I don't know what is with me, I just find fingergrooves are repulsive to me its almost ~sacrilegious~ when your talking about the classic iconic BUCK 110 "the Holy grail of Knives" In a auction I won't bid on them or buy them out right even though they are 110. LOL But I feel the same way about Synthetic Knifes & all Carbon & Alloy frames too!. LOL But to each their own as they say.....
