is the 110 fine for a 14 year old

It's not too good and it's not too bad.....it's just right.

Start saving up for a custom 110 for his 18th birthday.

That will be a fun gift to give.

My father gave me a 102 woodsman when I was about 12 for camping. The good thing about a small fixed blade is that it can easily be seen and therefore not tempted to be used in the wrong manner. A 110 is still a great knife for that age too. I'm sure he'll appreciate it, specially if he likes outdoor stuff.
 
A 110 for a 14 year old is perfect. Not too expensive in case of loss or misuse, and a darn good all around knife.
 
I put a wicked sharp convex on my 102 woodsman. I could put a convex on, if you would like for free.

Here is mine:

now i collect the 110 and highly regard them as best for me ..
but i know the 112 is lighter and easier for many to use...
and it has a hook to help keep your hand from slipping down on the blade..
for a 14yo i would think if he is not large for that age
a 112 is a good consideration also!
 
You can't go wrong with either a 110 or a 112. Ideal knives for a 14 yo, or anyone else for that matter.
 
Gave the Grandson a near minty 112 for Christmas. Found one with his birth year tang stamp. A 1992 dash.....

And have found a near minty double dash 110 for his birthday. He was really interested in the year code tang stamps

I am 14 and I carry a 110 everyday. I am big for my age though most people think I am 16 or 17. I think a 110 is a great knife for him.

im planing on getting it for my 14 year old for his b-day. Is it to good, or to bad.

As for whether he should have a knife, if he hunts or fishes or camps, knows firearm safety and can handle a Remington 870, or runs around on the farm in a combine, then by all means.

If he paints his fingernails black, then no. :thumbup:

I do think the 112 might be a little better because of its size, but its no biggy either way. Either one of them will last forever.
 
the lock on some 110's can be a little difficult to work for smaller hands. depends on how big your 14 yr old is.
 
When I was 12, my dad gave me a 110. Still have it and it's mint (60's). I think the 110 or 112 would be great for the boy. Heck, I would give him the 112 and in a couple of years the 110. Whether he uses them or not, he will never forget who gave it to him and treasure them for life. :)
 
I still have the 102 my father gave me in the late 70's and the 110 I saved for and bought myself the next year. Both are cherished old companions and have a ton of great memories to go along with them, especially the one from my father. Go for it!
 
I gave my son a mint 4 dot for his 9th birthday that I had found and bought. I kind of hated to give him such a fine knife. The sheath has a couple of scratches now, and the blade a couple of small dings from cutting the feet off a goose he had killed, on his own, btw w' a 50 yeard shot with a 20 gauge. I also field dressed a 6 point buck he bagged with it. Yesterday, he pulled it out, and said, "I'm going to keep this knife my entire life". He has probably 30 knives, but it is a well cared for favorite of his.

Get the 14 year old a 110.
 
Yes definitely, the 110 is a perfect knife for youths. Its a good solid knife, with a good sheath for little money. Youngsters tend to lose things, and the knife is easily replaceable.
 
When I was 14 I spent about every non-school hour with a Schrade LB7 in my back pocket. Yeah, definitely a 110 is a good choice for your lad.
