How to rescale a Buck Knife 110

How to Rescale a Buck Knife 110 Rescale Build (step by step)

[@buudy22]

A lot of ignorant and rude comments on here. You did a great job! I love the colors on that knife. Thank you for sharing! 1. A craftsman is not made great by his tools. His tools are made great by his craftsmanship. 2. The buck 110 is a legendary knife that goes back generations of deer hunters. It’s all I’ve used for my 20+ deer.

[@jeremiahjohnson9908]

That is beautiful, I never would have thought of hackberry as a knife scale, but that turned out just gorgeous. Great work.

Mate I read all the comments, I just dont get some people. How you achieve your Art is immaterial, what you use, what you can afford maters not. The things that mater are did you enjoy yourself, You can see you did. Did you create something unique and different, Most defiantly. Did you do it your way, "Hell Yer" and thats all that maters. Some of the wankers who commented need to go get lives mate. Thank you for taking the time to show us how and what you can do. Bless Dave

Appreciate that, my tools are not anchored because I have Spina Bifida and I prefer to work directly on the ground. Yes, people don't know what they don't know, thanks 👍

[@hillbilly4christ638]

I like the matte finish on the scales contrasted with a high shine on the bolsters. You encouraged me to try this on an old 110 that I have. I have some finely curled maple that I want to finish like an old muzzleloader.

[@rushtonworks9186]

I've done curled maple wood as well. It's a great choice. Good luck!

Customized so many during the 70s lost count, even put finger grooves before they were commercially available, Did it for my friends as gifts , used a lot of horn and some stag !. Even today will be hanging out with my friends and they bring them out at our cookouts ! Makes you feel good your friends are so proud of them !

[@rushtonworks9186]

Nice, made a few for family and friends and they won't use them not wanting to "mess" them up-become Sunday carry knives

[@ElfAzzid]

Lot of criticism here. Chill people. Anyway... I have a knife very much like this one. Imitation I think. But it was my Fathers. He had it for a very long time, and its seen a lot of use. He passed in 2007, and Ive had his knife since. I'd like to restore it. One of the scales is missing al together. I think Im going to repin it as well though. Thanks for the tutorial!

Excellent Craftmanship!

Very nice !

[@randyfukuda8562]

Beautiful!! That is a labor of love!!

[@tested123]

can you do one where you keep the scales bulky and carve in finger flutes. nice rounded edges. that would be unique.

How do you stop the epoxy from going inside threw the pin holes

Thanks, I own two but I'm not brave enough lol

[@brucepugsley8115]

@@rushtonworks9186 I bought some awesome bone scales, but I’d like to see if anyone has done one. I’m thinking it’s about the same as non auto 110’s except the push button.

[@ProdigalSuns]

Would you use these scales again? Looks good to me.. great video

[@rushtonworks9186]

I would and did a few more with resin wood hybrids-thanks for looking!

[@ButterbeanOutdoors]

Awesome job man. When you are hand sanding it down will the sand paper scuff up the bolsters? and if so can you buff the scuffs back out or just need to be careful?

[@rushtonworks9186]

Yes, you sand across the bolsters so you know your scales are flush with them. If you do it right you cannot tell where the scale ends and the bolster begins. If you start with 80-100 grit you end with 1000-1200 which allows you to then polish the bolsters just for a nice mirrored shine.-good luck!

[@ButterbeanOutdoors]

@@rushtonworks9186 thanks! this is so awesome

[@rushtonworks9186]

Thanks, I'd tape off the scales once you are ready to buff the bolsters or you will darken the scales. I've done that.

[@ButterbeanOutdoors]

@@rushtonworks9186 good tip. Thanks so much

[@christopherrobinson9690]

Practice makes perfect. Keep honing the skill brother!!

[@rushtonworks9186]

Thanks!

[@TRUTHandANSWERS]

How did you not scratch the brass bolsters?

[@rushtonworks9186]

They do get scratched but as you go from heavier to finer sandpaper they disappear until you buff and polish

[@williamfoster9024]

That was a grate movie you show us. I love the blue too. Thank you Mister for teach us how! Ok by.

