Post pics of your custom buck 110

it says "limited production 1997" and is what was on the production of the first 500, i think? tho i could be wrong and likely am... i don't remember details to much...
i do know that buck loss money at the wholesale level on each that they made as it was almost totally a "hand made knife" except for the blade....
it is also the first different 110 blade and now with the club drop point there are only 3 models of blade profile cut for the 110,
as i view the native and flint chip the same as the cut outs- a style, not a modification of the blade profile.
Dave,
The reason I was asking is that I have a liner lock also but without anything on the blade. Did you notice that the scale meterial is the same as was used on the Master Series knives, minus the grid work?

Not to put a pin in your balloon, but you have the wrong sheath there. It should have the mountain range triangle logo on it to be correct; if that kind of stuff matters to you.
I have no idea if it is or not, it's simply the one that came in the box. I collect variations of the 110 for illustration purposes. I try to make sure I have the box and sheath but don't need or desire to have to rarest one. The liner lock 110 though is one of the variations that one should have if they are collecting them since I think it's an important one. The brass version that you refer to was a prototype that apparently pre-dates the production version and are very limited in numbers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to slight you at all. I was only trying to provide more information. Any version of the 110LL is rare. I can't even read the tang stamp in your picture, and have no idea if you have the box or not. As far as the sheath goes, after looking at your photobucket of pictures, I just thought you might want to know. You have a nice collection and seem pretty anal about quality specimens; which of course is a good thing! Actually, the mountain range logo sheath is correct for: 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 110s.
The tang indicates it is a later version. It reads Buck in scroll and USA on the next line read tip up. I have the box, which is black and indicates it is model 0110-LL-0, catalong #2462. It came with the sheath in the photo along with the allen wrrench in a little plastic pouch.
 
Yak, yak, yak...all I know is that I want one of what you guys are yakking about.
Wouldn't care if it came with a codura sheath, one green and one brown scale, tang stamp or no tang stamp...
It's cool.

Whoever looks at the sheath anyway. Buck makes changes all the time. It doesn't surprise me that there might be various types of sheaths that went out with them. :rolleyes:

I see in some of your prior posts that you have a fondness for the Colt Python.
The only interest I have in the Colt Python is the fact that it was the weapon I carried on duty when I was a cop. I sold it shortly after I resigned.

And if nobody looks at the sheath anyway, why did you include it in your photo? Just because it came in the box, doesn't make it correct. If it was pre-owned, or on display in a store, changes, swaps, and mistakes surely could have occured. I have done this myself to ensure what I have is correct.
I showed it in the photo because I thought it made a cool picture. I said I had no idea if it was the correct sheath, but that it came in the box. Since it came in the box, in my mind, and as far as I'm concerned or care, it's correct. This is really a mute point since I will never be selling it anyway. Perhaps when I'm dead, someone will have to argue with my wife.

Wow Mike and Marvin,

Do you think the box will make it shoot better:D .

Who you kidding? You posted in the past that you wished you hadn't thrown boxes away yourself. You say you want one. Trades? You got anything interesting? If you want, I can color one scale brown, change the sheath, and grind the tang stamp off if you wish.:p Let me know. 110s and 110 variants only.
Not kidding anyone Buck_110. Just thinking you guys are lucky to have a LL. Box, sheath, tang stamp, whatever the diif may be. Certainly, a complete set (Sheath, box, and papers) add to the value.

Yeah, I got a 102BR Woodsman in the mail, I think on a Monday. I opened it outside the house when I got the mail and threw the box in the outside garbage can. Remember seeing the date on the box being 10-31-05. Figured "I don't collect fixed blades so I don't need the box".
Later, I thought I should have kept it but the trash was already picked up :( on Tuesday.
Since then, I have kept all my boxes. Even for my little 55 that I gave my wife. I still can't find the box for my Alaskan, but I know it's in my cluttered closet, somewhere.

As for a trade...I don't think I have anything you would want. I don't have any "rare" 110s that I think would be fair for a LL. Thanks though.

