110 Again!

[yobbos1]

Thought all the Buck fans would get a smile out of this...Got a 110 a few years ago, needed a 'hard use worker' for construction/factory work. I thought great knife but kind of bulky and sort of old fashioned. I then went out and got a plastic handled "worker" with a pocket clip-killed it-went back to my old friend 110. Tried a SAK with a serrated large blade bent the serrations (just a little nothing serious) got sick of digging the thing out of my pocket-went back to my old friend 110. Went bananas over a big tactical job by another maker used it for about two months back to my old friend 110. Bought two big folders by yet ANOTHER maker sprung the clip on one hurt my hand (not an easy thing to do w/these hands)on the other. To make a long story short guess what has taken up residence on my belt again...

Mate, I've had a similair experiance with my Stockman
and 112. Heck, I can't tell why but these are the two
of many knives I own that just wind with me 99% of
the time. All the gee whiz eye candy knves in the world
just don't fool my hand and it knows which knife it wants
to use. ( ya got to remember the right knife IS an extension
of your hand and of YOU) So carry the 110 and enjoy. That's
one less thing to worry about. You have found your right knife.

I could not agree more. The 110 is not the lightest, slimest, sleekest, fanciest, fastest, handiest or most tactical; it is just what it represents itself to be: a working man's affordable, durable, reliable, rugged and comfortable knife for general tasks, especially those slanted towards the hunter and outdoorsman.

The blade shape, overall design and reputation of this knife is such that no self respecting knife knut should be without at least one. I would venture a guess that there are more 110s in actual real-life service right now than many of the more popular folders combined.
