So I was at the knife shop today…

I started looking at and was distracted by 2 Spydercos, and was set to buy them. But then I remembered why I made the trip, I was interested in the 112 Slim Pro. I walked over to the Buck case and knew I wanted the 112 Slim Pro in brown and green micarta.
Sure, the Spydercos had “fancier” locks and were “prettier”, but when I saw the Bucks, I knew I found what I came for. I like to use my knives, not just look at them and admire their looks. And yes, the 112 Slim Pro is a handsome knife. It’s basic in a “function over form” kind of way. To me, it’s what a knife is, a cutting tool. I e no doubt I’ll get many years of service out of my new knives. And I also know that Buck will be around longer than me, so if I ever need service, they’ll be there.
That was my day!

Now hold on for just a cotton picking minuet. Spyderco? Pretty? I have never seen a Spyderco knife I didn't think was stupid ugly. One of the main reasons I refuse to own one.

Congratulations on you new Buck 112. I'm sure it will serve you well.

O.B.

No need for all of that, haven’t you seen the dodo or schempp bowie? 😆
 
I own a lot of both brands. Both American companies both make outstanding knives.
I see my beloved Buck knives more geared for Hunting where as Spyderco is my go to rapid self defense stop a threat when my gun runs out of bullets. 😂
