In Colorado and want to carry a Buck 110.

I have lived in Castle Rock, south of Denver, for 20 years. My experience is that law enforcement doesn't become curious about what you're carrying, open or concealed, unless you're acting like an idiot, or the officer is a knife guy.
Castle Rock! We used to play you guys in Football, Basketball & Track when I was going to Ft. Carson Middle and Fountain High Schools! Good times! A Loooonnggg time ago. lol

BTW way, just an observation and I am no lawyer, but the law quoted seems fail to define what is a legal "Blade". Are they referring to length to handle, or length of the cutting edge? Buck 110 would pass the legal definition if it means cutting edge. If local constables hassle you about the knife, you can bring that fact up to show they do not have a cut and dried case due to the ambiguity in the law.
 
Welcome aboard, Sparky. It's so rare to not only find a woman around these parts, but a woman who knows quality knives.
Hey Charlie_K! Thanks for that! :] I'm really a beginner at all of this but am diligently doing my homework! ^_^

I think you've been offered sufficient alternatives. If I "already" owned one, I'd knock off the tip in about 1/2 hr with a coarse diamond stone, and regrind a decent, shorter tip... Not a big deal.
 
Hey Sparkly Galaxy I have a Buck 110 that should be legal in Denver, I carried it over 20 years and from being sharpened many times it is less than 3 1/2 inches long. I used it as an EDC and also to skin and process hundreds of deer but still works well and is sharp but not very pretty. If you would like it I will send it to you at no cost. I have not carried it in almost 20 years and I have no children to pass it on to so if your want it send me your address. My Email is (removed).

Nah, they got that covered in precedent. It's all pretty well travelled ground for The Man.

112 for sure. I have a 110 that I've owned for over 40 years and so many times I've wanted to get a 112 but just can't justify owning both (not when there are so many other knives to buy :D). But I really like to proportions of the 112. I may still get one someday. ;)
 
Sun shines 300 days a year, wonderful scenery, awesome skiing hiking and climbing, beautiful women, great food, solid economy, many deer and elk to harvest. Don't know why I stay in this terrible place.
Colorado has my <3

Geez, this thread really got some views! <3 I wanted to update that I ordered a 112 Ranger and it arrives tomorrow. ;] Very exciting not to be a felon anymore. ^_~
Glad to hear it; you'll love it. I prefer the 112 personally; the 110 is great if you actually need a folding knife for field-dressing game or what not, but for the kind of things most people use a knife for on a daily basis, the 112 is a much handier size.

I have my dad's early-'70s 112. He carried it daily for 40+ years and it's as solid as ever.

If you're planning on belt-carrying it, you might look into a different sheath. The one Buck provides is good quality, but something in the leather they use causes the brass to tarnish really quickly. I use a Quickdraw from Highlands Leather on Etsy, and it's great.

Enjoy your new knife!
