I've told this story before, but I'll add it here:
I bought a 112 (smaller brother to the 110, and I think a better knife) when I first joined the Army in 1990. Actually, I bought two - one to wear on my uniform and one to wear on my jeans. I was doing something that a typical 17 year old private would do with a knife (screwdriver, pry bar, something dumb) and I snapped the tip. No biggie, I thought because I had a spare. I then got a visit from the "good idea fairy" and ground the broken tip into a tanto blade. About 15 years later, I realized I lost the spare and wanted my old Buck back. I sent it to the factory with a note saying I was an idiot, and please repair and bill me. They repaired the knife for free (which I actually expected, despite me admitting it was in no way covered under warranty) and had it back to me in a week - which I did NOT expect. And it was MY knife, not a replacement.
Still one of my favorite knives. I add grip tape to the blade at the nail nick so I can open it with my thumb one handed.
