Here's a series of instructions I put together for anyone who might want to know how to clean a buck 110:
Note: For heavier cleaning/restoration, use steel wool and polishing compound or Brasso to polish bolsters and remove rust. The instructions here will work just fine for restoring and keeping your knife clean, though.
MATERIALS: Cotton swabs, Teflon or WD40 or any other lubricant, tape, Nevr-Dull or Brasso, paper towels and compressed air.

Step 1: Tape the blade so you don't cut yourself.

Step 2: Use cotton swabs to clean the blade housing and locking mechanism.

Step 3: Use compressed air to remove dust.

Awesome thank you.....You might want to try pipe cleaners too and you can re-wash them too!. You can work pipe cleaner with out hurting the knife through the hole between the lock tab on the front end where it contacts the blade & rotates by pressing on it the rear release in a "closed position" for that really tough grime. LOL Now I sound like my wife.....I use also the [NEW] and [safer] BIRCHWOOD CASEY GUN SCRUBBER thats also [safe] for [synthetic] parts when it on sale at WAL*MART. also Machinist Oil is safer than WD-40 thats nasty stuff. Machine Oil is hard to find except SINGER SEWING MACHINE OIL they sell at WAL*MART and its very cheap. Artist & Woodworkers have been using MACHINIST OIL for the ages. Artist use to bring out the petina in their cherry wood Oil palettes, also Artist grade Linseed Oil "not boiled" for conditioning wood. Woodworkers use do use boiled Linseed oil it does not matter for their applications. Artist though put gesso over the linseed oil so it does matter it can't be the boiled type. ALL FOOD FOR THOUGHT....

thank for this great post! CJ.....

Heck, I just leave then in the pants pocket of my jeans. But wife does say they make a clunking sound in the washer. They do come out nice and clean.

I don't buy cans of anything [usually] to costly, for blowing out knives just my old trusted CAMPBELL HAUSFELD "POWER PAL" and fill up my CAMPBELL HAUSFELD 7.5 GALLON AIR TANK FILLER UP! in the garage and bring it in the house and I'm good for a 3-4 days days! depending how many ~SILVER GOOSE~ that are in need of SPA work.......LOL

THE BIRCHWOD CASEY is about it, leaves no [residue] to speak of and especially "SCENT" but If I'm hunting I clean my knives and guns "trigger mechanism right after hunting season and the'll be fine knives or guns and free of scent by the next hunting season. Just foof for thought.....
 
Some of us use our knives and guns for all sorts of things year round. So, cleaning them is a weekly affair. Compressed air does help. CLP Break Free is a good product. Newton, are those someone else hands and you took the pictures? DM

Uggh, you just HAD to ask. It was taken with a webcam. I was holding the knife in my hands and the camera in my mouth, while pressing "capture" button on the computer by clicking the mouse with my foot. And I still managed to get a non-shaky image. Yeah, I'm that awesome. :cool:

Another good tool for cleaning is a mascara brush. My wife had a pack of them and gave me a few. They have a fairly small diameter, and you can bend the brush into different shapes if needed. The ones she gave me have a 1/8" dia. handle. Fits nicely in my Foredom for a powered brush.

Foredom is a brand of flex shaft tool. They cost a bit more than a Dremel, but they work well and last along time. It has different hand pieces that can be attached to the flex shaft to hold the bits and burrs. I have one that uses a collet. The 1/8" collet will hold the mascara brush very nicely.http://www.foredom.net/

The Foredom has better speed control than my Dremel. The Foredom has a foot pedal speed control while my Dremel (over 30 years old) has one speed: Bat-out-of-hell.

Another thing I do with the Foredom is use a 1/8" (3/32" works too) cotter pin as a split mandrel to hold sand paper for some sanding applications.
