IMHO, its not a question of either / or. You need all three: 110, 112, and 55. This set is just a basic single blade folder series of small, medium, and large, that gets added to with smaller, larger, fancy and plain additions. Of course, your always going to want other classes of EDC, such as fixed blade, multi blade, spec purpose, etc. but generally speaking these 3 will go nicely with whatever outfit your wearing. Around the shop any useful knife will work, from the Bucklites to the Bucktools. But if'n your stepin' out, great care must be used. For instance, if your wearing a tie, the 500's are great, from a 525 with a Tux, or a 505 with a suit to a 503 with a sports jacket. Overalls on the other hand absolutely require a 300 series, anything else will get you busted by the fashon police. The casual sweater look demands a nice folder on your belt with Stag or Elk scales and a Damascus blade just whispers "class". Naturally, if your toten a pistol in a belt holster a fixed blade is required to give a balanced look. So, get over to the Buck Factory page and start gettin', one each to start with, all the while keepin' an eye out for those old classics. There isn't a one that you don't need.
