This may be old news to some of you, but it took awhile to dawn on me. I was just talking to David Martin and he mentioned the difference in the way the pouch on a sheath for the 111 is cut compared to the one for a 110.

It appears that the top of the pouch for the 111 is cut down to compliment and follow the curved bolsters on the 111. I can't see any other explaination. They (111 sheaths) are the only ones I have that are shaped like that.

Well I guess I have to dig through the boxes (and pick em up after they fall :mad:) to check mine out.

I deal with this except there are now about 25 more boxes precariously perched and any time I move one, 7-10 fall:( Gotta clean that up one of these days:)

Yep. I bought 6 or 7 of the 111 buildouts on the 'bay a while back. They all came with sheaths just like that. Sort of a nice touch, I think.
 
I just recently got one and noticed it . Thanks to Plumber . Also, look at the flap as its not pointed like a std. 110 sheath instead its rounded . So, Buck changed a few items on this model as it was supposed to be a up grade . Nice photos Plumber . DM

Yeah DM, its actually more her room. It was her nursery/bedroom until she was old enough to move upstairs. Now its the computer room, gun cabinet/knife box shelf, gym(treadmill) and general junk room. Amazing, all that in an 8X10 room.:)

I don't know, but I'm sure you could find out by contacting the club. Here's some more. I just really like the 111's style.

Dave, The lower one has the ID. 2005 stamp and serial number . The top knife has neither ? Both nice knives . DM
 
Dave, In your photo #12 post those first two knives the bottom one is Ironwood .
Buck did those as LE's for Cabela's and some of them will have a 'Grand Opening'
etch on the blade . A short run for that stores Grand Opening . I've seen some, even held one which a member has . Nice photos . DM
 
Guys, I had to discuss this further . I found another sheath like the 111's . It came with the early 137 Sharpening Steel . It has the top cut at a slant, folded, stitched on one side and square on the bottom . Any body else have one ? DM
 
The added touches to the new sheath look good but reduce its function a lot in m y opinion.I am left handed ,and carry my 110 on my left side,with that 111 sheath,you need to carry on the right side to have it function like it was designed.Its a right handed world our there,LOL,I'd have a hard time getting used to left side carry with a sheath like that.

The best leather sheaths built for actual use by anyone was the low rider old 2 dot style 110 sheaths,built to last,and be used by anyone.Nice knives though,lol
 
Thanks Haebbie . Notice the 137 is stamped at the top of this sheath . I've seen very few other sheaths stamped in this manner . DM
 
I actually prefer the 111 to the 110. Too bad that just as I discovered the 111, they quit making them. :(
