I love my Buck knives from back in the day.
I bought this M9 in 1993 and carried it on US Army active duty for many years. The + dates it to 1991.View attachment 410738View attachment 410739
The Auto-110s are great looking. Let me know what you think... if you get one.
I love collecting guns... but collecting Blades is a whole other Addiction. And far more pleasing!

band aids...i go through a lot of band aids. like my ammo i buy 'em in bulk....you don't have to keep feeding knives expensive ammo.
The 112 Ranger is a great size knife. I prefer the older cases too. Good luck at the Cobbler's.
Ok great. That’s what I used. I guess I need to practice a bit. I’m getting the knife sharp but not quite as sharp as I’d like. Like I said in a previous post, maybe it’s time to invest in a strop.Tombo on my Lansky I used a marker on the edge of my 112 and matched it at 25 degrees worked great.
I just bought a few of these for Christmas presents for a couple of my older grandsons...13 and 15 years old. I haven't seen them yet but I've heard they're very nice.I picked this up locally for $29.95 + tax. Buck 112 slim (2.6 oz). Should be a good cheap EDC to abuse at work. Didn't know how to resize the pic, LOL.

I'd be so afraid of them falling out...There are also some sweet little open-top sheaths out there...

Can you get a pocket clip installed on a buck 110? I like mine, but unless I'm hunting I hate carrying it on my belt, but it doesn't ride to secure in my rear pocket and is intrusive riding in my front pocket. I think a wide, sturdy pocket clip would fix that.
Year ago Case knives came out with a slim line trapper with a pocket clip and thumb-stud, its perfect, though not as beefy as a 110 of course.
agree, nice work on those.There are also some sweet little open-top sheaths out there...
I don't have one, but they look pretty tight... like gunleather.I'd be so afraid of them falling out...
Yeah, I've seen youtube vids with clip mods on BUCKs. I like the Helicoil idea. Used them a lot on older Harleys...I have a friend here at work that is a machinist who has a Buck 112 with brass bolsters on it. He drilled and tapped holes that would accept tiny helicoils (M3, I think) and installed those. It works great for him
It's one of those cases where I'd need to try it before I buy it.I don't have one, but they look pretty tight... like gunleather.
Yeah. Internet only gets you so far.It's one of those cases where I'd need to try it before I buy it.
He mentioned that the brass they use is pretty soft. He didn't trust just a tap and a machine screw. He went with a metric screw because that's what we have here. A 4-40 has a coarser thread and may have held better (not stripped out as easily when screwing it in) but the way he did it worked out great. He put a little blue loctite on the screws and he was good to go.Yeah, I've seen youtube vids with clip mods on BUCKs. I like the Helicoil idea. Used them a lot on older Harleys...
Love a photo if you ever get a chance and he's willing... for Posterity here on 'KNIVES'.He mentioned that the brass they use is pretty soft. He didn't trust just a tap and a machine screw.

if you ever get out to Springfield, Missouri, check out the Bass Pro there, that would be the place to check out or maybe the big one in Hamburg, PA. I went to the one in Springfield last year and over two days, I didn't see everything. It's huge. They do have an extensive knife inventory there.Yeah. Internet only gets you so far.
I'd love to know if there is a brick & mortar store somewhere around here; well-stocked with quality knives and accoutrements. Anyone know of one?
Gun shows and Bass Pro/Cabela's have a few more than regular sporting goods stores...
I'll be in Springfield, MO in mid-December. Picking up a puppy. (I'm a ride-along) I'll take your advice.

1988 Buck 110 Work-Man
Sorry, no pics. However picked up a 110 Work-Man today from 1988 and it does not look like brass bolsters. Did they make them in NS also? Thanks!www.bladeforums.com
i may be wrong...wasn't he talking about the anniversary "work man", from 1995 was it, that had nickle bolsters?I'd seen that post and was puzzled because he says that they had nickle bolsters
