has anyone had experience changing a buck folder ("The 55" is the name of the knife but i dont think that really matters its a lock back also) into a auto i would like to do this but dont know how to and would like the help if anyone knew what to do thanks.

it's not easy.that's prob why they're much higher than the manual version.most conversions are done in a machine shop

I dont know how to convert one, but I can get one for you if your wanting one. Let me know and I will get one. I can get buck 110 and the 112

Go to www.pvk.com and look under "Buck". They have both of them available. As of 5/14/2009, The Buck 110 sells for $152.00 + shipping, and the Buck 112 sells for 150.00 + shipping.

I hope that this helps you in your search.
