Got reacquainted with an old friend...

[TXUSMC]

Yesterday, while I was rummaging through a dresser drawer, I found my old Buck 112, purchased in 1994 on the U.S.S. Wasp. Long before I became interested in Benchmades and Emersons, I carried that Buck 112 on my belt on a daily basis. As newer, lighter, and "cooler" knives came on the market, I stopped carrying my old friend. Funny thing is, before "tactical knives" became a thing, a Buck folder was a very common tool on the belts on military men.

It was, and still is, a great blade... like its cousin the Buck 110, a classic. So when I dressed for work today, I put it on my belt.

Old friends should not be forgotten!
