This is were the 112 fits in, when the 110 is prohibited. Otherwise you might as well carry a 110. I have always liked the way the front bolster on the 112 flairs out just enough to form a guard of sorts.
Really high quality knife, I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

When I was in the Navy, everybody I knew carried
either a Buck 112 or a TL-29. They were so common our NATO
allies thought they were both issue knives. The Brits & Deutsche
Marine folks loved to trade for the 112's. Only complaint with
them was they were hard to sharpen. ( I finally got a Lansky
sharpener for that).
