Editor's Choice
The Buck 110 Folding Hunter was introduced in 1963 by Al Buck in order to meet demand for a folding hunting knife that would lock open and provide the same strength as a fixed blade knife.
The Buck 110 quickly became the hottest knife in the hunting knife industry.
Buck knives have sold millions of Buck 110 Folding Hunters.
So many in fact, that the Buck 110 has become an icon and the standard by which all other folding knives are measured.
The Buck 110 is our Editor's Choice for the Best Deer Hunting Knife for the money.
Not because the Buck 110 is inexpensive, but because it is the last hunting knife that you will need to buy and you can hand it down to future generations.
Buck 110 Quality
The quality of the Buck 110 Folding Hunter is legendary.

The handle is made from Buck's Dymondwood with brass bolsters.
The blade is made from 42OHC steel, known for it's edge holding ability, and the crescent tip makes it a perfect knife for detail work.

Buck 110 Design and Functionality
There is little doubt that the design of the Buck 110 took the deer hunting knife world by storm back in 1963.
The buck 110 was designed for strength and stability in a folding knife.
The 110 was the first deer hunting knife that I ever owned and it just feels perfect in your hand.
