I like the lock remaining where it’s at because you can’t accidentally push the button with your thumb and it close on you while you’re using the knife.

I was thinking the same thing, although I'd prefer the button to be slightly below flush with the surface of the grip panel rather than slightly above, to prevent opening in a pocket

Also regalia issues knife laws I would just get the traditional way the Buck 110 was made.

I actually really like the fact that it still has the lockback mechanism. It's a tried and true, very strong, and dependable lock. To me it's part of that classic aesthetic that buck has. I have a manual 110 and it stays by my side all the time and I don't think an auto version would definitively replace it. Great video!

Absolutely. I dig that rock solid lock engagement, and as you say, it fits the Buck aesthetic. Button release wouldn't be a bad option, but I'd go for this version every time.

Seems the entire point keeping aesthetic, weight and LONGEVITY. The knives that go beyond funtion to "POP" might be great XTReME marketing but no way they don't compromise longevity by causing XceSS wear and fatiguing components.

It was the standard issue with bikers 45 years ago because the lock held while blowing a sidewall.

*The 'Classic Buck' is a much stronger knife over-all than the 'Military/Ninja' bullshit, and that's why it's 'not cheap'*

Absolutely love my buck 110 auto elite g10 scales are great and s30v stainless is very high quality, yes other auto knifes might snap open quicker but really who cares a buck is an American icon!!! William bender

The neat thing about the Buck 110/112 auto with the lockback is that you'll never have to worry about accidently hitting the deploy button while it's open and having a lock failure. I am ambi but favoring my left with most button actuated knives I worry that I grip it to hard and accidently actuate the button/lock having it close on me.

Buck did a great job designing these autos. Forever warrenty. People can keep their latest gimickey wonder knives. I've used a Buck 110 since 1967 when my wife got one for me for my Birthday. I used it on the docks of Phila as a longshoreman to the mountains of Montana logging, hunting, cabin building and cowboying. I've lost a few but none ever let me down. I may get an auto when I return to my home in Montana shortly.

I am a Buck 110, 112 and 500 series fan. I can see the see the deployment speed of the other knives you are showing for sure. But even with that faster speed, you are left holding those other knives in your hand. Even with the new materials those just don't feel as solid (most of them feel junky in comparison). I carry a Buck because it is solid in my hand. It is IMO the best locking ever. I'll take the slower speed and keep that classic lock blade! Thanks for another great video!

do they make the 110a anymore?

Hey Aaron, you should do a video on every single knife you own. Fixed blades and pocket knives. I would totally watch that.

Very unbiased, thorough review. Thank you.

An auto-deploy isn't necessary. A thumb stud isn't necessary. You just place your thumb on the side of the blade and push it out. It's easy. I don't understand why people find it so hard to figure out.

I just love how they where able to make it a good auto and change so little.

Just picked up my auto today and I love it

Good video. I bought a 110, and love it. Its really not a "pocket" knife, but is for sure a great pouch knife. I really like Buck's lifetime guarantee. Yes there are some auto knives that are a little more up to date with a pocket clip, but you don't really buy a Buck 112 or 110 because you want an up to date knife. You buy them for the look of the knife, and its functionality. You know you are getting a truly great knife with a proven history, as well as buying an American made product.

I’ve had a buck 110 S30V (the web exclusive Classic version) for a while and it’s been my EDC ever since I got it. Just purchased the 110 Auto this morning, I’m excited. I’m a huge buck fan, I have the 110 S30V, 557 Pro, and the June Buck of the Month 110.

For years I toyed with the idea of a auto buck 110 Iown one and I love it, I have no cons about this knife at all I'd pay any cost for something I've been wanting for years.

I really like it and even the fact that it is a lock back. Nostalgia,yes I admit.

I have 2 110 automatics and love it.

Hi Aaron, Great to watch your vids on Saturday afternoon,look forward to it, take care.

