I guess this is my week for acquiring strange 110's. First the one in the thread that has the nickel silver blade pivot pin, and now this one that has been "curved" for lack of better term.

It is a two dot two scale pin 110 that has been made into a large version of a 501.

Short of the fact that it has been an obvious user, it is very professionally done and all the edges, angles and curves are perfectly symmetrical. If Buck was ever to have produced one of these it could be this one, as nice as and symmetrical as the grinds are.... Minus the use dings and scratches.

I displayed it with another same era 110 for comparison.

If you can get into my photobucket from these pic links, there are 12 pics of it. Hope the pics show it ok. Is quite interesting.

This last pic makes it look as if the butt end of the knife is ground at an angle. It is just the camera angle..
 
:) ...I saw that one up fer sale there rodent...Does the blade show signs of a radius where it joins to the lockbar as well?...It seems the lockbar itself is radiused also. I do know a way that could be done quite easily with the right equipment. That actually is "kine" nice looking from my perspective...Nice snag...:thumbup:

No, The Blade is as normal.

Yeah, I was leery about grabbing it, but glad I did. Quite unique

And yes, the whole spine of the lock bar has been rounded. Kind of seamless as you run a finger over the back.
 
I've got a plain jane 110 with a BG42 blade upgrade, now I've got thoughts of rounding it up like this. It would sure give better access to a OAB stud.

Can you tell us??? I'd like to know... :eek: It is certainly different... :cool: :thumbup:

I'd be interested in the camera and lens, too! :D
 
The camera is a Sony digital that used the mini disc. MVC CD400...I think it is a 3 or 4 MP ..Has the macro close up mode. If you think you have a knife all polished up nice and purty, just take a closeup of it and you will go back to the polishing cloth. makes me crazy :rolleyes:

Actully I shot these in 640x480 . Camera has 1280x960, 1600x1200, and 2272x1704 res settings.
I used photobucket on these. Have to use Image shack to put them up in higher res settings.

I shot the other 110 with the strange pivot pin in 1600x1200 I believe. when you click on one of those it takes you to image shack and then you can click it again. Makes a screen full.
 
:eek: :eek: ...Oh my...Gotta send the kid out fer a job to help me get one o' them there cameras...LMBO...Great pics tho...:p :thumbup: :thumbup:

LOL.... I wouldn't buy this high powered job if I had it to do over. Can't see much of a need for anything over 3 mega pixels. But do need the closeup capabilities. :thumbup:
 
:thumbup: ...It's that "macro" setting you have that's doing the trick. Great pics. I could do it with my old Minolta XD-11 35mm SLR and the 300 mm with macro...but then I have to wait til I get 'em developed. Gotta love that digital thingie...LOL...:thumbup: :thumbup:

Yeah, instant digital is the way to go, but ,,, This thing will never compare to the old Nikkormat FT and all the cool attachies. Reversing ring, couple of closeup rings, wide angle, doubler, 300mm zoom,

I haven't looked lately at slr digitals, but would trade this mess in a heartbeat if there was a nikon digital that would handle all my old lenses. I don't care what the cost. :rolleyes: well,,, maybe...

So, has anyone ever seen or heard of a curvy or rounded 110 like this one?
 
...We used to do that where I worked years ago rodent...I wasn't into knives like I am now but some of the guys were. They had all the equipment you'd need to do it easily. Six inch belt sander, live enters to mount the knives and materials to create dogs to match the radii on the knives. I know that we did some Bucks and some LB-7's that way. As most of the guys were on piecework at the time, the modification time would begin after everyone had made their "money" for the day ( or night as it was 3rd shift )...It musta took all of maybe 2 hours to grind in the radii and finish off the buffing to make it look like new. Nice to have unlimited tools and equipment at your disposal. It would take me ages just to find the stuff needed to do it now. You have a nice piece there rodent...
 
...just thinking about way back "when" and I recall those guys putting together boat trailers for themselves out of material in the outdoor stock bins that had been out there so long it looked blood red from the rust. All they brought from home was their lunch boxes and they'd go home with a boat trailer behind their cars...LOL...took 'em all of 4 hours to put one together. Maybe that's where all the company's profits went...

I think there is a joke about a wheelbarrow......

Thanks for the descript on the tools. I knew I should have taken that machinist job right of high school. I might have a boat trailer by now <G>

Would love to watch someone making a mod like this one. Work facinates me! I can stand around and watch it for hours! :D

I feel the value of this knife going up by the minute :D I may even get busy here and start polishing out some of the scratches. maybe,,, but that sounds like work. :eek:
 
:D :cool: ...LOL...Those were the days of "manual" labor tho...These days everything is done by "robots" and computers. The days of making a boat trailer at work are long gone and are nothing but "raw material" to tell the kids stories about now...LMAO...:p :rolleyes: :eek:
 
...Forgot to ask ya...Are the pins and rivets ground down flush with the scales on that 110 and do they appear to have the same radius ground into 'em??...