[@RobertRichardson-f2p]

No need to peen main pin.If you cut it in half,you will have a backup piece.Just sand main pin until it reaches both sides of brass liners

[@vincentrosa9631]

Professional job

[@gentlemensedge5503]

Nice work. I know it's a lot of work to make even the simplest videos. I also make scales but for straight razors. Now I know what I'm going to do with the scale material I have over here..

Never shipped to Russia. $175 plus shipping

[@neeko7878]

Just a question... no judgement here... Do you do all of your work sitting down on the concrete??? Nice finish job on the scales! They look solid. Do you have good experience with that epoxy holding?

[@rushtonworks9186]

I have Spina Bifida and I find that sitting on the ground the least painful way to work, and most balanced

[@rushtonworks9186]

Never had any issues with epoxy not holding, thanks for the compliment on the finish-never exactly know what you are going to get til it's done.

[@jeffreymoore9002]

Iv'e been thinking about using some Petrified Wood like was gifted to me for some scales! Just don't have the means to cut it right now.

[@rushtonworks9186]

I have some mammoth teeth I hope to do one of these days. Yes, much harder to do petrified wood too.

[@matttherrien9608]

That was a great idea. Some of that Indonesian petrified wood is absolutely beautiful.

[@artm6723]

Didn't you say you were going to use the plastic putty knife so you wouldn't mar the brass?

[@rushtonworks9186]

Didn't need it because on this knife they just popped out

[@larryalbritton4762]

Nice work,But do you need any pins to hold the scales on? Or will the glue hold them,Thanks

[@rushtonworks9186]

I've done a dozen of these without pins and had no issues You can order a custom Buck from them without pins as well so you shouldn't have any issues. Thanks for looking!

[@larryalbritton4762]

Sorry to worry you but i am a beginner knife restorer and i have a question or two.You seam very knowledgeable .I am restoring some old Case XX knives,Cleaning and putting Stag scales on them.What brand of glue do you recommend and do i need to pin them on. Thanks very much.Albritton Wholesales

[@rushtonworks9186]

@@larryalbritton4762 didn't mean to sound defensive but some comments make it seem that you have to have pins. You do not. I used a generic two part apoxy and if you clamp then overnight it really holds well. If you're using deer horn scales try to cut them just larger than the bolsters so when you sand them flush you don't take off the pattern. Good luck!

[@mr.wingmaster3645]

Do you only do custom work for yourself or do you do if for others as well?

Not sure, but in most Commonwealth countries a locking blade is considered an offensive weapon.

[@6ty8stang]

Not sure if it’s too late but the scales that you sanded too much will fit on a 112 which is a smaller version of the 110

[@careembombi1845]

i wouldn't have done it this way ?! i woold have kept the wooden pieces

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

I was wondering what the heck I thought you were going to put the pins back in that's the reason I watched put it back to original just with different scales with glue in it on is kind of I don't know doesn't seem right

[@rushtonworks9186]

Never had an issue with no pins. If you order a custom Buck off their sight you can get them without pins.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

@@rushtonworks9186 not a issue, but not ''original'ish''.....and more skillfull to do so. ''if ya had a real work bench and a chair'' 🙄

[@sandymilne224]

You probably now know you didn’t need to punch in the scale pins... only the silver lock back pin. The other ones come out when the scales are pried away from the knife with your plastic spatula. You made more work for yourself.

[@rushtonworks9186]

I have to disagree with you. They do not come off when scales are pried away

[@rushtonworks9186]

@@sandymilne224 I've done this a dozen times and I've never had those scales just pop out and as I said in the video you are more likely to mar the metal prying at them and yes I've seen his video. Try it either way and see if you are more successful at popping them off than I have been.

It is a freaking workhorse. People in the are skewing the perception of what "good" is with all these expensive knives that never get used. I'm not saying I'd put $300 scales on a 110, since I'd be using it, but crappy? Nah.

Hahahaha they have been making buck knives before you was born. They create the back lock system. All knives that have a lock release on the end of the tang uses this same design.