Excellent display of examples. I agree with you on the price, and quality of all your examples. I still like the tridiagonal back lock on the 110, and all the original design. And it is a fine knife.. Along with the new automatic, but it is for collecting, and will always increase in value. For everyday toting, I would choose the Kershaw over anyone else. Great knife, excellent price. I have had a"Used Assisted Opening" for a long time. Put it up for grand youngan's. Along with approximately five hundred others that I have collected over sixty years of my almost sixtey eight years. Raised being careful and taught about using a pocketknife, and most any knife around age four&a half years old to age six&seven for sure. You had to know! Helping clean fish, chicken, squirrel,or even learning how to dress out the yearly hog. Haah!!! No joke. Just life at the moment. Personally, I can remember my Papaw Blackstock showing my how to always whittle away from your fingers&hands,or any other part of yourself. Just an honest opinion.✌️

I’ve been a knife man my whole life the 112 auto is probably the best I’ve ever had looking forward I’m going to also add a 110 auto with the special heat treat probably the sharpest knives I’ve ever owned thank you buck knives

I have both and I am very glad that I can choose the one I need. The 110 gets carried out in the woods. The 112 is on my side daily.. For my money they are the best...

Thanks for filming

For me, the two hand closing is a deal breaker. Buck should wake up and get to it.

I HAVE to add that to my collection because it,’s a classic Buck AND it’s AUTOMATIC 👍❗️ Great job breaking it down to the bones - you literally hit every point I needed to know before ordering . Thanks👍

I bought the Ranger Elite on a late night Black Friday surfing expedition in 2019. I weighed it against the brass, because I really like the brass, but the S30v and the G10 scales swayed me. I paid just about half of what they're going for now, $135.00. It's 'born on' date was 10/22/19, and to get it to me by the end of that November suggests Buck was really hustling. Out of the box it was a little rough, wouldn't deploy, not a whole lot of the quality finish work you might expect, To some this would seem a detriment, but I love finishing knives. A while on the wheel and it's been mirrored since, and the action perfect. I've been carrying Buck folders since the 60s, and I've wanted an auto since I was expelled from school in 1958 for the old 'hairpin' modification. Oh yeah, where'd I get a Ranger Elite for $135.00? Blade HQ! Good people

I paid $59.95 For the 112 auto in July 2022. It was not a sale price. Today I purchased the 110 auto Elite WOW. Although it was a little pricy...hmm, make that a lot pricy, I Love it. Now I have 2 - 110's and 2 - 112's plus a number of Buck pocket knives. My first 110 was purchased in 1967, a gift from my Mom. I sent it to Buck and for $6.95 it looks brand new, perhaps better then new. Tonight I ordered the McDaniel sheath you recommended. Thank you for the information.

I have just entered into a liking for buck knives. Especially with everything you can do with the Spitfire on their custom shop. Straight Purp Spitfire coming up! I can honestly say, i never heard the sound "Pehh". Learn something new everyday.

If auto knives were legal to own over here I’d buy that in a heartbeat. I’ve always loved those knives but as you say, opening them isn’t as efficient as other options if you have to use one defensively. I think this is the perfect solution to that. It retains all the gorgeous heritage look whilst solving that problem in an awesome way...fantastic.

Buck has always made quality knives,, maybe not the flashiest, but they last forever and easy to keep sharp.......I'm not familiar with the 112 didn't know they had a 3" version,, which is legal in the states I live and play in....I have a couple 110's and love them but even outside sheath carry can get you in conversation with authorities when you put a coat on...cannot have over 3 1/2" concealed...I have one of my 110's from gifted,, that was custom modified with auto button and different color/material scales and really like it,, but cannot wear it daily because of blade length...may have to look at a 112.....thanks for the video,I learned something new today...

Thanks great review.

BUCK 110 and 112 are iconic must haves in a collection. Did buy the 110 in S35VN and Micarta from DLT . Wish I could buy both in auto and use them. Too bad I live in PA where if I choose I can walk out into public with a can of Sabre gel, a flipper knife, a pistol with extra clips, a fixed blade knife (fopen carry or hunting only), a baton, and a taser.......but I can only own a auto for collector purpose only !!!

That was a great breakdown man !!

I just ordered the Buck 110 Auto. It was $179, plus tax, free shipping from Blade HQ. The manual Buck 110 is around $56+. I had a hard time justifying over three times the price to have auto open but I wanted it.

