No it isn't! It costs about $10 to make it. They could produce it with some exotic steel and slap a price tag close to hundred bucks but then hardly anyone would buy it. At least not the average joe.
ambientx only a collector would buy something of that nature with an inflated price tag just for it to be put in a binder or in a case with other expensive knives for display most of the people I see who own a custom made 110 don’t use it often and mainly have it put away I’d like to see them put to good use to see the durability of the materials before I purchase a edc
@@sir_i.p.freely3757 like in the video, the blades are extremely brittle , try chinese rough ryder , you can always get a crayon and write usa on it . i broke my buck carving my name in a soft pine picnic table
@@carmineredd1198 I highly doubt that unless you got one of the buck knives that are made in China which are shitty but the 110 112 and many others are still made in America and take quite a bit to brake.
I'm a total knife snob, I own a LOT of knives and many of them are very, very expensive but I'll make no bones about it; the Buck 110 is still one of the best bang-for-buck (pun intended) knives on the market. Built like a tank, great fit and finish, excellent heat treat on the blade, comes with an impressively nice sheath, all for like $40-$50... hard to beat.
As a fellow knife snob, I agree with everything you just said. Sure, I love my fancy Taylor's Eye Witness Barlow, or my Spyderco Spyopera. But a Buck is still what I'd take for a camping trip, or a hike deep in the woods.
Only the older Bucks are worth it. These days, Buck charges hundreds of dollars for their knives and they're so poorly built and cheaply made that they fall apart on you the second you start using them.
@@knownaigm It's probably available for $60 or similar if I looked elsewhere, but they're absolutely not made the same as they used to. They're made horribly cheap these days.
I spent an aggregate of 32 months In-Country Vietnam between 1966 and 1972. During that time, I opted to carry a Buck 110 instead of the Marine Corps / Navy KaBar knife. I never missed the KaBar and I always had the Buck with me in a belt sheath.
I bought my 110 in 1982 when I joined the U.S. Coast Guard. It cut thousands of ropes over those 4 years. I have used mine hunting, fishing, fire fighting, construction, virtually every situation where you would use a knife, except for self defense. It has cut wood, rope, plastic, leather, apples, meat, and even aluminum cans. When it dulls, I sharpen it and go on. I bought a limited edition Buck 55 with both factory logos, and gave it, new in the box to my neigbor for his knife collection. My 110 is still structurally solid. I chipped the tip once and had to reform it. I have had both old timer and case pocket knives go wobbly blade with sides popping off.. but my 110 is about the best folding knife I have ever known. I will give it to my first grandchild who becomes a sailor.
@@carmineredd1198 Well, the last time I checked, Merchant Marines are sailors. I didn't get spacific. As far as stopping the Navy ships goes, how many 3 letter agencies do you think we would have to go through to stop one of their boats? Our cutter would have been turned into an artificial reef with us still aboard and nobody would have heard or seen anything. We would have been featured on some mystery show about a Coast Guard Cutter that mysteriously disappeared in the Burmuda Triangle. They will ask, was it a rogue wave? Aliens? A time vortex? Magnetic anomaly? Any supernatural event they can think up. But one cause will never be pondered. Target practice! Sound far-fetched? Answer this. When the USS liberty was under attack, the USS Saratoga heard their cry for help and sortied 12 fighters and 4 tankers to go defend them. Why, when word of the rescue mission reached D.C., did Sec. Def. Robert McNamara immediately order the planes to abort the mission and return immediately to the carrier? I tend to think those sailors didn't matter to President Lyndon Johnson, and he wanted McNamara to allow the Liberty to go to the bottom, so he could blame Egypt, and use the sinking to justify joining the 6 day war alongside Israel. At any rate, it seems like at least a couple 3 letter agencies decided it best to reassign the survivors across the Navy where no two of them went to the same command and ordered them under threat of prison, not to talk to anyone about what happened. Most Coasties enjoyed our mission of saving mariners from peril on the high seas, interdicting smugglers and pirates on the high seas, and diligently protecting our coastal waters. So when we encountered Navy ships on the high seas we would all stand along the rail on deck and pass honors to each other. And occasionally our captain or XO would take a small boat over and exchange ship's hats, Zippos, patches, jackets, post cards, coffee mugs and other swag on-hand. Our CO and XO both had footlocker full of swag from other ships. This was before challenge coins became the thing. I imagine they became just another item of exchange because the CO's really like their patch, hat and Zippo collections.
