thought it would be nice to show off any Buck 110 clones people might have. I have been accumulating these Pumas recently: three puma lockbacks, the big one, Emperor from '81, the tiny cub from '74 and the Game Warden from '71, The photos show them posing with an early '70's Buck 110, I thought it would be good to have a comparison of the original brass boat anchor + pocket knife with these copies. I find it interesting that each different size knife has an obviously different blade shape, and thickness. The game warden has the same convex towards the edge as the Buck 110, but is on the whole a lot thinner, I could put a good thin slicing primary edge on this, the other knives do not.



The emperor is really a beast, like a folding bowie knife,



the bolsters of the pumas as well as the buck of this era are all one piece with the liners


nice square bolsters on these older Bucks,
