Have had a Buck 110 since 1979, still a great knife.
Gangsta.
I think mine is 1974 . I was my Grandfather's. Still going strong.
Same here...purchased mine in 1979 & after decades of use I gave it to my son...& I fully expect that one day he'll give it to his son...
I’ve owned a Buck 110 since I could carry a knife in the 70’s! Totally reliable and excellent customer service! Being a lineman: I shorted one out in a secondary up in the bucket and melted the blade off! Well… of course it was my fault completely! However, I sent it back to Buck with an explanation of what happened and they replaced it with a brand new one! That is customer service on steroids!
Just the fact that Buck is USA 🇺🇸 based is all the more reason to try out their extensive line-up!
Great vid and props to you for highlighting USA products!
I just ordered a 112 in OD green! At the price of 26.99 at Smoky Mountain Knife Works that’s just incredibly hard to beat for a quality American made product!
Awesome story. Off topic, just watched the movie Life On The Line about linemen. Much respect as I have worked with electrical in the past and the one time I didn't use my meter and trusting the shut off switch, melted a screw driver when I touched the leads on the back of a pump. Idiot! I love working man movies like that because we can all relate more (plus I despise the Hollywood pedophiles). We are fortunate to live here in Idaho and I have sent many 110's in for "spa treatments" or upgrades and can attest to their customer service. Ruger similarly has great customer service.
I think this series, the Buck 110 and 112 Slim, is hands-down the best single blade American made lockback available today. I still have and sometimes carry an old brass 110 in the belt sheath and they are great knives, but this is my absolute favorite in this size and shape category. If I wear slacks to the office, a two blade penknife is probably the go to pattern, but for jeans or shorts or anytime I’m outdoors walking or fishing, a 110 is the thing to have, and this Slim series is the most practical and economical iteration of the series they have ever made! 👍
The buck 110 slim is my favorite pocket knife. I work construction and love how strong it is. Also I don’t worry about it breaking or getting lost because it’s $30. Definitely a knife that deserves more attention then it gets.
I have a buck 110 and I love it, but I'm a more modern type of pocket knife guy. The blade shape pierces and fillets trout like no other knife I have. I was wondering if the 110 slim is worth it if you already have the og 110? Is the blade the exact same ?
@@Phaminator525same blade, but no thumbstuds. As for if it's worth it, I would say yea. The standard one is heavy, but a little stronger and objectively looks better.
@BassMaster.454 ohh yeah I got the 110 trx green g10. By far my most favorite knife I've had hands down
Amen, Brother. I've tried about a thousand different pocket-clipped knives, but keep coming back to my 110 Slim Selects. I keep trying to justify spending $200, $300, and even $400 on a pocket folder. And, despite my best efforts, my 110 Slims keep DESTROYING my options. It's hard to argue with something that just straight-up WORKS.
I wanna get one ... I’ve had about 20 kershaws I used for work ( I’m an electrician ) and they either snap at the tip over time or just loosen up time and time again . Hope the 110 slim can solve my problems
@@heightskings6693, I can't speak to any real "hard use", as I really don't beat my folders like I do my fixies. But, I will tell you that...despite the Slim Select having the "110" designation...the blade design on it is quite different than that of the classic 110 Hunter. The blade on the Slim seems more EDC/utility-centric in its design, and lacks the defined clip of the blade on the classic Hunter. (*which was known to break from time to time) Anyhow, for my uses, it's a great knife. I hope it works out for you.
You're actually right lol. I have had 3 sebenzas, countless spydercos and benchmades and honestly my favorite knife ended up being the buck 110 trx. It is just such a good all arounder.
Buck enables me to be on a budget and use quality products. You probably more than most knife guys showcase what is possible with USA made gear, thank you. Off of this topic you have also showcased Estwing made in Rockford, IL about 90-miles from me. American jobs and tough as nails.
I’m about an hour and a half from Rockford also, a past job I had used Estwing hammers for chain assembly! They were great hammers!
I have both 110 slim and 110 slim pro. These are my everyday carry knives and they are perfect! I can’t recommend them enough! Very trustworthy! Buck for life!
