Boy, Buck is finally into the 21st Century! I hope that design finds its way into the standard Buck line. I also wish they would start getting away from the 420HC steel blades a little. I see some of their specialty knives that are beautiful, expensive and still have the same ol' 420HC blades. If they have an S30V production line, they should be popping some of those blades into their upper tier line.
I don't care for the skull, either. All a jury needs to see is a skull on your knife and you're a goner. But being a HD knife, I suspect it's intended for the outlaw biking crowd.
The beloved classic gets a superb and sexy-looking update from Benchmade as part of the Harley Davidson signature line -

Its absolutely friggin' drool-worthy!!!
Good steel, functional design....don't care for the skull or the $240 price tag. If I were to have that much and wanted something like a 110, I'd probably head over to Buck's Custom Shop
Nice spot though...
