Short answer. Buck says its classic knives, including the 110, 112 Slim Select, 55 and Bantam, are made in Post Falls, Idaho. Not every Buck knife is, and some sheaths are imported, so check the exact model’s product page.

This page sums up what Buck Knives says about where its products are made, with a link to the maker’s own page, the caveats and the date we checked. We have not visited the factory or tested the product. Buck did not pay to be listed.

Caveat
Buck makes most, not all, of its line in Idaho. Buck’s own catalog lists sheath origin separately: some sheaths are made in the USA and others are imported. Check the product page of the exact model.
Price
Buck listed the 110 at $89.99 on Oct 15, 2026. Prices change; confirm before you buy. The price on Amazon may differ.
Why it makes a good gift
The lockback folder that has been a gift-for-dad standard since 1964. Great for hunters, campers and anyone who will carry a real knife.
