Buck 110 Knife Review. New Pro & Select with clips compared to the original
Vložit

- One of the most iconic pocket or belt knives has to be the Buck 110. In this review I compare the new for 2018 Pro and Select Lightweight Hunter Folding blades. Translated, these two new slim knives are less that half the weight of the original, and they have swappable pocket clips. This video compares all three to the original and also the Benchmade Crooked River and CR Mini. You'll also see the Spyderco Endura 4, the Byrd Cara Cara 2, and the Benchmade Bugout. I give my thoughts about QC, some blade play, and baton them.

I’m Russian but I have too say I’ve always purchased American made things because they are made so well
Russians make some pretty good quality shit too. I just bought a flashlight made in russia and I love it. Good quality material and I can light shit on fire. Battery life is pretty good also.
Шо то хуйня, шо то
Russian make some super good, low priced steel cased ammunition.. and us real americans... Will always love you guys for it... Also we are exceedingly in your debt for mikhail kalashnikov... And we rank this man among equals to john browning , eugene stoner, samuel colt, and john garand.... And dont worry , depite our governments, we aint got no hate toward everyday russians.
Buck means "tank" as in T-34 in Russian, no?
Somethings we make are quality. Like trucks. Cars unfortunately. Not been qaulity since 1980
The Original 110’s weigh is totally useful, it substantially increases the injury potential when throwing it at your foes!
Those fancy “modernized” models totally lack this feature!
Nice to know!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you drop the knife it will land on the butt of the grip, not tip down into you foot.
@@CandidZulubut if it hits the blade, the weight will break the tip. But the weight is really useful for skinning, it makes the blade almost weightless giving you more control
I bought a Buck 110 LT at my local Walmart for $19. Solid build, crazy sharp, very lightweight, and made in the USA. Now that's a lot of value for the money
Yep!
Mine doesn't even wobble. Yet, lol.
I prefer other things now, but if you don't have the money for a Spyderco or Benchmade, you could do a lot worse than a Buck 110
@@RonSpilker I have a 110 and PM2, I would say the 110 is a harder use folder. The PM2 has a wicked shaped blade, but that point will snap off easier than the buck.
Spon Rilker Well said ❤️🤠🔪🎵
It's all about the brass, baby.
I love the Beatsie boys.
Dat brass
Yup. The classic finger groove is the best. Use it for everything. 110 Ecolite in the pocket for church.
@@halfmoon5022 Church is the only place where I feel compelled to not carry my 110 on the hip as it's more conspicuous. I'll go with a pocket knife instead. Not that it's a problem though because my church has intimidating looking armed guards. I love my church. 👍🏻
Out of my entire collection ( and I do have many ), my EDC , almost everyday since the 80’s , has been the trusty 110 .
Owned quite a few over the past 40 or so odd years .
Either I lost one - sold one - traded one - broke one - had one Confiscated, and yet I always wind up with another .
( I just wish I had my original and it makes me wonder if it is still out there somewhere).
And at home , when I need a package opened or something, I use the Buck 55 ( it’s little brother ).
Have used that over and over for a year or 2 and it’s Still Factory Sharp .
Very sharp at that .
Such a great video ❤️🤠🔪
can anyone tell me how this channel is not the bigest knife channel on YT?
it is the best, information and fun all together!
We love you here in Brazil!
I've got an og 110 from the early 80's still going strong.
Bobby Hempel I’ve been using the 110 since the mid 80’s ( God I still wish I had my original).
So over the last 40 years , I must of owned 5 or 6 .
( sold - Broke - lost - traded - Confiscated ......),
But I always go back to it .
My sidekick.
I have so many knives too and yet I always refer to the 110 as my go-to knife .
Just discovered your channel. I really enjoy the humor and satire. Also, the beer reviews are great. Keep doin' what your doin'.
Thanks for checking it out man. Hope you stick around!
Thank you for coming through with the batoning section. You are my rock, Mr. Hanlen.
Showing up every week man, you are my baton!
Love the Baton tease, all the way at the end, that’ll keep ‘em watching! Great Vid Bro. Cheers!
Ordered the classic 110 as a 51st birthday gift to myself. Thanks for the great video, love the deadpan humor!
Ordered my pro 110 with micarta , S30V steel , right from the factory , it came in perfect shape , centred , zero blade play, tight rivets , a great knife I will be carrying for years to come.
My dad gave me his 110 he bought in the 70s when he went on a fishing trip to Canada. Love the look of it and I only ever take it out to look at it and flip it around a bit. I bet your life is more complete knowing that fun fact about me...
