??Buck 110 Release Tomorrow (01/10/2022)??

[FranklinG]

I wouldn't be surprised based on this comment from their Instagram. I'm betting for a 110 with magnacut blade and jigged micarta handles (to test out jigging the micarta for the barehead 110 supposedly coming this year)

Based on absolutely no evidence, I think it'll be a four blade camp knife with a bail and micarta handles, but I'd settle for valox.

If they used that steel in an automatic version I'd have to get one to complete the set.
They probably should do an auto Ranger, too.

Bummer, no interwebs at house so missed this one, looks like a great blade, really interested in hearing about how it performs and how difficult/easy it is to sharpen.

texpat in a few weeks you might be able to get one for under $175.00 when the Flippers get tired of asking much more..

Yes. FedEx actually does a fantastic job of delivering that quick up here, but it comes with a price.

Tracking says mine has been delivered to a parcel locker. I guess I better walk over to the post office and pick it up.

O.B.

 

[brianv]

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Made it all the way to PA. Thanks BUCK. Mine looks like the ones above but with a hint of blond down the center on the one side. I'll get a picture up when I can.

nice looking knife but the blade centering on mine is garbage. lot of sloppy blade play while closed, pretty disappointed in such a hyped up release.

The actual Rockwell averaged 61-62. We choose the lower Rockwell on this project due to the toughness loss at the higher hardness. For our product customers, it makes more sense. The tip breaking on the 110s is one of our top returns and we know people pry with our blades (gasp! lol), so we wanted the toughness. Plus it is easier to re-sharpen etc.
We have just adopted a new sharpening method that has raised our CATRA scores significantly for initial sharpness/total life, so edge life should still be there at the lower Hardness.

Hope this helps.

Mine was definitely very sharp out of the box!

Wow that’s a nice one! The grind looks really good too.

Got mine today also. Collector only but side blade play is prominent. A little disappointing.

Y'all act like ya never seen a 110 before. They aren't high end customs, in fact if you look around your local Walmart for the boxed version you can pick a 420HC one for $35ish dollars if they have any left.

That said they are rough and ready knives that have stood the test of time. The quirks make it uniquely yours, go cut something and enjoy it.
