All that dirt you cleaned out , 65 years ago my beautiful, honest Public school teachers told us we be hassling with today. Thanks for putting them in there place , ( the garbage can ) .

[@mikeogden5256]

I love ❤BUCK 110 and 112….

[@duybear4023]

Don't have a Buck 110 but I feel a Swiss Army Knife would have similar maintenance. You've inspired me to clean mine out.

[@rhinooningo2865]

I greatly appreciate your love for the Buck 110 and 112. Thanks for another great video! I also enjoyed your metaphors for the nastiness that you have to remove from your Buck when it becomes burdened with evil filth. SPOT ON. BRAVO!

Finally, a man who handles Communism appropriately!

Huh

[@MrGratefulEd]

Awesome old skool knife, materials and methods. My kinda content!

[@JohnnyJuke]

Unfortunately, I can't dedicate an entire channel to this content, but I would if I could!

[@MrGratefulEd]

No worries Johnny, I like your style. Most one-topic tubers get boring eventually. It's a favorite topic of mine and led me to this channel. That's where I found your music. It strikes a chord (hehe) with me as well.@@JohnnyJuke

I own a 110 from 1989 V marked new in box with leader sheath and all papers. There is even a little bag Flitz metal polish with it. I will clean it the way you did it and keep it unused in my Buck collection. The 110 is a great knife but i carry more than 30 years a German made Böker Optima as a EDC and it still works like it was new. I prefer the optima because you can switch blades in a second so you have always the right shape blade, a saw or gut opener with you. The Optima with some extra blades is the most versatile knife for hunting fishing and outdoor use. Tanks for showing👍Cheers!

[@user-ze2rn1nz8h]

Thanks for sharing your method. I work in sandy crawlspaces and dig so much sand/clay i stopped oiling my folding hunters

[@wayneholmes637]

When it was my EDC I would put my 110FG in an ultrasonic cleaner every 4 to 6 months then very lightly oil once dry.

Thanks! You too!

Hey Johnny Juke man that half stop is what's happening you made a good knife a spectacular one and that's awesome. 👍

[@powerplay4real174]

I'm sold in the Spyderco Sharpmaker ⏰ Cool song too Johnny 👍

[@craigmccall7450]

Just got my first 110 today! She's a little stiff, so here I am.

[@JohnnyJuke]

WD and 3/1 or mineral oil. Let me know how you make out.

[@craigmccall7450]

The 110 is all smooth now. It definitely had some buffing compound or something gritty inside. The WD douching blew her out clean. Now working open/close wial the TV shows me something stupid. 😸

[@ilijabosnjak76]

I have never watched cleaning method it just came Naturally to me like a meeting long lost friend... I got lucky and got 110 Alaskan Guide in S30V steel...What I wanted my whole life,I finally have one,but without any doubt those are cool knives

[@bartcornelius7717]

I've gotta get mine out of the drawer and carry it.

[@superseries7007]

WD-40 and high pressure air on my 110 4 dot. One and done. 😎

[@escapetherace1943]

put a drop of oil in it after that wd40 dries out

[@MrVitamincpp]

love the song :)

[@Sgt_Slaps]

Just picked up my 3rd buck knife today, it so happens to be a buck 110 so thank you for this video!!

[@JohnnyJuke]

You're welcome!

[@charalamposnitsios7910]

I carry a lot of knifes but the buck is in my backpack...was a present from 96 with fingergrooves

[@SimonRiley115]

🤣👍 I soak mine with truth to keep the isms out daily. Great video

[@starlingblack814]

My stepson carried one of these Bucks for years, but snapped off the tip while opening crates at his hardware store job. He was pretty sick about it, so I gave him a new one for his birthday. I was quite impressed by its build and quality. Now I think I need one too. Thanks Johnny for the video.

[@Jex_the_Vex]

Should use that forever warranty and get the blade replaced for the other one

[@TinyIslandMaine]

Nice video. Mineral oil lube for me as I commonly use my knives on food. Also it does not turn rancid.

[@richardkut3976]

Better taste & smell to boot.

[@KE8NUF]

@@richardkut3976I didn’t know mineral oil had a smell

[@richardkut3976]

@@KE8NUF Hello, I must have not been clear, petroleum oil has the older. I use mineral oil, it's great for antler also rehydrates & helps keep them from cracking. Take care,

[@Cerote420]

Man I used to have the same exact knife loved it but I lost it when I moved anyways great video you get my 👍 and gained a new subby cheers my friend.

[@JohnnyJuke]

My pleasure and thanks!

[@riverrunner23]

I really like the Spyderco sharpening system, as it's more convenient than hauling out the KME one. Let me know if you want/need a kitchen knife, as I can spare one of the too many I've got. Thanks, and ejnoy.

[@kanukkarhu]

Hahaha! Love the "communism" analogy! Hilarious! Also loved that song! Super cool! Lol! "Harmonica solos can suck.. " Hahahah! Great video. Love my 112. First real knife I bought.

[@treborkroy5280]

Is he trying to say cosmoline? I don't get the joke apparently.

[@kanukkarhu]

@@treborkroy5280 It stems back to previous videos - an 'inside' joke type of thing. It's a pun on the origin of the blade I believe.

[@Mikex0123]

I've been using motor oil on my Buck 110. It works and doesn't cost $15 for 0.5 ounces like the fancy knife oil some people use.

[@killshot2534]

If I don’t have that Hule 3 in 1 is it okay to use hoppes No.9, CLP, or even ballistol oil.

[@JohnnyJuke]

Should be fine.

