Buck newbie question...

[Jeepnut22]

I've had a Buck 110 folding knife w/ sheath for a long, long time. Probably close to 20 or more years now. Are older ones better, worse, diff. blade steel, etc?

TIA

I don’t think I am talking out of turn if I say that we all think very highly of the current 110s. The wood of the scales is laminate now and the steel is different but for a working knife it is still the best thing going. You also have more options than you did 20 years ago because you could order a knife made to suit you exactly through the custom shoppeee. If you liked the old one I am sure you would still be pleased.

The price on the standard knife went down---its $26 and change at our Walmart---down from $30 a couple years ago.
