Seems like this is a classic folder eversince, well built design that lasted a long time. Are the new ones made in China same in quality ?

Is nothing made in America anymore? It really makes me mad that we have lost sooooo much of our industry to China and other countries. WAKE UP AMERICA. We need to put higher tarriffs on Chinese imports in order to protect our jobs. Wake up Congress. My son borrowed my scharade and lost it. He replaced it with one made in china. It's not the same quality knife imho.

[matrem]

The ones I own were made in the seventies.China was still considered a "third world" country.Weren't they?

[MCgunner]

I never cared a whole lot for the Buck 110 anyway, but it was a game changing design. I have an old worn out one still. My current hunting/gutting knife is a Gerber folder and I have a Gerber fixed blade skinner I like a lot. Gerbers are decent quality and affordable. I find the edge holding abilities of Gerbers superior to any 110 I've ever owned and I've worn out several in hard use as everyday tools, not just hunting knifes. For everyday use anymore, I carry a multitool.

The 110 is a classic knife, for sure. All mine were 70s made, too. If I wanted a Chinese knife, walmart sells "Ozark Trails" for a buck. :rolleyes: Unfortunately, about everything is Chinese made anymore. They probably make Gerbers, don't know, but what can ya do?

[Kman]

Skinned a few deer with a 110, when locking blade knives were few and far between it had it's place, the Schrade LB7 too, same design. Think I still have the 110 in my outfit bag, an LB7 UH sits in my cabinet unused, it's collector value has surpassed it's user value.

[chrisb507]

The Buck 110 I purchased recently at Wal Mart says "U.S.A" on the blade.

It's sharp, it's pretty, it's heavy and it locks up tight. It's a great knife for the price, I think.

[countertop]

Love mine. Its made in the US of A. I didn't realize they made them in China, thats sad if true.

[dakotasin]

Are the new ones made in China same in quality ?

absolutely not.

i have gone through a half dozen or so 110's in the last several years. i gave my last one away to a friend who needed a knife for his kid's first hunt, so i went and bought a couple new ones w/o closely examining them.

imagine my dismay to find they were both china knives. one of them didn't even make it thru the first hunting season (blade cracked), and the second one made it thru two hunting seasons before it was done (although i limped it along for longer than i should have w/ the chipped blade, but when a crack developed, it was tossed).

anyway, if it is a china 110, i'd strongly urge you to skip it. if it is a usa 110, it will probably be ok for awhile.

between danner's chinese crap, and buck's china-stunt, i have learned to check the product's origin closely, and i've learned thru the loss of many dollars to stay away from the china junk.

[emerson]

I just purchased a new 110 and from everything I've observed it was made in the USA, although I could be mistaken. The knife feels solid and I feel confident it will last.

[SGR]

Buck 110s are made in the US, not China.

[nathan]

Ill have to check at Walmart. But on the other hand, this SOG flash ll seems to have very good reviews and its light weight as well.

I have the SOG Flash II and love it. I used it, among other things, to help dig a stuck F250 out while turkey hunting. I thought the knife would be ruined. I put it through the dishwasher and it was in decent shape. I should have stopped there, but I took it apart to clean it better. You will need about 4 hands to get the spring installed correctly. Great knife though.

[SGR]

You can get a 110 from Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas with the upgraded steel, either SV30 or CPM154 for around $85-you cannot get a finer folder anywhere for that price. I have both and they are the sharpest knives I have ever owned.

[Ron James]

I collect Buck 110's and their clones. The Buck 110 and the 112 are still made in the U.S., Copies of the Schrade are made in China. Schrade folded after 100 years in June of 2008 and the name was sold. Their 13 dollar copies are not bad looking, a little rough on the finish, Since I only use my old Vietnam era buck, I have no ideal if the steel is any good.

[buck460XVR]

got a coupla of 'em. Nice knives to look at, but are too dam big and unwieldy to do anything with but sharpen sticks.

That is why Buck came out with the Bucklite way back when. I still have an original one with the reddish handles and rivets. I have a newer one with the one piece black handle that has a permanet place in my hunting pack.

They are a great light weight folder with a above average blade.

[ArfinGreebly]

Made in China??

Uh, no.

Made in Post Falls, Idaho, USA, less than ten miles from my house.

I have seen no evidence of any Buck 110s made in China. At all.

I've recently reviewed all of mine, including the Wal*Mart purchases: 100% U.S.A. on all of them.

Same with the Buck 112 Ranger. Same with the Buck 119, 120, 105, and the rest of their classics, including their Stockman, Cadet, Companion, and so on.

All made right here.

If you EVER have a problem with a Buck knife, they will fix or replace it. Personal experience with that.

I don't know where this recent spate of "Buck 110 made in China" rumors came from, but the rumor is false. There are no 110s made in China.

And, let me also say this: their imports (from China) have serious QC, and they are all quality pieces.

Buy Buck with confidence.

They stand behind everything they make, both here and abroad.

[oneounceload]

Buck 110's are made in BOTH China and the US - the Chinese ones are going for around 30-35 while the US made ones are about double that

I've had one for over 30 years - works great every time

[jhansman]

Can someone contact Buck and get this argument resolved? I only have one, made in the 70s, and have never needed another. ;)

[rjsixgun]

Buck 110 made in China???? Since when? are you sure its a BUCK 110?

Look at the tang, It should say "BUCK" under that it will have "110" and a symbol (mine is a sideways T) what does yours say?

the Symbol after 110 is a year mark.

