I just wondered if any of you carry a Buck 110 daily? If you do, what kind of jobs do you use it for?

I've not EDC'd my 110 yet. Not sure why really, just haven't. ;)

I'm working up to carrying it. It looks to nice to use. :D
 
I have carried one as one of my 30 or so EDC choices.....not for anything special, just general cutting needs as they arise.....it is a little heavy, but a GREAT knife !!
 
My normal EDC is a Buck 501. It is light, compact, holds an edge, and most important of all, it is unobtrusive. I work at major University in the South, and while it is not a bastion of libralism, you just cannot normally carry around a large knife in your pocket or strapped to your belt. However, on occasions I do carry my 1975-era Buck 110, such as when work requires a large knife or when I go out into the field with students.

Interestingly, I have discovered that many male professors and most male staff members commonly carry small pocket knives. And you would be amazed at the number of co-eds that have knives on their key chains or in their backbacks.
 
My work day EDC is one of several Buck clip based knived...the Sirus or Mayo Cutback (and I work at the courthouse). On the weekends I carry one of many 110's for anything that requires a blade; whether I'm working in the woodshop, around the yard, in the house or out and about.
 
I carry a 110 from time to time since i just really like it. Usually used for stuff a small sak could do just as well. I also carry it at my work {firefighter}since it can handle anything that comes up. later, ahgar
 
for years ,now I've misplaced it,still have the sheath it's missing along with my
selector blade probably in a tackle box.
 
My 110s rotate in and out of my EDC, depends on the tasks that I for see that day and what I feel like carrying. Always during hunting or camping trips. Preston
 
I have been using my Jersey Guide 110 since the day I received it from Cabela's. It is a JBWoods horizontal deputy dawg sheath.
With the "always have a back up' mentality...
298GY is always in my right pocket for licking cheese after slicing pizza.

I carry my 110 every day, just for general chores, opening things and such. I'm really starting to think it will be the only knife i'll ever need. I've only been without it a few days in the last year or so. I even have it in my pocket right now.
 
I carry mine more since adding a pocket clip and thumb stud to it. I really don't have room for another sheath with my Swiss Tool and my pistol already taking those spots.:D

I was carrying a 110, but now I'm carrying a Ka-Bar Mule.

If the 110 had a provision for one hand opening I'd go back to carrying it.
 
Hold a 110 by the blade spine and it does open one handed....:rolleyes:

I've carried a 110 on my belt for years. It doesn't feel right to go out and leave it "home alone" these days. It does all I ask of it and has never let me down, keeps a good edge and is comfy to use. Isn't that what a knife SHOULD be like?
 
Holding the 110 by the spine is not the best way to open a knife.

The simple addition of a thumbstud would do wonders for the popularity of the 110.

Yep.
I used to rotate various knives until I got the OAB for the Alaskan 110. It is now with me every day.

I carry one every day. I work offshore in the oil field.
I love my 110. But I do have other buck knives.

"One Armed Bandit", IIRC...the thumbstud...SMKW sells them; so does Knifekits.com...

As far as I'm concerned, it serves the same purpose as the sharp ridges on a Colt Gold Cup hammer...they take off skin... :grumpy:

I have opened and closed, my 110's with one hand, for the 30 years or so, that I have owned one. Just takes a little pratice to learn how.

McNugget has sensitive skin...I got a callous on my thumb from my OAB.

Here are some Buck knives with One Arm Bandits on 'em.

I have taken the ones on the Urban Cowboy series off...put one on my 112FG Potato (love that little red headed step child more and more each day) and the other on my Miracle Whip 172 TNT (it's a beautiful thing!).

111 three-dot is in a Quick Draw McGraw sheath for those special occassions when you care enough to send the very best. The little guy is in it's coffin in the closet.

To obtain a OAB, go here: http://www.eknifeworks.com/webapp/e...range=1&order=Default&Submit.x=11&Submit.y=10

LFH, I'd like to hear your method, but IMHO there's a reason why every folder made nowadays that is equipped for one handed opening has a thumbstud, thumb grip hole, or some simliar method.

Buckaholic, I LIKE that S30V blade Alaskan Guide with the thumbstud. I think that such a blade in on my next to acquire list. In the picture above, I would love to have the blade of the bottom knife on the handle of the one above it.

My 110, an old 2 dot, still accompanies me on camping and hunting trips, either in my pack or in an extra pouch on my belt. I do have a fondness for a knife that can dress out an entire mule deer, non-stop, without needing to be resharpened.

When I was a kid in the70's my dad would always take extra 110's with him out ito the African interior as trade goods and barter items. In the 70's, genuine Buck 110's (with the old, very hard 440C blades) were extremely valued items in the African bush. Word had it that two sharp Buck 110's could skin an entire rhino.
