Mostly bikers, hunters, and truckers carried the 110 in the 1970s. After the TV series 'The Dukes of Hazzard' came out in 1979, everyone had a Buck 110 on their hip, even in school. I opted for a Schrade LB7. Used to put finger grooves on 110s or reprofile the blade tang for quick one-handed flicking. One company made a blade attachment called the Flicket that was very popular for Buck 110s and similar knives.

It hurts watching you disassembling the knife, but OMG the result is amazing! 😍

That was an amazing transformation of a generic Buck 110 (which is a nice knife, indeed) to a stunning work of art. I truly envy your skills.

Great video. I think almost 7 out of 10 of the teens i grew up with had the buck 110 folding hunter. Ive had mine since i was around 12-13 years old (now im 57) and still have it in my small knife collection. Ive worked on a few of them but only to repair a broken handle or loose pins.
After watching this video im giving serious consideration to customizing my buck 110
Thank you for all this great instructions you sir are a master.

Hi Kyle - fascinating video to see you renovate and do some custom upgrades to this classic Buck 110! Thanks for that tip for adding a 'quick release' alternate vice - great idea! Coming from someone who is nowhere near the craftsman you are - that was SO COOL to see your process as you transformed this (classic but) "regular and plain" knife into a thing of absolute beauty! It was inspiring to see your confidence and boldness to just "go for it". I know that comes from experience, but it was just neat for me to see - hard to explain why. Final result - breathtaking - shaking my head side-to-side - WOW! So fun to watch this video, thank you!

You did a lovely job on the Buck knife. The owner will be more proud than before to have such a great looking knife.

I remember when the buck knife 1st came out. I was told I was too young have one When I was old enough I received one for my birthday . I have had many they have came and gone. I now have a 50 year anniversary. But after your video I'm going to buy another and try my hand at putting on new scales . Glad I found your YouTube channel knife looks great look forward to more videos. Take care and thank you.

Lockback knives like this have been around for quite a while. Note the Cattaraugus 'King of the Woods' (1906). I'm fortunate to have had one passed down to me. I do not own a Buck 110 but wish I did. My go-to large knife for butchering and hunting is a Case double bladed Trapper. Thanks for the video.

Never had the pleasure of making blades or whole knives, but it sure looks fun and invigorating. Caught some of your other vids. Great vids! Love it! Will share with the guy that taught me and a great friend he is.

I'm a big fan of the Buck 110 and 112 as I grew up on those. Beautiful piece of work man. Loved it.

[johnabalos]

Love this video. Much respect for the old classic. People who can't deal with a runny nose are a bunch of warm weather Nancies.

[danielohara]

This video is exactly what i was looking for! You explained everything very clear and did a great job. Thanks.

[classicbladereview]

The 110 is a classic for sure. I've got a 110, 503 & 373 - hope to order a customized 112 at some point (no pun intended). Thanks for the video on a great knife!

I’d prefer like a exotic wood as a handle, but the choice you made is pretty good. I do like how people do try and work on old knives even if it’s just to give them a new look.
