Folding hunters are good for field dressing and skinning and all around chores. At around 5" closed they may be too big to be comfortable in most pants pockets, but carry nicely in a belt sheath, and i usually have them in backpacks, truck console, etc. One blade or two. New or old. Whatcha got?

Here are a couple of Buck 110's, a clip point and a drop point.

I have a 110 and 112 and prefer the 112 better but both are great knifes.

I have the great Titanium 560, one of the best knives for me in those salt marshes. Unfortunately, the titanium plant that supplied the titanium for the scales burnt down so it is obsolete.

1972 Buck 110......the sheath has been modified over the years. :-)

Bought it when Ray Scott opened the B.A.S.S outdoor store in Montgomery.

I'm a Copperlock fan too.

Nice. Man that old 110 has some stories to tell I bet.

Copperlocks are nice. Good useful size and fits in the pocket too. About the same size as this Queen Mountain Man, 3 5/8 blade also a lockback.

Dem am some PURDEE KNIVES! Bet that they come in rat handy? BLESSED BE!

I got a Buck 112 for my 16th birthday in 1972, been carrying it since. Not that I'm parting with it, but it turns out it was a first production run 112, 3 rivets and the upside-down logo.

I have a bunch, when I see an old beat up one at a flea market I just buy it. The. Lean it up, good to use or trade for something else. I will put some up shortly

Here’s a few

I have a few of them, mostly off name or farm store cheapies like this one I use as an EDC. I do have a Sharp 110 knock off my parents bought me for my 12th birthday, after 45 years it’s earned it’s place safely tucked away in a drawer to be given to my 1st grandson when he’s old enough.

Very Classy pick Jeff. Most everyone Is familiar with a buck 110. My most recent find on top. The Gerber Sportsman. 110 & 112 Buck folders. Don’t forget to nominate somebody to do number seven knife spot light;).

My vintage Case Hunter :^).

Old Buck 112 that has had the blade broken and shortened. A very comfortable Buck 597 that has seen a lot of use and my best of the lot is a Benchmade North Fork.

Oh yeah. I like em. Good stuff guys.

A Queen from the early 50's.

These are two of my favorites, Western 691 trappers.

Here's my folding hunter. I also have a black folding hunter type knife Monkeyball gave me. I put an edge on it but haven't used it yet. This Buck 110 has been used a lot.

Joe

Bucks top and bottom (500 and 503) with a Schrade LB in the middle

Hard to beat a 110 or a 112. I also like the 500 Duke with the drop point blade.

Same size as a 110 basically but way lighter

My folders are Buck 110 and Buck Lite 422

Dad's old Buck 317 trailblazer given to him in 1974 by guys he worked with as a gift when I was born. He wore out the 440A stainless blades and had someone replace them with D2 die steel blades. I took a moose apart with it a couple weeks ago in Alaska.

R

I'll second the good words on the GEC 23 as well. I have the pioneer in the 2 blade version and the beaver tail single liner lock. FANTASTIC knives.

R

My two Buck 110's. The one the left was given to me by my dad on my 17th birthday. The other one was given to me on Father's day last year from my son. I have 3 grandsons, they each receive a Buck 110 with custom sheath on their 12th birthday. Only one has received his so far, the others aren't far behind.

Both drop points, the top is nickel with Buffalo horn and finger grooves, the bottom is brass with bubinga.

Case Mako

Anyone seen a Buck like this?

I don't have much that is not modified a little. >>>---> Ken

This one got it all. wish I could take better pictures. >>>----> Ken

I have a small collection of Buck 110 and 112, plus some other brands.. A 110 is always on my pocket also in the summer with short pants.

Since a post is useless without pics, 2 of mine une is a customised 1994 and the other a David Yellowhorse elk hunter.

Mid 70’s Boker

A few plastic ones. Pardon the fixed blades.

I like these plastic handled Buck Bantams too. The 286 is the biggest, 5" closed, but it's still very light, inexpensive, and just plain works. The green camo one is a 285, which I carried daily for a long time. I just can't keep the dang things, keep losing them.

Schatt & Morgan. 5 1/4 closed. 4" blade. Needs to get bloody.

Wow! You have a good eye for knives Jeff. I have never seen one like that! Very nice:)

I use a Buck 102 and 105 fixed blade for hunting, but his Bucklite folder serves as my utility knife or even carry knife when hiking or as a spare in my backpack when hunting. I see a few guys have them posted above. Got this one years ago when a store was going out of business and picked it up cheap.

