buck 110 dymondwood

[A.L.]

As long as I meet the permit requirements, I can purchase if I want.
Those are; physical and mental test and drug test (can be replaced with a driver's license)
A criminal background check and, if necessary, a brief interview with a police officer.
The purpose of possession can be selected from hunting, training, ceremonial purposes, slaughter, fishing, construction, self-defense, decoration, heirloom, and ETC (in which case the police authorizes a specific use).

Interesting, thanks!

I'm sorry that you had to go through all that just to get a pocketknife. That is just silly. Anyway, don't let the internet ruin your day! Your knife is great, and Bucks Dymondwood looks gorgeous and is super strong. My Buck 110 is a Dymondwood 50th anniversary model and it is awesome. It's gutted and skinned a few deer, cut up food and everyday stuff, and never let me down in all the years I have used it. I even took it to the Buck factory here and they resharpened and shined it up for free. That knife will give you, and your kids after you, years of faithful service if you take care of it. Enjoy your Buck!

Diamond wood is a birch plywood composite impregnated with a resin. It is very durable and resistant to damage. It can be restored to a nice finish after extended hard use if it develops scratches and other minor imperfections with a light sanding and a buff. The return to ebony was done for several reasons. New availability of ebony via a guitar companies decision to use trees that used to be rejected because they were not pure black, so there are expected variations in color in the newer ebony from black to brown streaks to lighter colored wood. This was done to more ethically use the ebony trees.
Buck switched to the Diamondwood when ebony became unavailable in realistic quantities, and used it for many years with great success.

Part of the reason for returning to ebony may be purely nostalgic, and to please customer demand, but that said, there is nothing structurally deficient with the Diamond wood.

Also, the Dymondwood plant burned down.

Hello. I am a Korean knife user.
I had to do a lot of paperwork because of the knife possession laws in Korea, but I finally bought the Buck 110.
I was very satisfied and using it, but after watching YouTube videos, I found out that it changed from dymondwood scales to ebony in 2019. The one I bought was made in 2016, so it has dymondwood scales. It's a knife I'll use for the rest of my life and I can't replace it(because of the law), so I'm sad because I think I've got bad version of the knife. Are dymondwood wood scales really worse than ebony?

Diamondwood is an excellent material. I have a Diamondwood Buck 112 which I have been using hard since 1997 and it looks very good. You may have wanted ebony, but you actually got the better product. Enjoy it and post LOTS of pictures!
