Hawk and 338, I know what you mean about the size (a 3-31/8" blade) . I really like my 110 and still carry it some . Though my Duke has been seeing some pocket time and its the same size as the 112 . I agree it will do about everything I need a knife for . It's a good trapper/small game knife . I suppose one could use it to gut a deer but there are others that will do that better . So, I'll take note how this plays out with me over the next few months . DM