Had this 110 Hunter for over fifty years; Dad bought it for me around 1970. Had a new blade installed when the tip broke on a deer pelvis and still have the sheath but it’s unusable. It wore out a few bluejean backplate pockets.

My favorite of all I’ve ever had. Old Timer 250T. Been with me a long time.

Gerber

My Kershaw Wildcat Ridge. Used that on my first deer

Steve

Case Sharktooth

I bought this Puma 265 in the mid 1970s. I believe I bought it at Hornick's Hardware in Johnstown, PA. Back then I carried and used it every day in my construction job. The scales are worn and there are some dings where I had to use it as a hammer in an emergency but it holds an edge and had gutted every deer I've shot since buying it.

I have a Puma just like yours Phil that I bought at LL Bean back in the early 80's as our group was heading to northern Maine for our salmon fishing week. The scales on mine are green, it's an excellent folder.

Another Phil, another Puma. Bought mine also in the ‘70 s. I made black ebony scales to replace the plastic. Mine came without the lanyard ring hole so I drilled and made that also (from shirt hanger wire). Nice knife that holds a super edge.

Schatt & Morgan Mountain Man.

Wow! Some real beauties Gentlemen. Keep them coming.

Found this Buck 110 120th anniversary at WM today for $40 on clearance with a leather sheath! My old 112 above is in Idaho right now for a new drop point blade install.

I have that same Puma phil in the small size and this big fancy Puma 110 size

Buck 110 slimline

Camillus NewYork USA with blade to open up chest cavity.

I've had it since the 90"s but don't know its history. It is a great knife,

TLM

Some of mine.

no Case Buffalo? i'm hunting...

Bear MGC USA My brother and I carried all kinds of knives growing up in the bush hunting and trapping but his favorite for years was a Jet-Aer Corp. G-96 5" folder, not sure what model# it was but I bought this Bear MGC (pictured) because it looks like my brother's old knife and brought back a lot of memories.

Heres a Few

Good to see you guys are still posting up some nice big folding knives. Let's keep it goin.

Here's a Cutco Bullwhip. I hunted this one for quite some time, didn't want to pay the going rates and almost gave up, and then I just got lucky... and new in the box with papers and sheath too.

Buck 659

Jeff, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a Buck 110 drop point! Cool!

Buck offers a 110 drop point in their custom shop.

Joe

My 39 year old 112 is back from the spa with a fresh drop point. This is the same knife from the Sep 21 pic but looking very different.

Boker Tree Brand from the ‘70’s.

My most often carried hunting knife over the years is the Buck 110, but I've carried a Schrade+ LB7 alot and the Coast Cutlery 5" folder (actually a pretty good knife, proven on many moose and much lighter).

A Remington and a Winchester folder I recently got in trade from somedude. I like them!;)

Check this one out folks. Case, made in PA XX Changer. Has a main blade, a filet blade and a saw. It holds the blades very securely when installed. and the leather case a compartment for each blade. Neat knife, I hardly ever take it out though.

Tom

I have 110 and 112 Buck folders.

Great knives guys!

I love locking folding hunters. They are versatile and hard workers.

A Puma folder locking folder has been a longtime companion for me. It has a drop point blade, gutting blade, saw blade, and a corkscrew. Will need to post a photo later because it is in my truck and I am tucked in bed.

I finally got my folding hunters all in one place. L to R, well used Buck 110, Titanium Buck 560, Queen Mountain Man, Benchmade Griptillian. The only thing I have against a Buck 110 is its weight. The other three are light as a feather compared to it.

Nice Queen Mountain Man, Reddogge. I have one of those myself, pictured above.

Thanks Jeff. It came from my late BIL's collection. My sister just gave it to me. I'll need to make a sheath for it though.

Queen made a nice sheath for that size knife and they pop up on ebay sometimes, but you could probably make one even better.

I'll just do my time tested design, very simple. The little leather stone sheath on the right.

for me I like the Buck 112 Ranger with the drop point

the 110 is just a little too much knife and the 501 just a little too smal and not robust

the 112 is stout like the 110 but will fit in the watch pocket of my jeans (no need for a belt sheath though it comes with one)

Nice one.

Boy these pics make me want a buck 110. Been on my knife bucket list for awhile.

