How old are you 110 owners?

Hi All,

TAH....cool thread.....getting all of us Buck nuts to admit how old we are......LOL.....but, how many are telling the truth????? Well, I'm old enough to have five kids......28, 25, 21(yesterday), 15,14 and five grand kids.......7, 6, 5, 3, and 3 months.......so you tell me.... how old am I????? I'll tell you I feel much older than I am though.....LOL.

I don't remember the exact year I got my first 110......late 60's or the start of the 70's......but I got my first 112 the year they came out.....to match the 110 in my collection. I was disappointed in that 112....it was not a mini carbon copy of the 110.....the handle looked funny to me (to dark and fake wood?) and the blade had no nail nick :( . They were not a good match (110/112) to my young eyes....I sure wish I had those two knives today!!!!!!

Hey JB,
Close to 55 is good enough! :D It puts you in the same generation as a lot of us. On any given day, I may feel younger or older than my real age. I guess that's just the way it goes. :o

Well seems like we are mostly the same age group...I am 47 and I think this is a sign of the type of knives we like. My 14 year old son doesn't like Buck 110s much, but he does like the red and yellow assisted opening Buck tempest I got him.....I also think it take a few years under your belt to put quailty ahead of flash.....
 
Does the younger generation like brass? Personally, I love brass and you get a lot of it on a 110. :D :thumbup:

What are we considering the "younger generation"????
I like brass. I like nickel... I LOVE BUCK KNIVES....:D
 
I paid good money for my first buck 110. Some of my friends had a 110 and I just had to get one. I liked the solid feel of the knife and its heft. I carried it many years until I snapped the last 8th on an inch of the tip off. I re-ground the edge but it was not the same knife. Then a Shrade Uncle Henry took its place. Age 48.
 
Howdy,I'm a young 60,first 110 was in 1965....she is in someone else's hand,
stolen in 1966 out of my 55 chevy pickup 3 in the floor with a 348 c.i. engine out of a 58 Chevy Biscayne.
We had Ethyl gasoline back then about 22 cents a gallon....and that truck required it....gobs of it daily....didn't buy another until 1970....still have that one,the sheath is in sad shape.
 
I am OLD too...53. Got my first Buck in about 1970 a 119 which I still have. I was going to buy a 110 but saw the 119 for the same price and couldn't resist buying it. Used it hard camping, throwing it into trees etc.

Shortly after realizing I couldn't wear my 119 everywhere, I then picked up a 110. Like many on the forum I have a fairly sizeable collection now. That original 110 was stolen though.

One of the first things I did when I discovered this forum was to contact Joe Houser and get a stag handle put on to replace the phenolic which I cracked by throwing it. It is about my favorite Buck. It came back so pretty and new looking, I haven't used it since however. Thanks again Joe!
 
I'm 40 years old but it has only been in about the past ten years that I have come to really appreciate the Buck 110.
 
wow the age seems to not be too much a factor
there are a lot more of over 40 i think
but the under 40 seem to like the 110 and other bucks for the same reasons
i cant think that long with these tight swim trunks on but has any one thought to graft the age of buck owners now and when they got there first buck? could be quite dramatic chart...:D
 
I was always enamored of the aesthetics of the Buck 110, but I let the glitz and flash of the more modern designs sway me until recently. Of course, it was inevitable that I would one day embrace the Buck 110, since I'm a 1911 kind of guy too.
 
i'm 47 but somedays feel like 57, got my first 110 in about 1975 and have had several since. great knife even i can't break one. later,ahgar
 
i`m just under 21 and own a 110 , theres no history to it though , i just went out and bought it brand new . 110 with fionger grooves. bought it because i wanted a classic folder.
 
...That was a great choice...You could never find a better classic folding knife than that 110...:thumbup:
