Love my BUCK 110. Carried it everywhere I went when I was in the US Army. And put it through more use and abuse than you could possibly imagine. And it still keeps going. In my humble opinion, the BUCK 110 and 119 are two of the best knives ever made.

Yeah my dad was a career soldier in the US Army I remember that you could buy the 110 or 112 at the p.x. (aafes) for dirt cheap think the 110 was 35 bucks and you saw a lot of soldiers carrying that blade the 110 was a tactical knife long before the term became popular.

About twenty years ago, an older guy gave me a Buck 112 that he’d had since the 70’s, in exchange for a penny. Old wives tale that when gift a knife, you have to receive something ( anything) from the other party. It’s still in perfect shape and still have original sheath which is made of leather, almost double the thinness of new ones.

In 1979 I purchased a Buck 110 the week I joined the Armed Forces in Canada. It sat on my hip through all my basic training, exercises, right through all my deployments in Germany, Yugoslavia, the middle east, and several other places on this planet for the next 20 years. I still have it today, and it is as good as the day I bought it. It cut ropes, tarps, cloth, wood, and it even cut my field rations open countless times. Best knife I have ever owned. I still wear it today.

My first knife was a Buck 110. I carried and used it my four years as a fireman in the Air Force. Later as a civilian firefighter it was run over by a ladder truck and ruined it. Years later I acquired a used 110 that was sharpened down to half the blade’s width. I sent it in to Buck back in February to reblade it for $10.00. I just got it back today and it looks like new.

I remember I couldn't wait to buy one of these when I was 16 back in 1980. Almost everybody I knew had one of these on their belt in the leather sheath they came with. I loved it until it got dull and came time to sharpen the damn thing. Everybody used Arkansas stones back then and you could grind on it for hours and just wear your stones out. This was the knife that made me think Stainless Steel was the best thing since sliced bread and it's also the knife that made me hate Stainless Steel. I heard that they had to soften their steel because it was difficult to sharpen. I'm not saying you couldn't get it sharp, but boy did you have to work at it to get it sharpened.

I worked for "Northwest Mosquito Abatement District" in Wheeling, IL. One thing you can do to cut down mosquito activity on your own property is to do a search for "holes." The female mosquito is the only one that bites you, because she uses the protein in your blood to form her eggs. Her eggs are laid on or near water. When the eggs hatch and the larvae appear, they look like "Sea Monkeys" swimming in the water.

As a S African I bought one on a special offer at the SCI show in Reno 2013 and was really chuffed. We thereafter went to NY for a couple of days and I wanted to visit the 9/11 memorial. Having no gun safe in the room in a really crappy hotel I kept the knife in my backpack. When I declared I had a knife in my pack I was nearly arrested and the knife was confiscated. My wife and I finished the visit, but the incident had destroyed the reverence of the visit which was really a great pity. I would not leave without the Buck knife, waited about an hour before they returned my knife, someone must have badly wanted it. It resides in my safe now, constantly admired and looked after (as all my other Buck knives). To date I have never started any war but will never visit NY again.
