Buck 110 hunter

A) it's an icon and everybody should own one on that account.

B) it's a hunting knife first and foremost. Hence the clip point and hollow grind. Back in the day, it was the only and then much copied locking folder and got used as a utility work knife. Today, there may be better work knives but that is up to you. The tip is a bit on the frail side. Easy to snap off.

C) it's too heavy IMO for pocket carry. Really needs to be in a belt holster or carried in a pocket or pack. If you're hunting or camping, one needs to consider if for that weight if it doesn't just make more sense to carry a fixed blade.

My 110 is a very dearly loved knife but it's probably my least used knife. Too heavy for EDC and in the field, if I'm carrying that weight I use a fixed blade.
 
Buck's warranty is the 'Forever Warranty'. Meaning beyond your lifetime. Say you pass the knife on to your Grandson and he dings it up. The warranty still applies. DM
 
They're worth every penny, and more:



The only real downside is the weight - they're like 8 ounces apiece, ya' know!
 
I would see if you could find one at your local sporting goods store. I don't mind the blister packs because you're able to see the grind of the blade and the unsharpened swedge. I bought one online and it came with a jagged swedge.

Armenate, No the one Aias shows is a Buck Custom. The one your inquiring about, some have the '50' year emblem on the handle, some don't. Shop around to find one. Don't delay as they are being discontinued soon.
Aias, here is the 110 with D2 blade. DM

My first Good knife was a 110 and I've loved them ever since
I have several including 3 auto - conversation's.
As to weight it doesn't bother me, it does most of what a fixed blade will do
But can be dropped in your pocket/pack easily less obtrusive than a fixed blade is.
 
As mentioned before they are way to heavy to EDC in my opinion. But still I carry one from time to time in a holster. they have their robust charm and every knife collection should include at least one. Like Pinnah one of my least carried but most loved knifes is a 110. In this case a 110 autoconversion with nickelsilverbolsters and cherrywoodhandles.

"Last Buck Standing"​
 
I've heard tell of A d2 110 but this is the first I've seen. I have no information on that version or it's history. My favorites are the older customs when BG42 was an option, as well as the CPM 154 version made for (?). I have two of those, and two BG42. Both steels are done about as well as I've seen them done and I must admit to using Buck/Bos version of the steel as reference standard for those particular steels.

I don't think it's close to being one of the strongest knives made. They are certainly strong enough to last a lifetime if used for slicing and cutting and no prying, chopping, throwing, etc. I have/had everything except first generation 440C and don't go out of my way to get one because it's my least favorite steel made. What they can achieve with 420HC is nothing short of amazing IMO. Yes, the base model is no slouch but the higher end steels with Bos heat treats are wonderful!

Great traditional field knife. I used the Schrade version for years. Now I have two or three of the Bucks. The biggest negative I see with the knife is its weight, but carried on your belt, it is pretty comfortable.
 
Mastiff, Your behind the times. Buck's 110 with cpm-154 steel was offered thru Bass Pro in 2010. The 110 with D2 blade was offered thru the Buck Collectors nearly 2 years ago. This model has been offered with a dozen different steels thru the years. DM
 
Great knife. Get it.

All 110 blades get the BOS heat treatment which helps make their 420HC steel an excellent choice.

As already mentioned, it's too heavy to EDC except in its belt pouch. But, in its pouch, it becomes hardly noticeable.
 
I ended up purchasing the boone and crocket limited edition knife. It also has the 50th anniversary emblem and a box. And it was only $40. Its a great blade