Hi EEE,

Looks like you have cluttered up you house with all those knives & Boxs . You can send them my way.....just to clean up you space a little .

jb4570


Apparently it must!

LOL!!!! Buck_110,

You are good:D. You also seem have a vast knowledge pertaining to our beloved Buck knives; thank you for sharing. One of the Buck 192's I bought off of ebay came in the wrong box:( and it has bothered me ever since. The seller also sold the knife I got the box for during the same time frame......so......there is another fellow out with my box:mad: . Oh well I like the knife not the box. What is funny though is that I have an empty box for a 124 that had a maroon (red) martica handle, I kept the box after I traded the knife away over 25 years ago. Go figure:foot: .
 
Not much to look at, but here is a few

Top to bottom:
Osage handled 110, lengthened clip, flatground blade, bolsters thinned
Modified Clip
Narrow drop point
early 110 w/o upside down stamp
early 110 w/ upside down stamp
wide drop point
new 2006 blad in 80's frame
80's stock buck, smooth as glass
110s.jpg

and my only two 112's just because! first is drop point "3 dot" with swelled maple burl and thinned bolsters with "ears" removed (when I say thin, I mean thin! only about 3/8" thick) the other Iremvoed the rear bolsters, drop pointed it and hamdled it in mulberry burl

OK OK you guys got me! now i have to DIG out the stuff and see if i have what is correct!!!
Normally i am like mike it is all about the knife not the 'stuff'...
i normally try to buy mine with out the 'stuff' it as it saves me money and in the display you don't see the 'stuff' >>
my name should be tweedy bird as i am so Cheep cheep!
but in this case i wanted it badly enough to pay premium and got the last of three that they had.
it is the most expensive 110 i have...well maby... i have a ivory custom designers choice DM nickel... so it is like a tie...when i find the box will update....
i for one am verry glad to have any one that cares enough to know the details!!!! as most the times buck don't even know! i say this even as i admit that i generally did not care about it ...but find i am starting to bid more on any that have the 'stuff' !! i guess it is a way of growing as a collector...i still bid like a catfish tho - bottom feeding ...
any way ...now were is that xxx box?

It's not a question of looking at the sheath. It's a matter of being 100% complete and correct. The more complete and correct anything is, the more it's worth.

Yes, Buck does make changes, but not that frequently. For example the sheath in you photo was the standard from 1989 through 1994. And prior to that, the snap was only single stamped. And if nobody looks at the sheath anyway, why did you include it in your photo? Just because it came in the box, doesn't make it correct. If it was pre-owned, or on display in a store, changes, swaps, and mistakes surely could have occured. I have done this myself to ensure what I have is correct.

OHHHhhhh DANG IT!!!!! Now I am going to have to start a Buck Knife sheath display.... I'll get some pics up as soon as my display case gets here :D
By the way I agree with Buckaholic, I would just appreciate having the 110 LL
If I want the "correct" sheath I will go on feebay and buy it. But I dont have my display of sheaths up and running yet so I guess I can live with the pics of mikes! Cool looking pics by the way! Good luck all!!!keep the nice pics coming! I REALLY like the 112's Muskrat!
Jim :)

For no particular reason, this struck me as hysterically funny...lol... :D
You may not think so if you knew my wife. Most people that know they may have to argue with her over something back down before it happens. She really knows how to wear you down. I've learnbed ove rthe years to simply reply, "Yes dear!" ;)

Buck 110,
If the sheath is an issue for you this next tidbit will really drive you up the wall. I carry all my 110's with the exception of an etched one and one I have that's been signed by CJ and Chuck. I buy knives to carry and use, not to sit around. Now, I'm sure that will reduce their value, but again, not for me. I do take very good care of them and most people would not think they've been used. The irony is that I carry them in hand made sheaths. I don't care much for Buck's leather ones.

Seriously, you seem to have a lot of knowledge of the sheaths that have been used by Buck over the years and it would really be beneficial to many here I'm sure if you posted information for people to follow and refer to. How about it?
