@CatHater Don Wang if you're looking for strictly self defense purposes then a 119 is better than a 110 in my opinion. Fixed blades are almost always more reliable. However it's much harder to conceal. That being said, if you're wanting a defensive knife, neither of those are ideal. There are far better designs that are more concealable, easier to access, lighter, and way more ergonomic (so your hand doesn't slide up the handle and get cut). This knife is a tank by pocketknife standards, but it would be low on my list of defensive knives. Do some searches of defensive EDC knives on KZread. There's tons of options that beat this. Best of luck!

I've had my buck 110 since 1978 have carried it every day In 1980 I thought I lost it so bought another one. I found the original later so had two. I've replaced the blade on the original and still carry it today and I'm 67 years old!

I bought my 110 in 1982 when I joined the U.S. Coast Guard. It cut thousands of ropes over those 4 years. I have used mine hunting, fishing, fire fighting, construction, virtually every situation where you would use a knife, except for self defense. It has cut wood, rope, plastic, leather, apples, meat, and even aluminum cans. When it dulls, I sharpen it and go on. I bought a limited edition Buck 55 with both factory logos, and gave it, new in the box to my neigbor for his knife collection. My 110 is still structurally solid. I chipped the tip once and had to reform it. I have had both old timer and case pocket knives go wobbly blade with sides popping off.. but my 110 is about the best folding knife I have ever known. I will give it to my first grandchild who becomes a sailor.

@@carmineredd1198 Well, the last time I checked, Merchant Marines are sailors. I didn't get spacific. As far as stopping the Navy ships goes, how many 3 letter agencies do you think we would have to go through to stop one of their boats? Our cutter would have been turned into an artificial reef with us still aboard and nobody would have heard or seen anything. We would have been featured on some mystery show about a Coast Guard Cutter that mysteriously disappeared in the Burmuda Triangle. They will ask, was it a rogue wave? Aliens? A time vortex? Magnetic anomaly? Any supernatural event they can think up. But one cause will never be pondered. Target practice! Sound far-fetched? Answer this. When the USS liberty was under attack, the USS Saratoga heard their cry for help and sortied 12 fighters and 4 tankers to go defend them. Why, when word of the rescue mission reached D.C., did Sec. Def. Robert McNamara immediately order the planes to abort the mission and return immediately to the carrier? I tend to think those sailors didn't matter to President Lyndon Johnson, and he wanted McNamara to allow the Liberty to go to the bottom, so he could blame Egypt, and use the sinking to justify joining the 6 day war alongside Israel. At any rate, it seems like at least a couple 3 letter agencies decided it best to reassign the survivors across the Navy where no two of them went to the same command and ordered them under threat of prison, not to talk to anyone about what happened. Most Coasties enjoyed our mission of saving mariners from peril on the high seas, interdicting smugglers and pirates on the high seas, and diligently protecting our coastal waters. So when we encountered Navy ships on the high seas we would all stand along the rail on deck and pass honors to each other. And occasionally our captain or XO would take a small boat over and exchange ship's hats, Zippos, patches, jackets, post cards, coffee mugs and other swag on-hand. Our CO and XO both had footlocker full of swag from other ships. This was before challenge coins became the thing. I imagine they became just another item of exchange because the CO's really like their patch, hat and Zippo collections.

Honest review. Thank you. I have carried Bucks since the late 60's and I have to say they are the best bang for the Buck.

I spent an aggregate of 32 months In-Country Vietnam between 1966 and 1972. During that time, I opted to carry a Buck 110 instead of the Marine Corps / Navy KaBar knife. I never missed the KaBar and I always had the Buck with me in a belt sheath.

Buck knives and Marlin 60s..USA! Just got one a few days ago....it felt totally nostalgic to have one in my hands again. Have went the Spyderco / Benchmade way the last 25 years but I had Buck knives as a kid.....think I got my first knife at 8. When I got my first 22.....as a means to clean squirrels and fish..... I'm glad to see they still make them in the USA. I'll be buying more to have put around here and there in different bags and to give away as gifts.....

I've been carrying buck 110 for years. My daddy and pawpaw carried them. Great knife to have. Mine always sharpens up pretty good. Besides it can be used for more than just a cutting tool. The brass ends on the knife can be used as a striking device in any situation that you might get in. Great video man thanks for posting.

I have a Buck 110 that a friend found in an old motorhome that was traded in where we worked as teenagers in 1978 and he gave it to me because he already had one. I still have it but it's got a little blade wobble from me abusing it over the years, but it works fine. I bought a new one 6 years or so back and it is tight as a drum and I just use it like you are supposed to mostly. Great knife, easy to sharpen. I've got big hands and the big smooth handles make cutting stuff up for the trash or chores around our 12 acres easy on my hands especially since I have a bit of arthritis now. In the summer when I'm wearing shorts the Buck 110 slim is nice because it is real light and doesn't pull your shorts down or flop around in your pockets.

If the blade gets broken beyond use send it back to Buck for 10.00$ they will put a new blade on it. Your video convinced me that I need a 55 Buck knife to go with my 110 and 112! Great video thanks!

Nice review. Love the Buck 110. Don’t know how many ‘super steel’ knives I’ve collected over the years and I just went right back to ‘ole faithful 110. One of the reasons is the BOS 420HC and it’s ease of sharpening in the field on backpacking, hiking, or hunting trips. I have an original from 2005, but prefer drop point blades over clip point and got the Copper and Clad aluminum lightweight drop point with 420HC and pocket clip. I now pair it with my Ontario 1/4” 5160 RD6 or RD Tanto for backpacking because again ease of sharpening that 5160. And both are USA made and Buck represents Idaho! The Buffalo Bore ammo I carry also represents Idaho. Having this pairing deep in the very rugged, roadless wildernesses of the River Of No Return, Selway-Bitterroot and Caribou-Targhee is perfect. Now why did I spend all that money on super steel knives?

If you snap the blade in two / or break the tip, you can send the knife back to Buck in the USA and they will replace the whole Blade, and buff the Handle (for $10 dollars).
