Just saw these as "coming soon." 110 and 112 Slim Select and Pro versions with nylon and micarta scales respectively.
Pro version has steel upgrade from 420HC to S30V.
Thumb stud and pocket clip, light weight.
Pivot appears to be pinned.
 
Sounds pretty awesome. Maybe I'll hold off on the spitfire I was thinking about.

Got a link? My google turns up nothing.
 
Looks like a slim version of the LT.

" Handle: The profile of the 110 is maintained but the heavy bolsters and handles have been replaced with simple, durable, lightweight nylon handle scales delivering a slim profile in the pocket and a sub 3 oz. carry weight. A perfect blend of classic design and modern construction for every day carry and use. A simple back lock mechanism provides solid and secure lockup for use. The back lock, thumb studs and pocket clip make this knife fully ambidextrous."

I am digging the green micarta 110 and 112. you can see all of the slim offerings here: https://www.gpknives.com/pre-order-knives.html
 
WOW that looks very interesting. I see they have a G-10 version which I have been waiting for forever!!
 
G10, pocket clip, S30V, thinner handle, all sounds good. Thumb stud not so much, but I can live with it.
 
Holy cow that's 7 variations each for the 110 and 112. I guess this explains why Buck was adamant about not putting a clip on the smoke jumper and why there isn't one on the LT models. Also explains why the Bucklite Max folders disappeared. These look pretty great. I really like the slightly modified blade with the straighter clip. Looks more modern and befitting the overall design.
 
I've been waiting a long time for Buck to make these. I'll definitely get one. Probably either the 110 brown micarta or black g-10.
 
I can't tell from the photos but, I wonder if they've found a fix for the small hump on the spring of the slim (as seen on the LT) or if the 112 will also have it.

Not that it would bother me.

My guess is that it will be on the plastic handles (LT Slim) but not on the G10 and Micarta handles.

On the photo Jazz posted (#13), it looks like the hump is there on the lock bar.
 
wonder what the price points are gonna be? regardless looks like a winner for many of my preferences.