[glockman19]

WAKE UP AMERICA. We need to put higher tarriffs on Chinese imports in order to protect our jobs. Wake up Congress.

China has us by the balls. Higher tarrifs won't happen. congress Won't bite the hand taht feeds it.

China has already threatehed congress that they will dump US Dollars, approximately 1.5 Trillion of them.

My Buc's are all USA manufactured. perhaps you bought a bootleg Buck made in china.

[22-rimfire]

ALL Buck 110's are made in the USA. I own several. Most recent one I purchased last year. For a basic belt sized folding knife, it is hard to beat a 110 in which ever steel you choose.

The SOG Flash II is a good knife. Most of SOG's products are very good. Take a look at the SOG Mini Vulcan. It is a great knife.

[wuchak]

I have a Buck 110 in its original box on a shelf in my office with my "clutter" as my wife calls it. My Dad bought it on a trip to Colorado in the mid 1970's.

[TimboKhan]

I sent an e-mail to Buck asking them directly what the answer to this question is. I personally think that Arfin is 100% right, but when I get a reply I will post the answer.

[Ron James]

However, Buck. Spyderco,Gerber ( and Puma ) are all having SOME knives made in China. Also the Quality control has improved tremendisly over the past several years. Remember when "Made in Japan" was a mark of something very cheap and Soddy. Now Japan and Taiwan are turning out some of the best knives in the World, Sorry about that. Japan is priceing itself out othe market.Their workers will no longer work for a dollar a day and a bowl of rice.

[CoRoMo]

I have a Winchester that seems to be a 110 knockoff.
What's weird is that it doesn't have a "Made In..." stamp anywhere on it. It is fairly cheap in quality.

[matrem]

"However, Buck. Spyderco,Gerber ( and Puma ) are all having SOME knives made in China."
Unfortunately,we need to add Benchmade to that list too.

[Ron James]

I have one of those Winchester copies in my collection, you're right, very poor piece of work. On the reverse side of Winchester it should read Stainless China. Smith and Wesson knives made in China are bad also. Product manufacturing moving " off shore " is a problem affection all of the western world. I'm not sure of what the answer is. American names over a hundred years old are now showing up "made in a cheap 3rd world country".:barf:

[justice4all]

I have a Cabelas Alaska Buck 110. It's a great knife, but, as others have noted, it is heavy.

[Ron James]

The Buck 110 was the first modern "tactical folder", In 1966 I believe every military personnel in RVN carried one. Big sigh, now they are too big and heavy, oh well, progress marches on with the new fiber handle liner locks, which by the way are very good products. ( I own a number of them but my first love is the 110 and the 112) :)

[SGR]

I have already posted about this once, just look at their website, it tells where each model is made. 110s are made in USA, not China.

[Resto Guy]

I've had my 110 since around 1973. I got it at the Fort Monroe PX. I stopped carrying it many years ago because of the weight. Kinda like carrying a 1911 loose in your front pocket.

[MCgunner]

I gots this Rolex in Nuevo Laredo for 10 pesos. It was made in China, too. Everything's made in China now days.....:neener::D

Okay, so MAAAAAYBE it wasn't a Rolex. :rolleyes:

[Nathanael_Greene]

Sure that wasn't a Rollex or a Polex? I've seen plenty of those!

I think I'm the only hunter in America over 40 who doesn't own a Buck 110. May have to remedy that, the weight be damned. (All weighs the same when you're sitting in a truck, anyway.)

[MCgunner]

I have one of the Schrade 110 types, too, old, won't take an edge for squat. I'm glad it might have collector value cause it sure can't cut squat. LOL!

[rjsixgun]

a buddy of mine once got a "ROLEKS" from his girlfriend, the guy wore it everywere show'n it to people and braging about it. We got into an little arguement when he showed it to me and I said it was nice for a 5 dollar watch, "O'no she spend alot of money on it, this is a real ROLEX" well after pointing out that it was spelled ROLEKS, it ticked and it said made in China on the back just like the 3 broken ones in my tool box, he desided to bring it to a watch dealer to have it appraised.......He never talked much about that watch again. I never understood why, mine were great work watches till the battery died, hell you could buy a ROLEKS on any conrner in NYC for less money than a watch battery!

[mbt2001]

One of the reasons that I had hoped Oil would stay high, is it was decimating shipping from China to the US. Wouldn't be long before the regional US companies pick up the slack.

They make crap and there isn't a decent option anymore. Hell, a lot of companies make it here and ship it to China for packaging or bring the pieces from China and assemble it here... Who knows anymore.

[X-Rap]

I had trouble with the locks giving out even with the old 110's. 2 that I owned and a friend of mine had problems also. They were promptly replaced but I never really trusted the locks and quit carrying them. I can't think of much worse thing to happen than a blade fold up on your fingers.
I have a NIB 110 with factory engraved initials of my grandfather, It was some promotion to dealers ( he had a hardware store and pushed Buck hard).

BTW I tested my locks by striking the back of the blade against my boot, you might be suprised by how many don't hold.

[JohnnyOrygun]

My wife (Wonderful Woman she is) just bought be a buck 110 for Valentines day, did I say she is a Great Woman! Anyhow, she works at Wal Mart and my knife is made in USA and I know it wasnt more then $40, because I had looked at them last time I was in Wally World. Excellent knife, very sharp and yes a little heavy, but that doesnt bother me. Very well made and I love my 110 and my Wife!

[etex]

Made in USA. Have owned two since the 80's very good knives IMO.

[Deer Hunter]

I've got at least 3.

They are great knives.
