Has anyone put these into 110's yet? Pics and impression if done?

Would love to see some pics if you have. Pondering yet another version that I would like to have worked up and the 486 blade would be sweet for a user.
 
yes i had leroy put one in a 110 for me for atlanta last year
it works great ,
the thumb nob is not to short and is long enough to use
i have not used the blade.. this was a demonstration of feasability..
the blade looks at to be as usefull as a normanl drop point..
and does seem to be thicker towards the point because of no clip.
if it were to be production the handle could
be eased or notched like the liner lock was for its thumb-stud..
personally.. i think that blade would be one really really

BIG big seller as CS option in 420HC
re-stamped as a Buck Custom of course
 
There is currently a 110 with a 486 blade, done by ArksKnives, on the bay with a photo if you wish to take a look.
 
Yes, I have done several. The thumbstud is a little close to the liners but it works. The next size down fits great in a 112. I think it's the 482?

Eric,
Now that looks nice!

Need to ponder how I would want one worked up.

Can you put thumb notches in the back of the blade? I know their steel is hard to work.
 
Eric nice stag, really like that drop point. I can see that I am going to have to start buttering up the wife, lets see what is coming up...;) :) HL
