Mickey Finn is a genius...
 

....I (also) really like the 186, but then, I've owned a 110 for a looong time, so I might be a bit biased.

I got this a while ago after having used my 110 for decades. Also got a BuckLite. A light weight useful knife though not as sexy as the 186

Now you need a Phrobis Blademate to complete the package.

Indeed.


I thought this quite nifty for the 110.......,

...but of course it has to be the Phrobis for the 186.

Funny thing is, when Mickey first introduced the 186 to Buck it had a thumb stud on the blade. Buck didn't want any part of it for liability reasons.

Too bad, as it would have completed the package.
Good thing, that 186 owners can get it as an aftermarket part.
