The Buck 110 Folding Hunter Crossbar Elite Knife takes one of the most recognizable names in American knife history and gives it a modern performance upgrade. Built around the legendary Model 110 pattern, this version combines rich Macassar ebony, sleek aluminum bolsters, MagnaCut steel, and a deep-carry pocket clip for a traditional folding hunter with contemporary EDC capability.
The 3.75-inch clip point blade is made from premium MagnaCut stainless steel and measures 0.120 inches thick. Known for its well-rounded performance, MagnaCut offers an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a natural choice for an outdoor-oriented folding knife. The clip point profile provides a strong, versatile cutting edge with a useful point for detailed work, while the polished, classic appearance of the Model 110 keeps the knife firmly rooted in its heritage.
Instead of the traditional back lock found on the original 110, this modern interpretation uses a crossbar locking mechanism. The crossbar lock provides a secure blade lockup while allowing for smooth, convenient operation. Combined with the deep-carry pocket clip, it gives this iconic folding hunter a more modern carry profile without sacrificing the character that made the 110 famous.
The handle pairs genuine Macassar ebony with aluminum bolsters, creating a refined contrast between natural wood grain and modern metal. The rich dark tones of the ebony give the knife a classic outdoorsman aesthetic, while the aluminum bolsters add strength and a clean, contemporary finish. At 4.875 inches closed and weighing just 3.5 ounces, this 110 offers a surprisingly lightweight way to carry a piece of Buck Knives history.
The story of the Folding Hunter dates back to 1963, when Al Buck set out to create a sturdy locking knife for outdoorsmen who wanted the capability of a fixed blade without having to carry one. After a series of refinements, the Model 110 was introduced and quickly became one of the industry's defining folding knives. More than six decades later, the 110 remains a benchmark for dependable American-made knife design.
Made in the USA and backed by Buck's Forever Warranty, this Folding Hunter carries forward a proven legacy while adding modern materials and carry features. It's a classic built to keep working, whether it's riding in your pocket, heading into the field, or becoming part of your collection.