So better late than never … I picked up a 112 slim today on a whim . I m away from home on a job and packed in a hurry. I only had one pocket knife with me . I hit the local sports shop and found the 112 . I like it ,light , comfortable in the hand , sharp out of the box , US made and great price . You really can’t beat this knife. I had been looking at several imported knives in same price range but found the 112 Great knife !!
I have the 112 and 110 slim select now nearly 2 years and use them on daily base. They are perfect and functional. The 110 original I have already 30 years and still as new after that many use and time
I still have the Buck 110 that I bought in 1983, when I joined the FFA. it was the only authorized carry knife on campus and ONLY FAA could carry one. I have never broken it, but it is about 3/8" shorter on the blade now from the years of sharpening it. I used the tip more than the rest of the edge, and back then I was not stropping, so every time it dulled it lost metal to bring it back. I was using it to butcher some of the smaller meat animals when I got it, so I bought the one with finger groves on the handle.
I ditched all of my super steel blades for a three dot 1980-81 440C 110 with the thicker and heavier handles (last year they used 440C and squared off handles). Love it. And I was born then! Old school steels and all steel revolvers for me.
I have both 110 and 112 slim selects. The 112 slim is my favorite of the two. Everyone complains about the pocket clips but I think it’s good. Yeah it might look weird but it works and has never bothered my hand. Love the knife and very easy to sharpen in just a couple minutes
This needs to be my addendum to the "Two is one, and one is none" concept. This knife along with my 119Special-Pro Bowie will serve my needs till I am back safe at home.
Same here. Just got back from camping. Always have an Onatrio RD9 as chopper, RD6 as a slicer, a Buck 650 Nighthawk as a stabber and threw in a Benchmade 551 Griptilian, 3 dot Buck 110 and Gerber 06 folders just for the hell of it.
I had a Buck 110 folder in the 70's. It has served me very well and I still have it. I purchased the 110 slim for myself and my son for our "emergency" kits. They're perfect. Light, slim, strong, and inexpensive. My daily carry is a Benchmade 940 Osborne.
I also like the benchmade 940, it is not one I would take camping!
@@peterfreidel7721 Although it is my most expensive knife, I use it for almost everything except cleaning fish.
Glad to see someone using their gear!😊
I got rid of all my super steel blades for a 3 dot 1980-81 Buck 110 in 440C with the thicker squared off handles (last year for this configuration). Love it. And I was born then. Old school steels and all steel revolvers for me.
My original Buck 112 is EDC for me! The 110 is for the woods. 😎🤘🏔
I need the length of the 110 to cut through a submarine sandwich if the counter forgets to do it. Trivial, I know.
Got a 110 in 9th grade... and I'm almost 59 yrs old (soon!) Snapped the tip off 4 yrs after getting it (dumb kid crap), they swapped the blade, got my original knife back. Luv it! It's been so much by my side... couldn't imagine not having it.
First. Hell yeah son. If you don't own a buck 110 or 112, you have no soul
Carried an original bucklite 112 as my edc for almost 20 years. Finally had to retire it when I had sharpened it to the point that the tip was exposed even when closed
Now that’s some knife love
@@gideonstactical thank you 😊 it's still in the gunsafe.
Send it in to Buck. They'll put a brand new blade on it for $10.
I carry the original 110 everyday and I also use it as my hunting knife.
Good for field dressing deer?
@@tracealexander7120 I use it all the time
Great review. We've been running the original 110 and 112 for as long as we can remember. True testament to that 🇺🇸 made quality.
I keep rotating my knives on a daily basis and the 112 (slim and traditional ranger) are the ones i prefer the most.
Great video. 👊
I scout carry a full size 110 with S30V elk stag scales and my initials and birth year engraved in the bolsters. Then I carry a 112 with the same set up in my diabetes bag.
I really love where this channel is going with sponsorships and endorsements. Its great to see GT get support for quality brands. It just reaffirms what I already believe about Aaron's judgement that he exhibits when it comes to blades and gear. Great video on these classic USA made tools!
Ya know, back in 1976, I was in the Navy and everybody carried a Buck 110!
