Finally We Get The BEST BUCKS s30v 110/112 TRX & SPORT

[@BigOleWallace]

I’m currently deployed and I have the Buck Sport 110. It’s AMAZING. Always have loved the 110. Definitely worth every penny!!!

[@jonathancupp3686]

The Sport 110 is by far my favorite Buck of all time. I love the heft and the feel of the micarta and am sooo geeked that they used better steel. This knife is done right. Love it!!!

[@philliprobbins2170]

Just received mine and I couldn’t agree more. It’s Fantastic

[@MStraight22]

Using a knife is or should be a deliberate act, so I don't mind the "harder to close" action. It actually self teaches some knife safety for newbies, just go slow and never rush using a knife. Plus a LOT of the easy flippers just fall apart after time. Yes they are cool to flip in front of your buddies, but as a tool, for me just don't hold up. These are great tools and an awesome job on this video.

[@jonlouis2582]

Right. “Hard to break in” equals a durable knife long term.

[@insanogeddon]

Lock back rear lock knives are designed to close in a reverse grip using your strongest digit your thumb on the more robust longer so longer lasting lock bar.

[@jonlouis2582]

I have had to make warranty claims for several knives from other companies, but I have never, ever had any issue with any Buck knife. Every one regardless of price has been great.

[@genuinehawken]

Grew up with a Buck 110 and always just rotated it in my hand so it was tip down and pushed the spine what I had been working on already. I will be grabbing one of these for sure!

[@ds1468]

i was excited to try the trx slim .. got one few month back.. so much blade play.. no pivot nothing.. no washers.. not even nylon.. to get the blade to not wobble you have to tighten it so much you can't open the knife.. i'm sorry buck this is trash in today's market.. i wanted to love it..

[@birdman6499]

My buddy got one and the thumb stud wobbled. He superglued it and plenty of blade play. Their tolerances suck and I hope they read this. A 20.00 cheap Byrd knife from china. No blade play. My theory is if you want a good buck knife you have to get a fixed blade. Just telling it like it is. Want to like them but they make it difficult.

[@SimonRiley115]

When I'm in the woods I carry the orange 112trx in my pocket, the 110 custom drop point on my belt, and fmc Talon strapped to my pack😁

[@barrybueler3356]

I have the 112 in s30v with non polish green micarta handles and my favorite buck my 110 in s35vn and polished green micarta very cool cool good to see a made in USA series

[@coyoteblue9733]

The Ranger is Iconic enough to make putting the aftermarket Thumb Stud worth the money

[@albsureinc23]

Because of where the lock is located is the only reason why I haven't bought one....if it was more on the middle then it would be worth looking into

[@bronco1199]

Just got a new 112 light weight. Love it, it's holding an edge even after abuse. Nice and thin and the clip point is great for a multitude of tasks. For 15$ it's a good beater for work.

[@The4cp]

The Buck 110 sport is the best folder of all time. I jokingly suggested aluminum and G10 or micarta after the titanium and carbon fiber legacy edition came out. Either Buck listened or they already had it in the works. I'm happy 😊.

[@trailwalker19]

Just started hiking 2 weeks ago and bought my first knife... thanks for the videos!

[@gideonstactical]

Glad to help!

[@panagiotissoufliotis6558]

The lockback is the major factor why i don't have any of the series. I prefer the Tri ad lock feature for edc, for heavy use is robust and easy.

[@marygrace5231]

My grandad always had a traditional buck 110 in his pocket just like your. He latter had another one that had silver colored bolsters. And my dad always had his case 3 blade and a buck 119 or another one just like it that had a rubber handle ( if we're outdoors like fishing, camping, or hunting for the better grip.)

[@marygrace5231]

Dad used the fixed blade for hard use tasks and such.

[@Marcobuck]

Just bought the 112 sport and I ordered the 110 sport as well (they are hard to get here in Spain), I love the blade on the sport better as the trx. I've got also the 110 and 112 slim select and both, 110 and 112 classic. I love the the micarta but I have to say the classic feels better, rounder and a "warmer" feeling. But great knives, all of them.

[@ORflycaster]

The combo that works for me is a 110 original in a leather sheath, and a cheap 112 slim as a lightweight beater carried deep in the pocket without the clip. I haven't found another folder yet that feels as good in my hands as the original 110, and carrying it on my belt just means more room in my pocket for other daily carry stuff. The 112 Ranger loses feel and blade length faster than it does weight, so I prefer the 110. The 112 slim (the cheap plastic one) is short, slim, light and cheap. It rides well in my pocket, and I wish it was available with a nail notch rather than thumb stud. Just my two pesos......

