I would think if it was a Buck, it'd have a Buck stamp some place and it doesn't.
They look nice though. I'm guessing NO but that's just another of my W.A.G.'s
 
The handles look authentic like a 105 or 119 cocabola but I agree with Flat, Buck would almost certainly have stamped the tang.
 
I don't hink that they are real 103. There are some differences at the shape and the grinding.

Best,
Haebbie
 
I have one of the hunting heritage ones but its not the life member edition. It has Buck stamped on it. I will try to get a picture up shortly.
 
I think they look like bucks,maybe special order for north american hunting club,although even the sheath has no buck name on the snap.I can't wait for Joe or somebody who knows for sure to chime in..
 
Ok, so now that we've all agreed that they aren't 110's :thumbup:,lets look at one I'm sure is authentic. If the first ones are fake, they did an excellent job on the etch.

Haebbie, what is the blade shape and grind difference you mentioned? I'm having trouble seeing that.

If you put the first picture right one next to the Buck in the last picture left one I think there are some differences. The top of the blade towards the end, the hand guard and the pommel.
 
the spacers on the two look thicker..
and guard not as long and pommel.. as stated above
edge diff ? my eyes not that good
man i would like Joes comments on this
but like i said the only thing i can tell you for sure is
that they are not even clones of a 110..:rolleyes::p

[now i reservet that they could be OME for the hunt club
as buck has done work for Redhead knives..
and they looked like clownes also ..

edit: they could be OEM by buck for the hunt club
buck has done work for Redhead knives..
and they looked like clones also ..

Pdave... Can you take a pic of the authentic one next to the maybe fake ones??? Either way, they sure look good... I almost bought one on ebay once...
 
on more thought ... even though they are not 110's
i think they are real .. but what do i know ..
i am a guy that once said one was fake as it had
buck etched on the blade backside and a brass rocker rivet...
and would not give the guy 15 $ for the knife..
 
Well, I think they are real myself but I have to wait to see them side by side. I still can't for the life of me see the differences others seem to see. I think it's the way they are photographed maybe. Angles make a big difference.

I have looked at these pictures a number of times and I can't see the differences the others are seeing either.
