The real weak points of the 110 are the tip is vulnerable and the shape of the tip can dig in when splitting the stomach area on game. And unless they have improved it, the hinge wears, the blade gets sloppy. And unless they have improved it, the lock spring gets weak. I've worn out a number of 110's.

I do use my pocket folder more than most people, I did a quick calculation. I pull it out of my pocket, open it, cut something and return it to my pocket around 24,000 times (conservatively) in a ten year period.
I use mine to gut deer. I only wish I needed it as many times as you.lol
