Description
The Buck Knives 110 Folding Hunter is arguably the most famous and recognizable folding knife in American history. Introduced in 1964, it completely revolutionized the industry by proving that a folding knife could be just as strong, secure, and reliable as a fixed blade. Originally designed for hunters, it was quickly embraced by tradesmen, military personnel, and everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts. Decades later, the 110 remains the ultimate gold standard for heavy-duty traditional folding knives.
At its core is a robust 3 3/4-inch clip-point blade crafted from Buck's legendary 420HC stainless steel. Enhanced by the exclusive Paul Bos heat treatment process, it delivers unmatched edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and structural strength. The substantial handle is a masterpiece of American craftsmanship, featuring heavy-duty solid brass bolsters paired with beautiful, sustainably sourced Crelicam™ genuine ebony wood scales. Locked securely open by Buck’s virtually indestructible lockback mechanism and carried in a premium leather belt sheath, the 110 Folding Hunter is a generational heirloom built for a lifetime of hard work.
How To Use
-
Opening: Hold the handle firmly in one hand. Use the thumb and index finger of your other hand to pinch the blade or use your thumbnail in the nail nick to pull the blade open. Continue rotating until the lockback mechanism engages with a distinct, solid "click."
-
Cutting: Leverage the long belly of the clip-point blade for slicing or skinning, and use the fine tip for precise detail work or piercing. Always cut away from your body. The heavy handle provides excellent momentum and balance.
-
Closing: Hold the knife firmly, ensuring your fingers are clear of the blade's closing path. Depress the lock release bar located on the lower spine (back) of the handle. Use your other hand to gently fold the blade safely into the handle.
-
Maintenance: Keep the pivot point clean and lightly oiled. Wipe the blade clean and dry after use. The solid brass bolsters will naturally tarnish and develop a unique patina over time; this is normal, but they can easily be restored to a brilliant shine using standard brass polish.
