My step-father recently gave this knife to me. He is in his 60's and told me when he was a kid it went every where with him. It has done menial tasks up to skinning deer.

It know it is a Buck knife from the marking, however don't know anything else about it. I was wondering if anyone on here could tell me more.

What a piece of history, right on brother. I lost my buck 110 when I was younger, never got another one sadly.

I know some folks still use these things religiously for good reason.

the Buck 110 is a very popular knife! The Buck Model 110 has a 3 3/4–inch blade, a high-tension lock and a low-pressure release, the handles are typically wood and the bolsters are made of heavy-gauge brass. Introduced in 1964, the Buck Folding Hunter was one of the first lockback folding knives considered strong enough to do the work of a fixed-blade knife. Its debut revolutionized hunting knives, rapidly becoming one of the most popular knives ever made, with some 15 million Model 110 knives produced since 1964. Before 1981, the specially heat treated stainless steel used was 440C, from 1981 to 1992 it was 425M, and after 1993 Buck has used 420HC stainless steel. Its design is one of the most imitated knife patterns in the world.
 
Nice 110! From the tang stamp it is one of the older production. In the recent years Buck uses a code stamped on either side of the "110" to indicate the year of production. Yours has no marks but it has the 3 line tang stamp.

This was the system from 1972-74

Nice, I have grown very fond of tools with a little history/ sentimental value behind them lately, and that knife has defiantly been sharpened a time or two.
 
Thank you for the information! I'm not sure how I will be using it. I think it may go into the PSK.
 
Wow! Does that bring back memories. My best friend gave me one of those in high school. I carried it all through school and college. Do that today they might declare you a terrorist and send you on a long vacation in Cuba :D

Take good care of it, and it will return the favor.

Great, great blade. My friends dad gave me his old 110 as payment for some dogsitting, a truly amazing blade. I'm actually considering a hike tomorrow in a snowstorm, and my 110 will be at my side. Take good care of it, don't abuse it.
 
Tht's a Buck 110. A firend of mine had one back in the 60's(yes, most of my friends have grey hair and lived theough thr 70's as young adults) and he also served in the 101st Airbooune. Anyways, his CO askes for a knife to cut some rope. So, he whips it out, and opens it(sounds like a switchblade opening) and his CO says "This is legal right?" He replies "Yeah, it's been worked over a few times." Enjoy that knife man.
 
Buck 110 and American classic. One of the most recognized, imitated, and purchased folding knives ever.

Did you get the shetah ofr it as well? Forget sticking it in a PSK put that beauty on your belt.

If you don't have teh sheath you can pick them up for about $10 or $15 shipped from ebay.
 
My dad and brother both have the 110s and I have a 112 (just a wee bit smaller version). The are probably the best knives any of us three own. I would love to see the pile of deer and such in one place that these 3 have field dressed and skinned! Yours has been used and loved well it appears.
