Hello,
I've been interested in extending my knife collection. I've come across the buck 110 and it seems to be liked among the knife communities I visit, and I was wondering why?

Can someone please tell me the advantages of a buck 110 compared to my Manix 2 XL? Or even a Spyderco Military?

Sorry for being so blunt on the topic I just never saw the advantages of a buck 110 other than the nice classical look.

Thanks!
 
This a topic that has been covered sooo much in the past month. The can of worms has been opened lol. Its a great knife. I like the vintage ones myself.

There is a reason the 110 has been around as long as it has. It WORKS. Classic design, fits the hand well, good lock and nobody does 420HC like buck not to mention the price is hard to beat.
 
Posting the same post in multiple areas is not needed. You JUST asked the same in the Buck forum.

I didn't know what happened in this forum. I'm sorry this Tapatalk app is literally the biggest pos I've ever used.
At least I know it made it into the other thread. Every time I post it says connection issue. I didn't know that even posted.
 
The Buck 110 is a classic knife design that revolutionized the folding knife 50 years ago. It's been used by generations of hunters, ranchers, and knife enthusiasts. As a knife it can still do the job.

Some folks like classic things. They like the way it looks and feels. They like the history and lore the object connects them to. Maybe you're not one of these people.
 
The first time I opened one and heard the solid click of the blade locking.....Game over. It's just a solid knife.

From what I've heard they seem to be popularly used among hunters, is this the reason?
What kind of lock is used in the buck 110?
Also, how does 420HC compare to S30V used in Spyderco and I saw some custom buck 110s had S30V as well. Would a Spyderco knife with a nice belly to it work just as well?


Thanks!
 
DId you not know Buck offers the 110 with a S30V blade and a drop point style as well. With no hole in the blade. DM
