Re: If buck 110 had Ti scales and screw construction

I like that pocket clip much better than the one they use on the 110 Slim Pro. I've also thought screw together construction would be a huge improvement. Actually, Smitnkp, your design is about as close to the perfect 110 as I've ever seen. Nice job. I’m happy you like it. Thanks for the compliment...

I own a discontinued Buck 560, which is basically a ti-handled Buck 110. But it still pinnes and doesn't have screw construction.
I like it much better than the regular 110.

Wow, I'm jealous. I didn't know about that model.

Re: If buck 110 had Ti scales and screw construction

Now I might be tempted to try a BUCK model 110 with a G-10 handle and some high tech supersteel blade. But other than that I don't know what that old model has that Spyderco hasn't already outdone. Again I'm even surprised that the BUCK 110 model with the Ion Fusion blade didn't take off :confused:...

Re: If buck 110 had Ti scales and screw construction

Welcome to the Forum! Thank you for sharing your ideas! Nice graphics. The top two images with the traditional bolsters and scales are the best. Interesting idea you have, but for me it's a bit too modern for a good, old-fashion lockback. I'm more of a traditionalist and like the Buck 110 Folding H...

Re: If buck 110 had Ti scales and screw construction

I've had a few BUCK model 110 folders over the years. But the one I had that I truly would like to have back was that specially made version back in the late 90s that had the "Ion Fusion" coating that you only had to sharpen on one side. They also did their fixed blade model 119 that way ...

Re: If buck 110 had Ti scales and screw construction

Actually, I’m kind of the same as you on the lock and it’s the reason I don’t have any 110 in my possession. I thought of getting it many times just for the sake of filling my childhood dream but I know I’m not going to use it so I leave it alone. I prefer thumb hole but don’t mind thumb stud that m...

If buck 110 had Ti scales and screw construction

Hello everyone, I’m very new here and just want some opinions on my work. I’m not a knife maker and this is just my hobby. Hope you like it. I wanted a Buck 110 (and the 186 with titanium handle) when I was a teenager back in 80’s but I didn’t have one as I don’t have much money back then. Now I cou...

Jus to say Hello, share a story of my first Spyderco knife, and ask for suggestion.

Hello from Bangkok, Thailand. I’m very new here and would like to share my story of my first Spyderco Knife, and ask for some suggestion. I do some gardening around my house regularly and I was looking for folder that I can operate one handed for quite a while. All I folder I own at that time (3 SAK...
