I have recently purchased a 110 made in the factory with one side made from Lucite. It was marketed as a salesman's knife built to show the inner workings of the Buck Lockback mechanism. Does anyone know how many of these knives were made? In the last edition of Levine's Guide, it says none had been sold to date, so no value was assigned.

Thanks in adv ance for any and all responses,

That sounds cool. Can you post a photo? The Buck factory had a pretty cool display board that showed how a 110 was assembled. It had 110's in various stages of build.
 


not too rare, have see many (5or 6) on ebay in last 2 years on ebay, and at knife showes all thoes showing 110's have them and last year ave was about 50$ sale this year going up higher it seams, figure that many sales men and rep's had them,
humm...contrast that to that only one buck 124 with scradeed edge has shown up on ebay and it went for about 300! and only a total of about 7 pre 1960 knives this past year!

Just moving this thread up to see if I get any more responses. Someone form the factory maybe?

There were not a lot of those knives made. I would take an educated guess at less than 100. In my opinion, that is a very nice number. We are talking about the 110 after all.
A few years back i saw Bernard Levine sell one that Chuck Buck gave him. If memory serves me correctly, it went for over $300. That particular knife had some special history to it obviously but I still think you would be paying close to $200 for a mint one today. I could be all wet but thats my opinion.
