They were just hunting knives before they became American icons. Introduced decades ago, this is still one of the best sellers. With the launch of the 110 in 1964, Buck Knives quickly became the most well-known knife brand in the world. This offers a functionality that was way ahead of its time, yet still performs without complaint today. Some designs are meant to last, and this Folding Hunter has withstood the test of time. Any hunter out there knows the Buck 110, and most likely has owned one for many years.
420HC STEEL - This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add Buck's exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance Buck hardens the blade to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.
Clip Point Blade - The crescent tip makes the blade thinner with a sharper point. This shape provides good control for detail work and cutting in tight places. It is also well suited for intentional punctures like new holes in your belt, etc. While the point of the blade is effective for detail work, it's not as strong as the thicker points on drop points and skinners.
