Buck Knives is modernizing its most iconic silhouettes with the launch of the 110 and 112 Crossbar Elite, injecting cutting-edge materials and mechanics into the legendary Folding Hunter and Ranger platforms. The defining upgrade is the integration of a one-handed, ambidextrous crossbar locking mechanism paired with dual thumbstuds, replacing the traditional lockback design. Built for contemporary EDC users, the Elites drop significant weight by utilizing Cerakoted aluminum handles embedded with premium Macassar ebony inlays, all while retaining the unmistakable clip-point blade geometry. Crucially, Buck is stepping up performance by utilizing CPM-MagnaCut steel treated with their proprietary Paul Bos heat treatment, complemented by a sharpening choil and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip. It is a calculated evolution that bridges decades of knife-making heritage with modern user demands, offering a slimmer, faster-deploying interpretation of America’s most recognizable folding knives without sacrificing their classic identity.
