Being an avid motorcyclist who rides a 43 year-old motorcycle (think on-the-spot/side-of-the-road emergency repairs) I'm a HUGE fan of the Buck 105.

I like it's heft, balance & the blade's incredible ability to hold even the most modest sharpening.
It's something I've come to appreciate when sawing through a section of 3/8" steel-braided hose or stripping down a piece of 10-gauge battery cable.

I recently purchased a second one, simply because the price was a steal, but was immediately disgusted by the all-looks/no-functionability "tacti-cool" sheath they now come with.
A quick trip to eBay & I scored an old-style snap-flap sheath for it.
