Buck Knives 110

I've always loved hiking, but I'm new to camping so I've been researching and gathering equipment. Right now I'm looking to buy my first knife. I can afford the Buck Knives 110 and from what I've read it seems to be iconic with outdoorsy people and it has good reviews, so it seems like I can't go wrong with it. However I would like your opinions on it.

Is there anything that would serve me better for the same price? Please make suggestions if you have them.

Get a cold steel or something.

Voyager large is a few bucks more.

For 68$ you get a code 4 with premium steel.

like you say - it's an iconic knife dating back to 1965 or so.

It is also heavy as sin at 7.2 ounces. If you want a traditional folding knife, get something from Great Eastern Cutlery.

Otherwise, there are some cheap cold steel and spyderco knives that will do a better job. Or you can get an Izula 2 for around $68, or an LT Wright Bushcrafter HC for $75 (without a sheath, $105 with) - that's what I'd recommend.

Stupid premise.

>make big hokin heavy ass folder
>blade so thick it slices like crap
>use 420HC steel

If you need to go the sharpened prybar route there are plenty of even simple carbon steel that crush S30V for toughness, so save some money and roll the dice with a chinese knockoff and you might actually get one.

I actually own that knife and use it regularly. But you're asking a board that shills pretty regularly on anything. Put oil on the hinge to make opening it a bit less stiff and pay extra close attention to the inside of the handle where the blade rests when folded as I've caught several spots where the steel rusted spotted. While this can be nothing, it pays to keep attention to detail to prevent any other issue. I love mine. It's not an EDC blade by any stretch and there are several other brands that make a decent imitation style for less. But all things considered, I think it was a great investment. Hope I gave you the feedback you wanted.

I live in Canada, not sure if I'm allowed to carry fixed blades around or anything over 4".

Looking at the Cold Steel Code 4, it has good reviews, but I'm wondering what difference there is between the spear point, tanto point, or clip point?

As far as I know, in Canada you aren't allowed to carry concealed weapons, that's all. If you have a reason to need it you can open carry anything that isn't on the prohibited weapons list (eg no switchblades, balisongs or punch daggers).

The downside is that cops can try to claim your nail clippers are a weapon if they want to be bastards, but I think they have to prove intent to get a conviction.

Looks like knife laws in Canuckistan are all about intent, but if you're worried about the blade length there's the craftline ones with 3.6" blades. Obviously you don't want to carry one in the city, but if you're innawoods then nobody will care.

Honestly this is THE outdoor knife as to date.

You see it everywhere when the guy likes knives a little.

Light, long, perfect shape.

Real outdoorsmen favor the design (mountaineers, hikers etc...)

Even the military uses it, there's a pic of a Green Beret loadout that used a Cold Steel tanto as a prybar knife and a serrated Endura to cut stuff

There's a reason it's the most copied knife design to date. It's sturdy and it works

/out/ hates anything that's not ultra light and fancy steel. 420hc isn't the best but it's far from bad and isn't hard to maintain and the weight isn't an issue unless you're an ultralight high speed low drag August

I've carried one since I was 13 and it's never let me down. I've cleaned and butcherd game and fish and used it for just about every camp chore there is and if it wasn't for it going overboard this summer im positive it would have outlived me

tl;dr it's not perfect but it's a damn good knife

I do love the vintage appearance of it, the colours are warm. And yeah, I don't know how strong the steel really needs to be, I'm mostly just gonna be cutting paracord and sharpening small sticks to use as tent pegs.

I guess I'll just go with a Cold Steel Finn or Code 4 or Buck Knives 110, all depending on which one I can find the cheapest. I don't think I'd regret any of those based on what I've read.

Buck 110s are fine for what you'd use a pocket knife for

It's a little heavy for some, though

I'd rather carry a Spyderco Endura, but I'd have no problems with a Buck 110 (I have one)

It's a good knife. Kinda heavy/bulky to carry around daily but that also means it's a very solid locking and feeling knife.Very sharp and pointy (point breaks easily not for any kind of prying). Definitely not a dedicated survival knife or a daily carry but it does good while /out/ and does cut very well. Also it looks good and feels good in your hands, worth the 30$

black finished blades end up looking like shit after heavy use. especialy if you use it for food prep at all.

good price though.

