The Buck 110 is the most iconic of all USA knives. It is the original large Lockback Folding Hunter/Large Utility knife. It soon became so well known that the term "Buck knife" came to mean any large folding knife. Soon Schrade followed with the LB7 which by about 2 1/2 years into production (1980) over one million had already been sold. But the Buck 110 started this style of knife.
I got this one on ebay recently from a mom & pop type seller who had all kinds of odds and ends listed and this one knife. It had been her husbands, a Washington State trooper. He is said to have bought it in 1982 and wore it on his belt every day he worked until retirement in 2004. He considered it part of his uniform.
This is one of the nicest examples i have seen:





Often with either the 110, 112 or the Schrade LB7, the very tip of the blade is gone and the blade end has been re-worked to create a new tip. If this has been well done it can be hard to tell unless you look at it closed to see how close the tip comes to the end of the well. This one has the original tip:



Here is the back of the sheath. I think it might be a special one for police officers ? Maybe someone is familiar with these ?

Great looking and interesting piece of history KJ, especially that it was carried day in and day out and well loved (which is alot of what traditionals are all about for myself)

Much appreciated Gevo, thank you:thumbup: It's actually a very old candlestick with a snuffer, just about visible behind the candle and with a curved handle. Presumably for carrying upstairs to bed in old times

Thanks Ryo. The Trooper's wife said he was very proud of his Buck knife and would only carry it for work and never used it at other times. Somehow this knife does seem special even now, as though some of the love and care he gave it still resides within the knife. I get this same feeling with some customs but rarely with production knives. I have a few Buck 110's and this 'Trooper' 110 definitely stands out as the finest.

Real nice kj, both the knife and the photos.
I'm glad you found this one, it's background makes it extra special and deserving of a home where it will be truly appreciated.

Loving that holster! I need one like that for my 1980 110. I still have the original holster but I love the woven look.

I was lucky to get this NOS 2 dot 110.