Mom and Dad got me one for Christmas so I too had one!
It was a right of passage to wear the 110 on your belt!
It was so handy for every little thing that came up.
I still have mine, but I've retired it to the toolbox as I have a great many more knives today.
Every once in a while, I'll pull out that old 110 and think of all the fond memories!
I've had a 110 for years it's probably one of the best knives out there.
I carry the original 112 as my edc, I have a 112 slim also. The 110 is a bit big for me for edc but I own several.
I don’t have that particular knife, but I love Buck knives. I have never, ever had any problems with any Buck knives.
I usually have a Kabar dozier and 110 slim new in box for last minute gifts. I think I have a 110 stashed in every glove compartment along with all my extra Leathermans now that I have gone Swiss X.
Dozier is my all time fav Edc followed closely by 112 slim . I have several of both and keep my kids in them as well .
@@zman8340 sometimes LEOs will give you a pass because they know Buck and the Dozier, priced for utility work, looks a little "stabby".
I've owned the 112 Slim Pro with S30V steel for quite a while now.
I haven't had any of the problems you had in the other video with it. Today I finally had to sharpen it.
Got it hair shaving sharp with my WorkSharp Precision Adjust Sharpener. This is my ONLY small knife and I love it. I bought it with the purpose of keeping in my casual Slacks at my prior job. I took that Fugly pocket clip off and left it like that for what I needed. Thank for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Have the Original Buck 110 and 112 to Heavy and a Collectable for EDC. Have 112 Slim. Love as a 5th Pocket. Need the 110 Slim. Nice 👍 Job on showing 🇺🇸 Knifes
I just bought Buck 110 & 112 slim select due to your review, 2 weeks apart! thanks for being thorough and giving the 5 reasons. Will get the original Buck 110 when my finance gets better.
This has been my favorite knife since February. I got one in blue for $20 on sale at Dicks and it’s been of the best knife purchases I’ve made in a while
I have a Buck Lite 110 that I bought with my first paycheck in 1982. Still regularly carry and use it.
I took my Slim Buck 112 on a hike to Grandfather Mountain, NC today and used it to clean up a 6 ft long walking stick. That blade was all full of sap by the time I was done with it, but once I cleaned it off, it was still sharp enough to slice newspaper. You buy a knife for the quality of the blade, and Buck's special heat treatment on these 110 and 112's are the best I've seen (and I've been a Mora, Scandinavian grind, carbon steel fan for years). This blade is the easiest to sharpen, and can be brought to a scary level of sharpness in just a couple of minutes. The fit and finish of the Slim model is every bit as rugged as the originals, snapping into place with that familiar Buck "click". No side to side movement of the blade. It's super lightweight and the thumb stud works well. I never wanted to get one of these Slim models because I just love the original brass and wood (and heft) of the originals, but I eventually broke down and bought one just to see what all the fuss was about, and I'm glad I did. The 112 Slim is my all-around EDC and I'm even thinking about getting a 110 Slim for heavier campsite chores. Can't recommend these enough.
Great video man. Totally agree about the Buck Slim Select series. Had one for two years now, no negatives…
I have the 110+ slim and agree the knife is straight up meat and potatoes. Just a simple, well designed knife that works and is easily sharpened and maintained. My edc is a Kershaw Leek, but the 110 stays in my work bag or pocket all the time. Good knife. Thanks
I picked up a Buck 500 ("Duke") in 1997 and have used it for labor and office roles. Shows some wear but it's still going strong!
100% agree on the 112 Slim. Probably the most practical and cost effective everyday carry knives that has come out in the last 20 years.
Knife 🔪 is a just a knife 🔪 I never had bad knife,, I can argue that Old Hickory butcher knife is the best or Sog Trident 🔱 or Mora Kniv..Buck knives have proven themselves as dependable pocket folder,same as SAK…We the regular average Joes know the value of Buck 110…Once you get one it’s like intimate relationships and if you lose it it feels like you lost your best friend…
Moral of the story DON’T LOSE YOUR KNIVES 🔪…PEACE
Grew up in Idaho. Carried a pocket knife since I was 8 years old. My Buck is the 301, stockman. A stockman has always been the right tool for the job.
