What is your favorite Buck model?

My long time established favorites are the 110 and 105, however that new 117 has caught my attention for a try.
 
For me and my normal situations, it's the 112. It fits my medium-size hand perfectly, feels substantial, and looks beautifully traditional to my eye. I have a 110 that I seldom carry due to the mainly urban/suburban environment where I live and work. While the 110 is a beauty, it's just a bit too large and conspicuous for me to open and use in public or at work. The 112 closely approaches the usability of the 110, but manages to blend much better into my daily environment...perhaps it's because I can cover most of it with my hand when using it in public. I can even pocket-carry the 112 comfortably in a Cordura slip that I purchased. The first time I held a 112 was when I purchased a new old stock 2-dot. I liked it so much, I bought the other three the seller had. Then I ordered another one from the Buck Custom Shop. Then I bought one of the currently available 'Lil Jack models. Right now, I'm configuring my next custom. I guess I just like it.
