BUCK 110 PRO & 110 LT
The Buck 110 family got a lot bigger this year: the sturdy 110 Pro and the light-weight 110 LT. Two knives that are very similar to its legendary family member. Very, but not completely… BUCK 110 PRO & 110 LT
As its name already suggests the Pro is made for the professional user. The blade was upgraded and enhanced with CPM S30V steel. Strong, stainless and retains its sharpness well. The handle also changed. Messing and wood made way for nickel silver and G10. Sustainable and can handle its own. Exactly what you are looking for when you use a pocket knife intensively.

The 110 LT is standing on the other side of the spectrum. No anabolic shot but a strict diet. The 420HC steel remained, the handle got a complete metamorphosis. Brass and wood stepped aside and made room for black nylon. Incredibly light material making the LT weigh half as much as its predecessor. The classics enhanced with a new wardrobe, made for everyday carry.
There is no other way to say it: Buck has introduced two amazing knives. Two knives definitely worthy of the name 110. The saga continues!
You find yourself in the middle of the woods or on top of a mountain and accidentally hit a rock with your knife. Bummer! That frayed edge does hurt a little. Mentally speaking of course. We will tell you how to end up with a razor-sharp knife once again. HOW DO YOU SHARPEN A KNIFE IN THE FIELD
POCKET SHARPENING STONE The most obvious choice is a small pocket sharpening stone. This Skerper Arkansas Pocket stone for instance. It weighs next to nothing and hardly takes up any room. It does, however, take some practice to determine the right angle.
PULL-THROUGH SHARPENER An incredibly simple option is the Lansky Blade Medic. Pull your knife through the slot and it will be sharpened. The best sharpening results out there? Not exactly. But it sharpens your knife, it can’t go wrong and you can quickly carry on with your life. That is definitely worth something.
HYBRID SHARPENING OPTION What if you want to end up with razor-sharp knives, but could use some help finding the right angle? Simply use the Work Sharp Guided Pack Sharpener. Two sharpening phases that can even handle rock-solid knives, and offer subtle guidance to make sure that you will always sharpen using the right angle.