I can believe it talking about a buck.mmmm I got one in that line.its a very good knives.👍it's a 🏆 for the use.
Bought my first buck 110 and 112 1974 I believe they’re pushing 50 years old now. I’ve been holding off on getting a slim I’m just gonna have to pull the plug and get both of them. Thanks for the great video. By the way I still have them.
I’ve had my buck 110 for 25 years and it’s still going strong!!! I got it as a present to myself when I was 16/17 and have never let it go
I have both..!!!! I love both..!!! I carry the 112 in Red everyday for work… and I carry the 110 in Red on the weekends..!!! Best knife ever..!!!! I’ve had and still own some Benchmade, spiderco, and others that take forever to sharpen…!!!! I can get the bucks scalpel sharp I literally minutes… !!!! Ya I have to do it once a week but hell it makes me a better knife sharpener and a week is pretty good to me..!!!! The 110 and 112 slim select is my favorite knife EVER..!!!! Made in USA IS FROSTING ON THE CAKE..!!!!!
I've had the classic Buck 110 since 2015 and just recently picked up the classic Buck 112. After reviewing the Buck product line I've just ordered the Buck 112 Slim for more practicality with EDC carry.
Agreed, for the money the Slim 110 or 112 is hard to beat! Easy to carry and sharpen…. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yep, I have one of each. Fantastic budget friendly blades.
My 112 slim select carries as perfectly as anything I own. It's in regular rotation with my 759M. They are both so light and don't crowd my pocket like other knives. They are affordable so I don't mind beating the crap out of them either. I may have to pick up a 110 slim select now.
I was fortunate enough to camp in Colorado and Idaho for two weeks this summer. The 112 slim and my SAK Camper were always in my pocket. Very comfortable and practical.
Very nice, but imo that clip is a no go.
The clip off of a Rat 2 fits and functions perfect. Looks much better too.
Great review! Thanks!
Just bought the 112 Slim. Thanks for your presentation.
Good ole Buck.... It's how I started. My first real knife....1981/2(?)...... Still have several, that I use, to this day. Pure Americana.....
100% agree with this one. Have the 110 slim for me and the 112 for my wife, great for her as she is left handed. Also love the buck spitfire. Its slim and easy in and out for the pocket and looks good. All very affordable and accessible. Got the 110 and 112 at Cabellas on sale and the spitfire at Menards. Love them all. Probably will get more.
Just bought the 110 slim in OD green from your link. Thanks for the recommendation!
Think you finally convinced me on this one . Going to get the 112 slim for work and the 110 slim pro for hunting .
I have 110's and 112's already in the standard version's. Going to get a couple of these plastic version's for sure. Hell for the cost I'll get some for my grand children too.
I have had the 112 (red) since they came out. Handiest knife I have. I recently got the 110 same. You can’t go wrong with either.
Yup! I have a 110 and a 112 slim… love both!
I love mine. The absolute best 110.
Just arrived yesterday in the mail..used today for first time ...sliced a slice of my thumb right away ! Super sharp and super cool knife ! Just have to ne careful with the knife law here in Germany...but Cleary I'm not a danger if I cut myself opening it with one hand 😂
Great video ! Convinced me to buy the knife!
This are the budgets knives and folding knives which become legendary. Great quality and budget piece. Must be product for everyone. Finally this kind of products are crossing frontiers and are the favourite of knives lovers, workers and young people who need a good knive for first time.
Less is more.
The 110 is a long and strong proven design. I had one all through my youth (Teen living on a rancher in rural Nevada). I ended up giving it to a life long friend who always admired it. I bought a Ka-Bar Customized 1189 as we all know it's the 110 with jimping. The design is so solid.. One of the very few folding knives that I'd take into the field.
You sold me on made in America.
I own many knives, and several Buck knives, and my red 110 slim is the one that is usually in my pocket when I'm doing chores on our 12 acre property. I never worry about scratching it up and the red handle stops me from losing it. Very versatile blade shape and easy to sharpen back to paper cutting sharp. Best $25 I've ever spent.
