USA -(Ammoland.com)- The timeless 110 Folding Hunter has been transformed into an exciting automatic knife.
The 110 AUTO is powerfully deployed with the push of a button, instantly readying the 420HC blade.
First introduced by Al Buck in 1964, the Model 110 Folding Hunter revolutionized the industry and quickly became a top seller with its breakthrough folding locking system.
As one of the worlds most imitated and easily-recognized knives, the Model 110 continues to serve as proof that one man’s hope and determination can transform into a legacy passed on through generations.
“The 110 was a landmark in the success of Buck Knives,” said CJ Buck, CEO and Chairman of Buck Knives. “We are excited to reinvigorate the 110’s loyal following with this modern classic. The response we are already receiving from it has been overwhelming.”
The 110 Auto resembles the original 110 Folding Hunter with the classic design and famous brass bolster.
The Auto utilizes the lockback style to lock the blade open for safe use and is packed in a leather sheath. MSRP: $200. Made in the USA.

There are several sites that are offering “pre-order” of the 110 Auto for $139.95 with Bucks Warranty. And, just a few minutes ago I got an e-mail from one site that already has them in stock for $139.95. Bucks own web site doesn’t even have them for sale yet….but yes, they are listed there for $200…
I have a Buck 110 and like it since it was only $35.00 with belt sheath. But, it is heavy, uses cheap(but ok) 420HC steel, the wood scales are slippery, and the brass bolsters get stained quickly. I’d never pay more than $60 or $70 for an auto version. I only have one good arm so I have several autos from Benchmade, Spyderco, Brous, and Protech costing less than $200 with much better blade steel, scales, and construction than a Buck, and made in the USA. The Buck 110 is a great “beater” knife and I can get it pretty… Read more »
How difficult would it be to convert one? I bet not so bad.
Gentlemen,
Have any of you checked the prices of other US made auto knives? $200 for a quality auto, made in America, not only keeps Americans working, keeps your dough in the US, and it’s almost a sure thing this knife will serve you as well as the original 110 with the added versatility of one hand opening. Look at the current pricing of a quality conveted 110 and you’ll see the value in this knife being factory made by Buck. Who’s warranty covers those conversions? Can’t wait, getting one soon as possible.
I have a Buck 110 that I purchased in 1975. Have carried and used it everyday since then. If I remember correctly, I paid $21.95 for it. Don’t think I’m likely to pay $200.00 for this newer version just because it opens with the push of a button.
