I bought two of the Buck 110 knives at the Special Forces Bookstore on Ft Bragg in December of 1972. I kept one and gave the other to my Dad. Dad has been gone for years and my Mom found his Buck and gave it to me a while ago. I did some research as I thought it would be nice to restore it. Well for $10 Buck Knife will re-blade and give it there Spa treatment. I will forgo the polishing as Dad "engraved" name and such everywhere.....They have a "Lifetime Guarantee", I boxed up the knife and it's headed to Oregon! We will see the results in 8 to 10 weeks!

Got one just like it in 1991. Great knife, i'm going to pass it on to my great grandson.

Got one when I was 19 years old. Great knife. Mine needs a new blade. It almost looks like a filet knife after over 40 years of sharpening. For ten bucks I might as well send mine off. Might get another 40 years out of it! Lol.

What a great knife to have.
Buck is a great company and its nice to see them stand behind their product and their guarantee.

Right you are! I am sending in some Leupold binos for repair and mixed up the destinations!

I got one when I was 12, just like the one my dad used- nice to hear their customer service is that good! Even better, I’ve never needed it (yet) after a lot of use!

Ok, I thought I was going to learn something today or you sent a knife to the wrong place. I think you will be pretty happy with the restore results. I have been in the factory a couple of times, their employees seem to care about what they do.

It's nice to hear that Buck knives still has the lifetime warranty.
I broke the tip of my knife off back in the early 80's. Probable doing something it wasn't designed for.
I sent it in and they replaced the blade no questions asked.

I sent one in for repair 10 years ago and they "lost" it.
While the Buck 110's are an OK knife I am more partial to the #112.

I have used a 112 for lots of years. Always had a hankering for a 112. Last year Bought a 112 out the side auto.......It's a fantastic knife.

There aren’t many knives made the the USA. Glad to see Buck still making a great product here.

I got my 112 when I was in the 8th. grade. School was doing a fundraiser for something. If you sold so many magazine subscriptions, you got to pick a prize from a list of things. I chose the Buck knife. Still have it in its leather sheath. Not used much. I think I will use brighten it up some with Flitz.

Buck is a great company. My dad passed away and I was digging though some of his “junk drawers” and found a small Buck 2 blade knife that he used to carry. The tip off of one of the blades had snapped off, I’m sure he was prying on something when it snapped. I knew that Buck had a lifetime warranty, so I decided to send it in and see if they would put in a new blade under warranty. If they didn’t do it under warranty, I was just fine with paying the cost of the re-blade.

About 3 weeks later, I received a package from Buck and was excited to open the box. Unfortunately, the model of knife my dad had was no longer made and they didn’t have a replacement blade, HOWEVER the did send me a brand new current production knife that was similar to my dad’s, free of charge.

The way I see it, I still have the memories of my dad as I still have his old knife, but I also have a similar knife that I can carry whenever I want.

I also had a 112 that needed a new blade. I sent it in, paid the cost for the new blade, and it came back looking like a brand new knife. Turn around time was pretty good. I have since lost the knife🙁. Made sure to replaced it right away.

mcneeley5, I hope you are satisfied with your results. Keep us posted!

Al, can you imagine seeing a knife on the fundraiser prize sheet these days? How many heads would EXPLODE?

 

[bigal444]

Yes Sir. Even funnier was that the knife was shipped to the school and handed to me by the teacher.
Crazy to even think of that today. I think my dad was jealous.

My 110 looked like it had been drug behind a truck, sent it in and it came back looking new. Great company!

Please post updated pics when you get your dads' knife back. Its interesting how you really don't hear of Buck Knives much, even though they are super quality. Seems like theres a hundred new knife makers, and everyone wants the knives with replaceable razor type blades. I'm still an old school guy. Love fixed blades.

Broke tip on mine ( 1987) wife bought for me our first yr together. My oldest son gifted me a New One. Sent mine in they replaced blade. Fantastic service. Looked brand new when it came back. I passed it on to my Oldest

From 76 to 96 I carried a Buck in a sheath on my belt along with a mini mag most everyday on ships. We all did. Didn't even realize the different models we all got them at the ships store or exchange on base. They went through hell every day scraping flanges, cutting gasket and packing material, etc. Some would work the rivets loose so they could open them with a snap of the wrist. Mine wore that way eventually, it was a badge of honor and right of passage.

Didn't even realize that there are so many Buck models. Looks like all of ours were the 112. Still have it in the sheath in the reloading room under the bench. The brass plates at both ends aren't as shiny as the ones on the Buck website LOL.

Last Saturday was shooting at a heated indoor 5 stand and the puller who just graduated HS last year asked if anyone had a knife as he was setting up. All of us waiting to shoot pulled one out of our pocket and his eyes got big and he made a comment. Think the youngest one of us is ~55 or so.

There aren’t many knives made the the USA. Glad to see Buck still making a great product here.

My everyday carry is a Case (Bradford, Pa.). At the cabin grouse hunting a few years ago

Was hoping for carbon steel but they sent stainless instead. Turns out that is OK.

Edit: Just went back to the Buck website, not that I need another knife but....

Yes it is the 112 and now I know why:
It all began with the 110 Folding Hunter. The 110 could be found on a lot of sailor's belts in the Navy. One day, a couple of sailors got into a fight and the 110 Folding Hunter was used. As a result, the captain issued a decree that knives carried could not have a blade length of a certain size. The 110 ended up being too long, so Buck knives took the initiative and created the ranger, a smaller version of the 110.
