I have owned seven 110's (one being a custom) and only had one where the tip broke. It was due to my fault of trying to pry something open. I noticed you did not mention how you were using the knife. Clip point blades are weaker at the tip and Buck even states that on their website (go down to where they show "clip" point):

Not sure if you were aware but you could have just asked them to retip the blade. That's what I did when I broke mine. They just reprofiled and retipped it so that I didn't have to put a new blade. It came back shorter but still functional. Even still, the $10 they charge for a new blade is hardly anything to complain about. That even covers the shipping back to you.
