Buck 110

[Mr.Glock]

Recently bought a couple knives from @x-ray gun. Specifically the Buck 110. Have been enjoying it, thinking of the memories I have while carrying one on my belt all through school from about 6th grade on! The many uses it helped with on the Farm, Hunting and doing some ornery **** as a kid!

Now as I sit and handle it after a lot of years not owning one, it is so difficult to comprehend that Young Men today are not allowed to carry such a knife to school. Why have we lost rights that we had and our kids and grandkids will never have?

Same school same knife.....ah the memories

It's sad brother. I too carried such a knife. Mine was an American made Old Timer that my dad gave me when I was about 12. I still have it, along with an Old Timer Stockman and fixed blade (Deerslayer) but they all three look like hell.

We also used to have a shotgun or .22 rifle in our vehicles. A lot of times after school, we would go squirrel or quail hunting, and just head to the woods as soon as school let out.

Many, many times the principal or superintendent would also have a .22 or shotgun in their cars as well. Hell, I've hunted and fished with my high school principal on a number of occasions.

Yes, it's sad that these boys and young men have to grow up in such a sissified country as the good ol' U, S of A is swiftly becoming.

Fun story and then a comparison of today versus a few generations back.

Maybe 7 years ago Mr. Buck himself, probably a son or grandson, came to speak at our church for a men’s fundraising benefit. My BIL won a new buck knife that Mr. buck signed for him. They are a great family.

So my wife’s grandpa got his first Winchester 94 30-30 when he was 12 or 13 years old. Something terrible has been happening in our culture and I blame the internet and especially social media. I’d gladly give up all the modern conveniences to go back to a simpler time

I've got a 110 and and it's little brother the Buck 112 that I used to carry to work quite a bit......there's a lot of things we used to do that would cause alarm in today's world.

Carrying guns in a rack like that was a horrible idea even back in those days. My paternal Grandfather had an LC Smith shotgun stolen out of his truck gun rack in the mid 1970’s, and his truck was parked in his driveway in very rural Melrose, Texas.

I have owned a bunch of knives even a bunch of Bucks, but I had never owned a 110 until a couple years ago.

What happened? Libturd, commie, Dumbasscraps is what happened.

Destruction of the family unit.
Socialism of schools
Loss of morals, no respect for others, no respect for life.

In 7th grade wood shop, my shop project was a rifle stock. Carried the 1917 mil-surp everyday, to fit stock.
In High School, parking full of pickups, with rifle and or shotgun hanging in gun rack in back window.
Today, I wouldn't dare attempt to pick up grandson at school, with any firearm visible. Or park at a store with a gun rack visible.

The one thing that does happen, I show up, going to my pasture or Cowboy Action shoot, grandson runs to truck, grabs his gun belt and pair of Single Sixes. Strangest thing, nobody has been shot.

Dang dude, what happened??? Looks like they had been in boating accident for some time???

For some strange reason, it got left behind when I left home and got married. I reclaimed it when dad passed in 2018. In the 32 years from when I left home to when he died, he was using it as his outdoor tool and kept it in a basket he had mounted on his 4 wheeler/ATV that he used (and kept) outside. So yeah, the elements damn near ruined it. One of these days, I'll clean it up. It just sits in a drawer nowadays and never gets used.

The fixed blade is just hard use patina and the 3 blade Stockman is from about 10 years of daily carry and hard use.
