Buck 110 Custom Rebuild Project

Skullworks · 07-15-2009, 08:51 AM

Okay. I picked up a worn out 110...cheap...and you can see why!

Here is the project knife.

I posted a question about how hard was it to take apart. This one was easy as could be. Maybe because of the condition...no idea. A hammer, vise and a punch and it's apart. Had to sand the heads off the handle pins to get them loose. The lock up was a little loose so that might be a problem.

I plan on using a twist damascus blade replacement and I'm not sure about the scales yet. I'm think maybe some mammoth tooth.
I'll up date this as I progress!

Skull, looking good so far. Yes generally they are fairly simple to dsassemble with a hammer and punch and plenty of force

Skullworks · 07-27-2009, 07:43 AM

Well I got it cleaned up a bit. The blades is in...damascus twist pattern in 1095 $ 15N20 nickel carbon. I think I'm going with these scales which are a wicked fire like mammoth tooth.

muskrat man · 07-28-2009, 04:49 PM

looking good, awsome tooth too

I got the blade from Grand Leavitt of snakeriver knife co on ebay. Great guy with some awesome blades.

seaplane · 05-01-2010, 09:13 PM

I've been looking at possibly trying to do this . I am looking forward to seeing the finnished knife and getting your opinions on re-assembling the 110. It would be great if you could give your opinion on how well the blade fit and what tweaks you had to do to it to get a good fit up!

BSharp · 05-04-2010, 11:39 AM

Looks like it's going to be pretty cool. Can't wait to see the finished version.

williamsmith · 06-01-2010, 07:29 AM

its really Amazing and sounds good to me a lot.

maxcutter03 · 06-09-2010, 11:22 AM

Dirk_McStabbins · 07-30-2010, 06:30 AM

Should be a very nice knife.

maxcutter03 · 08-15-2010, 09:50 PM

Skullworks · 08-29-2010, 06:46 PM

Alright. I got jiggy with it today!

Getting the pins compressed and not getting the blade too tight was a bit of a trial and error. Shaped the scales roughly...still a little fine fitting to be done. Gonna do just epoxy to hold the scales on. A little relief in the liner to allow for the spring pivot pin. Gonna epoxy it up and finish her up.

Skullworks · 08-30-2010, 05:05 AM

Dirk_McStabbins · 08-30-2010, 08:12 AM

Looking good

Skullworks · 08-30-2010, 06:45 PM

Okay guys! You hound me and then no response???

Skullworks · 09-04-2010, 04:42 PM

Finished!

My final thoughts:

Don't buy a cheap worn out 110 for the project. The locking spring will be worn out and you'll have to buy several to find a good one. Go ahead and buy a better starting knife.
Make sure to keep the spacer/washer from the old blade that goes in the pivot hole of the blade.
Do as much of your finishing and fitting before you reassemble the knife. It saves on getting lots of grit in the action from sanding.
Tough for me to get the correct compression on the pins to make everything tight and fit nice without making the action tough to work. Lots of WD40 helps loosen it up.

Give it a try...sure does create a unique knife!

forgedintime · 09-04-2010, 07:35 PM

Beautiful finished knife. I bet it will cut a helluva lot better then the original blade too. Nice work!

Maine1 · 09-04-2010, 11:24 PM

Nice work! looks great.
