Prefection - A lifetime of use product. Jul 27, 2006
By D_deU
"D. de U"
I still have the Buck 110 Folding Hunter my dad gave me 34 years ago! I am a hunter (big game), fisherman, and camper and still use this knife today. I have field dressed, skinned, and cleaned all sorts of game from New Mexico to Alaska with my folding hunter.
I use the GATCO(tm) sharpning tool(s)to keep it sharp.
One word of caution -- the knife has a razor sharp edge -- and many new owners make the mistake of having their fingers across the handle when closing the knife -- will require at least 3 bandaids!
I have purchased and gifted a dozen of these knives to my children, nieces, and nephews.

a fine knife Dec 28, 2007
By Haute Connoisseur
I'm very pleased with this knife. It's big and substantial, so I'm not worried about using it on heavy tasks. It opens easily, and is quite sharp.
It's large enough that it wouldn't be comfortable in a pocket. When you order the kife it comes with a leather sheath that goes on your belt-- so don't buy the sheath as a separate item, as Amazon invites you to do.

The first and still among the best Apr 30, 2007
By Ross A. Brunetti
"RB"
I still have the one my dad gave me in 1968. It's seen so much hard use and sharpening that the blade looks more like a stiletto than a hunting knfe. Yet the hinge and lockup are as solid as 39 years ago. Yes, modern one-hand open-and-close knives have advantages, especially modern stainless steel. But I wonder how they'd hold up to what I put the Buck 110 through in the 1970's?
Bottom line: Not as functional as the modern stuff, just like a Colt 1911, but like the old 1911, it won't let you down.

My "Father's" Knife Aug 12, 2009
By Paul K. Brickey
My father had this knife and when I was a kid I loved it. I would take it out and lightly oil it and sharpen it for him. Once being a stupid kid, I was throwing it at a tree trunk and I broke off a half inch off the tip. I hid it from him but he eventually found it.
Fast forward 20 years later and I was a new Army private going to school at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio Texas. I bought one for both my father and I and we both still have ours.
This knife is truly a classic and should be issued to every red blooded American boy at birth. I've skinned a dozen deer with it. I have it here in Iraq with me now.
There's no play in the blade and the wood and brass is simple yet handsome. The brass is soft, like some reviews have said, but every nick and ding in mine would have broken a lesser knife. The blade is like silk and I can readily shave with it.
True, it is rather large for a folding knife and to the novice it may take two hands to open. A lot of the guys in my platoon have the newer high speed knives that only need one hand to open and everything. But the talcum-powder dust here clogs them and the springs can break. Again, simplicity and elegance wins the day. When they need a sharp knife, a real sharp knife they ask for mine. I have complete faith in the quality and ruggedness that I have no problem lending it to the soldiers in my platoon.
Buy it and pass it on. I will be passing mine on but not before buying my own again!

This is a great knife Dec 09, 2006
By E. B. Lamberts
I got mine used about 30 years ago, and it's the one knife in all those years that hasn't fallen apart, broken, of (thankfully) gotten lost. Like the guy in the other review said, this is the knife that your dad should have passed on to you. And it's the one you'll want to pass on to your son.
About the quality and construction, it really is first rate. It opens and closes very smoothly, & the locking mechanism is very secure; the steel for the blade is difficult to sharpen, but once finely sharpened it retains an edge.
When I pull mine out, it doesn't scream fancy or quality, but other guys that know about these things want to look at my old knife. The Buck 110 is a ready to use heirloom! The Amazon price is a very reasonable!
