Modern Classics

[Eric J]

Don't forget the Benchmade 910!

While the Buck 110 is universally regarded as a classic, I wonder if that is because of its history, beautiful design and build, or its continuing utility.

It seems to me, from my limited experience (none with the Buck) that many modern designs, like the Spyderco Endura, can pretty well do the same job and are just as durable as the 110 with the added convenience of one handed opening and much lighter weight.

I hope this isn't one of those topics that has been beat to death, but I would like to know from Buck enthusiasts (or otherwise) what they think.

Thanx for your opinions.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so it would perhaps be better to start another thread asking about the merits of the Buck 110 over more modern one-handers.

Good luck,
Allen.

Done. I invite your response.
