I had some time on my hands so I decided to put together all the 110 variations I've collected. They include the progression of the basic 110 over time as well as all the take-offs. The left column is the historic progression from top to bottom. The remaining knives are take-offs and customs.
 
hi mike nice collection thanks for sharing:thumbup:
question on the 560 is that a gold blade and blue in the holes ? whats the story ?
and on the 110 with the thumbstud do the scales have to be cut out ? i hadnt thought of that
nice knives though and great to have them in a group shot :thumbup:
 
Thanks Buckman. Glad you enjoyed the photo! :D

This was a prototype for the 560 that Buck put out. As I believe Joe Houser told it, the gold plated blade was put out in a blind test with a variation of their real blade coating. The gold plate was never intended for distribution other than the test. I'm not sure why they went with Blue in the holes, but I think it looks cool and would love to see it on a user.

The 110 with the thumbstud is a liner lock version of the 110, which I believe was only produced for one year.

Andy,
That's a custom 110 with stag scales, finger grooves, BG42 steel and nickel silver bolsters. I had them inscribe my initials and the year on the blade, which I've been doing with any custom that I order.

sorry about that mike and cool hand i stand corrected not long after i posted that i remembered mike saying he signed them and i looked and sure enough i spotted a couple but i never caught the bg42 or the fg and i checked the pic again and you can faintly see the fg but cant tell about the blade so ya gota have a sharp eye
 
Nice Stuff Mike!!!!! :thumbup:

Is the Very top one left one of the no scale pin inverted tang stamp two liners?
I couldn't quite tell in the photo if it does or doesn't have scale pins.

And are you still looking for some of the different 560's?

Rat,
The very top one on the left is a first version 110 from 1964. The tang stamp is on the right side of the blade (face down) and It has pins. If you look close, the second one from the top has the stamp on the left side and is a 2nd version. I'm still looking for a black and perhaps a gray 560 if I can find them in new condition at a fair price. I'm not in any hurry though. :D