Buck knives and Marlin 60s..USA! Just got one a few days ago....it felt totally nostalgic to have one in my hands again. Have went the Spyderco / Benchmade way the last 25 years but I had Buck knives as a kid.....think I got my first knife at 8. When I got my first 22.....as a means to clean squirrels and fish..... I'm glad to see they still make them in the USA. I'll be buying more to have put around here and there in different bags and to give away as gifts..... I've been loving this blade the last couple of days.....can't stop fiddling with it......it's like an old song on the radio. Great video man. Thanks for putting it up. You did a great job.
Nice to see someone who actually Carries one. Own several variations… I carry from time to time… Buck Senior had it right from the beginning… Glad the family carried on.
My opinion it still is the best you can buy I won't carry anything else iv carried a 110 since I was nine years old my grandfather and father both carried them when we layed my grandfather to rest he was wearing a 110 on his belt I know it's just a knife but in a way it makes feel closer to him
Thank you for that wonderful video. I'm happy to learn that you are happy with your knife and have used it well for so many things over the years. I actually work at Buck Knives, and I know the hard work and craftsmanship that we put into each and everyone of our knives. The history of Buck knives is an interesting story and it dates back to 1902. I use Buck Knives all my life and I have enjoyed each one. Again, great video and I'm pleased that you are happy with your 110.
I have a Buck 110 that a friend found in an old motorhome that was traded in where we worked as teenagers in 1978 and he gave it to me because he already had one. I still have it but it's got a little blade wobble from me abusing it over the years, but it works fine. I bought a new one 6 years or so back and it is tight as a drum and I just use it like you are supposed to mostly. Great knife, easy to sharpen. I've got big hands and the big smooth handles make cutting stuff up for the trash or chores around our 12 acres easy on my hands especially since I have a bit of arthritis now. In the summer when I'm wearing shorts the Buck 110 slim is nice because it is real light and doesn't pull your shorts down or flop around in your pockets.
If the blade gets broken beyond use send it back to Buck for 10.00$ they will put a new blade on it. Your video convinced me that I need a 55 Buck knife to go with my 110 and 112! Great video thanks!
For a little more they will upgrade to S30v. I believe it's $15 or $20. Not that it's necessarily because the 420hc is so good but that's a great option.
You can say alot about the Buck 110, but after all these years they are stil a great knive to use and carry. I use and carry them for the last 35 years or so. A true American classic, and i love them.
I love seeing knives get used and not just displayed. The 110 was my first really nice knife when I was a kid. I’ve been to the Buck factory twice and enjoyed their tour both times I went. 👍
Brought my first one in 1971. Used it plenty for hunting. Great for frog legs and plenty of birds rabbits squirrels one or two deer and a few other items. It's retired now like me.
Hey Dude, finally a review by a guy, who ‘s actually USED that great piece of gear. Man, if this is a 110, not a 112, you got claws like a bear. Thanks for the great video!
I just bought one with the finger grooves to thank my neighbor for driving me to the emergency room. He wouldn't take money but he took this. Unfortunately, he dropped it on the sidewalk and put a big scratch one of the brass ends. When I received it in the mail part of me was telling me to just keep it for myself.
Been carrying mine for 20 years. It's done everything I've ever asked of it and when the blade chipped from doing something I shouldn't have, Buck re-bladed and got it looking like new for $10. Just can't beat it.
Had my first one since mid 70’s, now added the automatic one. This is a slick,fast opening knife. Got mine at HQ 2 years ago for $120. They are more money now. Get one, you won’t regret it.
Bought mine in 1996... co- worker back then had a old timer folder, he bragged about it to the point of being obnoxious lol, he’s still my friend but I felt obligated to out do him so I bought a 110 .... it’s basically retired but I do carry it on special occasions....it’s a treasure ✝️🇺🇸🤙🏻🅰️
Nice review. Love the Buck 110. Don’t know how many ‘super steel’ knives I’ve collected over the years and I just went right back to ‘ole faithful 110. One of the reasons is the BOS 420HC and it’s ease of sharpening in the field on backpacking, hiking, or hunting trips. I have an original from 2005, but prefer drop point blades over clip point and got the Copper and Clad aluminum lightweight drop point with 420HC and pocket clip. I now pair it with my Ontario 1/4” 5160 RD6 or RD Tanto for backpacking because again ease of sharpening that 5160. And both are USA made and Buck represents Idaho! The Buffalo Bore ammo I carry also represents Idaho. Having this pairing deep in the very rugged, roadless wildernesses of the River Of No Return, Selway-Bitterroot and Caribou-Targhee is perfect. Now why did I spend all that money on super steel knives?
