Bucks are fine blades. Treat it well and it will take care of you. That 110 can do just about anything from dressing fish and animals to self defense. I chose a gerber gator over the buck 110 only because I prefer the handle contour and bead blasted blade.
My first Buck 110!
I've been eyeing the Buck 110, for many months now. My first knife I ever had, was a fairly decent buck 110 knockoff, I still have it, and it takes a decent edge. I Purchased the Buck 110 today, after weeks of saving change. I counted it up today, and realised I had enough! My mother asked me if I wanted to go to wal-mart, to go get a new mop with her (Don't worry, I made sure its US made. 
). I of course said yes. Afterwhich I asked if we could go to Gander mountain, to look around. I eyed the knife I have been dreaming of for months. I had the clerk take it out of the glass, I purchased it, than away we drove. I have not fully tested this knife to my outdoors standars yet, but have tried some basic things with it, such as carving, and splitting wood.
On first enspection I liked the buck 110. A very large folder (A preference of mine.) And a very heavy knife folded up. I opened the blade, the lock hit loudly into place, making the loud "Thud" of Lockback knives. This knife is a very heavy folder. I like the Sheath that came with the knife, but intend to make a more tradional, handmade knife sheath for it. Most stories I hear about this knife, are about fathers, giving their sons theese knives over 30 years ago.

Hehe, as you said I live in Newyork.... I'ts a bit to big to carry to school. XD I usually don't have one there, but when I do (Usually plan to go fishing afterschool, a huge trout river a 5 minute walk away, I stash my poles under a bridge in the I-beams.) I usually have my little 2" folding case. Its a sturdy knife, I plan to never loose it.
As you know, I have a very large collection of knives. One of the first knives I ever bought was a Buck 110. It got lost or stolen along the way so I bought another one. It, too, got lost or stolen. So I bought a third one. Of all of my knives (over 70) I use my Buck 110 more than all the others combined. I like the way it fits at my side, I like how sturdy it is in the open position (no wobbling like other folding knives can sometimes do), it feels good in my hand, it's easy to sharpen, and it holds an edge for a very long time. You made a very good investment. I believe that the 110 is still made in the USA. Congratuations.I've been eyeing the Buck 110, for many months now.