I don't really like spyderco and haven't owned one since I was in the army. but my next knife is going to be a spyderco with an h1 blade as an all around salt water knife.

also, op, the buck 110 is a good knife. it will snap if misused, but they will replace it for free. It is heavy, but will last forever with a little care. I have had mine for almost 15 years. I keep it in my glove box since I have better lighter knives, but the 110 is a classic for a reason.

I am the guy you are replying to. they are flimsy. when I was in the army I ruined 2. I had an sog tiny switchblade beta version that I got for free that lasted longer than a 80 dollar spyderco.

they cannot take abuse. which is the same reason I hate those stupid plastic sheaths. fall all of your 200 pounds of body weight, plus 100 of armor gear and misc, repeatedly, on a kyvex or whatever sheath and see what happens.

spyderco is not a bad knife, but overpriced in almost all markets. just buy a kershaw. the only thing they are probably the best at in the price range is the salt water stuff, which is why I want one of their h1 knives.

Buck Bantam is a great choice.

They're cheap, light, and sharp. If you're looking for a folder, they're hard to beat. They're cheap enough that if you lose it, you won't be out much.

I also have a Mora, and find myself going back to the Buck. I just prefer a folder for some reason.

The buck Bantam cones in 3 sizes, I'd go for the largest one as even that isn't oversized.

Comes in a few camo patterns if you're into that. You can check them out in amazon. The different sizes are BLW BDW and BHW I think but not sure which is small and which is large, so check the blade length in the description to know what size you're getting.

I had a spyderco delica "clipit", which was a very lightweight delica from the 90's for 16+ years and used it every day and it did fine. I lost it... it never wore out or broke. My standard for flimsy is probably different than that guy's though. I hear flimsy, I think kershaw leek... which I don't understand why it is so popular unless a lot of people are into fruit carving.

And you should know spyderco and crkt have different manufacturing plants with consistently different levels of quality and it is worth determining which plant the knife is coming from if you're feeling concerned about anything. (Though I think all the spyderco plants are good or better... crkt's china plant can suck a nut.) Kershaws QC is similar to bucks (buck can't center folders worth a shit half the time) and you should only get them from places where you can return them.

a friend at work has one of those, and i carried it for a day and a half ( took it to sharpen it and try to work on it a bit)

Handles are lightweight , But also leave me wishing for some more stability , the handles feel cheap imho

Blade steel seems pretty junk if you ask me, Soft, and doesnt hold the edge very well ( But on the bright side super easy to sharpen and it takes a decent edge )
Maybe its not super junk But maybe comprable to 8cr13mov or aus 8

im also not personally a fan of lockbacks in general Since they arent the easiest to close one handed,

Also worth noting the knife i personally handled didnt flip open well even after doing the cleaning and lubing i could do

That brings me to another point, Pin together construction leaves alot to be wanted ( for me atleast) in terms of maitnence , if i cant take it apart , clean and service a knife myself its not something i really want to own

also worth noting im a bit of a knife/steel snob so im more picky than most in terms of what il carry ( or atleast what i prefer to carry

if i were op i would buy a Ontario rat 1 or 2 ( depending on size prefference )
Aus 8 Screw construction bronze bushings , Good value for the money
they even have a rat 1 in d2 tool steel

>What's up with this differenr factory shit though?

I stopped purchasing production knives heavily a little while ago but for spyderco it's usually taiwan>>colorado~=japan.
For crkt it's taiwan>>>>>>>>>...x10001...>>>>>>>>>>>china.

For bucks and kershaws I'd just make sure the return policy is simple (amazon is free). They do some neat knives, but the qc is all over the place.

Frankly, if you get a knife you like, don't let some random stranger on the internet bother you about it.

Example- some people hate backlocks and I like them because of the naturally awesome blade retention and I have absolutely no rouble closing them 1-hand and my hand is never in the knife path. They do sometimes suffer some a little blade wiggle more than other lock types... but the really well done ones do not.

To end- I'd just say buy from a place you can return stuff to freely and try out things to see what you like. Do a little research on shit steels and grinds too. Good luck with it.

