Can anyone tell me what this knife is?

fatherhudson · Apr 12, 2012

alright, my mom gave me this knife as a christmas present a while back, pretty sure she got it in a thrift store. I wasn't too impressed at the time but after owning/using it for a while i'm really starting to fall in love. I have absolutely no idea who makes it but i'd like to know cause if they're cheap i'd like to buy some as gifts. looks a lot like a buck 110 obviously, maybe a knockoff? that being said, this knife is awesome. everythings tight and it has a quality feel to it. it says only "440" on the blade but i feel like it's 440C (i'm an optimist) cause it holds a wicked edge. I sharpened it just once right when i got it and it's still razor sharp. so, maybe it's a longshot but can anyone identify it? Thanks!

I may not be the greatest photographer . . .

Looks like a Chinese Buck 110 style knife.

very likely, but where can i purchase another? I know this forum isn't big on chinese made knives(and no one likes knockoffs) but please believe me, this knife is really good. I want another!

Probably flea markets. I've seen similar....possibly the same knife at the knife "dealers" at flea markets/shows. Good luck.

Getting a real Buck 110 is less of a gamble and more of an investment. You can't go wrong.

Agreed...The 110's run for right around 30-40 bucks. Not too bad and decent quality.

Yes, but NOT the 110. Buck is slowly bringing back the patterns made in China...to be made in the US.

If the blade was 440c im sure the maker would want that stamped on the blade and not just 440, though people underestimate a nice HT on regular ole 440a Older kershaws used to be in that steel and it held a decent edge

I fully agree wiith this statment. The Buck 110 was one of my first knives as a kid. I have fond memories of that iconic knife.
