Dang Allen C, you and those Buck 110's, I've seen and read all I want too about them! Why you might ask? Because they look so good that it is making me want to pull the trigger on one!! I'm thinking BG-42, finger grooves, nickle silver, and stag or elk. I probably would never carry and use it because I have become so accustomed to my pocket clipped and thumb studded knives, but it sure would be nice to just have it.
Get one, you will not regret it!
I really don't miss the pocket-clip at all.
It was always getting caught on something, or scratching something.
Not to mention it was also advertising that I was carrying a knife to everyone around me.
And the knife itself was always getting scratched and dinged by other things in my pocket.
And it made it sometimes difficult to reach in to the pocket if the knife was bulky.
I suppose that if I used a knife frequently, like every hour or so, all day long, then I would prefer a pocket-clipped folder (or a fixed blade).
But I typically only use my knife several times a day, and it only takes about 3 or 4 seconds for me to retrieve my knife from its sheath and open it for use.
I do carry a pocket-clipped folder at work....Kershaw Leek.
But that's only because I wear surgical scrubs which don't have a belt.
I also like the waved Endura 4.
If you're gonna carry a pocket-clipped folder, then the wave is the way to go IMO.
I do miss the thumbstud occasionally.
