I carry a very light knife daily. The 112 is heavy, but feels great in your hand. Wear it scout style on your belt and you will forget it's there.
Funny I just watched a short video on Bucks history and their factory in the US and how many of the workers are part of a "family".
Along with your suggestion and watching the video I'll be getting the traditional 110!
So much heritage, although I've known about the brand for years I've never owned one until now but will steadily increase my collection of Buck knives.
The 110/112, 119 etc... are heirloom knives which I'm sure my son will love.
Great to support what seems like a fantastic company too!
