Purpose of buck 110 auto elite - Buck Knives 110 Auto Elite 3.75in Automatic Folding Knives

This knife is great for doing judicious slicing… as a street defense, cutting paper tape, flesh et.al. It is not a work knife as the original 110. The blade is extremely sharp but has too much play to use as a utility tool. Also the SV blade is high maintenance to sharpen. The g10 scales are fantastic. Still, very nice to own & carry. My particular specimen is well made & works perfectly. I like it, but if I have tough work I use my old 110. It’s easy to sharpen & the blade lock works are tight even after decades of use.