That’s a beautiful 112. You rarely see a drop point.

they have the drop point on their site -

kinda gotta look for it

definately for me the 112 a better size than the 110 for EFC

wife got it for me as a Brthday present-

Got this one in 1966 in the U.S.N.

I've used my 110 at work on hardware day, opening hundreds of cabinet handle bags. Just for kicks instead of u knife. Stand up and pull it out of front pocket at lunch and clean fingernails is a good conversation starter.

That was a knife my father got in the 50's. It is a Marine Corp knife. Says US Marine Corp on other side.

mine says US on side

think late 50's early 60's

my first knife

I really like this light folder made by Gerber. It’s a bolt lock designed by Blackie Collins. And I cut myself while opening it for a picture. Scary sharp!;)

Here are two perineal favorites: a Buck clone by Frontier and then an Imperial.

Here is a couple of my new ones?

I recently uncovered this one in one of my boxes. It’s a Moore Maker (made by Queen) that I bought years ago. Lance

I have an elcheepo Western from Walmart that I have carried for a dozen years. Has a gut hook that I like. Crazy good steel and will hold an edge through several deer

Geeze Don, be careful.

Nice knives everyone. I enjoy looking at all of them.

Always nice to see more trappers, Harry has a nice batch of them huddled together there.

I like that Queen/Moore Maker Lance, looks like a 'Mountain Man' model just like that zebrawood one Reddogge posted above.

Just a flesh wound Jeff. Didn’t even need a band aid;)

That's good Don.

I recently got a Buck 110 from the early 80's.

Here's a few: Buck 112 auto Uncle Henry Olsen Remington

opps, forgot the Buck 110 in the middle.

Nice selection there Tim.

Thanks Don. I like the Remington but it doesn't lock open.

Here is one of my. Olsen knife, made in Howard City, Michigan.

I received this Mini Crooked river as a retirement gift from my brother so this will be the one I carry EDC.

This is my favorite, but I don’t carry it much anymore.

I was going through my knives today fixing, polishing, and sharpening and figured I'd post a few more big folding hunters.

Here's a Queen Mountain Man and Folding Hunter with bone handles.

This is a Queen folding hunter made between '45 - '55. It has the match strike nail nick.

Buck Alpha Folder. Not as handsome, but built like a tank.

Keep em coming!

Buck 110 full auto.

Relatively cheap Gerber SLG 3.5 which resides in my bathroom drawer to open stuff. I guess you could gut a deer with it.

That’s a lot of nice folders, guys

Here's my Custom Buck 110, which I ordered from the factory with Elk Horn grips, and S30V steel. It's my everyday carry, most of the time. I always drill a hole in the Buck 110's, for a leather string. I front pocket carry a big folder, with the leather hanging out of my pocket for fast access. I have been carrying that way for over 50 years.

Great thread...have a 112 I have carried since 1973. I have 8 bucks in all, but not sure how to post the pictures....

Well, since it's show and tell, here's several folding hunters, etc. which I have carried and used extensively over the years. I put the Case 3 bladed stockman in there, because it's field dressed a lot of deer over the years. I have split a lot of ribcages with just the stockman, using the sheep's foot blade on that knife.

But the big folders have been the workhorses most of the time. The Case stockman is about 50 years old, and I bought it new. When I was a young man, I relied on a knife a lot in my work for several years and I would carry the stockman and a big folder usually a Buck, most of the time. But pictured are folders purchased and used in the last 20 to 30 years, as the old folding hunters I relied on back in the day, got used up and or destroyed from hard use, and I don't have them, anymore.

The fourth knife down for the top, is an AG Russell Texas Ranger Commemorative from several years back. That has been one tough knife and has received a lot of abuse and still keeps coming back for more. I wish I had bought two or three of them, as you can't get them anymore.

Knife #2 and #3 are also Texas Ranger AG Russell's, and have been very good knives. They are big and robust, and the blade can take a lot of punishment.

The two on the bottom are both Bob Dozier's, and both have had their blades broken and had to be re-shaped. They are both still good knives, though.

Knives #4 and #5 up from the bottom are Benchmades, and I have used them a lot. They are very good knives.

CORRECTION: The bottom knife is not a Dozier, it's a Benchmade, my bad.

Sorry, for the multiple posts, I guess I got on a roll. (:

Camillus #7 Cam-Lok

Those are some beautiful knives guys. I’ve found myself drawn lately to more modern one-hand opening, pocket clip style’s especially for work. A trio of Civivi’s - Elementum, Pintail, and Praxis.
