More excitement from Buck for 2018

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

If it had a mid lock, one hand closing would be much quicker and simpler. I am fine with using two hands to open the knife, but having to use two hands to close it doesn't work for me.
i guess it's what you are used to. The first lock backs I ever owned were a Buck 112 and a Puma Game Warden so their style of lock back seems natural. Mid locks seem harder to unlock.

No love for the 110 Auto Elite? Th S30V steel and G10 scales seem to be the hot ticket. This knife should hold its edge through skinning at least three deer before taking it to your Spyderco Tri-angle "Sharpmaker".

This is the Buck 110 for the 21st century.

I'm probably going to buy the S30V Buck Pro Hunter (non-auto). I expect the steel to perform at least as good as 440C or 425 MOD, both of which I can clean (skin and rough butcher) three deer without touching up - of course I am careful of my edge while working around bone. Cannot say that for the 420HC, about one is the limit with some mild touching up. OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

I’ve been eyeing those 110LT s30v models. I may have to put that in Mrs. Clause’s list for Christmas.

Well, I'm confused. I went and looked for that 110LT s30V model and there are about forty eleven different models wearing that badge. What the hey am I looking for?

I think those with the G-10 handles are the only ones that have S30V steel.

Of course, from a cost standpoint, I'd love to see plastic-handle 110LTs that use all the steels Buck has used; from regular runs to special; just for those that like to try out different steels. Sorta like a Buck version of the Spyderco Mule. I have the Shield and am thinking about getting the Smokejumper that use the CPM-154 steel. So far, that is the only steel I have seen that comes close to the 440C of old. It is actually slightly better in my use. The S30V Bucks are on the expensive side, and so far, I'm looking at the Spitfire in S30V; as it is the cheapest.

Yes there’s several LT models and I don’t know all the differences. There maybe other steel options out there.
