I tramp around the Scottish Highlands a bit, and although it's often called 'Europe's last great wilderness', you're never more than a day from relief really. But even so, I'd still not take a folder and try and break it by hitting it with a log. You're just asking for the fun to end early. Through a bit of trial and error a Fiskars 14" Hatchett and a Swiss Army knife have served okay for 20 years now, although I'm on my second hatchett.
I love the buck 110. I have 4 of the autos with different handle material. Bucks s30v seems to be less chippy than benchmades. They got the heat treat figured out on the 420hc. It's definitely good enough for me.
I have one of these. I feel it's generally excellent, and somehow the natural accompaniment to my little .22 caliber stainless Walther TPH. I've always loved the 110s, will hunt down 1970s versions with the older 440 blades, and I have an unholy lust for switchblades in general, and this combines both! The edge seems to hold up very well. I don't expect this or any other folder to do something it was never meant to do. I expect it to slice through meats and vegetables and commonly encountered soft materials. Like wood and cardboard. And it totally does! It's also fairly easy to rebuild and tighten up a worn and loosened old standard 110 that's been abused (which is frequently) and I've done it a number of times by machining new blade bushings and pivot pins. I really like the scales on the 110 Elite too. Excellent gripping properties. Just a perfect American style switchblade all around.

Thanks for this reply! I love it when knife people make great posts! I think the Buck 110 auto is all around underrated.
What year did the buck 110 car come out? I have one that says it's from 2013. I don't know if it's true.
I’m not sure, but it was some time ago.
So i just fount out aboute 110 auto but what do you know i cant find a single one in stock!? I cant figure out why