I agree the quality is variable. But I've returned like 2 spydercos for defects and maybe 50 buck knives and crkts for defects.

It's a little heavy for the trail, but it won't kill you. If I was going to carry a knife that heavy it'd be a multi tool.

The people who saying weight isn't an issue either don't hike enough, or carry dick extensions around and can't start a fire when it's raining without splitting wood with their knife. You'll probably only use your knife to open food wrappers and maybe during fire building. A leatherman small enough to clip to your keys can accomplish this (and its got scissors). Ounces make pounds-and a pound in the morning is two in the afternoon.

Finn Wolf is a good choice, nice scandi grind that's useful for small wood tasks and easy to sharpen. I'm going to get one to replace my old bear folder.

Apparently the early models had a hollow grind which caused the edge to be a bit weak, but the newer ones are flat scandi as they should be and work fine.

This review points that out and does a good job demonstrating the knife not just talking about it.

Neat. $25.OO MORE but it's D2, that makes a huge difference, D2 kicks ass for edge retention. Totally worth it.

just about any well made full tang feild knife. not many folders. aside from the 110, I have a gerber switchblade that has proved to be bombproof. literally.

just go buy a full tang 5" knife with a leather sheath. it will last forever.

One more vote for the buck 110. Ya maybe I paid too much for it, I even have the fancy ergo grips. But I got it %25 off and it's held up well the past couple years. It may be heavy, but atleast it's properly weighted.

Easiest way to tell if it's fake is the packaging
In the spyderco box how does the foam fit ? Is it a tight fit or somewhat loose

This isn't 100% reliable but alot of clones have the foam wrong inside

I have the 112 with the finger grooves, so nearly the same knife.

Build quality, fit and finish, all excellent. Factory edge was too toothy for my liking but that was easy enough to tune up.

It's all good, except it doesn't hold an edge very well. 420HC is great at corrosion resistance but shit-tier at edge retention.

I will NEVER buy another blade made of 420HC. Never.

Besides, if we're talking about camping we should be talking about fixed blades. I can't comment on that except to say that Mora's are good knives. Outstanding value. However I make my own knives now so I don't really know what else to recommend in that category.

Forgot to say, the buck feels terrific in the hand. The lock up is perfect, grip is comfortable, and edge geometry is good. When sharp it works great! It just doesn't hold an edge.

how about listing knives that can actually cut things? Or were made for the human hand?

BK2 is a semi-sharpened brick, gek has a shitty handle (and bad geometry), and the glock is just crap.

You can't go wrong with it. The same for a Mora, a Pinel, a larger SAK or a Fallkniven F1.

Turns outt they all cut shit up.

I would go with a No8 Opinel for hiking and a Victorinox Hercules for camping (one needs a saw and a corkscrew for camping).

i have been using mora for years. I still have my benchmade around but because of its price it is more of a showpiece for me. I hate using it. Moras are so cheap and so amazing I love abusing them. Their scandy grind makes them ridiculously easy to sharpen (especially in field) and for 11 dollars you really cant get more bang for the buck. Dont let the price tag fool you.

I've snapped two Moras because they're not full tang.

For the love of god, do not buy a Mora if you intend to make feathersticks or do rough work.

The ones with synthetic handles at least are 3/4 tang. How the fuck do you snap those? If you know anything about high carbon steel you should know that you need to keep them sharp on the regular. There is no reason to put that kind of force into a featherstick if you have any kind of acceptable edge and know how to make a proper featherstick. You can baton the shit out of them with no problems. They are absolutely a workhorse.

Literally how? Unless you use them for batoning or prying (neither of which you should ever do with any knife), I can't imagine how.

Prying is the only way I can imagine they would have any problems with and as you say no knife should be used as a pry.

It's essentially the American answer to Opinel. Avoid Stainless Steel in general, impossible to sharpen.

You really shouldn't ask /OUT/ for an opinion on this stuff, there's a strong bias towards cheap foreign goods here.

I bought a Mora, came off-center. Last foreign product I've bought. Would've got the Carbon Steel model if I'd know cooking oil was viable for combating rust...