[@weirdmusicmixmaster]

about time, ive been waiting for a premium with these quality improvements without the crazy mark up

[@trikelife4960]

I'm loving these new Bucks. I love that they've stayed true to their roots and waited until they had tasteful updates to the classics. I bought a 112 Slim nail nick about a year ago after your review. It's been an awesome edc. Hard to believe the overall quality for such a budget knife made in the USA.

[@richdoherty64]

I have a 110 in s30v. I carry a 112 in 420. I ordered the 112 Ranger Sport in s30v.

[@realbroggo]

One of my first knives (about 20 years ago) was a Buck 110. Loved it. Still love it. As a large EDC it just works for me. Although various versions have come along they haven't interested me. Then came the sport version. Bought it and also love it but with a couple of minor points - 1) Like you I find the thumb stud placement occasionally annoying would be better back towards the plunge or remove them but not a deal breaker. 2) Pricing is a bit high. I get it - but I did hesitate purchase because of $$$.

[@darynschultz]

Certain spyderco pocket clips line right up with those frn buck knives and look and function allot better, you can only use the two bottom holes on the spyderco clip but that’s fine the top hole Is not needed.

[@charlessalmond7076]

Good to know. Thank you.

[@gladeshunter8796]

I don’t understand why Buck can’t make a decision on the thumb stud placement they’re all the place depending on model . Seems like it cut manufacturing time to standardize the studs across the line . 110/112 slim select have it behind the plunge grind where it should be but other models don’t it makes no sense whatsoever.

[@batman19763]

I always said that 🤣

[@batman19763]

Ii iī

[@Orochi_001]

Would a 110 still be a 110 if it had a mid-backlock? That’s the one thing I’d like to see for safe one-hand closing that I don’t have to be super deliberate with.

[@davegoodridge8352]

I’m still wanting for a Case Stockman in s30v or something else thats good.

[@NeilTheKnifeGuy]

Honestly love to see the 110/112 trx work it's way into Bucks custom shop. Imagine on those platforms being able to pick from a few blade steels, scale colours and hard ware/thumb stud colors. 🎉

[@jjabberjaw8822]

The Spyderco Chaparral LW could be a competitive option for the 112s. It's CTX-XHP, 2.8 inches, a thin ambidextrous lockback, and is around $110. It's not made in the USA, but it's very good for lighter tasks.

[@albertptran]

Love the pocket clip on my 112 Slim!

[@robertsmith3584]

Agree for sure!

[@Mr.TenBelow]

Getting better and better. Wish they could make the cutting edge longer, so much knife for such a small edge.

[@thegeneral123]

Wow, I didn't know Buck made these. Got a vintage Buck 112 in 440c and a Cabelas S30V 110. Would be tempted to buy a 110 TRX. Oh wow, looked at the prices, those are very expensive for what they are.

[@rat1knives771]

I have the buck 112 slim micata in S30V steel and i love it very slicy

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

I love these sport editions!!!!

[@Ashton.everydaycarry]

One my first premium knives was a buck slim hunter pro in S30V. I love it. Super solid blade

[@toddmerriott6901]

I have the sport 110, the blade looks amazing, the color of the s30v steel I mean

[@kpfagerberg]

Indiana! My state! Glad you’re visiting

[@frogman8422]

Love the 112 Sport

[@Wcquick]

Fine Buck knife video and sentiment. Liked and subscribed

[@gideonstactical]

Awesome and welcome to the GT Crew!

[@saxcobra895]

I got the 112 sport for less than $100 on bladehq yesterday.

[@azraell33]

I think they should have used the same clip point blade from the original 110 on the lite versions. You can't beat that pointy, hollow ground blade on the original 110.

[@waholoopesorry74]

I agree. I only buy clip points

[@clandestinetactical]

Can’t wait to buy one ☝️

[@MattieBoii209]

Im ordering my buck 110 later today, was going to get another sheath but probably going to get some thumbstuds for it instead

[@frakismaximus3052]

Looks like Buck got these right!!!

[@chriscon8463]

Great video! Happy Independence Day, Aaron & GT Family!

