I am guessing that the fairly recent addition of more handle material and blade steel options for the 110 and 112 have sparked a lot more interest. I think they also added a drop point blade as an option for the 112.
I think you’re right. More orders would be my guess.

My last 110 i got with the drop point and jade micarta with finger grooves. This order, a 119 is the black s35v blade with brass gaurd/pommel and shokwood handle. Next month is hopefully another 110 with burlap micarta and serrated blade & finger grooves. we'll see, those darn bark Rivers keep draining my funds.

My Buck Paradigm has a Bos hardened S35VN blade. I’ve had it a couple of years now. I predict you’re gonna love it.

Waiting for a knife is a good mental exercise. Just go about your life and time flys by.
My cousin wanted a Randal, but said there is no way he’d wait 6 years for one. I sold him one of mine, then ordered a replacement.
The replacement came in last week. I texted him about it.
His reply? There is no way I bought that from you 6 years ago. He also admitted he has never used it.

Point is time flies. Here is the replacement.

yeh, I like the sheath. 2nd one from custom with that style material, kinda like a very smooth suede I noted the gaurd is a bit larger on this one, it doesnt ride the stand as the others do?
