Got a question - are these handles made from VALOX? Thanks, OH
Ps never owned a Buck 110 or 112 with a drop point blade, but the plastic handles seem "right" for a drop point, could be the right time for me to add one.

The material is Glass Filled Nylon.
 
It might be I don't "get" the 110, but an upscale blade steel with downscale handle materials seems odd. That said, it totally makes sense to have a lightweight knife in good steel. I guess it just clashes with my 110 expectation, which again maybe is off. The Marksman or Vantage is more my kind of Buck than the 110.

Anyway, I voted red mainly because I don't think black blades wear very well unless it's DLC, which I don't believe Buck uses. Otherwise yellow seems interesting just because why not be bold when it's nylon.

Titanium-nitride Wears very well. I dont think I have see any pics of it showing wear on here.
 
Seeing both renditions now, I would prefer a Red and a Black blade combination.
 
I voted red, mainly because I like the look of a stonewashed blade better than a black blade. I like the look of a yellow handle better than a red one, but the blades decided it for me. Personally I'd go yellow handle with a stonewashed blade if that were an option
 
Yellow with a drop point. Not always crazy about black blades but I'm liking the bumblebee color scheme.
 
I like the red, I do not like the stone washed blade. I prefer a clip point and a brushed satin blade.

I like yellow, too. However, that yellow is a bit to garish for my taste. I think something softer, like Case uses on its yellow handled knives, would be nicer. But that's just me.
 
Had two samples in my hand this week. Each with clip points, one stone washed, the other satin. In my opinion, the Stonewash works the best with the overall feel. Red handles and Stone wash it is! I'm hoping to get an ETA soon from Buck. Also working on something a little special for the sheaths. Hopefully red lettering and red trim rather than the all black version. Excited for this one.
