SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Buck 110 Automatic Knife Elite is where American tradition meets modern performance. Few knives carry the legacy and respect of the Buck 110 Folding Hunter, introduced in 1964 by Al Buck. At the time, folding knives were considered unreliable, unable to handle the heavy tasks of outdoor life. The 110 changed that forever with its innovative lockback design, giving users the strength of a fixed blade in a folding form. It quickly became a trusted companion for hunters, tradesmen, and knife enthusiasts worldwide, earning its place as one of the most iconic knives in history. Now, the 110 Automatic Elite Knife takes that legacy forward with premium materials and automatic deployment, delivering a knife that’s every bit as classic as it is cutting-edge.
At the core of this knife is a 3.75-inch clip-point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, one of the most advanced steels available today. Its combination of toughness, edge retention, and superior corrosion resistance makes it ideal for both daily use and demanding fieldwork. With MagnaCut, the blade keeps its razor-sharp edge far longer than conventional steels, ensuring it’s always ready when you are. The satin finish enhances its clean, professional look while reinforcing the Buck tradition of quality craftsmanship.
Deployment is fast, smooth, and authoritative thanks to its push-button automatic action. A recessed firing button allows for confident one-handed operation, while the proven lockback mechanism ensures the blade stays secure during use with no compromise in stability. It’s the same mechanism that made the original 110 famous, now paired with the speed and convenience of modern automatic design.
The handle construction blends rugged reliability with timeless style. Black G-10 handle scales provide a sure grip in any environment, resisting swelling, cracking, and wear even under harsh conditions. Complemented by brushed nickel silver bolsters, the knife retains its traditional silhouette while embracing materials built for today’s demands. The 110 Auto Elite also comes with a premium black leather sheath, offering a secure and comfortable way to carry it, whether you’re in the field or using it as part of your everyday carry.
Proudly made in the USA, the Buck 110 Automatic Elite Knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a piece of American history reimagined for the modern era. Whether you’re a long-time collector, an outdoorsman, or someone who simply values the best in performance and craftsmanship, this knife delivers on every front.
