A Knife for a Lifetime
My knife just arrived today. This has to be the monster truck of pocket knives. Sharp enough to shave with and beautiful in design. Almost too nice to use. Perfect size for everyday use and big enough to tackle jobs that other knives would fail at accomplishing. Love the finger grooves and the beautiful wood handles. If you cannot carry a fixed blade knife, this would be the one to have with you. The design and finishing is great. Very tight lock-up and solid blade support when extended. I don't hunt, but I know why hunters prize this knife. Good feel and heft. Perfect blade design. Knife Center shipping was fast and this along with a Chicago Cutlery utility knife, they both arrived in perfect condition. Really a lifetime knife if properly cared for. Thanks. Gary

Satisfied customer
Previously bought this same knife without finger grooves from Walmart but did not come with leather sheath so bought 2 with the grooves from Knife Center for me and stepson. They did come with leather sheaths and we both are satisfied with the knives.

A classic knife, and a wonderful value
The Buck 110— I wanted to own a classic, and this was an outstanding value, particularly on sale. For $40.00 I received a well-made knife (USA manufactured), a decent leather sheath, and a lifetime warranty. As it arrived in the box, the action was relatively gritty and it took some oiling and cleaning to remove all the internal manufacturing residue. But after spending several hours working the action, it smoothed up considerably, and I believe it will wear in even more. At over seven ounces, the knife is heavy. One can expect this, considering the large amount of brass used in its construction. Although this is a matter of personal preference, for me the brass adds tremendous visual appeal. Some will enjoy the heft of the piece. Others will find it ponderous, particularly if placed directly in the pocket. The knife is definitely is more comfortable to carry in the sheath, attached to one’s belt. After working in the action, it now opens smoothly and locks up as tightly as a bank vault. While others have devised ways to open it one-handed, I feel safer using both hands. The lock spring is stout. The blade is well-centered. However, the surface finish was slightly uneven, with dull areas close to the pivot point on both sides. And the top of the blade towards the front was acute enough to require some polishing and breaking of an unduly sharp edge with a flat soft Arkansas honing stone. But the actual grind and edge bevel (the stuff that really matters) were well-executed. The cutting edge of the knife was shaving sharp. Considering the forty dollar cost, these are minor cosmetic flaws only. The marketplace is full of comments about the 420HC blade stock. This particular stainless steel has a reputation for needing frequent re-sharpening. However, Buck claims that their heat treating process brings out the best in this steel, and many Buck owners agree that re-sharpening is not a problem, or a frequent need. I haven’t used this knife enough yet to offer an opinion. The Buck 110 has been manufactured continuously since 1963. It has a long history of proud owners with wonderful memories of putting their knives to heavy and diverse use. I am pleased to count myself among the owners of this classic icon.

Cool knife.
I initially got this for EDC, but it's a little to big. Have it in an emergency kit now. Very good quality and sharp out of the box.

The Perfect Buck
Buck's "Hunter" is a fantastic folder. Big, but not too big, & it's rock solid. I know this because I've been carrying a Buck for more than two decades. I've only ever had to replace one from shortening the blade from years of sharpening, I've never had to replace one because it failed. It's heavy, but nicely balanced, and has all the classic good looks. The leather sheath is SUPER sturdy. It's also interesting to note, that over these last 20plus years, the quality has never wavered.

Outstanding Value
I owned one of the fine Buck knives 44 years ago and it was stolen not too long after I purchased it and couldn't afford a replacement. I don't think the original price in 1970 was much less than I paid for this one from KnifeCenter. I probably won't use the knife as I bought it for nastalgic reasons and the fact that I can now afford to buy a knife I won't use. The blade, despite not being an exotic steel, is extremely sharp and without flaws. The handles are beautifully finished wood with a commemorative medallion insert. The bolster a nicely polished brass. It has a well made real leather sheath that fits the knife perfectly to boot. In the day of assisted opening tactical knives (which I also have a passion for) this knife is a true work of art and a beartifull example of knife craftmanship.