The Buck 110 is a bona-fide legend for good reason. It's hard to find anything about it to criticize. My dad and granddad both carried one their whole lives everywhere they went. It's a damn solid knife that does just about anything you can think of. And you open and close the knife the same way my granddad did :)
Really cool that you reviewed this, the most famous folder in the world. It was my first knife as a kid. They send em sharp lol. If someone didn't know this knife and you told them it was $200 they wouldn't think twice about it.
Great review. All of the important info in a direct, clearly spoken, informed presentation. Buck knives, and the 110 in particular, are American classics. Happy to report that Buck has started making handles available in sustainable ebony wood again!
Recently bought my first Buck 110 - it was on clearance as it had been engraved and the customer didn't want it after engraving! Seems a solid knife. Really liked the video, it's great to have someone jump straight into the facts without all the "hey guys thanks for watching" prolonged introduction crap... Subscribed 👍🏻
I have been using a traditional Buck 110 for 20 years. I recently purchased the 112 select slim and I love it. I still love the old knife but the new slim is very light, one hand opening and has a pocket clip. The slim is available in the 110 and 112 pattern. Both are still made in the U.S.A (Buy American) Bucks 420 is excellent !
Have owned mine for about 2 years now. Don't carry it too often as some of my other knives, but still love it. I put a kwik stud on mine, which I also love.
Really good overview - thank you! I have mostly Chris Reeve and Hinderer’s however I also have a large 110 collection - I have several of the standard version with canvas sheath, several with leather sheath, several from DLT exclusive with drop point 20CV blades, and I have 3 special added customs with 20CV blades. I always carry my Large Inkosi but I also always have a sec I d knife and 110 finds it’s way on my belt at least once a week - just a beautiful Classic!
Real good thing about the Buck 110: Buck's Service in the US. If you snap the blade in two / or break the tip, you can send the knife back to Buck in the USA and they will replace the whole Blade, and buff the Handle (for $10 dollars). I did this, just this year, and it was worth the $10, same knife came back beautiful and restored. Was a long turnaround though ( a few months ) - but worth it.
Had mine since the late seventies and still a good knife although it's it's in my drawer most of the time nowadays but it did take its share of abuse back in the day.
The buck 110 was my first and favorite folding knife It was also the cause of my first trip to the ER to get stiches lol. But I allways loved the look n feel of it. Buck 110 n 119 are truly American classics. But don't tell the democrats that they'll try and take them from us lol. 😁
I’d carry my 110 all day everyday if I wore a belt everyday. Sometimes I work in shorts when it’s hot, so I need one with a pocket clip. I HATE loose knives in my pocket.
Well. Buck does make a super lightweight 110.the buck 110 slim select. Less than half the weight of a standard 110 and also has a deep carry pocket clip and a thumb stud for 1 handed opening, with fiberglass reinforced nylon scales, the thickness is about 1/3 of a standard 110. There is also aftermarket "thumb studs" you can buy to turn any 110 into a 1 handed opener.
Some Ebay sellers have really nice hand made leather sheaths with built in metal clips so you don't need to wear a belt to carry a 110. For around 30 dollars it's worth it to carry your friend.
My dad who was born in 1958 still has his original buck 110 from 1964. He says it still has the factory edge on it but its so sharp I dont believe him especially since he has probaly used everyday. No play in the blade what so ever. And fact i beleive the buck 110 is only surpassed by the kabar USMC fighting knife. Considering they are two different classes of knife its quite the title to compare a buck 110 to a kabar
A little off topic here but found an authentic old timer magnet fishing one day got it out of the water cleaned it up and it is still a solid carry today there is something to be said about the classics
This is a great review from a true owner/user of a Buck knife. Thanks for the history of the making/materials of the knife. I haven't heard that elsewhere.
