Home now and after a week discussing 110s, pulled mine out for a morning of work in the woods prepping dead logs for son’s fire place.

I also carry too much heavy stuff to notice a difference. The XL Cold Steels weigh 6-9 oz. but are admittedly 4asy to carry due to the clip.
The other EDC folders are usually 5-6 oz. (Talwar, ZT0561, Rajah III, etc.) but the clip makes a difference.

Before I got used to carrying clipped knives I had a Gerber Gator (Large model, around Buck 110 length) that I carried in a SOG leather sheath and had no trouble with it, it was just slow to deploy. Clipped knives have the point of ease of access and deployment, as well as folding closed and putting it back in the pocket.  :P

Nix, Many people carry their BM knives in BM nylon sheaths, clipless, maybe you ought to try that with the Contego  :tu:
Oddly enough the PM is touted as one of the most comfortable OHO knives ever, it goes to show that we all have different hands and grips.  :salute:

Kampf, I was astounded at your answer because I was thinking of all your XLs when you said too heavy, but I agree that the caveat is that the 110 is too heavy for the blade length it offers.  ::)
That is compensated by an excellent handle with superb ergonomics, which make the difference in use.

as for how many EDC a 110, maybe now less than ever but at its peak I guess maybe dozens of thousands of people carried one in a belt, clipped, in a caddy or in their pocket in their daily activities just in the US alone  :ahhh

the invention of clips and OHO methods probably were its doom, but nowadays it's as iconic as ever and still common sight among knife people

Barry, LoopCutter, great pics! Liked that backdrop Barry. It's good to see the 110's get out and about!

El Peacent, good thoughts there. I may see if I have a sheath that works for the Contego or make a leather friction sheath. Truth be told, it's not a knife I carry much, but maybe that's because I'm not crazy about the ergos? I didn't mean to make the PM2 sound uncomfortable, it's not terrible or too uncomfortable. The PM2 has a thin handle which focuses the pressure narrowly. Many Spydercos are like this. It might be more a case of the 110 spoiling me for the feel of other big knives.  :D

Unfortunately I can't even think of a lockback due to local laws. That and me and hollow grind don't get on. All the more for everyone else? :D

Really? No locking knives in Israel? Didn't know that. Sad.

Nicely put Peacent.

Buck has made over 15 million Buck 110's since 1964.

When Spyderco introduced the pocket clip, it's serrated edge, and opening hole it made a big change in the types of knives offered by the different manufacturers and how they were carried.

Also when Michael Walker invented the liner lock and Chris Reeve took that idea and invented the frame lock it was a big game changer in folding knives.

A lot of terrorist and mafia stabbings unfortunately make knife laws strict. A Leatherman passed under the radar though, everyone here has a Wave pretty much.

That is a shame about the strict knife laws, but it is good that you can have a Leatherman Wave. It is a very good edc companion.

Here she is, in all her glory!  When I got to the store, there was only one left, which came in a tin and had a black leather sheath.  I haven't cleaned it up yet, but what a piece of craftsmanship!


Beauty !

That second pic would make a great calendar pic  :pok:

Thanks everyone!  I'm looking forward to EDC'ing it when the 111mm Challenge is over.  The first thing that entered my mind when I unpacked it was that this knife was built like a tank!  I never knew the frame was one piece of solid brass....like Peacent says, what works, works :D

Steve, I'd love to have that on the calendar!  I saw that chimney flu door and thought it fit perfectly!