I was a LEO in the 70s and 80s. We all carried the buck 110 on our duty belts. Used to tape stilettos to our leg that where confiscated from dirt bags. Never needed to use it. The thumb stud is all you need one-handed opening. Don’t get me wrong autos are cool Just don’t need it as long as you have one handed opening. Not worth the money to me. Just like the old quick draw in the 1800s is over with. Great video. Respect your opinion. Like you said it’s not for everyone.

I like the auto - it gives auto with the classic look - buck could have gone the extra mile and put a pocket clip

I looked at otf knives, expensive Benchmade autos, cobratec otfs(the only brand my local shop carries) I had never handled an auto before and I ultimately decided to order the 110 auto because the 110 has never let me down, it is my house knife so looking for an edc I listened to my gut and the guy at the gun shop who carries this in his "battle belt" whatever that is... the price has went up since this video, 170 is the cheapest I found it. Thanks for the video!

I have kwik thumb studs on my 112 , 110 and 110lt and like the way they look , the bar thumb stud looks better but I struggled to get my thumb to grab it good .

11:36 If that knife deployed slower and/or had a separate lockback release, you wouldn't have to worry about the blade bouncing out of lock before you release the button. LOL

I did have a thumb stud, now I hold the blade, and with a little quick nudge and with help from gravity, the handle folds out & down, locking on open.

I love my 112 Buck Ranger auto elite I bought it as soon as it came out It's was around 280 had to have one,I would have liked if it had a titanium clip for the pocket It's a Dam shame that it didn't come with one but I'm going to buy one and do it myself overall it's a great knife worth the price

Buck life time warranty is nice

Great video - I was tempted before watching. But I think I'll stick with the classic manual, and look somewhere else for autos!

Cool spin on a classic

Great review buck 110 quick deploy Shieth 42 bucks for a 110 sixty for a quick deploy Shieth!

The 112/110 are classics for sure, but the size and weight alone are a put off for EDC. I love my 112, I just keep it in the truck as a backup, a Mini Crooked River fits the bill for classic look and modern features for me. To pay more for auto and it still be so heavy is a deal breaker. They are what they are, classic.

Love my 112A mine deploys way faster than yours. Mine is a little different than yours. It requires a police or military card to purchase. It’s special edition. Love it

I ordered one of the elite 112 auto rangers with the s30v blade, but had to send it back because the centering was so bad, literally rubbing up against the liner. If I could find one that had decent centering, I would love to have one.

Nice. Your video saved me 140 bucks.

The reason the buck 112 auto doesn't seem to snap with authority is because of the weight of the handle. The weight can burry the recoil of the blade snapping which makes it seem like it's not snappy or fast. I've compared other autos with my 110 and 112 auto. Came to the conclusion the speed is the same as any other auto but the weight makes it feel slow. Just my opinion, great video.

It's the leaf spring vs coil spring and brass construction.

For some reason the deployment is hit and miss. I got 2, one for me and one for my dad, and one of them came out like yours, but the other came out like a bat out of hell with a hard finishing snap. I sent the other back to them and they fixed it for free. They both come out like they should now

I have a buck 112 nickel finish that my mom got me for graduation in 1996. I'm sending it back-to-back for a new blade and a polish. I didn't know the Buck offered that service.

My problem with the 110 automatic is the price which is just ridiculously too high.

Own them love them with the thumb disks Two 110’s one in s35vn and the other in 5160 the hen a 112 micarta lightweight in s30v can carry an auto and I don’t think I can even carry a 110 cause of the blade size

A little graphite will make it work faster even a little 3in1 oil will notice yall. NEver try the easy wY always come up with some weird way of oiling a knife center blade oil it might be worth trying

I have the 110 auto and it too was a little slow in deploying, yet after I blew it out with air and hit it with some lubricant it snaps out with a lot of authority.

Still have my original Buck 110 from 1973. Had to make payments on it. 1st year married. 2nd year, and last, of college. Seems like it was $20. Big money to us at the time. Just found out about the auto version. Seems like a brass button wuda looked better but probly still get one. If Sniffer B and AOC will probly have to make payments on it too. Oh wait, it'll be banned. Assault knife. Nevermind.

