This is the same knife your grandfather carried, still made right here in the USA — with beautifully engraved scrollwork on the brass bolsters that his did not have.
The Buck 110 Folding Hunter has been a staple in pockets around the world for 60 years. Personalize one and it becomes a true heirloom to hand down.
Engraving options
Brass bolsters
Polished scrollwork that is almost indistinguishable from hand engraving, for a fraction of the cost. Available on one or both sides. You can also replace one of the bolster scrolls with a monogram or initials inlaid with scrollwork.
Blade
Engraved on one or both sides with a name or short text. The process does not affect the surface quality of the knife, and the engraved portion comes out deep black.
Handle
The ebony handles have a large area that can be engraved with a name or text. Because both the engraving and the wood are dark, this is a subtle option. If you want it to stand out, pair the engraving with color inlay using acrylic paints for high contrast.
About the 110 Folding Hunter
A classic and traditional favorite. Brass bolsters with genuine Crelicam™ ebony handle scales and a razor sharp clip point 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) 420HC stainless steel blade. Securely locks open with a lock back design and folds down to 4 7/8" (12.4 cm) closed. Comes with a genuine black leather sheath for belt carry (sheath imported). Designed for hunting, but perfect for any task requiring a large folding knife.
Please note: when handles are made from natural products, you will find nature's own "brandmarks." In most cases these are not flaws but nature's own design. Colors and markings vary from handle to handle, so each one has its own personality.
A little history
Buck's Folding Hunter was created in 1963 when Al Buck decided outdoorsmen needed a sturdy locking blade knife without carrying a long fixed blade. After a series of refinements the Model 110 was unveiled, and within six months it was the hottest knife in the industry.
Common questions
Where on the knife can you engrave?
Three places, and you can combine them: the brass bolsters (scrollwork, one or both sides), the blade (name or short text, one or both sides), and the ebony handle (name or text). The bolster scrollwork is what most people are after.
Does engraving hurt the blade?
No. The process does not affect the surface quality of the knife. The engraved area comes out deep black against the polished steel.
Will handle engraving show up on dark wood?
It is subtle by nature — dark marking on dark ebony. If you want it to read clearly from across a room, add the color inlay option with acrylic paints.
Can I send in a Buck 110 I already own?
Get in touch before you ship anything and we will tell you what we can do with the knife you have.
Is this a good retirement or groomsman gift?
It is one of our most requested. A USA-made classic with a name and a date on it tends to outlive the occasion by about fifty years.
