The last knife I bought was a bog standard Buck 110 in the fall. Not sure why, as the first knife I bought (in the mid eighties) was a Schrade LB7 and I hated everything about it. Traded it to my wife's nephew shortly after I bought it and he likely traded it for pharmaceuticals of some sort.
The 110 is still as heavy and bulky (with that god-awful) brass smell as the Schrade was. I'm starting to like it, maybe shove it the coat pocket on occasion.
