THANK YOU. I found my dad’s Buck 100 folding knife after he passed away & could not figure out how to safely close it. 🙏🏼

[@alcurtis236]

Thanks! Just got my first Buck 110, and this really helps. Now to get it loosened up for easy opening!

[@tuzu1758]

So, in my 45 years of 110 ownership. I should stop using my thigh or side of my leg to close it? Maybe some people are just prone to self harm.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

Please please can you do a video on how to get out of that chair properly. You should sell this video to saturday night live!!!

[@swakv]

Thanks for the helpful video

[@guido20071970]

I owe you one. Tomorrow I was planning to send my 110 back to the shop as too hard to press the lock release. It didnt need work, I needed training! Thanks

[@pktexas4755]

Bless you, i have a 501 of my Dad's, got it open and couldn't close it, scared I would cut myself. Your tip works perfectly. thanks.

[@user-xp5qx8wg9x]

Thank you. Did the trick.

[@brianwilliams-se5jy]

maybe some people aren't ready for a knife if they need this

[@clnraider3358]

Thx helped a lot have a good day

[@MostHappyintheWild]

Glad it helped

[@clnraider3358]

MikeHermes I subbed 😁

[@MostHappyintheWild]

@@clnraider3358 Thank you

[@m.a.jensen2415]

Thank you so much. I was petrified so i put gloves on and put the blade in the sheath before I could get the courage to close the knife. No more knives for me :)

[@orowock1]

every so often I drop the knife while closing it or sometimes opening it. Better to pick it up with the right hand or the left hand ? so the process you just showed can be repeated.

[@Fighterforjustice-l6y]

Buck 110 is very good knives. But is very inconvenient for EDC. For EDC I prefer knife with liner lock and tip down.

[@enriqueoliva6988]

Thank you for teaching

[@kennykamensky993]

If you can’t close the knife without cutting yourself I suggest you not use it ,it’s not rocket science

[@joewickie2376]

Must be aimed at gen x who weren't allowed to touch sharp objects .

[@davidstrickler6570]

Funny as hell.​@joewickie2376

[@nick9573]

Thank you

[@muddymo7641]

Thank you so much. I've lost 6 fingers closing mine wrong......

[@myrrh9]

I inherited a Buck knife and it won't close - there is no thing at the far end to snap it shut???

[@mikeshawbrook-selfreliance]

If there a little thing to push sideways ?

[@robertb.3651]

Can't understand people today are not familiar with the most fundamental tasks in life 🤦🤦🤦.

[@janonthemtn]

Thanks for this video. I have a similar knife that will not close. It prviously was working. I have no idea why it won't close.

[@MostHappyintheWild]

Does the internal mechanism still function ?

[@janonthemtn]

@@MostHappyintheWild I finally got it to close>Motorkote, I hope I didn't wreck it. It's still hard to close. I noticed a crack in a thin, yellow metal next to the blade. That may be the problem. Thank you for answering💗

[@krieg4699]

Thank you sir

[@MostHappyintheWild]

Thank you

[@michaelwells7348]

And don’t look down your Gun Barrel when it jams....

[@ahadfazal7177]

I wish i could buy it .i like it

[@BigLewBBQ]

That’s how I have always closed one.

[@isabel-jn9fl]

i couldnt close mine and was scared to shit and didnt want to cut myself ty

[@amatsereaurarathirdgenecru8114]

THANK YOUUUU

[@TheBlueScroom]

opened mine and it wouldnt close untili watched lol

[@RDPproject]

It still surprises me how stupid some people are with knife handling. I know at least 2 individuals I could send this to, but they'd probably take offense to it....lol

[@MostHappyintheWild]

Hey, I made the video for a reason... so they are out there :-)

[@walker7155]

being ignorant doesnt make you stupid. now trying to close it and putting yourself in danger improperly is stupid.

[@sdriza]

I grew up with knives, so I was shocked when - at ~24 yrs old - a guy at work asked me to close a knife for him...

[@JackFlaps]

so the secret is to get your fingers out of the way

[@ROE1300]

🤔 My friends and I learned how to close a folding knife in the Cub Scouts. I guess like Civics and Social Studies important knowledge is not being taught to children any more. It is a pity ...

[@MostHappyintheWild]

I agree

[@davidr2975]

That is a stupid way to close it, your fingers should never be close to the sharp end of the blade period.

[@demo2952]

Wrong! Close it one handed on your hip

[@jlr3636]

Back around 1970, I worked at Buck Knives in El Cajon, California, assembling the 110. I will describe the absolute most dangerous way to close a 110…. Hold the open knife, point towards you sharp edge of the blade up, try to hold the back of the blade only… while holding firmly, sharply rap the blade release notch on the hard edge of a table … the rap will depress and release the locked blade partially rotating it closed … carefully close the blade until safe and place in sheath. Disclaimer- table and fingers have been severely damaged using this method, this method should only be attempted by a licensed, certified, and insured professional. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt this procedure unless within the confines of a hospital emergency room. Never attempt while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, never attempt while sane or insane, or awake or asleep. I only attempted this procedure BEFORE the blade was sharpened. Additional Information - be warned-- not every Buck Knife can be folded to a closed position… they also produce some very fine ridged, non-folding knives. Great body injuries may occur if you attempt to fold these non-folding knives. Buck Knives also offers an excellent warranty on each and every knife encase you snap a blade while attempting to fold a non folding knife, non folding knives come with a sheath for a reason.
