For a few bucks more I'd try the new SpeedHunters. Nice size and a beautiful piece. From Stu:

Or from Alajohn a lever lock:

Both are good guys.

And before too long you can get a 110 with NS bolsters and choice of horn in an auto conversion from one of our Good Guys, Mr. Swinguard. :idea: The price looks reasonable as well.

It just gets better and better :!:

I pass on converted 110's, no offense to anyone, but first Buck HIGHLY disapproves of these conversions, and second my home state of Illinois has the most agressive switch-blade laws in the U.S., the knife itself is contraban subject to conviscation and arrest, just for possessing it.

I have a friend who stood in line to have his Buck 110 conversion signed by Buck chairman Chuck Buck who was making a personal appearance at a knife shop. Mr. Buck really liked the conversion and the quality of the conversion and emphatically stated so to my friend as he signed his knife.

He may have adrmired it, but Buck has a long standing policy against such converted knives. They make no bones about it, they will not service or repair or in anyway allow one into their factory, and they do not endorse these conversions.
