Attention: Buck has Drop Point S30V and 420HC NS bolster 110s and 112s on their site

I hope the two 112 variants are still available at the end of the month as I can’t buy one until then. I promised my wife that I wouldn’t buy anything for myself this close to my birthday.

Love the Drop Point blade and Nickel Silver. The fact that we have a choice between 420HC and S30V is the icing on the cake.

I’ll be getting one at the end of the month if they are still available. These are a great offering from Buck and reasonably priced too!

That 112 DP keeps calling to me...

Vaporstang, this is the 420HC drop point calling, there are only 129 of us left, we want to live at your house. Vaporstang, don't listen to them, this is S30V drop point calling, pick us, there are only 153 of us left ....

A lad by the name Vaporstang.
Was worried about his knife's tang.
"It's the drop point you need,
With two steels, indeed!"
And that's what the knife sirens sang.
 
I wish they would make them in aluminum or something instead. The one major consistent complaint of the 110 is its weight, especially in a world where there are so many other significantly lighter options, which are just as functional. One major reason so many people gravitate to the knife is its traditional aesthetic. I appreciate that Buck made the LT and the Slim to compete with the synthetic market, but I don’t understand why they haven’t sought to make a lighter 110 option which maintains the traditional aesthetic everyone loves.

If I’m going to pay $85 for a 7oz 420hc folder I already own (that notably cost me less than half that price three years ago), a different color scheme isn’t enough to tempt me.

I hear what your saying but I actually like the knife to have some heft to it. Now, having said that, since I am more of a collector than a user, heck yes, make them of of aluminum, red jigged bone, or anything else that would look good.

I see the weight of the 110, and 112 as a feature. It makes for easy one handed opening. I'm not interested in any of those lightweight versions.

O.B.
 
They released an aluminum bolstered 110 some years ago, and a take-a-part,112 and 110 just a couple of years ago.

Here are the take-a-parts...

There's also this standard production 110 Hunter Sport in aluminum. I don't own one, but it's on my list.

I don’t have access to my pictures right now but Buck also made an Aluminum 112 with Koa Wood scales. It might have been the January 2020 BOTM but I can’t remember for sure.
