What a great knife. Bought my first one in the '60s and took it to RVN and it stayed with me until the day I left when I was relieved of it before boarding the flight home. I replaced it immediately and that one is still with me. It has been to Mexico, Alaska, the Yukon and has rendered everything from quail and fish to elk. Long before Buck introduced the finger groove model, I cut grooves into it, a thumb notch in the bolster and modified the spring so it works as a flick knife. A few years ago I had the opportunity to meet Chuck Buck and his production manager. He was kind enough to sign and date the blade with an electro-pencil. He asked the production manager to date the knife and the gentleman told him that it had the original blade markings so it was pre-whatever.
The 110 was not the first large folder and it was not the first lockback. It was the knife that made these features mainstream. To this day, no one with a 110 is ill equipped.
