I fail to see the "advantage" of a linerlock.

From what I understand, linerlocks wear out over time. (over in General they always carrying on about "late" locking on linerlocks due to wear.) I've never heard of a backlock wearing out.

I also find it difficult to believe that a linerlock was a Factory or Custom Shop option.
No doubt the tang is different from that found the standard backlock.
That would require a complete re-engineering and re-tooling for the tang area.
(AKA: "Expensive")

The green Diamondwood covers are nice. So too the NS bolsters.
Though truth to tell, The standard brass bolsters are mighty nice, too, and are not as much a "smudge and fingerprint magnet" as the NS is on the 110 and 112 I have with NS bolsters.

I personally don't need or want the opening stud.

Thanks, but I'll stick with the time proven, "recruit proof", and strong backlock.

"If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it."

Both production versions, a Collectors Club Sample, and a Wild Bill Cody prototype. Not selling, just showing.

I seen one just sell over 300.00

totally worth it I suppose. Pretty cool.

Im sure it didnt replace the lock back. Since it was done some time ago and we still have the lock back. Just another cool interpretation of the 110.

I checked an we made just over 300 of them in 1997 and 1998. Larry is correct in that they were practically handmade. The original sales flyer shows a plastic thumbstud but we ended up using a knurled screw on type. They were all supposed to be engraved "Limited Production 1997" but most were shipped without the engraving.
A great find!

Me too.

Meh........

I think most people go to the 110 because they don't trust and don't like linerlocks.

I'll stick with the real thing.

I think the knife was created to be a collectable. So that's what it has become. I doubt many use it but who knows.

I bought my first Buck, a 110. Because the pivot on my liner lock Schrade, had in about 6 months time, gotten so loose I no longer trusted it. It cost me $22. Which was a lot of money for an 18 year old kid making $2.20 an hour. I'm with you, I don't need a liner lock 110.

I've never heard of a backlock wearing out.

It is possible to wear out a back lock, but it takes a lot of use to do so. I've done it. I think @eveled reported wearing one out also.

O.B.

 

[Makael]

I don't think there is any plan to do away with the lock back and switch to a liner lock from 20 years ago. Lol
I wouldn't use one either but would like to have one.

Even if you guys wanted to go that way it's a hard knife to find,
