Let's give Buck some new product ideas

I know i took it out of the sheath and first impression was a fixed 110. I know its not exzactly the same demensions but the blade is same witdth and look
 
Glad you like the 117 David, I knew you would. Try to get one of the distressed brown 117 sheaths they are awesome.

David the fixed blade 110 is called a 101 and it is not like the 212 at all. Picture an open 110 with no lock button.

Eli Chaps makes some good points about tweaking existing designs. I wish they silver soldered the guards on the 100 series knives.
 
Yea i know the 101. I just figured if the made a 212 with the 112 in mind then why not a 210 but really now that i have the 117 in hand it is what i would want and more in a 110 sized and based fixed option.

It's the do everything knife of the far north. It's the basis for the bushcraft knife. I don't understand your comment. Please expand.
 
Yes i did not even know what a Puukko knife was untill i looked it up? As far as i see it they are made in Finland and that is where you should get them from. I'm guessing when I "Finish" collecting Buck knives then maybe i'll get one
(pun intended)
 
It's just my opinion. Nothing more...:D It's just their meaning is to "stab". The Finnish Military can have them as part of their uniform but the civilians can't carry them...That's what I meant by my comment...IMHO due to some of Bucks Religious convections, I think they like to have their knives meaning to be "tool" although I would stab anything that I think that needs to be stabbed with a Buck Knife in a Heartbeat...:D:D

They're actually ill-suited for stabbing as they have no guard. Hit a bone and your hand slides down over the blade. Not good. The lack of a guard is really nice if you're wearing gloves or mittens. That's probably why they're the basic knife of scandanavia. I have four and they're incredibly useful and versatile. No guard means no stabbing but it also means that no guard gets in the way when you're doing all of the other things you use a knife for.
 
From AllOutdoor.com:


The puukko is a Finnish knife, and the name lends itself to the Finnish word “puukotta,” which means “to stab/knife.” The prefix, “puu” means “wood” in Finnish. The design of the puukko is attributed to the indigenous Sami people, who created several knives to use for day to day tasks; the puukko was the smaller option, used to skin fish or animals. Although historical records vary, the puukko dates back about 1000 years. Both men and women carried (and carry) puukkos, although the sizes change depending on the person, as the puukko handle is meant to fit the hand size of the user.

John Ek's original knives didn't have a finger guard either and he demonstrated the stabbing power of his knife by stabbing thru a silver dollar. He made his knives by special request of US Soldiers starting in WWII and continued until his death in the 70's....

Yeah, you're right. They're worthless and Buck should never consider one.
