Is the 110 handle material the same as bucklite 442-446?

According to knife center the handle material is nylon. I was hoping it was rubber like kraton.

The Buck 111 weighs in at 3.7oz , so yes a little lighter David by 5 oz .

D-R, yes mine weighs .230 lb. on a certified scale. Which is 3.68 oz., about .52 oz. heavier than this Buck LT. That's .0325 lb. lighter.
The difference we are talking about is very small. I suspect what will be noticed the most is the different 'feel' in the hand. The wider
handle. So, Buck-lites have returned. Thanks, Tiguy, for that photo. DM

Makael, Could you post a picture of the sheath? Thanks

 

[Makael]

Sure

Thankyou sir. I have a sheath that came with an older Bucklite and it is thin and shiny. Similar to the material that some back packs are made from.

Thanks! I wonder where companies are getting that 2.1 oz from?

Maybe they weighed the sheath by mistake.

Kraton would not be rigid enough for a frameless knife. If you did it as an over mold you end up with a very thick knife like the 450 Protege. It's also a very heavy material.

Lol nice. 2.1 oz would be pretty light.

Maybe the 2.1 oz is for the coming 112 LT? Weighed a 442, with clip removed, and it is 2.1 oz.