Awesome Christmas present!
I gave this 50th Anniversary knife as a Christmas present for my new son-in-law, who is a hunter, and he absolutely loved it! It was so sharp he shaved the hair off his arm! And he liked the finger grooves and well made leather sheath. He previously used an old Buck knock-off which is now replaced by this awesome knife! The quality was outstanding! I don't think he'll ever need another hunting knife! He is hard to buy for and he was very pleased!

Absolutely no complaints with this knife. It can be used by any outdoorsman. Has an extremely durable blade, it can be hard to sharpen but I would not use any other knife for dressing large game to cleaning a turtle with tough hide. The ONLY knife to have for hunting and camping.

Buck 110 Folding Hunter 3-3/4" Blade, Finger Grooved, Macassar Ebony
I own Six or so. Wear one on my belt every day. I use it 10 or more times a day for anything and everything with no worries about abusing it. Strong, durable, beautiful, dependable, best value and materials. NOT made in China. Great weight and balance. I give them to buddies every so often when I see they need a great knife. I work in commercial building maintenance and give my knife real work out every day. Wear out those leather sheaths every year or two so I buy three at a time just to have another one when I need one. Haven't lost or broken one of these knifes yet. Just a few quick swipes across the sharpening stone keeps it more sharp than any knife. Almost 50 years old got my first one when I was in Boy Scouts, had them ever since. Every Real Man either has one or needs one. Carve up multiple deer, fish, ducks, squirrel, etc. every year.

Every MAN should own one of these!
I use this knife every day for something. Buck 110 brought me through a full Military career. I cut a lot of duct tape, rope and paracord with this knife. I have used it in the past every day as well for various uses and needs. In today's world it is considered "heavy," but one thing you can count on for sure is that it will definitely get the job done, no matter what the job requires! Knife Center has the lowest price I found and when my knife arrived I was very well pleased at the flawless quality! Thank you Knife Center!

My every day knife
I rec'd this knife as a retirement present. It has been my favorite EDC knife ever since. The tempering process of this steel is amazing to me. My BUCK knife is easy to maintain a razor edge. Yet cost is half what you'd pay for a knife built with so-called premium steel. The design of this knife is perfect for me and blade length is not intimidating. In summary, this knife is a KEEPER!

This is A Knife
Great knife. Sharp as a razor blade. Love the finger-grooved handle. Fits your hand like a glove. Wood grips are beautiful and comfortable. Best folding knife I have ever owned. All the functions of a fixed-blade knife in a compact package. 43 years young and still going. Mr.Buck hit a grand slam with this knife.

You need one.
I have and carry many different knives. But not a minute goes by (Except maybe showers) that I don't have one of my 110's with me. I say "one of" because I have 5 of them. You're not going to hack down a tree with it, but short of that this knife will do it all. If you don't have one, you need one.

My first Buck knife!
I honestly do not know why I took so long to purchase the 110. I’ve always been into knives, and have a decent size collection of cheap lock blades/folders. I am blown away with how good this feels in my hand, and the quality of the handle. From the polished brass, to the wood scales. Absolutely beautiful. The blade is razor sharp out of the box! Took a lot of arm hair off with the shave test! I will soon be purchasing the 119, and might as well get a 112 too! Very Fast shipping from knife center!

The standard of all pocket knives (at least lockback).
As an anology, In the world of acoustic steel strung flat top guitars their is a standard make and model. Which is the Martin D28. Which is a handcrafted guitar as Buck is a handmade knife. Martin has a tradition behind their products as does Buck. Martin is Made in America so to is Buck. The standard is now set.

BUCK 110-Why buy anything other than a buck 110?
This will be my second Buck knife I have owned. Some may say 2 is not enough to have accurate data for, but.... My first one lasted 7 years before some low-lifes broke into my truck and stole it, amount other things. I decided to upgrade to the finger groove model, and I wanted the 50th anniversary model because I hope one day I can pass it down. With a buck 110 I have: Used it as a wedge to split 2x4s Cut metal bundle straps Whittled on some wood Cleaned deer and hogs Made extra holes in my belt Cut my finger nails Shaved my face GET THE POINT? THIS KNIFE IS THE BADDEST VALUE IN THE MARKET! Especially from knife center 👍👍👍