I bought the 110 Auto because of the traditional Buck feel, the solidness, the warranty and it is made in the USA. Several of the other auto knives just didn’t feel as sturdy to me.

Today is going to be my birthday. I ordered myself a Buck 110 auto s30v bos g10. They didn’t have it in rosewood here. Please wish me luck with my new blade.

Looked at rhe 110 auto after a "cool gift idea" video i saw. Buck site has priced at , i believe was a little over $200. Amazon was less, but wondered why Buck would have such an aggressively higher price.

Hi Aaron, can't have autos here in Ontario. I do love my Bucks. I have a 4 dot Buck 110 and a 119 from 2001. Inexpensive but well performing tools.

Will you do a review of the new Buck 110 Sport? I have it and love it! I’d love to see you’re review on it.

I have the 110 auto. For what they want for a basic 110 you might as well but the 110 auto. Think they are like $65 at Walmart now for the OG.

You pinch the exposed blade between thumb & forefinger--the lock release end should be pointed away from you--and flick it. If you did it right, gravity & momentum will help you to finish out the arc & lock the blade.

Have you tried the 110 Auto? It has a real nice and solid snap to it. Its my edc, carry it in a horizontal leather sheath

I actually like it!!!

Maybe as a collectors item but should probably get one while you still can because the market for this will likely dry up fast and they'll be discontinued.

My 112 folding ranger has finger choils in it, which I love ! Does Buck have that model in the automatic ?

Awesome video thanks for sharing. What State are you in? Where can I buy the Auto 112? I agree with you. I like the 112 much better.

Lets put a spring in a knife which is not user servicable.. Sounds like a brilliant idea..

Buck lock back makes it unique and better than any other auto knife, even out the fronts. It's the most trustworthy locking mechanism ever designed in my opinion.

I have this knife and it's very cool, however when I've used it like my standard 112 it can get gummed up and hard to close and clean.

I love Buck knives, but $140 is a little stiff for this knife. Still, I would like to own one.

In SFBA, California unfortunately.

Hi guys...suggestions of classic style knives that have been converted to auto open, that are reasonably priced? This is a great look, as is the Case Kickstart. Both are out of my price range though. Thoughts?

Asked the wife to pay $187 before tax for the 112 Auto for my Christmas... Couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on it.

does anyone remember the 110a Buck. Apperently they dont make them anymore. A slender and just a slighg bit smaller if I remember right. That was my fav!

Yeah, I'm not a collector, so I wouldn't get one if these. Good video!

Aaron, I have the auto 110 and store it. Should I store it open, or does it matter. I thought it might help spring. Thank you

Wow… I noticed that you also had to use Two hands to close most of those other automatic knives just like you had to use two hands to close the Buck automatic knife. Weird.

Knife don't need thumb studs you can open the buck by the blade one handed ?

wow.....$180 at BHQ!. Just saw a plain ole 110 at academy sports last night for $40! that one heck of a expensive upgrade cost! I'd NOT BE LAZY and buy a $8 thumbstud!!

I agree. I tried a brand new 110 auto and the blade struggled to come out. Considering Bucks QC, I doubt it was an anomaly.

When it’s time for GT to be critical, he picks BUCK to review😂😂

An automatic BUCK seems to me like a classic british or italian sports car with automatic gear.

The lock back is the strength of the design. All the other push button stuff will cave in on you the buck lockback won't. Don't really care for Flick Knifes my experience is the spring becomes weak eventually. Nothing beats old school Buck 110 Maybe the Cold Steel Code4. If you a fidget flipper guy then go play with them ball bearing flipper toys. If you want a pocket knife get a Buck 110

Can’t find the link for the leather sleeve.

Except if you are a slave who lives in a slave state, why would you NOT want an automatic Buck? If you like the basic knife, an automatic version is only better.

Buck rocks! Auto Buck 110...oh yea baby! Come to daddy! 💝💗💞❣️🖤

How’s the blade Center?

Snappy is irrelevant. It’s a good knife. Might get one one day.

A quick draw sheath is faster by far.

Does the kwik stud work good on the Benchmade proper?
