sheesh, thats awesome. Just got my first buck. its the 110 slim, pairing it with my sebenza as my beater knife. love how it feels so far tho and honestly performs better than my sebenza. Doesnt feel as premium but cannot deny the performance of the blade geometry and the comfortable handle

I was a Boatswain’s Mate in the Navy in the 80s. My 112 and my marlinspike hung off my belt at all times. Butterfingers me kept losing them over the side. But I kept buying them. Went through at least five of them. I still have one today, though. Always been a great knife.

you’re lucky because you got one of the bucks when they used 440c before they switched to 425m and now 420hc which are major downgrades imo, 420hc is stupidly tough (like the same toughness as 3v) and stainless but it’s edge retention is very lacking imo. 440c has much better edge retention

Just had the best video idea! “Safe queens” and their hard use counterparts. So you’d start with some beautiful, machine ground, damasteel knife that costs more than a truck and then pair it either with a like folding or fixed blade that either has similar shape characteristics or has a same sort of feel but is geared toward hard use. This is brilliant

Luckily I grew up near a town where Schrade knives used to be made in New York at a small factory. Those knives that were made here were indestructible and always made with pride by hand. It's sad to see what Schrade has become but atleast I got to experience a cool part of knife history.

I think it's fairly simple: A) phosphor bronze washers (no multiples, nylon/Teflon or ball bearing) - better yet a fixed blade. Less or no moving parts the better. B) Decent steel, at least VG-10/154CM or equivalent. particle metallurgy a plus. I like S30V or S35VN. A nice carbon steel would also work. C) Chemical, water, and impact-resistant handle materials like G-10, Aluminum, Titanium or Stainless steels. D) Versatile blade and handle design. No hot spots or minimized. E) Simple, robust lock design. Good backlocks, framelocks/linerlocks over the more complex cross-bar locks. The Spyderco compression lock probably fits the criteria.
@Phaminator525
@Phaminator525 2 жыл бұрын
Good list but I would also add another qualification which is a more robust blade design. Not saying its for prying but sometimes you drop your knife on concrete. Its life, it always happens. If I drop my PM2 and it happens to open up on the tip, itll break clean off. wheras a sebenza tanto, or a clip point buck will likely hold up a lot better from accidents.

Hey DCA, Hows it going good sir? I have to say I've owned a 110 since the early 80s and have only had to use the forever warranty once. Buck has the best customer service IMO. I absolutely love my 110, it's built like a tank and has skinned it's fair share of Deer and been on a ton of camping trips. I keep it razor sharp clean and oiled. Out of my big collection of blades my 110 wins every time. Great vid my friend, keep up the hard work and have yourself a Blessed day

Yeah something about the buck 110 just works so well lmao. I have a sebenza 31, BM mini crooked river and a paramiltary 2 but none of those knives clean a trout as easily as my buck 110. and the handle is just so comfortable. I just dont like how big and bulky it is but as a performance on the field type knife, its unmatched as a folder. and the 420 HC is such a great steel cant even complain. If Buck made a titanium bead blasted 110 like a sebenza then i would buy it in a heartbeat

Probably the other thing that will determine how long a knife lasts is how well someone knows how to sharpen there knives. Minimal material removal is key.
@greekveteran2715
@greekveteran2715 3 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. The more experience you have on sharpening, the less material you remove. Also Sharpening is 70% experience and 30% knowledge, however, you never stop to learn something new, which means that you will still get better on sharpening knives, no matter how many years you do it. For example, not many people know how to strop properly,neither that you can strop on newspaper, to finish an edge, to a scary sharp edge.

Not to take anything away from the other knives, which may be able to say the same in the future, but there are a lot of Buck 110s that have been around longer than many knife companies. All these knives will become family heirlooms... if you part with it upon your demise.

@LowenKM 3 жыл бұрын
Good point about the 'heirlooms'. But last year finally lost my ancient Buck 110 overboard, that was always just a little too big for my pocket anyway. So replaced it with a smaller and more 'disposable' all-stainless MTech pocket flipper offa Amazon, for a whopping 10 bucks (including shipping!). It's basically just a better designed and 'improved' knockoff of the Kershaw Shuffle, but also a surprisingly good cutter with snappy action, and in 440 steel that doesn't take hours to re-sharpen... and it even includes a built-in, and very sturdy bottle opener (for the occasional Corona)! But mostly it just does the job, feels good in the hand, and no Big Deal even if this one ends up going 'overboard'.

Some nice choices for lifetime knives but my choice wasn’t in your selection. I’ve carried a Microtech Socom Elite for several years, everyday. I use this knife, not just carry it for show and I’m very pleased with its build so far. I’ll keep carrying it and see how my choice holds up for my lifetime and then I’ve got a grandson that’s planning on taking it over when I’m gone.

I have most of what you showed including several Chris reeves and hinderers. I think the buskar knives for another mid to high level and some of zero tolerances knives have held up extremely well and they are also tank like construction with great materials and lots of thought put into them. I’ve had Emerson and Benchmade (their higher end stuff break, as well as spyderco) but the Fif , Pena, CkM and Chavez have also impressed (though mine are still relatively young, I don’t see any issues with them either).

Good T-shirt and color too. Looking smart Dave 😎👍 Knife for Lifetime! Interesting topic, So one knife choice has to be Bowie knife. Be it Condor Dandee Bowie, TOPS Prather War Bowie or Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie. CS Espada Folder 3in and 5 in along with Warcraft Tanto. TOPS Outpost Command, Apache Dawn or Operator 7. Condor Wayfinder or Heavy duty Kukri by Joe Flowers. All these brands produce knives to last long time if used properly since knife can used to excessive abuse which will destroy any brand's knife. Your Choice was Good throughout but Spyderco should never will be on list. Lionsteel is superb and so is ESSE. Good Vid Dave ☝️😎

I like this channel ! fascinating what people might buy and what they may pay for it. It’s a bit unfair of me because I live in the UK and am not at risk of buying 99% of these treasures but I like a laugh ! Expensive knives are great, if you never go anywhere, but if you move around you will eventually lose ,well.. anything !
