Mar 26, 2001. #1. Can anyone tell me the Buck manufactures recommend sharpening angle for the Buck 110 blade. Mar 25, 2001. #2. Buck says: The new "edge 2000" is 30°. The "old edge" before was "close to 50°". (which was a reason for "good edgeholding") Happy sharpening.
I've recently become very re-interested in Buck, having a Vantage force Avid (aluminum scales), a Vantage Select (small), a Buck/TOPS CSAR-T 095 folder (my favorite knife) and now the 110 50th. I have also, somewhere, a 110 I bought at Thule AFB in 1989. Buck is an amazing knife company, with incredible products and support.
gylman. This is my first post at Bladeforums. Hello everyone. I have a small collection of folding knives, and recently got a Buck 110 with custom handles. The knife is fine, but I have found the unlocking mechanism to so stiff as to be almost unusable with my hand alone. I usually have to press the rocker down on the edge of a table to close it.
Dec 28, 2015. #5. St33L said: I'm trying to figure out the date for an old Buck 110A knife. Going off this chart, I still can't find info on the knife. On the first line, it says: "BUCK". Below that the next line says: "110A". The third and final line says: "U.S.A."
The older handles were thicker, more squared off and heavier, not as pocket friendly, some like the squarer shape, others prefer the rounder edges of newer Bucks. Some older 110s are reportedly easier to open by gravity. Then there are special runs, different steels, all Ti, aluminum frames, etc.
The Buck 110 has been used in every scenario imaginable, so of course it can be used in the woods. It's just a matter of using the right tool for the right job. Obviously, you can't expect to chop down a tree with a folding knife and it's not what you'd want to use to baton through a chunk of wood either, but a Buck 110 or any folding knife can ...
The original-design 110s in brass are ~ 7.2 oz, according to Buck's own current specs, and this 'Lite' version in nylon is a full 4 ounces lighter, at 3.2 oz. This means, in-pocket, it feels more like an Opinel or a delrin-handled Case Sod Buster (larger '38 pattern), rather than like a 'brick', per se.
The question you first must ask is do you want scale pins, or no scale pins. If you want scale pins it would be better to completely disassemble. If no scale pins are desired you can simply use a Dremel with a diamond ball and grind off the pin heads. Also grind off the Rocker pin head. I use a 1/8" punch and gently drive the rocker pin out.
Jun 29, 1999. Messages. 9,522. Jan 7, 2018. #2. Any Buck 110 from any year is good. That said, the old (er) ones in 440C were a b*tch to sharpen but they held an edge once you got it. I prefer the current 420HC to the old 440C; my BassPro 110 in CPM-154 is even better. Buck's S30V blades (Cabela's or Custom Shop) are simply superb when it comes ...
The standard steel in Buck's 110 is 420HC, often dissed on these forums but a tough, highly corrosion resistant steel that takes a fine edge and is relatively easy to resharpen. You can also get other steels from Buck's Custom Shop (S30V), and Buck makes a model in S30V for Cabela's and in CPM 154 for BassPro.
