Buck 110 and Nicks Handmade Boots - New Collaboration.

Someone in the Video has a pair of slip on Nicks boots..I'll check it out because lacing up a regular boot is difficult..I haven't touched my left big toe since 1973.

This is a legitimate collaboration with Nick's Boots. Danny Peretti is building and modifying our current 110 to resemble a mid-late 60's 110. He is also sharpening them using the original technique.

Are the pictures accurate on Nick's Boots website - the blade shape and the number of pins and the date code on the blade ?

Thank you

That was the prototype but I will check in the morning when I get back in the office to verify the date stamp. The blade is a 420HC standard 110 blade but should have a 2023 date stamp. We replaced the stainless steel rocker pin with a brass pin and used original small head pins for the ebony inlays. The picture of the older 110 is from my personal collection that Danny used to replicate the shape.

The date code for the project will have a 2023 date stamp.

Nicks are some of the best PNW styles boots you can buy, they're good stuff.
Having said that, these aren't really my bag.
 
For decades most of the shoes sold in the USA were made in the tristate
New England area by Americans for Americans.. If I still wore that type of boots I would seriously consider getting a pair. The last pair I owned was called 'Gorilla Boots' in the late 80's and was one tough boot..
 
Thanks Hickory n steel Hickory n steel for posting this. I always enjoy a good "How It's Made" video - this one makes me appreciate the Redwings I wore for work years ago. They were a pain in the wallet, but so much goes into making them, I'm sure they were worth it.

If they really wanted to do this right . . .

The sheath attached to the boot would be for a Buck 124.

With a 119 sheath piggy-backed to it.

With a 117 sheath piggy-back to it.

With a 110 sheath piggy-back to it.

With a 112 sheath piggy-back to it.

With a . . .

Kind of a Russian Nesting Dolls concept, but for knives mounted on a boot.

You forgot about a OTF auto mounted at the tip of the boot.
 
Now that I see the video, it explains why they are $600. I never knew so many nails and screws were in a boot. I also enjoyed all the special tools, like the pliers/hammer combo. There are so many operations and opportunities to mess up, it is a testament to the workers that even one can be made without defects.
