My best old Buddy haunts a local gun shop and earlier today he called me. He said that the shop had let some of their regulars bring in stuff they wanted to sell (no guns) and that there was some muzzleloader stuff for sale. I had him pick me up a couple of powder flasks, percussion caps and a box of round balls for my revolver, all for a song. Sort of a gun shop garage sale.
He brought out all the stuff an hour or so ago and as a surprise, he brought me a pretty well used 3 dot 110 he picked up for $15. It came with a generic black belt sheath (not Buck) but what caught my eye right off was the knot in the ebony. It's difficult to get to show up in a photo, but I believe you can see it. It was more obvious before I rubbed the scales down with Old English wood treatment oil thinking that would make it show up better. I have no idea if that's common or not, but I've checked quite a few of my others and none have any sign of a knot in the wood. The knife has been abused a bit but it's tight and I've seen worse.
Do you think it's worth a trip to the spa? I have an extra sheath or two that are correct for that model.
