It's been a while since I added a Buck folder to my small knife collection. Found one I really like, and it's now my EDC in a horizontal belt-carry sheath. The full marketing name is "Buck 110 Slim Select Lockback Knife OD Green (3.625" Satin). I don't know when it was first produced, and I hadn't seen one until some weeks ago. OK, I'll start with some pictures I just took.

The web shop I got it from posted this description/features:

The Buck 110 has been given an EDC makeover with the 110 Slim Select Series. This 110 Slim model is built with OD green GFN (glass-filled nylon) handle scales and a classic 110 clip point blade. The 110 Slim Select offers everyday carry versatility with one-hand blade deployment (dual thumb studs), and a stainless steel lockback mechanism for secure Buck 110 lock up.

Most of my Bucks have the 420HC steel blades with hardness 58-60 RC, as this slim Buck also carries. One new-to-me part of the blade makeup is that it is "tumbled." Haven't found out yet what that exactly means. One thing I've noticed about the blade is that it has an almost "cloudy" appearance to it, and not the typical shinier satin on my other Bucks. That may be part of what "tumbled" is, along with whatever other factors I may discover.

This Buck functions very well, opening the blade is easy with no sideways blade movement, and the lockup is really very solid. This is a well-built knife. I'm glad this "Buck stopped here."

As usual, hope you enjoy.

interesting little Buck .... the look of the blade is most certainly different .... think I still prefer the shiny blade
