A mini 110 (Or: This could be a winner for Buck)

I'm wondering if Buck has ever considered making a mini-version of a 110. I don't mean the 112 Ranger or some other smaller-sized lockback such as the 500 series. No, I mean an EXACT replica of a 110 but one that's scaled down and truly pocketable; something, say 3.75" long when closed. I'd give it the same dimensions and lines as the 110, just reduced to scale. I think this could be a big seller for Buck. How many of you 110 fans would buy one of these?
 
I'm interested! I am more of a traditional folder person but I got my first 110 during Christmas and it is indeed an awesome knife. I would like to see a smaller version. Great idea.
 
I'd be interested. I have owned a 110 since the mid sixties (the same 110 by the way), and the thought of a smaller version does hold a certain appeal.
 
That would be cool...as a kid I carried a small folder just like what you described,made Shr..., it was a very comfortable pocket carry folder, I always said I wish Buck made one this size...hopefully one day they will!:D
 
I think the 112 is a tad shorter then the 110... 110 would be illegal for carry here... 4.5 inch closed law! :(
 
Is a mini-110 your design of choice for a pocket knife or is it just the miniature replica factor??
 
A small 110 would make a great pocket knife. The standard 110 is just too big for the pocket. Something about the size of a 501... but not a 501.;) I'd buy one.:D

==============================

Well, I don't really have a design of choice ... that would limit me too much! :D In any given week you never know what knife I'll be toting in my pocket. I like to mix it up.

I do feel it would appeal to a lot of people as a good strong, working pocketknife (myself included). And, sure, there would be lots of knife knuts who would buy one just for the miniature replica factor (myself included).
 
I fully agree with mnblade in that I do NOT have a design of choice. Depending on how I am dressing and where I am going, I will carry any one of a handful of EDC's. I have always liked the 110 design. It was the first real knife I carried on an everyday basis back in the mid-70's and is still part of that small handful of EDC's I mentioned.

A smaller, pocketsize version of the 110 would probably get me to buy at least 2. One for my pocket, and one (as a design replica) to put in the collection.

Get the team buys CJ - there is a demand....:D :D :D
 
So CJ, Joe, have you folks there in El Cajon given this idea any thought? Should I start making out my Christmas list now!? Wishful thinking, I reckon. :)
 
Great idea! Several years ago Schrade made a scaled down version of their Bear Paw. A great little knife and very pocketable.

3 1/2"-3 5/8" closed, 2 1/2"- 2 5/8" blade....A true pocket sized 110. :cool:
Maybe with nickel silver bolsters? :cool:

A pocket sized 110 would be an awesome knife. I like the nickel silver idea but brass is fine. My current edc is the Prince (nickel silver with very dark wood scales). I love this knife because it fits most jobs and pockets perfectly. The mini 110, however, would push the Prince out of the castle. ft
 
I actually saw Wilde Bill making a few mini 110's in the shop. I do not know if they made it any further than the prototype process but at least that is a start. They may end up in the Limited Edition category of our catalogue soon.
Oh, and by the way, you did not hear this from me! ;)

Mini Schrade's are super on key chain. Ditto. You build.."we will buy". Let us know.
 
110's aren't too big. They're too heavy. A regular 110 with titanium replacing the brss would be wonderful. You would put a BG-42, S30V, VG-10 blade in it, of course. :D
