you agree by checking their terms. so in a way yes, but its an honesty system at best.

not sure on restricted states and cities and this dealer and what they will and wont do?

They haven't been in Colorado, but, the Governor signed a bill legalizing them about a week ago. It won't go into effect until August so I have to wait until then and then one will be mine! Preston

Both knives came in great shape. The blades on both are a tiny bit off center but not close to hitting the liner and no problem to me. The button is textured for easy feel. The coil spring action is smooth and firm. The lock-up is rock solid. The back springs are flush as they should be. No gaps or scratches. Came with Buck's forever warranty. Two excellent examples of the 110 with a very nice auto feature.
The sheaths have an extra panel glued in the pocket behind the face to give the knife zero movement when used.

I received mine on Friday and I am VERY happy with it. It is fast and smooth. The button works great. The fit and finish are perfect. I am having a time getting used to the unlocking of the blade using the lockback instead of the button. They have done a great job on these knives. I waited over 40 years for Buck to make them and it is great! My wife really like it, too!

Now, I wait for the 112 auto!

I got mine Friday after reading this post earlier in the week. It's really a great knife. I have pictures in the Sunday Picture Show.

I've seen your photos on the SPS Geddinight. Can you post them in this thread? I have a question or comment and figure this to be a better place than the SPS for such questions.

Is the sheath any different? Blade HQ description states, "designed to prevent deployment". What does that mean?

 

[wazu013]

The sheath has an extra leather panel glued inside on the snap side. Here's a pic posted by Oregon on another forum.

Thanks! Trying to figured out how that extra leather panel prevents deployment.

Thanks! Trying to figured out how that extra leather panel prevents deployment.

The best that I can determine is that it covers the button with a thicker cover to prevent something pushing the button when it bumps the sheath. It also covers the entire area around the button so that it keeps the button from being pushed.

 

[MT_Pokt]

Looks to me that the leather stops short if where the button is on the snap side, and there's a hole drilled where the button is on the belt side.
Looks like it will be top-down carry with the option of blade forward or blade rearward.

Someone with the knife and sheath should clear this up.

I'm blaming the new forum format for any mistakes or repeats of my speculation...
