You need this knife
This knife and sheath weigh nothing and I forget that I'm wearing it. The low profile sheath is invisible beneath an untucked polo. I didn't think I'd like the flexible sheath as much as I do, but it beats carrying this fairly large knife in my pocket. I can still easily get to the knife when sitting, unlike knives with a pocket clip.
I use the Buck 110 LT for opening packages and for cooking. It's the best small chef knife I have. The blade is rigid. It is easy to clean and keep sharp, and the clip point makes precise tasks effortless. I prefer this knife over traditional 4" blade kitchen knives, which tend to flex sideways when you apply pressure.
The handle is the same size as a normal Buck 110. Made of grippy black nylon, it fills the hand and provides perfect blade control, even when wet.
I like the small ceremony of pulling this knife from its sheath and carefully opening it as a precision instrument. I like the solid click that the lock makes, and I appreciate the safety of having to close it with two hands, one on the lock and one behind the blade. It closes with a satisfying snap.
They say that the best knife is the one that you'll always carry. I always carry this one.
