it was a $27 Walmart find. Who’d pass on that?

Well the reflection makes the brass look ugly.

My wife gave one to me for my birthday the 1st year we started dating.....over 44 years ago.....I knew then she was a keeper....both of them.....wife and knife.

I did the same thing about 20 years ago . I saw a bass pro ad in a flyer advertising them for $19.99 . I already had one but for that price I went there and bought 3 more and gave 2 of them away as a gift .

Nice

Total classic! Nice knife.

Love my 110. It is a real workhorse of a knife. Had mine for over 47 years now and it just keeps on ticking.

Funny, I was looking at these last night for a present for my soon to be 15 year old (his bday is next week).

I figured one day he’d appreciate it, it’s such an iconic knife. I’m finding them for about 65$ so you did good

It is a good all around knife from gutting a deer to opening an Amazon box. I think I paid $30. I have been carrying mine for a couple years. I have gifted a few.

Thread made me dig mine out. Circa 1992 parting gift from a power plant's operation team. Hardly ever used it, but looks like the brass needs cleaning.

But here is my 1976 112, we'll used and lost it for 9 months in starboard side lower level engine room on SSBN633. I was real happy to find it again.

I need to get a 110 or 112 soon.

Buck 110 is a true American classic.👍
I bought mine about 50 years ago. It was my very first "real man's folder knife," compared to those smaller "pocket knives" I had been carrying before that.

I really liked my Folding Hunter and always carried it when camping and hiking. But it felt a bit too big and heavy for everyday carry. So, I switched to slimmer and lighter Gerber FS-II, which was easier to carry. I left my Buck Folding Hunter at my parents' house, but my mother sold it along with other knives at my father's estate sale....😞

My new Buck 110, the Slim Select model, is much lighter and more suitable for pocket carry; but it does not have the nice classic look. I still have my favorite Gerber FS-II's - the straight back blade and the drop point blade.

This thread makes me want to buy another Buck 110, the original model with brass bolster and ebony handle. I don't really need it, but I miss my old classic 110.

$27 for a USA 110 is a score!

ii still use a 110 on deer lol.

my main carry is a 112 for daily stuff. I alternated between the brass/wood 112 and the thinner composite slim pro or whatever they call it 112.

The slim model looks really nice! Now you’ve got me thinking I should I look at those. Probably a tad more practical if less iconic. I just want him to carry it every now and again as he gets older and appreciates it. He clips his Spyderco on from time to time. I never say anything but I’m always smiling inside

First packet knife I ever had. 40 years ago. Not sure what ever happened to it. Classic knife. $27 is a great price, these days.

I served on the Von Steuben, SSBN 632. 81-84

 

[RearMainSeal]

I’m gonna go see if they have any at my Walmart for that price. I need oil anyway.

Ha Ha!

Bet you had a lot of people ask you too that they thought you were in the US Navy. The Pulaski and Steuben names confused a lot of folks. I was 76-80 on the Gold Crew. A-Ganger..

Post if you find em! My Scheels has them for 65$ and in stock. Problem is I can’t get through that place without buying something else that I don’t need 🤦🏻‍♂️
