What is the most recent knife you bought?

Interesting design, never seen one but I like it. Kind of looks like a Butterfly knife design. Can you flip it?
 
Someone . . . who may or may not be a member of this forum . . . who may or may not be saving his pennies for a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol . . . may or may not have recently received a text message about a Buck 110 stealth run in Magnacut with Honduran Rosewood Scales and nickel silver bolsters . . . and may or may not have shown great weakness.

Allegedly.
 
I've carried a Victorinox "Swiss army knife" as EDC for decades, and am very happy with them. However, an incident at a local establishment made me consider something a little more capable of defensive use. So, I've been looking at weak (left) side clip knives for a while now but they are hard to find. Some models allow swapping the pocket clip to the opposite side, but finding a "good" knife with this option, that I like for a tolerable price has been impossible. So I decided to try an assortment of less expensive knives via Midway's clearance section. These four were purchased just before Yule for less than $100 total. Nothing fancy, but you have to start somewhere. After just a bit of fiddling the Browning became my EDC. Not really crazy about the shape of the blade but it handles well, the finger assist opening is incredibly fast and lock-up is solid. Unbelievably sharp....

The SOG went into the bugout bag, our youngest daughter received the Gerber for Yule and the American Buffalo was relegated to household use. It is a decent feeling knife with a solid action but it has a safety slide catch on the spine that blocks the blade from opening. Won't chance that when life could be at stake.

I saw you post on Bladeforums, I got the same one. It's a very handsome 110!
 
Picked up an ESEE 6, the 6 is too big imo for a trail knife but its great as an outright survival knife capable of chopping and batoning. The scale shapes are a bit big and squared off for me but that's an easy fix. I'm not a huge fan of serrations but I thought I'd give this a try as the serrations have a flat between each serration, so you can actually sharpen it with a conventional sharpener.
Very popular knife so I'm sure most have seen it before but here's a stock image.

Well, then you also know about what happened today, so the 110 is no longer the last knife I bought!

D'OH! 😲

I got two 112s as well LOL. Should have gotten two 110s, but now I'll have a 110/112 set and a 112 for my special pile of nice-ish knives. I like to keep a few knives on hand if I run into someone I like a lot who expresses an interest or a need in having a good knife, an extra premium 112 would be a nice gift to have on hand.
