Everyone in my platoon had a Buck 110. We worked them to the point we could use them as a "sling blade," just as fast as an automatic.
The 110 was the first knife I learned to sling, then shortly after got a Bucklite based on looks, pretty sure the metal was not the same as the 110 because it was total crap and would not hold the edge all the way through a single hog dressing.
Sling or snapping works for me, lets the automatics stay safe and unused in the box. LOL But I have had a few cross lock styles from benchmade that would sling to fast for the lock to catch properly.
Buddy of mine back in the 90a was the CFO at Straight Premium Products, This was when George was starting his product line with stuff like hoof cream, but he also had his own Buck Knife line called a Straight Buck. Back then the CFO wore many of hats at that company and only like 4 people worked there. The products where stored in a garage, all the bucks got this green stuff on them from the brass.
My wife and I called him up while I was on leave, wanted to see if he wanted to head to the coast and do some fishing to stock up the freezers. He was like hey buddy, I have a problem and I know you Army boys buff stuff out.
Ole boy showed me them blades when I went over. My wife was like no way, I am going to the beach. My mate said come on man, this guy was a Sapper. So I stayed and cleaned up knives for a week straight. Ended up buying 4 of the knives my self, man I think back then they where only like 20 bucks new.
Now what can you say about the double edge you posted, like the specs and who made it. Looks hefty and functional.