[@stevenloy6657]

Sadly as much as I love bucks and collect them, my 112 slim select and 112 pro trx both are out for warranty. First knives I’ve ever sent in. 112 select thumb studs just popped off flicking it open, and then I could audibly hear my trx in my pocket when I walked due to the blade being so loose. Bummer, I absolutely loved my trx.

[@95666]

Thanks for the video, i just bought a lightly used 110 hunter pro from ebay.

[@95666]

Edit, 110 hunter sport and its very nice.

[@starlingblack814]

Thanks Aaron, happy Independence Day!

[@jacobbcox1985]

I would say the Native 5 is a more compatible version to the Buck 112 and Native Chief for the Buck 110. On sizes and 🇺🇸 made as well as price the Spyderco costing a lil more.

[@robertsmith3584]

A lot more here in Canada, especially Spyderco! Here slim select is the way to go.

[@givematthiswalrus4825]

Great video! love the intro

[@bearhug72]

110 folder is the best knife ever made

[@Redant751]

the 112 ranger is calling my name looks like it,s my next purchase. tanks for the heads up. :)

[@Blakdog333]

One-Hand close a Buck by flipping it 180 and press, whilst holding knife at a 45-50 degree angle to miss that blade swing!

[@demo2952]

The 715 is the best buck design

[@ewing1807]

I like these a lot. I found a kabar folding hunter that looks similar for 23 dollars. Check that out too if you haven’t it’s made in China but for 23 dollars it’s a really nice knife.

[@FD_Boss]

In the beginning with the boys holding the flag, is that Sunset Crater Volcano in AZ? Looks like it.

Why didn't you tour the Buck knife factory when you were in Idaho?

We tried to make it work but schedules just didn’t align maybe next time.

[@mikeogden5256]

I carry Buck 110&119 as edc

[@alpine1600s]

If Buck had swapped out the pocket clip on the Slim Select series, willing to bet that would be one of their best sellers, especially under $50. 🤔

[@robertsmith3584]

Have the slim select 112/110 and love them. The pocket clips are just fine, the whining about them is just whining. My 2cents worth!

[@bostonbladereviews919]

Great review. Have the 112 sport and the 110 TRX. Both great knives. As you said the TRX is a a better all around EDC! Subbed!

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks so much, welcome to the GT family

[@erictalkington5674]

Nice set of knives! I really don't like. The aftermarket thumb studs on the old school Buck 110's and 112's though. They just look, so, put of place. Brass colored ones do look better but they were never intended to have them but man a LOT of people put them on those two knives. I can, easily open my 112 with one hand a couple ways. I have a standard 112 and instead of having thumbs studs I just bought a 110 auto. Opens REAL easy one handed lol. Classic look and the button looks much better than the thumb studs. However, I gotta say as much as I don't like the thumb studs in the old school ones, I'm glad to see people still using the old school versions! I get the utility of the thumb studs but I'm just old school and like things the way they should be. I collect old revolvers and it literally disgusts me that people IMMEDIATELY take the beautiful old walnut panel grips off and out some over sized ugly rubbers on them. Why even buy an old revolver if you're gonna do that? I get it {kinda} if someone has arthritis or something if that nature, but I have seen so many grown ass middle aged dudes damn near crying because of the supposed recoil that, and I quote, "beat their hands to a bloody pulp" haha wow. They have no recoil. Even +p rounds on a 5 shot snubby does not hurt at all. At least not if you hold it properly. Many people want to hold it too low and then it does move. Hold it high and tight and you can shoot all day. Anywho I think my rant is over lol

[@demo2952]

I have been to their factory in Idaho multiple times. Employees make $14 an hour! Also, most of their machines are about as old as my grandfather

[@oceanwater6887]

Darn I wish they made more.

[@charlessalmond7076]

I feel bad for all the guys with quality control issues. I bought the pinned 110 in S30v and micarta in person at a brick and mortar store. Its perfect. Not the perfect knife for me, but construction was flawless. My suggestion to people is drive that extra half hour to hour to a real store. Inspect your items before purchase. Just my opinion.

[@kentnorman5461]

Speaking of enflation! I seen a Becker BK 2 for $119.95 in my local knife store and the BK 9 for $170.00. Crazy

[@gideonstactical]

Wow!!! 😭

[@npb3871]

I do not get the hype about micrada. Yes it looks cool but they soak up water, grease, and sweat. I was on a camping trip awhile back and used a knife that had a micrarda handle and it soaked up bacon grease and swelled up.

