For the money , do you think anything beats the Buck 110?

There's more to a knife than just the lock.

Be careful about throwing unwarranted accusations as well.

I certainly agree with your comment.

If a given lock design has a better strength to weight ratio and handles wear and tear better with essentially the same ergonomics, it's a better lock. You don't need to be trying to stand on it or chop a titanium cow carcass in half to get a benefit from that. I'm by no means a cold steel fanboy, but there are tri-ad lock knives under $30 and under 3 oz... which definitely beats the buck 110 for everyday usability for the money.

"Better" is highly subjective.

So are preferences in weight, thickness, lock style etc.

I certainly agree with your comment.

Yeah, like the steel, blade geometry, handle ergonomics, weight, and cost. All of which there are better options than the buck 110.

Even if the subtext of this thread is actually "for the money do you think anything beats the buck 110, but any lock design better than a lockback is ridiculous, and you can't tell the difference with any steel better than 420hc, and murica Heck yeah"... the answer is still a spitfire or a slim select as others have pointed out.

Yeah well, that’s just your opinion which is subjective and some of which are unwarranted ie; “racist” accusations. Totally unnecessary!

Got mine in 1981 or 1982. I can't remember exactly. Worked as a land surveyor - used it at work daily. Retired in 2014. Been using since on hikes, around the yard and in my workshop. My most carried knife by far.

They're made in Taiwan out of Japanese steel, like a lot of quality knives.

What does racism or nationalism have to do with the quality of a lock design?

Are you saying it's racist to buy American?

One warning for language.

And the comments have turned silly.
