The Buck 110 was THE knife that got me to be a "knife guy". Back in 65 a GI back from Nam had a brand new one on his belt and showed it to me. I handled it and was it was awesome. $17.50 was too rich for my wallet being 19 years old and taking home $60 a week but I never forgot the quality and heft of that beauty. Have loved fine knives ever since. It's nice to see the quality of them hasn't changed over all these years.
