When I first wanted a Buck 110 and was old enough to acquire one (high school), the price difference pushed me to Schrade LB7. It was a fine knife, but it's no Buck 110! Hollow grinds makes the difference!

We never had issues with carrying knives to school unless you behaved stupidly with them. Most carried in their pockets, but Buck 110-style belt pouches were not uncommon. The only time during my three years at the high school when a student-carried knife was an issue was when one pulled his to use as a weapon when he got attacked by another student in the bathroom. The discipline issued affected only that student and the one who attacked him, not the rest of us. Imagine that! The penalties affected only the people who acted badly, and not the people who did nothing wrong.

I carried a 110 through high school in the mid 70s, and never got hassled. In fact, the machine shop teacher would occasionally walk up behind me and take my knife. About five minutes later he'd wander back and put it back in the sheath. I didn't mind, every time he did this it'd come back sharp.

The only time I ever got hassled was by a 'security' guard at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody Wyoming. He made me take the knife out of the sheath and put it my mom's purse. Figure that one out.

C'mon. You are in Wyoming. You probably get a detention if you don't have a knife.😀

Edit: That wasn't meant to be offensive. I was just commenting how people in Wyoming and people in Michigan/Wisconsin have generally a different view on knives, especially in the urban areas.

Just got it in the mail 10 minutes ago. Absolutely perfect. Centered, zero blade play. They should clone Danny Peretti and have them make all their knives, guys work is amazing. He may be seeing more of my knives. The last five 110s I’ve received have all had pretty bad blade play. But his is spot on perfect.

So I just checked. My package is going to Michigan and it is in Spokane, WA right now. Scheduled for Tuesday.

Maybe you looked scarier than your mom! Your shop teacher was cool to sharpen your knife for you. I had a cool metal shop teacher too. He let kids make knives and he let me cast a pair of nunchaku from aluminum. Those things were so heavy!

I'm trying to figure out how to tell a story without offending anyone too badly...

My mom decided she needed a new garden hose so I took her to Sears. It's an important part of the story: If you looked at my mom and me standing side by side you'd never guess we were related.

She wandered off to find her hose, and I headed to the tool department.

I needed to replace some tool or another, and the only way they could do it was to crack open a set of tools. I knew the manager to be a reasonable sort, and it came down to needing a knife to break the seal on the tool set. I motioned to this small, elderly woman lugging a garden hose around, and said, "We need your knife." She wandered up to the counter and started to unload her purse. She produced a Spyderco, cut the seal, then called in the end loader to backfill her purse.

The manager asked me, "How dd you know she'd have a knife?"

My answer boiled down to 'look at her, of course she has a knife'.

That poor manager fumed and sputtered, and really couldn't form a coherent sentence for several seconds. I finally had to let her off the hook, "Relax, she's my mom."

Yet another place I was barred from because of my weird sense of humor.

That's awesome! My mom sometimes carried a Victorinox Deluxe Tinker that I gave to her. Even better, she made her own drop point fixed blade from bar stock and a couple of slabs of wood at an Elderhostel event she attended with my dad. He made a knife too, but hers was better!

I also am famous among my circle of friends as the only one we know who lost a knife fight . . . to his own mother.

I don't find anything offensive in what you posted. In fact it kind of helps illustrate the silliness of the situation. If you've ever been to the Cody museum you know that it's a wonderful place just full of knives, guns, war clubs, and really just no end of cool stuff. Some kid with a beat to hell 110 on his belt is a threat so he turns his mom into a felon carrying a concealed weapon. Yeah, makes a lot of sense.

Actually, I don't think carrying a concealed 110 would have been illegal in Wyoming at the time, but I'm certainly not doing to let that get in the way of a good story.

COA's are VERY important on custom knives especially because they tend to not have date codes.
Also because they are not in the general catalog where they can be looked up for reference documentation.
It would be helpful if Buck included a date on the COA going forward.
Buck needs to keep in mind these are generally collector items and documentation is everything.
No one is going to actually use that 932 to skin out an Elk. (well, maybe CJ would)

addendum... please kick the behind of anyone who suggests that laser etching that f...ing "Limited Edition"' on the blades is a good idea.
It's just plain cheesy.
addendum 2... while I'm on a roll. Nice size appropriate 2 pc boxes please. Those oversize magnetic boxes that would hold 10 knives is a waste. (this is coming from someone who has to store more than 20 boxes ;o)

I would most certainly skin an elk with that masterpiece!!

Nicely done Mr. Peretti
 
Just got my Danny 110 only to find what appears to be rust already on the blade. I know 5160 isn't the most stainless, but this is pretty disappointing.

I've already contacted Buck Customer Service and they are sending me a return label. I don't know yet if they'll be able to fix this or if this is going to require some other solution.

Very light surface rust, likely scrub off, use a bit of very fine abrasive or a rust eraser in the direction of the existing marks on the blade.
