This appears to be the 112 “Slim” Heritage Elite.

Congrats.

Please tell us how you like the lighter weight and does it still feel like a string knife. And how you like using it. Thanks and appreciated.

I've only had it for a day now but first impressions are quite good. I know some won't agree but for daily carry the standard thickness feels a bit bulky for me. I have medium size hands and this knife feels fine in hand to me. The pocket clip is an appreciated addition for me also. This along with the slim profile which allows the knife to ride almost unnoticed in my pocket. The clip was well executed with nice deep carry and thick metal that seems like it will hold up well. I don't usually use a belt pouch. If I don't have a pocket clip I usually carry my knives in a pocket slip that is wide enough so that it won't turn sideways in my pocket. Having a knife laying sideways at the bottom of my pocket has always bothered me. The action and lockup is standard Buck and very nice. I also appreciate the upgrade to magnacut steel. If I had to nitpick I do notice is the edges are a bit sharper in comparison to the standard edition, it would be nice if they were radiused a little more.

Thank you so much, I really want to see how the heritage elite does in EDC situations. I have a regular 112 with finger grooves for EDC, and I got a custom shop 112 in Magnacut and finger grooves and micarta slabs, so it is a little lighter than my standard 112. Been a little hesitant to use it much, but have to really just use it too like the regular 112. Appreciate you sharing, plus at ‘first ‘I didn’t think I would like the clip on the heritage elite, but now it makes sense for pocket carry.
