Buck 110 bade centering

NorWest_05 · Mar 18, 2021

Hi all, lost my 110 about 2 years ago and recently found and decided to clean it up. And the blade center is off... the blade is not rubbing, but it's just bugging me. I've been cleaning off every bit of dirt, rust, and muck in there, and I don't just wanna settle for off blade center if its possible.
Also, when I hold the knife with the povot up, the tip of the blade is pointing to the right.

Anything I could try?

I would send it in to Buck. They’ll take care of you and it’ll be just as good as new.

I agree, a spa treatment at the factory is worth it. They will sharpen it for free and take care of the blade centering.

My observation on a recently acquired two line buck with a rubbing blade to the right liner.

holding the blade and closing while checking how it is centered DURING TRAVEL, it is right in the middle until close to being closed.

Then like a car having a flat tire, whoosh over it goes. I can insert my thumb nail and close it fine. Upon removing the thumb nail I hear an audible ’snap’.

can I then say GOOD SNAP, LOL!

Another way to look at this is that you now have an excuse to purchase a custom Buck 110 from their Custom Knife Shop!

Thanks everyone for the replies. Maybe I do need to get a custom Buck 110

I should call Buck sometime and ask if they center their tons of unrubbing but off centered 110’s if they are sent in by ‘collectors’.
My sense says there seems to be three types. Centered, you have to check for space, and needs repair!
