Window shopping for a Buck 110, seems they are about $60 across the board except Wally World. They want $35, but it has to be shipped to you so there is no looking at it first hand prior. What are your thoughts???

If $$$$ is the concern, get one of the synthetic handle version of the 110 I've had several of those in the 1st generation Bucklite version and the Selector, and they hold up just fine. Easier to tote too. Same blade and configuration as the 110 brass framed original

I do know what they look like, just wondering if Walmart was selling counterfeit.

Bought one from Walmart a couple of years ago. Hard to tell it from my other 2, which are so old I do not remember where I got them.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

Pretty sure if WalMart was selling counterfeit Buck's that the Buck Knife Company would sue the chit out of them. Order one from the Buck Custom Knife Shop to your spec's and have something authentic and unique.

I order 3 @ $35 a piece. Now I will have a couple spares...maybe birthday presents or trading material. Seems like I found the deal of the day!

I like the synthetic 110 slim hunters.
Weigh very little. ~$30-35 according to model.

Walmart has a really crappy website. They can’t decide if they are Walmart or Amazon. Many of the products are actually third party retailers.

I've got both a 110 and a 112 Slim Select. Solid EDC knife, rides deep in the pocket, holds an edge, and made in the USA.

Order one from the custom shop in S30V.
It is still a bargain at about a $100 with a much better blade steel.

One for myself and one for my nephew who just got his Fire Dept placement. Was already EMT and ambulance. Kid works his ass off.

Buck does a great job on those Custom Shop knives.

The ones directly from Walmart are legit. Of note, Buck switched BACK to REAL ebony, a few years back. No more of the “laminated wood”.
If you don’t like ‘em, give them as gifts. The only difference USED to be the sheath. Walmart had a nylon, others had leather. Don’t know if that’s the case, these days.