[@JohnnyJuke]

Mineral oil for food prep

[@AaronFait]

Liked it and copied on my new 110

[@markwalters1584]

Marathon 🎉

[@AaronFait]

Thanks for this! Removed all ism possible. A Q to you, my 110 tip got broken 1-2mm. What you suggest to do? Thanks!

[@JohnnyJuke]

Depending on your skill level, you could fix it yourself or send it back to Buck and they will repair it or put in a new blade for you, they have a great warranty.

[@kirbycreekmo]

Multi-level great as always. Rumble isn't a habit yet but I'm sure glad you're there. By chance was this the song in your head on the bike bugout? Definitely catchy and yet another I watched the video twice to hear it again. As for buying you a cup of coffee, I'm in but hate it when communists, marxists and fascists take a cut. If there is a method that JJuke9 gets 100% please let me know.

[@JohnnyJuke]

Much appreciated my friend. Your comment is worth more than any coffee!

[@richardkut3976]

I have some Mao, cruding up my KA-BAR 1189, (folks mistake it for a Buck 110), a few differences. Motivated to kick the Commies Crap out of this U.S.A. beauty. Thank you,

[@jayes4859]

My new buck 110 does not stop halfway to hold it in position. Did they remove that feature?

[@JohnnyJuke]

Never had it. This is one of my mods.

[@molonlabe3083]

Thank you for this brother! I just bought the 120th Anniversary Edition of the 110 today. My blade seems to have one hell of a recurve to it, as well as blade play (side to side) Looking at your 110, your edge looks like a straight edge compared to mine. I’m guessing I got a Monday morning model…

[@JohnnyJuke]

Recurves have their place, but a 110?

[@molonlabe3083]

@@JohnnyJuke I sent it back for a replacement. Whoever was grinding that blade must have been having a bad day! Lol. Before I even took it out of the package I could tell the blade didn’t look right, but their QC is pretty suspect.

[@kriskabin]

I've read about a lot of problems with those Buck anniversary models.

[@bobdayton9608]

I am a hunter. The Buc 110 Folding Hunter is at heart, a HUNTING knife. A 15 degree edge is much too thin for a hunting knife. I guess if you want to cut tomatoes in the kitchen, then it is ok. My 110 has a 20 degree edge. By the way, please clean up your Spyderco sharpening rods. They are gross.

[@holmes1978]

What do you recommend for the wood ?

[@JohnnyJuke]

Mineral Oil

[@MrWinger1951]

Am I seeing "double"? Two watches that is? Marathon on the left and a Garmin Fenix on the right? I have both watches so might need to give that a go!

[@JohnnyJuke]

Garmin Tactix Delta. One goes beep beep and the other goes deep deep😎

[@bittabrutha31]

What kind of bearings are in a buck knives 110 is it OK for water?

[@JohnnyJuke]

No bearings. Water ok, for cleaning. Dry and mineral oil.

[@Thrael72008]

Got one recently. I didn't have the chance to clean it thoroughly as it was grape harvest season at our vineyard and I got the package on the last day. It was pretty nasty with gunk all over. I didn't like the fact that the brass was scratched and the polishing was sloppy. Anyway the blade is off center but I can live with it. PS. Any suggestions on how to soften the sheath? It's tight like it was made for 112... makes the edge touch metal.

[@JohnnyJuke]

I have a video on centering the 110. Work the sheath with your hands for a day or two, bending and squashing etc. Use a mink oil or saddle soap and work it in. Hope this helps.

[@Thrael72008]

@JohnnyJuke Thanks, I 'll check the video. I was thinking about castor oil at first but then I found saddle soap in horseriding gear stores. Never heard of it before tbh. The ingredients are common though.

[@johnobannon2291]

Don't try to soften the sheath because it can change the shape. It's a 'friction fit'. You want the sheath to soften over time and mold itself to the knife. Break it in by wearing it.

[@Thrael72008]

@johnobannon2291 excuse my inexperience but like others, I too notice that the tight sheath pushes the blade edge against the lock. Should I just wait till it breaks in and disregard the edge touching the back?

[@johnobannon2291]

@@Thrael72008 You could work the sheath in a little with your hands as suggested above. I wouldn't use any chemicals though personally, but the heat from your hands will work well to open the leather up after 5 minutes or more. But also, there is a gap between where the edge of the blade rests when it's closed, and the inside of the lock where the blade could actually touch the lock. So there's some breathing room in there even if the sheath feels tight. But is it squeezing the knife so much that it's pushing in the lockback? If so then the sheath was probably just made a little smaller (it won't accidentally be a 112 sheath because then it wouldn't be long enough to close the snap on the sheath, 112s are a little shorter). If it's tight enough to compress the lockback, break in the inside a little bit with an old pocket knife first. Edit: After reading your original post again, you may just have a slightly bad production (Blade off center and such). Remember that 110s have a warranty and you could send it in for the production defects to be repaired for free. Their website certainly has the full details.

[@kingsmoke1855]

If you use that knife to cut food, aren’t you gonna taste the oil and wd40?

[@JohnnyJuke]

Yes if you dont keep wiping it down. The oil and wd will only remain in the pivot areas. Mineral oil is recommended for food.

[@kingsmoke1855]

@@JohnnyJuke oh ok I forgot you used food mineral oil… I use kpl original

[@kingsmoke1855]

Can I do the cleaning with hot water only? And not use wd40

[@JohnnyJuke]

Yes.

[@escapetherace1943]

@@kingsmoke1855 mineral oil attracts tons of gunk/dust though I still use it. Even with the tiniest drop you'll see it coming out onto the blade weeks later
