Got my 3 110's back and very impressed. They look like 3 new knives. The only problem was that one of the blades was supposed to be replaced instead of re-sharpened but it still looks great. If I ever have to send other knives back Joe will make it right and get the blade replaced.
I am very impressed with what a great job they did on all 3 knives. here are some links to the before/after

I wanted to update this post now that DestertChris helped me figure out how to post the actual photo vs a link..

Thanks Chris... they look so nice I hate to use them LOL but I will make sure they get some "work time" even if it is just opening boxes etc. ;)
 
Heck yeah, use them :)
I personally have bought most of mine as user knives. I have a few I am keeping new in box as collector knives, but just a few so far :)
 
Very Nice. Those two dotters are sweet. Buck really perfected the 110 recipe with those. Users or lookers you have some very fine knives.
 
Thanks all. I am pleased... I have more knives than I will ever need (and flashlights ) but I guess there can be much worse things I can spend my money on.. The 110 is my favorite as they bring back memories. I remember watching Bo and Luke Duke wearing them and that is when it all started.;-)
 
That's very nice! Just a tip: a bit of Flitz on a rag will clean the bolsters up nice in between trips to the spa.

Thanks.. I currently use a car wheel polish (blue paste, forget the name offhand) that works well too but almost out and will try the Flitz next as I hear good things about it..

They all look nice, but your early two dot looks fantastic!!

Thanks Stumps, the only thing I do not like about my two dot is that the prior owner smoothed/rounded the bolsters so its radiused like the newer style. I like the new style but wanted my two dot to be in the original design but it still looks great..
I have a bid on another two dot that has the sharp lines to it on the bolsters.

I didn't even notice that, its so well done it looks factory. It appears to be radiused by the lock bar as well.

Flitz is pretty gentle and works really well for light polishing. I bought a large tube of it for $20 online over a year ago. A very small amount is all that's needed and it polishes things right up.

Hi, Joe at Buck commented on the nice job that was done as well. He said it could have been done at their factory at one time or the prior owner just did that good of a job. I guess it makes it a little but unique.
