On one of these threads someone presented photos of their "drop point" Buck 110 and 112. :D I had seen this term "drop point" used to describe a blade but had not seen one. :confused: It is obviously very different from what I see on all my 110s.
Would anyone like to share why this blade is called drop point?:o
What is the other more common Buck 110 blade called? Is one better than the other? Why would I care about the shape of the blade anyway as long as its sharp and has a point or tip. I am more familar with the knives in my kitchen drawer. :) I know different blade shapes lend themselves to particular tasks such as those specialty knives for carving beef, etc but if we are just talking about folders here like the 110 or 112, does it matter which one?

If these are very elementary questions I apologise. :rolleyes: Perhaps there is a text I should checkout at the library.:confused: Naw, Its more fun to read all your answers!:D :D :D
 
Seems, to me, that I have had more clip point tips break off than a drop. That is when using the knife incorrectly on my part.
The stock 110 is a clip.
But, for working around meat, fish, and poultry, I prefer the clip.
Your mileage may vary HoeDown...
 
Man! :grumpy: Right under my nose! :eek:
I just used my drop point Sirus to pick some cheese
out of my keyboard. Nice knife!;)
 
HOE3,
Last year, Buck offered a 110 and later a 112 with a drop point blade in S30V steel. Here's a photo showing it next to the standard clip point bladed 110.

Mike,
Those are very nice 110s! :D Could maybe I see them a little bit closer?:cool:
I will have to study this photo closely, very differant look for sure, what about functionality?:confused: Any everyday experience out there with one over the other?:confused: :confused:

Hmmmm...Is that new??? I don't recall seeing that before... :confused:

That would indicate that someone at Buck is actually updating the web site... :eek:
