    Thanks guys, this one was fun to do...
    JB, I don't have a scale in that range, but will try to post more shots in the SPS. I'll try to get a weight on it before then.
    The blade etch is Buck Pro-Line

    It carries like a large ,thin folder, Weight is 5.3 oz ...lighter,but not a lightweight.

    Wow. That is simply stunning. The classic profile of a 110 in a slimmer sleeker package. It looks so elegant.

    Just did the math...it's a 26% reduction in weight, and after a few days carry its not at all uncomfortable front pocket carry.

    How does the knife feel in hand? It looks like it would be less hand-filling, but the contours look like they would make for a really comfortable and great feeling grip.

    It's a comfortable and secure grip because of the finger grooves, but a tad on the thinish side for my large meat hooks. Without the finger grooves it would be a no go for me. A 112 without grooves has the added safety of the hooked bolster that the 110 doesn't offer. Just keeping it honest...I actually prefer the 112 with this treatment over the 110. Overall it is more pocket friendly, and the weight is about 1 oz less...

    Yup, it is one in the same that you personally handled before I mangled it!

    sitflyer, That is some beautiful work there. I like the fact that it is so much thinner, but that the liners still look like they are the same thickness. Easier carry without sacrificing strength...when's Buck going to start making it?

    That osage looks GREAT SIT. It would probably carry well with a nice custom belt sheath.

    That is a great idea! It's OK in pocket, but the length is just a tad excessive for my tastes. A nicely tooled sheath would be a nice touch.
    Thanks to all of you for the compliments
