The 110 is really tempting! The only thing holding me back (other than buyer's hesitancy due to $$$) is the drop point. I know most of us really like the drop points, some more than the clip point, but after owning three 110s with drop points, I really prefer the clip.

Many of you may not remember (or perhaps this hasn't changed), but when I was a teenager in the early 1970's, EVERY boy had to have a Buck folding hunter, which you only got with the clip point. I decided to be different and got Schrade's version. We could actually carry these with us to school...well, we carried hem to school :)

I was a teenager in the 70s and no way would my mom let me have a knife and no way were they allowed in school. That was in Wisconsin (home of Jeffery Dahlmer and the Christmas Parade idiot).

Edit: I had an older brother who, by poor and irresponsible behavior, made it impossible for me to have anything like a knife or even BB gun, of which he had both. My current knife collecting addiction no doubt manifests itself from repressed emotional feelings driven by those childhood deprivations.

I hope you hate it.
I hope you sell it to me.
Then my universe will finally be well.

Actually, I have received order confirmation but not shipping confirmation. So perhaps I'm not getting one either.

Edit: I wish Buck would keep my account on-line so I could more easily check order status and such. They probably don't want me to see in one spot how much money I spent.

I thought about that after I posted, realizing belatedly that not everyone grew up where I did. My Grandfather and Grandmother had each given me pocketknives before 5th grade, and I had bought one of my own, new at the drugstore. I remember almost cutting my fingertip off while whittling on the front porch of my g-g-grandfather's house, which they used as a hunting cabin. Nowadays parents would use such a story to defend decisions not to give young guys knives, but I needed one to clean fish and there was no point in me continuing to borrow knives from my Dad and Grandfather.

I think you are right. Parents usually allowed kids to have stuff like that, especially in rural areas. I lived in a big city until a pre-teen but a small town as a teenager. My brother was an avid outdoorsman and I was not. But my brother did a lot of reckless things which made my parents think twice about me having anything dangerous, even though I was extremely responsible and studious. So I went to college and became an engineer. My brother almost flunked out of high school. I think they passed him just to get rid of him. He has his own business cleaning grain and makes twice as much money as me. I didn't even know grain needed to be cleaned.
 
Too rich for my blood, especially since I just got the Copper handled 112. Can't have em all. But very nice knives. Those Vanguards look absolutely SLICK. Now, I'm hoping this whole shindig is an indication towards two things:

1) MORE 516O! 5160 all the things!

2) A resurgence of paperstone. I was WAY too late to the game, so I missed out on the Ecolites.

So now an Ecolite 110 in 5160 is a real possibility. I mean, I understand it will probably never happen without me going crazy, spending a stupid amount of money, and playing Dr. Frankenstein again... But I may as well dream big.

When I first wanted a Buck 110 and was old enough to acquire one (high school), the price difference pushed me to Schrade LB7. It was a fine knife, but it's no Buck 110! Hollow grinds makes the difference!

We never had issues with carrying knives to school unless you behaved stupidly with them. Most carried in their pockets, but Buck 110-style belt pouches were not uncommon. The only time during my three years at the high school when a student-carried knife was an issue was when one pulled his to use as a weapon when he got attacked by another student in the bathroom. The discipline issued affected only that student and the one who attacked him, not the rest of us. Imagine that! The penalties affected only the people who acted badly, and not the people who did nothing wrong.

I took a pocket knife to school all the time in the 90s. Never did anything stupid to get in trouble with it. Even used it a couple of times when a teacher needed a screw driver, even though i technically wast supposed to have a "weapon" in school. Some of my brothers friends were covered in scars from bathroom knife fights. He went to public school in the 80s, before most Americans cared what happened to kids in inner city schools. Columbine abd then 9/11 made everyone flat out crazy, and has allowed for so much stigmatization of normal common sense things. My 16 year old is somewhat scared to take his SAK places because he's afraid of getting in trouble for possessing it. Sad world we've created for these kids. We've come a long way from the days my dad grew up in Queens, playing Mublety Peg

Indeed. Where I grew up, the game "stretch" was more common. If you're not familiar, it's where one kid threw the knife in the ground, and you had to stretch to reach it to pull it out, then throw it in the ground yourself.

I remember working on a homecoming float one year when people were wrestling with scissors trying to cut the crepe paper streamers into short pieces. I wound a bunch of it around a piece of 2x4, then sliced both ends with my knife. Easy peasey. And another time setting up for a school dance. We need some things cut and I had a Schrade fixed blade on my belt (the Loveless-style drop point) and made short work of it.

I'm glad you posted. I was starting to think I was having a "senior moment" with regards to my knife comments! It's true about 'pulling knives' - even the dumbest students never did that.

We live in a different world now! I graduated from high school in 1983, which makes me a young lad by the Buck forum standards, but it was still very different than what kids face in their schools today. Interesting how we could bring knives (and in some cases guns) to school without repercussion, yet we had far less violence in almost every community than what exist today where objects are restricted, but people are allowed to cause harms without fear of punishment.
 
Not sure how this made it from Idaho to Philly so quickly, but I'm glad it did!

i think mublety peg had different names and rules depending on where you grew up... sounds a lot like stretch... my dad said you would throw a knife at your own foot and whoever got it to stick into the ground closest to their own foot was the winner. if you flinched the opponent and on lookers got to punch you in the shoulder.

also heard it played like HORSE, where you had to repeat a trick shot, with the blade finally being stuck into the ground in close proximity to your own foot.

Just got it in the mail 10 minutes ago. Absolutely perfect. Centered, zero blade play. They should clone Danny Peretti and have them make all their knives, guys work is amazing. He may be seeing more of my knives. The last five 110s I’ve received have all had pretty bad blade play. But his is spot on perfect.

Nice. It doesn't seem possible that it came that fast. Your picture of the knife is better than Buck's.
