I recently purchased a clip point Buck 110 LT at Walmart or 20.00 and a drop point 110LT from copper n clad. Both knives are very nice and well made for the price. They weigh in a 3.2 oz and have a very grippy handle, lock up solid, and very little blade play. Like my regular 110 they feel great in the hand, but lighter. I used the clip and drop point to debone my mule deer this morning and I was very please with their performance. They never slipped and were comfortable to use. The edge held very well too, each would still roughly shave arm hair. I highly recommend the Walmart version which has a larger than normal buck logo for 20.00. I think I preferred the clip point to the drop because of the fine tip. Buck 127 oceanmate and Randall #8.

Buck has been and will always be one of my favorite knife producers around. I really like the lightweight models their producing. Great for so many things!

a drop point LT in S30V would really interest me.

I've seen them before, might be worth keeping an eye out. Of course they have the aluminum bolster lightweight 110 also.

Ive been eyeing up one in drop point 30sv and red micarta scales on amazon for $99. But this $20 walmart knife is tempting to scratch my itch to own a "buck knife" Oh... I noticed walmart cranked the standard buck 110 up from $28 to $35. I used to direct a lot of new hunters to those cheap bucks for first knives.

The standard Buck 110 and 112 are two of my favorite folding hunting knives. I'll have to check out the 110 LT version.

I bought my Finger Grooved model 110 back in the 1980's and have used it regularly ever since. But the blade developed a looseness so I visited the BUCK website to learn how to mail it in to them for repair. It was easy. Two months later, it arrived looking and handling like NEW! They replaced the lock spring and polished the brass to appear as new which BUCK calls "the spa treatment." BUCK is a truly exceptional company!!!

I still have the 110 my father gave me in 1974(?). Old style of course, no rounded off handles. Used to carry that knife a lot, and it still spends hunting season on my belt, although I usually have a KOA Alpha Wolf in my daypack. Broke a tiny bit of the tip off when I dropped it decades ago, but I reshaped it on a stone and it works fine and almost looks normal.
Bought another 110 back in the 90s, but seem to have lost that one. Maybe it will show up in the bottom of a box some day.
Also picked up one of the Cabela's Alaskan Guide 110s a few years ago - brass, rosewood, S30V blade. Very nice, but still carry my old 110.
Haven't tried a 110 Lite, but have several other bucklite and bantam models that have been good knives. They still have good blades, a lot lighter to carry, and much cheaper to replace when you lose one! I used to carry a Nickel bolster 501 as a pocket knife in the 80s when It wasn't appropriate to carry a belt sheath, but after losing a couple I went to plastic handle bucklites. Then, of course, stopped losing knives.

Recently picked up a 110 LT Drop Point as a spare for one of the packs.
At $33.99, it wasn't a tough decision.
