Hey guys. After many years of not using my buck 110, i decided i wanted to carry it. I like modding and making my gear more functional. Are there any at home mods for the 110's? I already put it between a phone book and hammered the brass pivot pin in more to make the blade tighter because it had some side to side movement. But that's about it.
 
Hey Suzuki,

I'm glad you've decided to carry your 110. But really use it to.
I've done a lot of mod's but only with regard to different handles or grinding out the belly etc. Before you go trying to mod the thing spend some quality time with it and really get to know the knife. I think you find it to your likeing just as it is.
 
Ah yes, i like the thumbstud idea! Flatlander, i wasn't asking stupid questions pertaining to the other thread, some were also friends of my buddies, i sometimes share the account with him. He has some bucks but that's all his dad uses so he knows 0 about knives other than what i've taught him. I like the old school look though so idk if i'll go with the thumbstud. I wish i got the finger grooved 110, it's pretty comfortable, but can't complain about this one. the needle tip is awesome.
 
I like the shape of the 110 blade, but I prefer the thickness and weight of the 560 handles. So to get a working "110", I knock the knife apart, skinny up the Ti handles, add a premium blade, add a thumbstud, add a pocket clip, and reassemble the knife with screw sets. The final product is 3/8" thick and rides nicely in my right front pocket.

I haven't figured out how to post pics yet, but it is on my bucket list.
 
I believe that you will need to use the knife for awhile before you modify it. How else are you going to know what you want to change? Just because someone else does something to their's doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you. A thumb stud is easy to put on and take off if it doesn't work for you (they don't for me) and isn't a permanent change that you will have to live with, like it or not, as long as you keep the knife.
 
The stud has a set screw, uses an allen wrench. Works very well. If you look on that famous on line auction site there is at least one listing now. I've been using a stud on my 110 for decades now and wouldn't be without it.
