Trip to Walmart

Went to Wally World yesterday after range trip and got some Perfecta 357s, was waiting for change and saw a knife off to the side kinda covered up, package tore. I could see it was a Buck, not with the rest. I asked to see it and well for less than $30.00, SOLD

What do ya think ?? 420HC blade

you done good, I routinely see them going for from $46 to almost twice that (depends on how upscale the store is) ..

.. Buck introduced their 110 Folding Hunter in 1964 .... I bought my first on as a HS Graduation present for myself in 1965 (both of mine have leather sheaths) .... after many years of hard use, I had to send it back to Buck to have the blade replaced .... they did so for free and I gave it to our son to give to his son when he feels he's ready .... immediately bought a replacement that I still carry .... should we ever have another grandson it will eventually it will go to him .... as a bit of info, 420HC Steel is Buck's standard blade material .... according to them, it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels .... they say their heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability .... it is a blade that is easy to resharpen and they say for best performance they harden it to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58

That's a great deal, they have good prices and I have bought hunting supplies fron Walmart on numerous occasions. You got a good looking, quality knife at a good price.

Sadly, the Walmart by my house has too much knife theft they are all pulled off the shelves and hidden under the counter (not even displayed in a case). I went looking for a Kershaw Scallion (my favorite EDC knife) and noticed the shelves were empty. When I asked the lady working the sporting goods section she pulled out a pile from under the counter. Most of the packages were mangled or torn up from previous theft attempts!

Ditto on Dutch.
Nice-looking Buck.
I looked at a couple of web sellers of Buck knives. One listed your exact knife at $43, and the nylon sheath sold separately at $11 (note these also were "reduced" prices from msrp). So your purchase price was just fine...good buy.

I'll have to check out the local wally worlds I visit...never have seen knives on their shelves. Must be "hidden" as some of you mentioned.

Good price and a really pretty piece of wood on it.

Thank you, ALL,
I couldn't see the wood in display case. Then he pulled it out and handed it tom me. The brass and the wood did it, and $27.97
I like how the blade is sharp on the back side part way too !! Almost... JUST almost, don't want to use it

I've never bought a new Buck knife before. Have had a couple over the years, but first new one.
I was quite impressed w/back side of warranty paper that was with it. hope not over religion line !
But I will NEVER buy another brand myself !!

You couldn't do better for less money. Buck's 110 from Walmart is an excellent value, even with the nylon holder. (I prefer leather myself)
You will enjoy that knife for the rest of your life. Congratulations.