It confirms I was right about at least one person owning one, so I call it a win!
_"A stronger suckback"_
That needs to be on an Early Cuyler hat right thar, son.
Not even 4k could make this video better. It is perfection! 👍
Awesome review my brother! Also, glad I'm right on time with it!! Since it was 2 yrs ago I can steal the vast majority of your video!!
Love ya!!
Grandma was buried with her buck...gotta lovem
Your grandma had a buck knife... and i thought i had the coolest grandma ever!
My great grandmother was literally buried with a can of Scotch Snuff. Never saw her spit. Especially after she was buried.
@@dobypilgrim6160 i would hope not
I slipped my grandfather his small buck and his zippo into his pocket at the viewing too. I imagine 1000 years from now someone opening up the grave to study us and trying to figure these things out.
John Bowers makes me now wonder what will my loved ones burry me with ???
( should I put in my will that I want my Rambo First Blood knife as that’s the one that got me into collecting )???
Hmmmmm ..... Deep Thoughts ...
buck 110 original the only model/type of folder that looks good in a leather pouch, in my opinion.
enjoyable and entertaining review as always, waiting for the next one
Thanks man!
Awesome vid bro !
And hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Thumb meat was my nickname in high school.
Where can i get the extra asbestos version?
Lol...what is tge asbestos he is referencing? I live in cave
I have a Buck long blade knife which I purchased about 40 years ago, and had to get it since the shorter blade knife I had purchased before that ended up being given to my grandfather since he liked it. I have a model 110 which I purchased over 35 years ago from the same military base and never could get it sharpened correctly, and neither could anyone else I knew who claimed to know how to sharpen knives. I purchased a Japanese knife while at the last base before retiring and was looking like the Buck 110, but was easy to sharpen and held it's edge.
Great info, thanks a lot!
You should give us a pry test to see how well the handles hold up... Maybe a lock test too. Good video, thanks!
Holy Buck what a review!
Cheers!
Thanks man!
The Classic 110 is nice for dressing deer. I find the weight aids in this.
Great honest review that is enjoyable to watch , thanks
One of my favorite knives is the 110! thanks for sharing I may have to get a newer 110.
“You have some side to side wobble!”
Sorry, got ahead of myself. Great video! -again.
But that micarta handle looks cool
Yep, I like the handle too!
It is a beautiful knife, but when using it I was underwhelmed by the opening “grit” and wobble/flex. Bummer. The select has that stuff in line, but without the high quality materials.
The Pro seems to be plagued with fitment issues.
Thanks for this review. I want to love my 110 OG, but it just sits in a drawer with a bunch of heavy, clip-less knives.
Sounds like what mine will become.
All true for me too. I have had 2 pro 110s and they could be great but they didn’t open well and had wiggle/fex. Got a slim 112 and it has none of these issues. 110 slim select is on its way now! If I could get a select with the original blade shape that would take the cake, or jus a correct slim pro....I have given up on that😿
Very good informative, entertaining video Bro. Good work.
I have to say it again.
I really enjoy your videos!!!
"AWESOME".
Thank you!
Great review. Going to get the abacus and stone writing tablet out of my Amazon cart and add the Buck 112 Slim. Great insight on the pro wobble. The 440HC May wear out in 37 years vs 43 of the pro, but I ma ok with that because My beloved Buck 110 that I got for Christmas last year will always hold a special place for me, in may dresser drawer because it so freak awesome... all 37 lbs of brass, steel and wood. No, I do love it. The case it came with though is the tight against your waist kind not the one with the loop. Peace out.
Hopefully you don't have the love handles!
I was entertained by the video and the comments section! Unfortunately my buck 110 select became a gravity knife and a non-locker after using it to try and chop some grassy-brushy bullshit in my back yard, don’t think I’ve ever had a knife fail on me like that before.
Send it in for warranty.
If you still have it. Just realized this is a year old comment.
I forgot all about your channel. It's like starting a new year with a new discovery leaving me slightly more enriched than last year. Only slightly.
Hahah dude that sheath has me laughing! I love youre reviews! Thank you!
Pb? Do I detect a periodic table joke? Well done!
It was!
Truly a patrician joke.
Advanced Knife Bro Try quantum mechanics or genetics next time. Perhaps AI?
