Clean and protect Buck 110

[Mbousta]

Hello everybody,

Im wondering if anyone can give a full set of CLEANING and PROTECTING tips for my buck 110:

**Outer part and the wood
**Blade
**Folding mechanism

i bought Renaissance wax for the exterior , however do u guys think its enough to protect the blade too or does it need something else...

Thank u all,

FOr the wood Pledge seems to work well for me.

Just keep the blade dry after use and wash it occasionally, it is stainless steel after all, and a quite good one.

The folding mechanism is dead simple and just needs to be washed out time and again, dirt can ruin it over time, but as long as you wash it it will be fine, its a really easy knife to care for and handles abuse well.

If your Buck 110 gets really nasty (like from cleaning fish or dressing game) just wash it with warm water and dish detergent. For ordinary dirt just wipe it off with a damp paper towel, possibly dampened with rubbing alcohol. Use the wax of your choice on the wood handle slabs, and maybe on the blade if you are using it around salt water. The locking mechanism needs to be cleaned and lightly oiled (Militec-1 is good, ask them for a sample) a few times a year. As I said, unless you are using it around salt water, the blade doesn't need squat to protect it. Now get yourself a small DMT hone to sharpen it, and use water to lube the hone. One more thing: I've always considered Buck blades to be hard, almost brittle, so don't pry anything with the tip unless you want to snap it off. :thumbup:

Hey Mbousta--welcome to these forums! You've made a great choice for a knife. I appreciate your concern for its proper care. You ought to head over to the Buck sub-forum for a huge selection of tips and user tales about the 110.

But I forewarn you--there are many beautiful variations of this knife. It may become an expensive visit.

I agree. There's a reason some of those guys over in the Buck forums own 20+ 110s. Not to mention other models.

As for cleaning and protecting, i just wash mine in warm water, dry them well and put a tiny coating of oil on them. No problems with that method so far.
