were buck first with the 110 design?

[Superdave1]

I'm about 40, and got my first 110 in the early 80's. No one told me that it was "special", I just thought it was a knife. I didin't know that it was the first folding knife strong enough to process a deer, I read that about the Buck 110. I still have it, and the one I inherited from my Stepfather, a newer somewhat smaller more rounded version. Both are good knives, could use some spa treatment.

There were plenty of slip joints strong enough ....

Agreed. I know many fellows who still dress deer with slipjoints.