I don't know if I am more dense than asbestos, but I looked up "Buck 110 PB" hah. Good one.
plumbum
One reason why I could think of you may want a carry a knife similar to the Buck 110 is that is/was marketed and used as a hunting knife. Which means prepping game out in the field etc. Which in turn means do you want a slightly gooey, game juiced knife in your pocket? 🤔
Oh another thought, brass is antimicrobial. Stainless, aluminum are not.😷
Good points!
When I received my buck Slimline Pro two weeks ago, it had quite a bit of blade play. I took a punch and a small hammer and tapped the pivit rivet and it tightened up. I wish Buck would put Torx screws on it and partial liners to stiffen it up a bit.
Thanks for the tips!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Thanks for the sweet ass vids Bro!
Your Hoyt Buck impression is spot on. :-)
It took me nearly half of one whole minute to perfect it!
Just bought the 112 in micarta and s30v and already have a couple pimped 110’s With micarta s35vn steel and one in 5160 and I have to say I kinda like the deep carry clip.
It's an old video but I have to comment and tell you how much I love your snarky color commentary
Out of all my videos, this one seems to chafe people the most. I knew it going in though, which is why I started out playing the video game.
Something tells me this channel is gonna become Regular Knife Reviews, if you catch my drift. Good stuff
Ok, here it goes 🤞🏼, I’ve made a few comments on your vids that I felt did well. And I’ve been watching you for awhile. So, um....I’d like to ask you to be my friend. Look, I get it I’m no great catch. But goddammit , I’m loyal, I like knives and love to cuddle. All I’m saying is, give it some thought. But either way this goes. I don’t want to make things weird. So. There it is. The knife is in your court now.
Hey friend whats up!
Advanced Knife Bro thanks akb! You won’t regret it! Wait til I tell my pee paw!
So many lonely people. I'll be your friend too. But warning. I'm a terrible friend. I'll bum a cigarette from you because I "quit". I will forget your birthday, and tell you I have to be out of town the weekend you're moving. I'll borrow your tools and forget to bring them back. I'll "share" your French fries. When you need money, I'll be just a little short that week.
In short, I'll be every bit as much a friend to you as AKB.
Doby Pilgrim I barely know you. But I’m open to being your friend. Let’s take it slow. I’ve been hurt before
And one more thing. You have to be ready to go to Australia. There’s a guy there who is a lil too close to akb. Wink
Would You consider doing a video about the buck 110 auto elite
does the brass on all buck knife 110's come super scratched? Mine did and it seems weird and a little extreme.
I like the feel of fabric bandaids too!
My favorite bandaids!
I carry a few bandaids in my wallet and when someone needs one and I pull one out they look at me in awe like I’m
MacGuyver.
Ya got me with “..... because it remind me of fabric bandaids.” 😆
I might get one of the nylon handled ones, I don't mind the 420HC on them I've never had issues with on the regular 110 model.
Did the lock on the Pro fail several times when you were smacking it?otherwise interesting video thank you.
The Pro is my fave EDC now. Buck rocks !
I go through one every 2 years or so. Use it every day. I guess ithis makes me an old guy... just bought another 110 last week. Use the shit out of one, every day. I think it us a matter of time habit thing, having carried one, mostly, every day since about 1975.... fuck... I am an old guy.
As a medium duty knife, used to heavy standard (cutting corrugated cardboard)... It holds up well. Just an expendable tool.
I’d buy you a beer sir, if only I could 👍🏼
I was actually looking for a video about this very topic since I am about to buy a 110. Love the humor! I gotta say, I prefer the classic (for now), only because I am sort of an older fart who grew up when the heavy 110 was the go-to for almost anyone, except us "po folks." I'm gonna buy myself one now that I'm all growed up and can afford to buy one for myself. I have a spydie I really like and carry everyday, and I even inherited a 110 from my dad, BUT he had a very odd way of sharpening his knives in such a way as to ruin the blade... he had to have used a cinder block on this one. But hey, I'm pretty sure it will cut ceiling tile pretty well.
Best knife channel !!!
Thanks man!
Nice review.
Thanks!
Could someone put a link to buy the pro I can’t find it anywhere
How were the grinds were yours?
I carry Buck 110 and when I'm hunting I have 3 110s with me, the 110 LT, 110 OG, 110 finger groove.
I own a Micarta Buck Spitfire, and it has the same blade play issues. I really feel like the Micarta Buck folders are kneecapped by not having any sort of liner. My car died just has a little too much give to be used as the sole handle scale material.
I don't have any other liner-less micarta knives to compare it to, my it might be the case.