[@concealmenttraining9371]

Any blade play? I checked out a few bucks and they all had blade play

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Damn. Looks like I’m buying both 110s

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

What about hard use. I had a 110 fold up on me some years ago and have been using a bench made with axis lock ever since.

[@gideonstactical]

I would say medium use. Better than a liner lock. But cold steel and curtain other locking mechanism will provide more strength.

[@bosse641]

Would love to own one. ...were it not for hollow grind. Do not like that at all.

[@asog]

Can you take the thumb stud off the sport models?

[@josephmac2386]

I'm thinking about getting one of these how is the action is it smooth?

[@gideonstactical]

It’s good. It super smooth, but similar to all other buck 110/112

[@richardhenry1969]

I carried a buck through the boyscouts into the military. It was the knife I always had. I only stopped carrying because I didn't wear a belt so it was a pain. When pocket clips came out I carried spyderco but the clips fell off. Anyway I carry a coldsteel but they are my favorite I'd love a American lock back. I don't carry liner or frame failures. I think I'd like the ranger. Thickness doesn't bother me. I like everything about it.

[@fgallogallo7]

Can’t go wrong with a buck..! Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jadam-2024]

I have a few buck models with s30v and I HAVE to know what they’re doing to get s30v that soft. Aaron I actually would compare buck s30v to Spydeco vg10 and I’d go as far as say that bucks s30v does not feel all that different from their rather well done 420hc. Just my opinions after 2 years of carry and sharpening with the buck s30v. Thank you for the content.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Joshua, that's interesting mate, I have a 110 slim pro in S30 and it is quite a challenge to sharpen, not so much to keep tuned and it does hold its edge very well, but if anything it seems over hardened. Cheers Duke

[@jadam-2024]

@@eyeofthetiger4184 good chatting with you again. I’m convinced something changed which is good. I got the 841 sprint when it was just released at bass pro shops 2+ yrs ago. I believe it was one of the first models buck released with s30v. If you’re familiar it has a very thin tip. I forgot what I was doing but I managed to bend the tip. I thought “huh, shouldn’t it have broke?” . I just chalk it up to the batch, s30 is a great steel. Be well.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

​@@jadam-2024 Good chatting with you too Josh, if I may call you that, (we shorten everything over here, lol).. Anyway, I did have to look up the 841 and yes I have seen it before. As much as I love the traditionals, I reckon Buck and others are wise to offer other choices. Well, better to bend than break I guess, though that is quite surprising with the fine tip in S30. I often wonder how exact, or at least consistent, the HT process actually is. There has been many a time where reviews and others experiences have not aligned with my own observations. Sure there's a lot of variables, but seems to me the HT is often the common denominator.

[@dannyparrish724]

Great review, thanks!

[@williamhollar7844]

Does the TRX 112 have any blade play ?

I absolutely hate that they use t6 screws. T7 or bigger please!

[@the808life]

Feels like we waited so long for this it has lost a lot of relevance.. I am a huge 112 fan too but this aluminum crap sucks. Huge step down from brass and nickel! The only reason i would buy this is it would be easy to make it some killer scales but I would sand the black coating off before carrying it. And put better thumbstuds on too.. As a knife company Buck should know better than to put that big black thumb stud on a raw steel blade..wow! That alone makes it look cheap to me..Super let down with this one but I’m going to check out the custom shop and see if they offer this pocket clip on the customs now.

[@罗强-y3o]

This product is not white. It's more a sand color

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Aaron, I wouldn't be disappointed with any of these, the whole line up, past and present are simply good tools and not every folder needs to be one handed deployment/close IMO; though certainly an issue for those with limited, or no, use of their other hand. Would be great to see a clip conversion kit, (with c/sunk screws) for the "fat" clip. I have a DLT LE 110 in S35, (blade centering is out but doesn't rub, thankfully), do you know if the LEs are to continue ? or perhaps these new models make that practice somewhat redundant. Cheers Duke.

[@powersww1reset]

Why such gigantic and unnecessary thumb stud🤦🏼‍♂️. Painfully and slowly getting there, Buck😐. All of these shoulda been sweet, however, always leaving some flaw or something to be desired. And that’s just to get in the game to compete with other folders. Maybe next year will be the year that I buy a Buck folder again. But we’re still not there yet
