111 classics

Your top model has a 426 blade in the handle. Along with a 3 dot & 4 dot. That's nice. My favorite is the 500. DM
 
This one is my only Like New In Box safe queen. All my other knives are users

Every time I look at a 111 with its tooled sheath I hear “ Like a Rhine stone cowboy”. Playing in my head

People today are clamoring for a thin model with aluminum handles and here Buck offered several 38 years ago. Perhaps do a short run of these without
the nice stamping, for a user. Huh,-- I've been carrying mine for years and a 110 will disappear in my back pocket. DM

prefer a run today with the fancy stamping. just different enough so the old and new dont get confused. without the stamping I'd prefer the slims myself.
 
I have a user 111 I pocket carry when I wear a suit. It is a pleasure to carry it.
 
Possibilities-- yes. But several of those did not come with the V52 Selector. I've made several blades for mine ( both the first 2 blade 426 handle and the latter V52) because I like the idea of changing a blade out. It gives so much flexibility. I rarely find a Classic at a show. Finding the sheath for it is even rarer. Apparently people liked both and hang on to them. DM
 
The 4 in the middle are regular factory blades which I modified to be Selectorish. Also the non-slotted blades will work in a knife with a screw in the pivot.

OH, he likely got a 426 blade and had it installed in the 111 Classic handle. The blade came out in 1985 before the year date stamp and is likely 425M steel. They were first seen in the Buck lites handle. I never thought that drop point had the eye appeal and design that the Selector skinner blades have. Still, interesting history and Buck's first drop point for a 110. DM