Subscribed..loved the humor
Good review
Oh, that is hilarious! Is that a Schlafly bottle opener mounted to that log? I love Schlafly beers. Spent a lot of time at that brewery. I might have to pick up that Buck 110 slim select. Thought being that it's light enough to put in the pocket of my fixed blade Ontario SP51 or RD7 sheath for camping and backpacking. I did score the aluminum bolster 110 with drop point and pocket clip from Copper and Clad out of Missouri. All my Benchmade and "super steel" knives I've collected over the years just sit in a drawer now. I don't see the need for a long sharpening session at the campsite when that BOS 420HC is all you need and easy to sharpen. Good review as usual.
Really good channel bro
I will wait a year or two before buying the micarta 110. I hope the quality will go up with the production runs if not we always will have Lyn's children.
Yeah, maybe they'll fix the issues.
U should drink more than 5 beers...i do...iam older than u...yes i still have my old buck 110...i have to go drink more beer...there is none in heaven...great vidio bro.
This seems like pretty good advice to me!
Opening lyrics to a great country song!
I'm 29 years old and I absolutely love my og buck 110 it's a respectable knife and definitely one you hand open not closed
Wow, no-one noticed the multiple lock back failures starting at 10:50? Buck needs to address that ASAP. I'm surprised you didn't mention that bro. ☝😕
I often shoot and write these separately, that was the last shot after I had most of the review finished. I hesitate to call a lock failure because of batoning an issue. It's there for the viewer to make their own determination... if that's a big deal to you then I would avoid it. By the way, all those pieces of wood were different levels of hardness.
Umm...it was in the video. Why a necessity to talk about it? I don't baton with folding knives anyway, especially hollow ground ones lol.
No no no no batoning!
So the way this works Harold, is you don't ever have to baton on your CZcams channel. On mine I can do whatever the hell I want. Cool, glad we had that talk.
Advanced Knife Bro Ha ha ha. ...that did make me giggle.....
I was eyeballin the select for a while now, thanks for rundown.
Its shame about the pro, i wonder if adding washers (i dunno just speculating) would take out the wobble?
Peen the pivot pin. Takes about a minute.
@@dobypilgrim6160 hmm, true
But id be hesitant to try, dont wanna ruin the action or turn into a fixed blade
I thought I got the best buck 110 ever until I realized it said cold steel broken skull on it. I do like the clip on the select, blade play on the pro is a no go. I wouldn't even try to take them apart at the rivet, me being a below average knife bro and all
"5 beers deep" - LOL! More like at the bottom of whiskey river ;-)
look at the 110 auto elite. s30v blade. pricey but I'm going to get one. also copper and clad makes several different blade shapes and types. 5160 and s30v are options.
A quick tip for tightening up the original 110 is to fold a leather belt on each side of the pivot bolster and slowly clamp it in a vice.
I'll remember this when it gets to the point.
Johney5 Spot I just put it inside a thick phone book, close it, and wallop it with a rubber mallet.
I've done both it works well.
A. R.H. Laughed too hard at something that isn’t even a joke
I would say you are my hero but meloncholy dictates I don’t. Instead I’ll say “This was more than adequate“
I love your stuff man.
Always a good laugh. Good work
Thanks man!
10:49 - 11:23 perfectly sums up why everyone watching this channel should bow to their sensei.
I love Buck but also find your reviews totally hilarious!
Give us a handle test. I'd like to know what it takes to break them. I think prying breaks most plastic handles.
This is a misnomer that is propagated over lack of awareness of types and qualities of polymer handles. Never ever have I had a legit FRN or GFN handle break on me- the “plastic” this handle is made out of. However over the years the parts that have failed on knives are made from metal. I have had aluminum handles crack, soft screws strip... once I broke a blade. Let me ask you this? Ever had any small or large metal parts break on you over the years? Not even on knives. Ever break a screw? Parts of door handles? Ever seen brass break? I have. So no, I don’t agree with you. If I had to wager on guess of the part of the 110 most likely to break... It’d probably be the pivot. While plastic does break... so does metal.
Was it Red Dead Redemption 2 you were playing?
breath of the wild!
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Splatoon 2 for Marinas titties.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Damn close enough! Good game
Hopefully that pivot on the pro is a defect?
Hopefully?
I have a OG 110 but I carry a slim for my EDC, I only payed $20 so if I loose it I don’t really care
. . . Aaaaand the batonning!
GreatVids. I enjoyed it.
