Perhaps both are in order! A victory and a failure all in one action.

Thanks for the link! It's good to know that the French have a sense of humor now that Jerry Lewis is dead (RIP, you freakin' genius!).

Have you ever got some free bandaids when you ordered a knife online?
One time I ordered a knife while I was in the US and there was a few bandaids in the box.
I thought it was hilarious.They really know their customer base.

Heck sometimes you even cut yourself with your own knife while opening the package which contains your new knife, before you even get a chance to cut yourself with your new knife!

I have! In fact, DLT trading send a little plastic box that holds some of their adhesive bandages, so I am expecting a new supply! I think they're black!

I can neither affirm nor deny any such allegations or implications, sir.

However, if it happened, I will note that that some of that clamshell packaging is really tough to open!

Looking forward to seeing pics, with or without stitches

 

[BluePig]

Would be better without stitches...

It shipped USPS priority mail this afternoon, so I should have it Saturday or Monday.

Once I have some alone time with it, I'll borrow SWMBO's phone and take some glamour shots to share here.

Uh-oh. Just found out they have a very similar, second 2018 exclusive, but with GREEN canvas micarta.

Buck 110 Ultimate Hunter S35VN - Limited Edition - Green Canvas Micarta

This model is even cooler! With no pins in the scales! Oh, worrah-worrah-worrah!

I had to double-check to make sure that post was not in the other thread, about the hunter and the giraffe, that is now about rhino boners.

Hah! This topic is a boner-free zone!

BEHOLD!

 

[Sylvain]

It got there fast!
How many cuts so far?

Zero (on flesh)!

As with most Buck 110s (and most Spydercos, any model), it sliced paper and shave very easily out of the box. Also like most sharp factory knives, the edge was polished and thus not great at slicing. I fixed that right after some paper slicing fun. It still needs a bit more work, but if this were my only folder, I'd be in good shape.

I don't know how well you can see it in the photo, but you can see the linen pattern in the Micarta really well. It's polished, but since it's Micarta it's still going to provide a superior gripping surface when wet. The nickel silver bolsters go great with the black scales too.

And now I need the green canvas Micarta version without pins in the scales. NEED IT.

It does look nice!

How do you carry such a knife without a pocket clip? Just loose in your pocket or in some kind of leather pouch on your belt?

Or is it more like a knife that you would keep in a drawer at home?

I got used to pocket clips on my knives.Or at least a loop to be carried on a keychain if it's a small knife.

It came with a leather belt sheath. When I've carried them, I've either carried them in a belt pouch (usually nylon aftermarket) or tucked it into my back pocket next to my wallet. They're definitely not as carry friendly as some more modern folders, or as easy to open one-handed.

Here is a photo of the belt pouch from the DLT web site. It's the classic 110-style leather belt pouch, but stitching is gray instead of black and the it has a fancier snap.

I think I'll get a neck "sheath" made for it, which is just a piece of kydex that will hold it by one end from a lanyard. I have a similar setup for my AdV Tac Butcher and it's very handy. Of course, I wear some kind of neck knife almost all the time.

Nice !

Let me suggest a Spyderco since Im a spyderco nutjob! Stop the urge buy a knife. BTW nice blade you choose!

I am jealous.I did pick up another 110 Hunter NOS this weekend at a Walmart in Tennessee for $34.00 ...just could not pass it up again.

Nice !

Thank you, sir!

Spydercos are indeed awesome. Most of my EDC knives are Spydercos. My favorites are the Military, Manix 2 XL, and Endura/Delica. Few of the newer models give me that "must have" feeling, but I get weak when I see a new version of the Military with unique scales or blade steel.

Can't go wrong with that!

I had a standard 110 years ago that I bought for $30. Then I shipped it to Buck when they still offered BG-42 blade swaps. I used the crap out of that knife until I could about a millimeter of the edge all around had been worn away from use/sharpening/use/sharpening. I retired it because it can't be replaced.
