Buck 110 Auto Elite Folding Knife

I get paid good money to write full articles but on this one I could sum it up with my youngest daughter’s comments when I opened the box and showed her the new Buck 110 Auto Elite k#nife I’d just received. “Wow, that knife is sweet daddy!” Kinda my feelings and I’m sure will be yours once you’ve handled it.


In product reviews I’m supposed to point out the good and the bad features. So far after handling it for two days and sleeping with it last night I can only point out good features. It has the stout, heavy feel of the original 110 and comes with a stoutly built leather sheath that you’ve grown accustomed to receiving with a Buck knife.


One thing different that you’ll notice right away as to compared to the old 110, on the 110 Auto they’ve used black G10 for the handle with a rough surface which aids in gripping in wet conditions (I doused it in water to test). Secondly, instead of the brass colored bolsters this one has nickel silver bolsters which I think looks nice with the black handle. I think it makes for a nice-looking knife.


The blade is made out of advanced steel, S30V which contains carbon as well as high amounts of Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium which combines to aid in good edge retention, high ductility combined with corrosion resistance. It is double tempered to reach a Rockwell hardness of Rc59.5-61. Buck cautions on their website that it is extremely difficult to sharpen but I’m going to be totally surprised if I can’t sharpen mine on my Smith’s Fine Diamond stone. We’ll see.


Above I said I couldn’t find a fault with it, I guess being honest though the only thing that worries me about carrying it, which is something I fear with all auto knives is that it may get hit and open in my pocket. (Refer to a previous weeks article covering Stockman knives and cutting bull calves. ). But, the thing that makes me comfortable about carrying this one is that it comes with a sheath. That will protect me. Plus, even if I got hit hard enough to open it, it’d still stay shut due to being in the sheath. As we close, check out the 110 Auto Elite. I think you’ll like it. And as normal we’ll close with the Specs and a touch of restrictions.