You don't like the Buck 110? Hell I bet you don't even chew tobacco or dip snuff. City boy.
Lol.
I like my Cold Steel Machete, doesn't that count for something?
Ehh why chew when you can roll up some rabbit tobacco smokes or have a pack of quality cigs or cigars . yes the plug or twist tobacco was an extra reason to carry one but chaw ain't everyone's cup of tea. The modern glass laced chew causes one to get cotton mouth faster when they go hit the everclear. smokes and chaw are 2 very different delivery systems. give him the benefit of the doubt he chops wood starts fires drinks from a mason jar among other things smokes cusses likes beer knows his jackets knives flashlights as well as backpacks and satchels
@@ericwhite3526 Yep. Good old rabbit tobacco! Haven't smoked that since about 1970! Thanks for the memory. My brother and I picked it out by our old well. A REAL well. With a bucket. We had no idea that we were poor
@@dobypilgrim6160 welcome
Copenhagen OLC, BUCK 110 CLASSIC, Cold Steel Voyager, Metallica, Disturbed, Waylon Jennings
None adjustable pivots.
Well guess I’m passing on these.
So close Buck so close.
Does anyone know if he has ever reviewed the case Bowie?
I have not
I think REMOVABLE pocket clips are necessary. Clip is there when you want it, and not there when you don't.
I'm not sure what I think of these new 110 and 112 slim knives. I have one of each coming so I can test them but I already feel like they won't live up to the reputation of the classics as classy but tough work horse knives
An video voiced entirely by the voices making up the peanut gallery would be awesome. I can't get enough of those voices.
I'll bet you could!
bro if you had the choice broken skull or buck 110?
broken skull. Better steel and lighter.
Thanks:-)
The every mans gold. You made my day with that one, kid.
Recently bought my wife a 110 auto and the brass is discoloring.
Not so my Case Hammerhead.
That micarta guy, the pro, that's a knife on gonna need to get
How about BUCK step up and make a select pro the plastic handles with the s30v steel. I would really like my select more then. But at last I too have the green select. And I'm one of them that picked up the button type og BUCK 110 and it's a 110 alright and it has a button as well but still the old steel and the butt style lock. Cheers
S30v is available in the custom line
You seem like a snarky introvert such as myself. Got my sub. Working toward the 1% Medford. :P
The good news is that the 110 will prepare you for the weight of the medford! Thanks man!
People buy an OG 110 for one reason only. Nostalgia!!! Their grandpa had one, their Dad had one, and literally every male figure in their life had one. Is it the best choice in any category? Absolutely not! Does it put a smile on your face and can be bought for less than $35? You bet your Bucking Ass!!! 😉👍🏼
The original 110 also makes for a great small boat anchor
I think that the Wolverine impression would go down a storm at the asbestos factory for opening sacks of powdered asbestos with a dramatic flourish. People are saying that asbestos is real healthy these days. I think it’s called “clean asbestos” or some such.
Would you ever considering going back to cheap knives again like the rough rider's? particularly the fixed blades as they are really untouched by anyone but I'm sure people are curious.
The Buck 110 is cheap! I hesitate to dabble in cheap Chinese knives as much as I used to. I don't mind Chinese knives at all, however trying to navigate through what is and isn't a clone of another knife is hard for me. I try and avoid clones nowadays, just to avoid all the stupid arguments they generate. I'll look into some rough riders, and some cheaper international knives too... I mean this year I did that video where I reviewed quite a few cheap international knives. Many under $20.
Oh I know, I got one I use around the house and food prep, yet to touch deer. It's alright if you want to avoid Chinese knives cuz of the clone debate. It's why I'm recommending Rough Rider, since it seems like these are the clones people are ok with because people will complain about a similar blade shape or a hole in modern designs, but when your whole knife is cloned by several companies who just basically stick their logo and accompanying QC standards to it, that's just becoming a "pattern".
www.roughriderknives.com/stone-mountain-bowie/
Come on, doesn't this knife just make your penis grow a whole 2 inches? Seriously though rough rider seems to have some nice fixed blades.
I'll keep them in mind!
I believe the center of gravity of the OG is due to its function as a skinner & dresser of game...
Brass and blood is going to get pretty nasty pretty quick. I’d stick with one of their mostly stainless fixed blades and not use a folder.
As always informative and funny bro. Please do some other EDC and not beer. I think that's just an excuse to chug good brew lol!!
I'll keep it in mind. I just don't carry a whole lot other than flashlights, multitools, and knives. But I'll try.