I have the blue 110, carried it for three years and it’s never let me down👍🏻
I love the 110. I have the original with wood and brass, i love the weight and the robust design. I have been considering a slim series, but i just cant give up the original.
I work in excavation and foundation waterproofing. Most knives don't do the job I need them to do everyday on-site.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the 112 slim out performed many much more expensive knives.
You can't beat this knife, especially for the price. A great beater!!!
I love the updates with the thumb stud and pocket clip. I have just about every version. My only complaint is where's the original clip point from the classics?
I have an original Buck 110 that I got back in '96 and it has served me very well. I also have a 112 Ranger slim select, but mines an older model that has no thumb studs, but has the pocket clip. I added a kwick stud, though and that works pretty well...
That's not a slim select it's a buck lite
@@stephenmoore3035 Said "Slim Select" on the packaging, so I beg to differ. I also have a video on my channel called "My Current Buck Knives Collection" where I show this knife as well as the Buck light, which I also own...
@@singingtoad I never heard of that version before. I'll check out the video.
@@stephenmoore3035 Now I got that knife from a Canadian Tire store, so possibly Buck renames knife models they ship out to different countries?!!
@@stephenmoore3035 also that knife is still currently listed on Canadian Tire's website, if you want to see for yourself. I swear, I'm not making this crap up...lol
Have both and love them !
I have both Gen 1, and Gen 2 Buck 110's, I like them, they have real walnut on them, and 440 steel. I have gifted 4 of the original design, late model 420 110 models, kind of heavy, but very nice. The sheaths on the newer models ride a little higher compared to the original, but they are good quality. I'm not fond of the plastic handles, though I'd have to agree that these light weight knives are more useful, because they are easier to carry.
I ditched all of those super steel blades I collectted over the years for a couple 3 dot 1980-81 Buck 110's with 440C and squared off thicker handles (last year with this configuration). And I was born then. I call it the masculine version of the 110, which it is. Too heavy most say? Go lift some weights like us real men do then. I call it my Waylon Jennings Outlaw Country knife. Plus, you can put a razor sharp edge on it at the campsite with a Work Sharp pocket sharpener in a minute. Don't know why people said the old 440C 110's were hard to sharpen. Old school steels and all steel revolvers for me.
My mother asked about gift ideas for Xmas this year so I told her to put together a custom 110 on the Buck website for me, and to pick out all the materials herself so it will mean more to me sentimentally. I'll keep it put up, and I'll carry the Micarta 110+.
I have the entire Buck line from 101 to 124 in wood handles including the Brahma. Only missing the hollow handle survival knife with the spikes I sold to a friend about 25 years ago. He still has it, going to make him an offer one day.
BTW the Chinese buy Buck knives, ha.
I have a good Buck 110 collection from this all the way to customs but your spot on…made in the USA and it has Buck’s lifetime warranty - you have a knife forever and that’s a great thing!
I have owned one for a few years now. Really like these knives except for the double sided thumb stud. It is a weak design held together by tension and carried over from the Buck Bantam. It will eventually come loose with hard use (mine did). Easy to take apart and I replaced with a one sided stud held in place with a proper screw.
Yep. I've had several. Still have most of them. I've grown towards the USA made Spydercos, but any time I lose or break one or just because I want to, I carry my Bucks. Got my 1st one when I was 12 or 13
I have to say that it does feels very cheap in hand especially when closing……but won’t doubt it’s durability.
Today I received mine and I'm very satisfied with. Buck succesfuĺy eliminated the extra weight of the original model, added a pocket clip eliminated the leather sheat's weight as well!
Great job Buck, congrats!👍
Couldn't agree more! Have been using these since the 1970's in various forms. Good value great company ...
Not to sound like a cliche, but I rediscovered the Buck 110. After watching your video, I picked up a Buck 110 slim. I have to admit it is pretty amazing for $35-$40 USA made knife! The knife feels great In hand and carries well in pocket. I’ve been carrying it daily for past few weeks. It’s a win especially for the price. Great videos! Keep em coming!
