Sheffield irritated me terribly by sending the wrong thickness for steel I double confirmed over the phone. Considering shipping to return it I just had to eat it.

garret,
Careful with recommendations of older designs like the Buck 110. The clothing clip and one-handing opening thumb stud are real advances in folding knives. With a Buck 110, you can either carry it in a belt sheath, have it flop around in your pocket and always fall sideways so it lays across your thigh or backside, or wear really tight jeans that will keep in straight up and down in your pocket. At least that's my experience. Also, there will be times that you really want the convenience of a one-hander.
The blade also has a silly shape, not nearly as useful as the drop-point, but that's just my opinion, coupled with my resentment at the scarcity of affordable, good-looking 4" drop-point folders.

My point was that you get a lot of knife for your money with the Buck 110. Granted, it's not uber-cool in the sense of clips or one-hand opening or space-age steel. And I did mention that it's big for pocket carry.
But it is a $30 knife that has good steel and will keep on cutting, and cutting, and cutting...
Blasphemy!
It's only the most emulated knife design ever. I own fairly expensive Benchmades and Spydercos. And yeah, those are my carry knives because I like the clip and the one-hand opening, not to mention the quality and designs. But when I go afield, some form of Buck 110 is usually strapped onto my belt. A 110 will take an awful lot of abuse and keep on going. And Buck stands behind its knives like few other companies out there.
Actually, I'm a little ashamed to admit how many 110s I have.

For the knifemakers, have heard that Koval's will be closing due to cancer in the family and everything will be discounted starting Monday. Be nice to help them out.

Point taken, Guyon, but I think there are probably a few "modern" knives out there at the same price and quality.
Then again, I'm no expert on knife steels like some of y'all.

Oh I think you're right, fistful.
Clips and holes/thumb studs are mighty handy and are pretty ubiquitous in today's market. Those two features are what got me back into knives. Otherwise, I'd still be carrying around slipjoints and a Buck knife or three.
I guess I'm drawn to the Buck 110 because I'm a hunter and because the company has a rich history over a century old. http://www.buckknives.com/history.php
