Indians For Guns

Is there any market in Delhi, where I can get original Buck 110 folding knife? I ordered it from Junglee.com using Cart2India, with original MSRP of 3900, they charged 3705 after discount. But later on some kind of greed came into their mind, and they called me that the price of that knife was changed to 5000. So I had to cancel the order

Thanks. I know that. I already purchased one 3 years ago, which I gifted to my wife. Now I want one for myself. After complaining and posting a bad feedback for Cart2India, they called me and will deliver it to me between 7th to 12th, for 3900 on cash on delivery. If I would have made the payment in advance, I would have got it for 3705.

I suppose it would be difficult to buy this classic off the shelf anywhere in India.

Here's mine. Bought in Japan!

Wow. looks like I purchased it at right time. Now its cost is 5200

Dude, just like any other folding, knife, does the lock of this knife gets gammed, because of rust or moisture? Does the lock reqire regular implement for oil in order to keep the lock smooth? I own a buck 270 ranger, which i used for fruits, after couple of months, it got tight and had to apply lot of force to open it

Thanks for the information dude, Buck 110 has lifetime warranty, so i thought that it will not allow moisture to enter inside the blade mechanism

Do you often oil your knife? Is it easy to oil buck 110?

I have had a 110 for many many years, and for a couple decades it was pretty much the only hunting knife I used (standard disclaimer comparing hunting regulations in the US to those of India). They are fine knives and should you desire an outdoor sporting knife it will serve you admirably.

About the only critique I could say is they carry somewhat heavy in your pocket, but that is a personal preference and I never found it to be a big annoyance or anything. The belt sheath makes it a non-issue and also prevents the need to put dirty hands in your pocket when in the middle of an activity you need your knife.

I do not usually wear a belt, I got a pouch that has a metal clip and was originally made for carrying Leatherman pliers, it works great.

I would apply a drop or two of oil on occasion but never felt that it absolutely needed it. With mine, there are only two items- the brass handle would tarnish so to keep it nice and shiny it needs to get some polishing every once in a while, and if you carry it in your pocket lint can collect in the locking notch on the blade. It never prevented it from locking, but you wouldn't get that sharp click when it locked open, so you have to clean it out with a paper clip. No big deal at all but I am just mentioning it.

Anyway, I am sure you will be just as happy with yours as I am.

Thank you Mark, I like the fact about 110, that its big and heavy. Heavier the knife is, more tough and durable it is. I recently purchased a recon 1, which is big, heavy, which I like it.

The dealer has taken time, but I am expecting my knife by next week. Although I've read so any positive reviews about this knife. It is indeed an American legand, and am excited to get my hands on it.

Hi Brihaji

Isn't using coconut oil clog up the mechanism further?

Would you advise using WD40 periodically?

Pls throw some more light. ..


Hi maverick786us. . That's a very beautiful knife u got..!!

Finally I got my Buck 110, indeed it is an amazing knife. Today I first time used it for cutting peach and it cuts it like butter. Now my first question. Its blade is stainles steel, not a crabon steel. So does the blade too needs implementation of oil?
