I think Buck should make a 110 like this :)

Heres a recent project of mine:

It is approx 3.2 ounces, much more practical for those of us wanting to carry a proven, old school knife in a more modern, (titanium carbon fiber) easily serviced frame.
 
Why should Buck do it? We can get one from JAG, very nice work.

Buck has already done the take down 110 TI....it did not work, to many fools took it apart and could not get it back together. They have also done the light version in the Bucklite seires...it ran its course and died. They now have the paperstone version, I wonder how long that line will last.

Build a bunch of them and sell them in the sale section here....what could you do them for?

If you want a slightly more modern 110 check out the 486 bucklite max it IMO is nothing more than a 110 bucklite with a pocket clip thumb stud and a slightly more ergonomic handle however the handles are pinned together and that could be an issue with some.
 
I'm with JB.....

You could probably find some buyers here. Lots of younger folks love that look.

Not me, I'm addicted to the classics.

;)
 
Thanks JB. Buck did do a few different versions of a 110 sized knife that were all quite appealing I think, I wonder if they dissapeared due to lack of interest/the economy/material and tooling costs or who knows? I think this knife has attributes from alot of those knives. I love I've yet to hold a paperstone, but they look like they'd feel nice. I've also not held a 186, are they quite similar to a 560 except the clip (weight/dimension)
Sometimes taking things apart is easier than than putting them together, and sometimes it's the other way around!
Whetrock, I'm going to take your advice and track one of those 486's down. The bucklite handles are awsome for strength to weight.
BG42 I agree, my friends are digging them. And I'm with you, I collect the classics. I think most of these Carbon Fiber Titanium knives I see coming in the future will be users.
Thanks for your input guys!
 
I love the carbon fiber look, and I have several carbon fiber knives. But if they cost as much as the one on the sales page, Thats to rich for my blood. I would drop $125-$150 on one, but thats it...
 
Now that the 110 and 112 are available in the EcoLite versions, I've started pocket carrying a 112 in my rotation, and pouch carrying a 110 as well.

The weight difference is noticeable, the handles are suitably chunky for a good grip, and the blades are the real deal.

What's not to like?

Thats too bad. By the time I have a finished knife it's about 8 hours work and 120$ in materials

I am going to get me one of those!
 
Wow, I didn't know that the cost break down, so to make any money you would have to price them in the $300 range. I guess it depends on the number of knives you sell and what your time is worth. It seems to be a hard way to make a living, especially in a down market. I love the knife though.
 
Thanks Tony!
mbjannusch,
You are right, I mostly sell them here in town. They have become popular for people who are EDCing them I think, or just want to get a cool gift. Who doesn't like a nice custom knife thts been given to them!
Titanium and Carbon fiber aren't cheap, nor are consumables. :)
Thanks for the positive comments.
