How the 110 is made.

Awesome. Makes me want to pick up another, newer 110 to go with the one I've had since the 80s.

I would rather have all my Buck knives stolen than to reactivate my Facebook page.

Facebook is proof that evil exists and is astride the earth.

Anyway the content can be moved outside of Facebook so I don't have to deal with the 100s of Facebook zombies staggering out of the dark corners of my past to let me know about their kid's great play on the soccer field and asking why I missed the last class reunion?

If Facebook had gears, I'd toss in my 110 just to jam up the works but good.
 
Cool link, Thanks.

It looks like they are finally getting it down to a science. :D

Since I saw my first through to today, The Buck 110 is still one of my favorite knives.
 
So they do the final sharpening freehand on a wheel/belt? I assumed they used some sort of jig for a consistent angle.
 
I know there's a final polish on a softer wheel that's freehand......but the edge grinds are so perfect that it seems they must have some sort of mechanized help for all but that final polish.

I don't remember. I'll have to drag out the DVD again and see if that tells me for sure.
 
Great thread and a great link. I was also surprised, that they were sharpened free hand. That´s impressing, I think.

Kind regards
Andi
 
Based on the "Buck Knives: A look inside" dvd, I think they are hand done. It is hard to fathom that the Edge2K can be done conistantly by hand though. But the are professionals aftertall.