The new ones are back to using solid wood. They hatched a deal with I think it's Gibson, but some guitar maker to buy all their scraps up.I still have my 110 that I got for my 21st birtday back in 1980. Still in good shape too.
For 10 bucks Buck Will put a new blade on there or sharpen that tip up like factory. I got into all the new stuff like Benchmade, But started carrying my old 1980s 110 again Because of all the Memories And dear I have skinned. Good video. I like overalls But can't carry my gun good in them
Thank you for saying the metric. It's appreciated. It's really annoying when it's all 8ths and ounces etc. (Perhaps we metric people should do the same:) Works both ways, don't it!?!)
I have a 110 and a 112 great knives dont need all these new tacticool knives they make today. Love the classic look and feel of my bucks. And to put into perspective I am under 40yrs old and love older knife designs. New style knives are like yuppies who drive trucks you know there only pavement princess not really used for intended purpose just something that's pretty.
My within a year purchase of my AMERICAN BUCK 110 is Ebony hardwood and brass solid finest a man can hold in his hands! Just like the one I had back in my teens that one of my nephews probably got and they won't fess up! Hahaha!
I've tuned a buck 110 in order for it to open in one hand with the flick of a wrist It's kinda weird since I'm so used to using 2 hands to open one of these
I got 2 110 when i visited the states, sadly not allowed to carry them here in Scotland as they class all knifes as offensive weapons, so they just sit in my drawer 😢
Buck knife you can skin a deer cut down a tree and hammer a nail as my great uncle would tell me my dad gave me his from the 80’s first time I used it the day I got it I cut my finger open still got the scar and hope I have it til the day I die
I have had my 110 for over 40 years always my go to work horse broke blade once and buck replaced the blade. Now have many buck knives they stand by their products will Carry my 110 to my grave
My gosh his hands are huge or mine are small.. if I was to hold a Buck 110 in my hand then my hand would be as wide as the wood parts and the brass bits would stick out. To me the Buck 110 is a big knife but without even trying he is making it look tiny and small!! I envy him for the strength he must have without even knowing it hey!!
You made reference to carrying this in your pocket... That is cool... But it's something I've never done. Always in its sheath. Even when I wear shorts and it's hot in the summer I have a belt and that's how I carry. Knife in the pocket is annoying I don't care how small it is. Plus there is other things that need to go in your pocket like change and your cell phone and your wallet. And despair clean x. And God knows what else.
bought mine in 1985 and it's still a trooper! Best knife I've owned.
Whenever a friend’s son turns 18, I give them a 110.
Every man should have one.
absolutely
Excellent tradition! I might start doing that as well. 😎🤘🏻🇨🇦
My boyfriend’s dad gave me his buck 110, it definitely feels very nice to have my own knife to skin with. That’s a good philosophy you’ve got there.

As a knife maker once said "Its not so much about what the knife is made out of, but how its cooked" I have a 110 and its a very good knife.
I brought mine in 1971 when I was nine years old. It was the highest quality folding knife on the market back then.

Recently bought my first Buck 110 - it was on clearance as it had been engraved and the customer didn't want it after engraving! Seems a solid knife. Really liked the video, it's great to have someone jump straight into the facts without all the "hey guys thanks for watching" prolonged introduction crap... Subscribed 👍🏻
I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the review! I've been researching a good pocket knife and a buck will probably be the one I'll decide on.
Cheers from Australia 👍
Hope you got your buck.
I have been using a traditional Buck 110 for 20 years. I recently purchased the 112 select slim and I love it. I still love the old knife but the new slim is very light, one hand opening and has a pocket clip. The slim is available in the 110 and 112 pattern. Both are still made in the U.S.A (Buy American) Bucks 420 is excellent !
buck moved from california to avoid paying taxes. seems shady to me, i don't get a tax break why should buck ? and their 110 is a $5 knife not $40+
Have owned mine for about 2 years now. Don't carry it too often as some of my other knives, but still love it. I put a kwik stud on mine, which I also love.
Get the kwik thumb stud on amazon for buck 110. Makes 1 hand open so easy
Buck 110 - 1964. Mossberg 500 - 1961. Remington 870 - 1950. AR-15 - 1964. Remington 700 - 1962. .30-30 Winchester - 1895. All should be considered "legendary"...
You forgot 2 important years. 1906 and 1911
@@kirkmuffie7542 , Ah those .45 ACP and .30-06....
