I would be proud to have one like that in my rare, odd,1of1 112 collection . Why I like it is because it is light wood. So very many 112's are dark few are light. I had the thought looking at it that Buck should offer (even just BCCI members) a 110 112 with NO handles so we could make our own custom. .CJ could you consider that please? With the kind of glue out now there would not be a problem of handles falling off. It might be suitable idea for a limited run. .I bet 100 or even 300 would sell out quick as there is so many people re-handling Bucks of all kinds. I might start a thread about that. ID the blade as a' personal custom' or maybe the tang. .Any way I do like the drop point too.
