Stealth Run #010 Released - 110 Slim Elite, Magnacut, Ebony w/Nickel Silver Bolsters, Pocket Clip

[Greasepiggy]

Sweet! I’m in. No thumbstud is a bonus!

 

[ferider]

Always thought the 110 size was the sweet spot for a folder.

 

[yamsi12]

I’m in.

Honestly this would be a home run if it were a production model, as a 112 as well.

 

[ChiefTJS]

I ordered one but definitely would prefer a 112 if Buck is listening.

 

[SharpBits]

It's a beauty, but priced a little steep, IMO. A 112 and I might have done it anyway.

I’d bet that sometime in the near future a 112 stealth of this will get released.

 

[BigMoney]

Ordered! Didn’t even have to think about it.

420HC would have made it more affordable. Profit margin on MagnaCut must be good. Not in hand but while attractive the pocket clip looks too small for active use. The collector in me says to buy it but my wallet is doing a butt clench because I've spent a bit much recently on my habit. Will probably break down.

I'm curious, how many view this as a collectable vs how many will actually carry and use it at this price point?
When the S30V 110 Slim Pro TRX can be purchased for $75 (with discount) does this knife bring $150 more to the table as a user?

That's a really beautiful knife! I'd love to see that become regular production. I find that I carry my 112 Slims a lot more than my 110 Slims though.

Because I use and carry a 110 Slim Pro a lot, this one will be carried and used. I have enough collectables and others that I bought thinking that I would use but don't. Will this one will be different...just have to wait and see.

I'm gonna carry and use mine. I don't mind full size 110 pocket clip like a lochsa in my pocket. this thinner version just gonna take up less room width wise.

I got one, even though I don't collect 110s. But I do like 110/112 sets. I am anticipating a future 112. I caved even though my wallet is buttclenched too because I've been spending too much on knives.

So Jamal, are you banking on there being a matching 112 in the future?

 

[Happy Hippo]

For $225, why couldn't the handle be something different. Like cherrywood, colobolo, blue, or something? Maybe ebony is a safe choice that more people prefer, I don't know.

Yes, the 8 ball says most definitely.

The majority of my purchases are intended to be users.
Last count of over 300 knives, there's definitely some that just don't get used.

When I saw this new offering,I was like a Robin on a June Bug.LOL

It's not as light as an aluminum frame 110 but it is much thinner.

My own "thinned" 110 comes in at a svelte 5.5 oz. but without a pocket clip.

I think this one will get a thumb stud,just to add one more dimension to its utility.

 

[dsutton24]

It's interesting, but I can't see $225 there. I'm over the Magnacut thing. Other than that, it's a standard 110 that's had a run-in with a belt sander and has had a belt clip stuck to it.

 

[sportingspecial1]

Nice job!

I'm back to carrying a 560 primarily and this would certainly compete.

It's a pass for me though. $225 is just too much for me to spend on a steel I'm not a fan of.

I can take or leave this steel.

Although some of us have been thinning Buck 110/112's for years,this represents a monumental step for Buck.

I may be overstating the case but I view this as something akin to the introduction of the 110 Hunter Sport or the 110 Pro Slim TRX.
