New Buck Offering?

[Fisher]

Was watching YouTube last night and although admittedly half asleep, thought I saw an interview with a Buck product manager discussing their new Heritage line of the 110 and 112 models.

They are a slim wood handle version with nail nick, no pocket clip and using magna cut blade steel.

Looking again this morning I can't find the video again or any reference to them being sold online.

Has anyone else heard of them?

Is this the video you were referring to?

Yep, that's the one. Watching it again see I was mistaken that it does come with a pocket clip.

Thanks

Here a couple of screenshots from the video comparing the standard 110 to the new Slim Heritage 110 for anybody who might not want to watch the video.

I’m a fan of the 112 which is also offered in the Slim Heritage design. When I first saw them, I thought for sure I would be getting one but then I realized that one of the best things about the 112 is the in hand feel. For me anyway.

I’m going to have to handle a 112 Slim Heritage before I buy one. It might be TOO thin for me.

Thanks for the photos, nice to see them side by side.

I really like the idea so I thinned down one I had. I ordered a pocket clip but I haven't received it yet. Mine is just plain old 420HC but I don't mind sharpening my knives plus it only cost me $65.00 and the price of a pocket clip. It's probably not a practical solution for most people though .

Nice work, Gene! How do you like the in hand feel of your slimmed down 112?

Very interested in your feedback.

Good to see you posting again. I have admired your knives from afar for a decade or so.

It still has some weight to it so it really feels better than I thought it would in the hand. I really don't care for the light weight versions of the 112 or the 110 because, to me anyway, the weight is what makes them feel so good in the hand. I think it will be light enough to carry comfortably with a pocket clip but still heavy enough to have that weighty feel in the hand. I will make a post when I get the clip on it and try it out. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much, Gene.

Changing the subject a bit , I just saw a reference on MSM news about a 'Stealth' version of the 110. Automatic opener, Magnacut steel spear shaped blade with 'marblized' material covers. I looked around but have not yet seen more details.