I have same knife ..holds up real good can't beat the quality for 40$ ...I will buy another one soon just for keeps
Been carrying one for better than 30 years and it never lets me down.
Really good overview - thank you! I have mostly Chris Reeve and Hinderer’s however I also have a large 110 collection - I have several of the standard version with canvas sheath, several with leather sheath, several from DLT exclusive with drop point 20CV blades, and I have 3 special added customs with 20CV blades. I always carry my Large Inkosi but I also always have a sec I d knife and 110 finds it’s way on my belt at least once a week - just a beautiful
Classic!

Thank you for the Buck 110 long term service review. A good knife makes work easier. Liked and subscribed to your channel
Real good thing about the Buck 110: Buck's Service in the US. If you snap the blade in two / or break the tip, you can send the knife back to Buck in the USA and they will replace the whole Blade, and buff the Handle (for $10 dollars). I did this, just this year, and it was worth the $10, same knife came back beautiful and restored. Was a long turnaround though ( a few months ) - but worth it.
Awesome review, very concise and you’re a great presenter
Thank you very much
I have a number of them. It can be used as a Yawara stick. Gave one to the kid across the street when he made Eagle Scout last year and a Leatherman.
Was the first knife I got when I was 12 years old from my grandfather.still have it 40 year's later
Excellent video. I love my Buck 110! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the support!
Massive thumbs up for metric units!
I use my buck knife for everything gotta say it is a great knife, hopefully pass it down to my son.
Had mine since the late seventies and still a good knife although it's it's in my drawer most of the time nowadays but it did take its share of abuse back in the day.
Thanks for your time! It definitely helped me decide
The buck 110 was my first and favorite folding knife It was also the cause of my first trip to the ER to get stiches lol. But I allways loved the look n feel of it. Buck 110 n 119 are truly American classics. But don't tell the democrats that they'll try and take them from us lol. 😁
God damn it.
Got my own.
The non-binary rainbow haired liberals feel endangered and threatened by people owning knives
I’d carry my 110 all day everyday if I wore a belt everyday. Sometimes I work in shorts when it’s hot, so I need one with a pocket clip. I HATE loose knives in my pocket.
I completely agree
Well. Buck does make a super lightweight 110.the buck 110 slim select. Less than half the weight of a standard 110 and also has a deep carry pocket clip and a thumb stud for 1 handed opening, with fiberglass reinforced nylon scales, the thickness is about 1/3 of a standard 110. There is also aftermarket "thumb studs" you can buy to turn any 110 into a 1 handed opener.
Some Ebay sellers have really nice hand made leather sheaths with built in metal clips so you don't need to wear a belt to carry a 110. For around 30 dollars it's worth it to carry your friend.
Never had any issue with the steel, and i also use s35vn which costs 3 times more. The steel holds up like a champ
My dad who was born in 1958 still has his original buck 110 from 1964. He says it still has the factory edge on it but its so sharp I dont believe him especially since he has probaly used everyday. No play in the blade what so ever. And fact i beleive the buck 110 is only surpassed by the kabar USMC fighting knife. Considering they are two different classes of knife its quite the title to compare a buck 110 to a kabar
A little off topic here but found an authentic old timer magnet fishing one day got it out of the water cleaned it up and it is still a solid carry today there is something to be said about the classics
This is a great review from a true owner/user of a Buck knife. Thanks for the history of the making/materials of the knife. I haven't heard that elsewhere.
The new ones are back to using solid wood. They hatched a deal with I think it's Gibson, but some guitar maker to buy all their scraps up.I still have my 110 that I got for my 21st birtday back in 1980. Still in good shape too.
Yeah it seems like read that it was Taylor guitars. Either way, it's super cool that they're doing it.
@@hillbillydude yes, now that you mention it, Taylor is right..couldn't remember.
I just got one and im happy!
From one Ginger beard to another, I had to like and sub, together strong!
I appreciate it brother!
My 1st blade got one xmas in 77 been my fav sense
It’s my favorite and I carry it in a sheath.
if your going to replace it for a new one, they are using ebony wood handles again.
Welcome back man like your videos
Great video I carry a buck 110 daily for work and weekend use great knife
Thanks man! Is this the Brady Borger that I know, or just a random coincidence? Lol
Just ordered one with the handwriting of buck himself on it, but was expensive here tho in europe it was 120 euros. Seems solid, good review!
