Recommendation? Alternate ways to carry a Buck 110?

Quick draw sheath for Buck 110. Blade is opened half way when inserted into sheath. Pics are easier for explaining.

The blade (which when in the sheath is slightly open) catches the rivet (the leather keeps it from hitting the metal) and opens when drawn.

Kydex neck sheath it can go under your clothes and you remain a fashionista. (Not a buck but idea is the same)

I can, I just want to find a better way to carry it. I, being 17, tend to put a lot of effort into choosing my clothes and outfits, trying to be fashion-conscious and all that. The bulky sheath it comes with certainly isn't the most stylish thing, particularly when paired with the more trendy, "fitted" clothing styles. Doing yard work or clearing trails in the woods, the leather sheath is perfect. Going out with friends with a big leather sheath hanging off my belt, not quite! Haha

I think the leather sheath on your belt would show that your not just another millennial, that black leather Buck sheath is a symbol and is worn by those who " know ".

Now as far as other ways to carry it, you could try a pocket Holster style sheath for it or you could try their nylon sheath which is less bulky and can be worn horizontally.

With the right pockets you could also just stand it up next to your wallet.
 
There’s an S90V 110 on the other end of the leather tether. My rig doesn’t ride that far forward. I just got dressed for the movie and seized the opportunity.

I carried a 110 in a leather belt sheath for 4 decades. Wore out lots of them over the years.

The pocket clip as pictured below is now my preferred way to carry a 110.

My second favorite way to carry a 110 is in a clip on leather sheath as pictured below.

The picture below shows the clip on sheath best. I left the 110 sticking up more in this picture just to show the knife. It sits deeper in the sheath as shown in the picture above.

I got mine at 13. I carried it covertly until I turned 18, then on to my belt and never looked back.

I took a standard leather sheath cut the strap off, made cuts so it could be worn horizontal on the belt. This kept it from hanging below the smock I had to wear for work.

Lots of time I would put it in my back pocket in the sheath. Then put it on my belt when I could.

One time in 30 plus years of daily carry I had a cop take my 110 from me during a traffic stop, I had my vehicle completely searched. Then he gave me my knife back. When he asked me why I had it I said it was mostly for fishing. The stickers on my Jeep backed up my story.

For me the 110 on my hip was a line in the Sand. Before I was graciously allowed by my government to carry a gun. The 110 was and still is the least armed I am willing to go about my business. It is the land of the free after all. I have uncle's and grandfather's that fought for freedom, it would be an insult to them to allow my rights to be eroded.

Careful though, those quick draw sheaths are a felony in some places. Know your laws, live within them, but don't give away your rights.

Of course I'm not a lawyer, I can only relate my story. Make your own decisions, live with the consequences, either way. Be safe.

I have a leather pancake sheath for 110 carry. There are slots cut at either end where your belt threads through, then the knife slips in the sheath. No cover or straps. Blade sits firmly in the sheath with top of handle exposed for an inch or so.
 
Another thought. Ankle carry. There are ankle holsters available for an extra magazine. I bet they'd be perfect for a 110.

Maybe carry a 55 instead of a 110 when a big knife and sheath isn't warranted.
 
I'm about to purchase a 110 and I've yet to discover a horizontal sheath for the Buck 110 that doesn't look like its so thick as to also be uncomfortable.
I've found a vertical version on Youtube (maker is Ost leather) that looks like it might be nice because it at least has a belt loop that is higher than the stock Buck sheath, so would hang lower.
I do have a dangler attachment from JRE that I could maybe add to a stock sheath, but not sure I love that idea.
If there is anyone that makes a horizontal sheath, in something thinner buy as sturdy as a distressed leather Buck sheath, I'd love to take a look at it.
Otherwise, it sounds like its the nylon sheath for me...
 
A couple of guys have already mentioned it but it may be wise to check on your local/state laws. Two people carrying the same knife but in different locations= one legal, one illegal. I know it sounds goofy but common sense went out the window years ago when it comes to some of the laws we have. I'd hate to see anyone get hemmed up when it could've been avoided.
 
I love wearing a 110 or 112 on my belt but it does not look right with any and all outfits. A 55 fits beautifully in dress pants (but is obviously less useful for many chores). As a seventeen year old I hope you are not going where a knife may be needed for self defense. No matter how clean your record a teen with a knife is going to look like a gang member if the knife is used for defense. So a 55 becomes a nice dress knife.

Hey all. I have carried a Buck 110 since I was 13 and have recently (9 months ago) added a pocket clip to one of the bolsters. I very much prefer this as I'm 17 and can't really walk around with a big leather sheath on my belt all the time. The pocket clip I used is the generic one with 3 screws you see on the Loscha 110. I'm always trying to mess around with these things and improve them so I'm just wondering if any of you have had luck using any other means than the belt sheath to carry such a large knife. Do "pocket sheaths" work? What about deep carry pocket clips? Pocket sheaths? Please let me know!

Maybe not your cup of tea, but in my line of work I wear (and wear out) carpenter's jeans. There is usually a thigh pocket on each leg and often the one on the right is a double pocket. I've only had one knife fall out and it wasn't a 110. You might give that a try.

I really like this idea.. Question.. Do they fit in the sheaths after you install these?? Thanks.. John

Yes, and no...
The nylon sheath seems to work best immediately, while the leather sheaths need to be broken in. One reason I put the loop where I did rather than in the middle is because the flap can either be wet molded, wore in, or even trimmed to make it fit. If the loop was in the center there would be no snapping the flap. When I carry one with a loop in a sheath, it's an older black sheath that's been well broken in. I have 2 different open top sheaths I use as well, but for the most part it rides in my pocket.

One of our members posted a photo, can't remember who at the moment but he had someone sew a row of stitching on his jeans pocket an inch or so from the edge so it more or less divided the pocket into two. The smaller pocket held his 110 vertical so it didn't fall over in the pocket and he didn't need a clip either.

A sewing machine would make it fast and easy but I bet you could hand stitch it in just a few minutes if we could find the picture.

I've always thought this was a great idea, but I have never tried it. It could also be done in the front pocket.