Another good video. I purchased the 112 slim a short while back on impulse. I wasn't looking for a new knife just was in a local sporting goods store and there it was for under $30 so I picked it up. I'm familiar with Buck knives and have several along with many other pocket knives and multitools but I have to say this 112 has become one of my favorites if not my favorite for EDC. It just works and the ease of carry can't be beat. Great , durable, made in America 🇺🇸 pocket knife. I just purchased the 110 slim but still waiting on it to arrive. I wanted both. Thanks for an honest video about a great knife that fits everyones budget.
Great Review ! Just got the 112 CF
This knife is great for outdoor activities. Which I use heavily with my machete. But as an everyday carry I always go for my Mercator K55K stainless. Light and wicked sharp.
K55K is a beast in its own way. I like it a lot too, great choice !
I have the 112 slim in orange. Can't say enough good things about it. Another excellent feature: the clip is unobtrusive, sturdy, and doesn't gouge your hand. For me, the Buck knives are easy to service.
I use my 112 slim for edc all the time. Very versatile. Plus you can’t beat a USA made knife for $25.
i gravitated from the benchmades back to the bucks. i carry the classic 110 and the slim select almost daily
I ordered one of the 110 slim yesterday after your video one hyperlink Amazon tan
just got mine today for 31 dollars..man I love it..thanks
Buck Gang, I have 3 different models of 110 that I use as daily carries with their respective slipjoint secondaries, and an automatic 110 that’s a display item. I have a 110 Classic in S30V, the 110 JUNE Buck of the Month (S30V, drop point, g10, nickel silver), and the 110 Ultimate Hunter in 20CV, redwood, polished nickel silver… I alternate every couple days and I love them. The buck 110 is by far my absolute favorite knife.
This video convinced me to gift these knives this Christmas.
I've just ordered a 112 , and I'm looking forward to getting it 😊
Awesome!! I think you will love it
Use the 112 Slim as part of my work EDC for awhile and really appreciate it. Also own the 110 Slim but gravitate more towards the 112 for every day use at work 😉 thanks for sharing
I'm just ordering one now. Perfect.
Bought a 110 finger groves saw for a great price and VERY impressed. Just feels right at home in hand no matter the grip and wierdly light despite the heft. It gives ANY other knife I have used or in my collection a run and could easily be a one and done. I like it a little too much and it seems a little too lethal to be an EDC work knife so looked around. Without groves and pins figured the LT or Slim have the best defined grip patterns out of all the options on Bucks website. Preferencing the pronounced choil of the 112 in orange as easily a safe bet for an ideal work, and play, knife.
Perfection of Purpose
I was thinking about getting one of these. Perhaps I will.
Own them both, they get the majority of my edc....I agree with your reasons also
i live in Poland , Central Europe and I'm happy owner of two 110s. I love it. Greetings.
I’m just curious about your thoughts on the Buck Slim Series of knives after almost one year? Has your opinion of the Slim 110 or 112 changed? Looking forward to the updated comments. Go bless and enjoy everyday. - Tennessee Smoky
I’ve actually had a few versions of these since they first came out about four years ago. Still love them to this day and still carry them regularly when I go hiking and gift them to people all the time. Still highly recommended!
I remember when Buck had the 110 Ecolite.
Own both and currently edc a 110 slim select paired with a pre 1986 buck 303 cadet bought from a flea market. Love buck qaulity and USA made gear.
The regular Buck 110 is a great hunting and one of my favorite folders for hunting. I edc a Rat1 though because it is a tougher ranch knife. My dad exclusively uses for hunting and camping a 110, gifted to him by my grandpa in 1978. My brothers and I all want that knife. That 440c blade holds an edge a lot longer than our 420hc Buck 110's.
I ditched all of my super steel blades for a couple 3 dot 1980-81 Buck 110's with 440C and squared off thicker handles (last year with this configuration). And I was born then. I call it the masculine version of the 110, which it is. Too heavy most say? Go lift some weights like us real men do then. I call it my Waylon Jennings Outlaw Country knife. Old school steels and all steel revolvers for me.
