That sounds about right. Thanks. I could not remember the exact reason and was too lazy to look it up.

Again the G-96 look-a-like of the Buck 110 was a nice imitation of the original and surprisingly well built too >> Also the Schrade knife company also did a great imitation of the Buck 110 model as well.
During the 80s & 90s there must have been at least 6 to 8 other knife companies that did their own version/imitation of the Buck 110 model.
I know that some of you are going to think that maybe I've flipped out completely but I always thought that the Chris Reeve Sebenza always reminded me a lot of the Buck 110 model. There were several similarities between those two models.

Cold Steel obviously got inspiration from it on several knives.

I don't know if any of you guys remember a company that made a lot of difference firearm products known as "G-96". They made a lot of firearm maintenance products and a wide range of various sporting items. Their Nitro Solvent was really good. A very good friend of mine I haven't talked to in at least a year had a "Buck 110 look a Like" made by them. Or it may have been made by another knife company and they put the "G-96" name on it>> or it could have been licensed by G-96 or whatever.
But I used to hunt with the guy a lot and I used that particular "Buck 110 Look-A Like" model to skin a couple of deer one season and I'm here to tell you all that was a well made knife. It was just as solid and had as good of blade steel as the "Real McCoy Buck 110". There were a lot of Buck 110 Look A Like models in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s. I don't see as many now as I did in years gone by. But I do remember that one unit that had the G-96 name on it was a fine folder. If you all ever see one at a pawn shop cheap I would jump on it. It would make an excellent beater if nothing else.
Your post got me curious so I did a quick search. It looks like a company called Jet-Aer had them made in Japan and we regarded as high quality. There are several on the ‘Bay right now.
I wonder which Japanese maker produced these?
Edited: Both G96 & Jet-Aer are based in Peterson, NJ.

Getting the thread back on track, I have two 110s in Titanium with one still NIB. I always wanted to ship one off to Buck and have it upgraded to BG42, but I never did. Now it’s too late.
I have a 112 in micarta and I need to get it’s big brother 110 as well.
