Hey everyone!

I really love the Buck 112 and 110, but I don't like carrying anything on my belt. I don't mind the weight, so I'd like to carry these knives in my pocket. Does anyone have any solutions for a pocket clip or know of a knife similar to these with a pocket clip? I tried the SOG fielder...it was awful!
 
Depending on your budget you could get the Buck 110 Lochsa that has a pocket clip and thumbstuds but will run you around $200.
 
Discontinued Benchmade Hard Tail with d2 will run you about $150-200 as well.

This. I've got a Mackinac Hunter, one of my all time favorite folders. Yes, it's very heavy for its size, but that's what you get when you buy an all-steel knife with a couple delrin scales slapped on.

Thinking of getting custom scales for mine, but I don't know from where.

Forgot all about those 2... Never what first comes to mind when i think of CS, and CS is never the first company to mind when i think of traditional styled folders; Great options!
 
Here is a Buck 110 that I recently added a pocket clip to.
I will replace the socket head screws with button head screws to get a more sleek look.
The knife is always with me now because of the pocket clip…even when I'm wearing pants with no belt.
A quick little drill and tap and I have a great carry for a Buck 110.









 
Good looking horn 110 and your pocket clip installation looks fine as is.

DIY: Minimum requirements? Drill press, drill bit, tap for screw size target and ready made clip is my guess. Or did you make the clip yourself or freehand the holes in the brass without a drill press? Cost = $. Where you can go wrong: broken drill bit, broken tap, knife spins in drill press shoots free thru window hits wife's beloved cat killing it you are sent down road with your walking papers belongings in pillow case....

Someone else takes your Buck knife and installs the clip: Cost = $. Where can you go wrong: Craftsman puts pocket clip screws clean thru knife making it impossible to open knife but it is easy to carry.

BTW my 110 fits nicely into my jean's watch pocket with only about 1/4" or less visible. Another carry option.

I hope Buck moves forward with the Loscha, and dramatically lowers the price. While they're at it, they should reduce the thickness by a mm or so.

I've been carrying this old Schrade 6OT for a while.

One of the things it's convinced me (other than the fact that I like the shape and feel of the 110 better) is that the weight savings of the barehead design and the Delrin scales make this style of knife pocket carryable without a clip.

So bring out the Loscha with removable clips and get the price down, down, down.

I have less than $3.00 in the ready made belt clip and 2-56 screws.
I still use the same Atlas drill press I started using in the late 1960s, so no cost there. The belt on it has frayed over the last 45 years, but I still haven't replaced it yet. :)
I did buy a #50 HS drill for $1.30 and a 2-56 bottoming tap for $5.32, but I plan on adding clips to more of my 110s in the future.
I doubt I'll ever go back to a belt sheath for my 110. I like this that much!
 
Case mid folding hunter. They have models with and without the pocket clip and a lot of different scale options. I think they run around 60ish bucks.

There is also the case trapperlock. You can get that one in cv, not sure about the hunter.

If you listen with the right kind of ears and the background noise subsides for a moment you can hear a penny squeak all the way from Florida as it is being pinched! And I thought I was losing my hearing. Well done. Bravo. :thumbup:
 
Cold Steel Code 4 clip point might be a reasonable modern facsimile of the 110, albeit a tad smaller. Not as close as the Lone Star or Mackinac, but those are discontinued and may be harder to find.

A guy on this forum does very nice work and I believe he makes them for that model. His name is spketch (sketchen scales).

The term "bareheaded" is new to me, even though I've been hanging out here a while. So what makes your Schrade bareheaded is that it lacks a bolster on one end? While then 110 and 112, which are similar designs, have a bolster "capping" both ends?

The Zieg - correct, bareheaded denotes the lack of an end bolster. It's an old knife term not heard much with newer knives, but very common in use with old traditional knives.

Is the term ever used with fixed blades or is it reserved for folders only?
