Not the greatest pic but I've got to get it uploaded and back on the road ASAP. It's 20° this morning and there's an Alberta Clipper blowing through tonight. It could bring 50 mph gusts and up to 10" of snow. I've still got 300 miles to go.
Carrying this 110 Hunter Pro today. They have disappeared from the Buck website and are on clearance most everywhere else (wink:wink:nudge:nudge) so get 'em while you can!

Jeff.
Those are nice knives.
I thought of grabbing another, ...... I'm looking forward to the micarta/ aluminum framed ones coming out.
There's an art to driving that far in winter conditions..... And then to have it be your commute.....
I drive about 500-600 week. But you have worse weather, and more often!
I salute you.
Cheers to those of us that do!
Be safe.

Thank you Sir. Yep, I ordered a spare as soon as I saw these go to Clearance status and I'm glad that I also picked up a another 112 Pro last Fall.Jeff.

I'm looking forward to those new Sport versions as well. OD green isn't my first choice but I may try to make my own scales with some micarta that I picked up last year. I'll figure that out once we see how these scales age. If they turn brownish like the Slim Pro models, I'll be just fine with that.
Winter travel/commuting definitely requires a different mindset and I have much respect for anyone that does it regularly. Always be prepared and make smart decisions! (maybe I'll dig out my travel bag and post a pic of my Winter survival kit, in case anyone is interested)
Salute reciprocated.
Stay safe out there!
You can have a pocket clip if you want. The lightness and slimness of the 7/16” thick 560 make it quite clip pocketable.View attachment 1723412Yep! Better than anything I have with a pocket clip. What was I thinking
"Flick It's" per Mr Remer
Jeff,
I haven't seen these on clearance, and I'd be tempted. I had one in my cart on the Buck website at the beginning of the year, and didn't pull the trigger in time. I have a 112 Pro that's sitting in my back pocket right now. Great knife!
Ach, I just found it on clearance. Also, the 124 Legacy on clearance. The dilemma... I shouldn't have gone looking for that.
It's 19 F and falling here this morning. Yesterday was in the 40's, and I grabbed the wrong gloves this morning. They're not insulated and are about as useless as a wet cat in this cold weather.

Not as cold as it is for some of you, but here in North Eastern europe its about mid 20s, pretty good amount of snow just in the last day. Here's my 112 standing up on its tip. We've probably gotten another 4 or so since I took that picture this around lunch. Let me just say if theres one thing this weather has shown me, it's how 20 years of conflict in the middle east has made the army poorly prepared for winter. "Here's a sweater, have fun"

Currently it is 8*, but feels like -6* with the wind chill...
I'm carrying my brand new Slim Pro 112 Copper and Clad exclusive with the red micarta liners and S35Vn blade. Action on this knife is much smoother out of the box than my other slim pros too - probably cause of the liners. I'm a fan.

Temp in the teens today which was a nice change from the -56° windchill Thursday morning. The wind and snow made for some fun on the road though...

One of the most important rules of Winter driving... Try to stay in the middle of the space between the trees.how do ya know where the road is....? guess avoid the trees and you're good.