Thats awesome!
@@hillbillydude It's cannceled was not avaible anymore all of a sudden lol, even when i paid for it...
Subbed. Awesome review. Thank you! 🙏🏽
I been carrying mine since 1975.
Had to buy some Brasso for mine. Old habits die hard. lol.
For 10 bucks Buck Will put a new blade on there or sharpen that tip up like factory. I got into all the new stuff like Benchmade, But started carrying my old 1980s 110 again Because of all the Memories And dear I have skinned. Good video. I like overalls But can't carry my gun good in them
I have owned mine for over 50 years. I have used and abused it. Not a wobble.
Great review of a great knife. I started a new channel and had to kick it off looking at the 110, it's a classic!
Subbed!
@@hillbillydude Appreciate it. Returned the gesture.
I just bought one thank you for your insight
Thank you for saying the metric. It's appreciated. It's really annoying when it's all 8ths and ounces etc.
(Perhaps we metric people should do the same:) Works both ways, don't it!?!)
Great review. Thanks!
Love the look of the 110! Its the definition of a knife to me... but its just too damm heavy... I have the new Slim version and that one is awesome!
I have a 110 and a 112 great knives dont need all these new tacticool knives they make today. Love the classic look and feel of my bucks. And to put into perspective I am under 40yrs old and love older knife designs. New style knives are like yuppies who drive trucks you know there only pavement princess not really used for intended purpose just something that's pretty.
I just bought one today and a holster from a friend for 70 bucks
My within a year purchase of my AMERICAN BUCK 110 is Ebony hardwood and brass solid finest a man can hold in his hands! Just like the one I had back in my teens that one of my nephews probably got and they won't fess up! Hahaha!
Not often you get a no bs video so well in haha
they make a thumb stud that you can just tighten onto the blade, i've heard good things, plan on buying a 112 and a thumbstud to match
440C steel was actually an excellent steel during the time it was used. 440C is still a decent steel.
Both are great knives the 110 112 both great I like the 112 but I got small hands is why
Great Review of an American Classic.... I've carried a 110 for years.. I want to get the drop point version, just cause I want it lol
I love my Emerson’s but at the end of the day the 110 is a workhorse and won’t let you down
My first and favorite knife
I've tuned a buck 110 in order for it to open in one hand with the flick of a wrist
It's kinda weird since I'm so used to using 2 hands to open one of these
Subscribed in the first 30 seconds. Ya seem like a no BS, to the point reviewer, and ya seem like a nice guy:)
Hope to see more from ya brudah
Thank you, my Friend!
I got 2 110 when i visited the states, sadly not allowed to carry them here in Scotland as they class all knifes as offensive weapons, so they just sit in my drawer 😢
Buck knife you can skin a deer cut down a tree and hammer a nail as my great uncle would tell me my dad gave me his from the 80’s first time I used it the day I got it I cut my finger open still got the scar and hope I have it til the day I die
I have had my 110 for over 40 years always my go to work horse broke blade once and buck replaced the blade. Now have many buck knives they stand by their products will Carry my 110 to my grave
Only 9 years? I have used mine for about 40 years.,still like new.
My gosh his hands are huge or mine are small.. if I was to hold a Buck 110 in my hand then my hand would be as wide as the wood parts and the brass bits would stick out. To me the Buck 110 is a big knife but without even trying he is making it look tiny and small!! I envy him for the strength he must have without even knowing it hey!!
You know what would be funny if he got a Baby Buck (otherwise known as a Buck 55)!!
I send my 110s back bout every 18 months for a spa treatment. The come back looking new. Blades reprofiled or replaced
Folks you just cannot go wrong with any AMERICAN Buck knife!
You look like Todd from breaking bad with a beard , good review I have the 112.
That show is epic!😂 and thank you!
Hillbilly Dude best show ever made😀
You made reference to carrying this in your pocket...
That is cool...
But it's something I've never done.
Always in its sheath.
Even when I wear shorts and it's hot in the summer I have a belt and that's how I carry.
Knife in the pocket is annoying I don't care how small it is.
Plus there is other things that need to go in your pocket like change and your cell phone and your wallet.
And despair clean x.
And God knows what else.
bro that looks like a buck knight in your big hands
the 112 is nice too
