I don't have words to describe the degree of sharpness. It is a brilliantly sharp edge, like broken glass, can cut you without you feeling it.
The Rosewood is rich, warm and fitted into the frame like a hand in a glove. The blade has the flame/BOS etch along with "CPM 154" just below it (this etch grouping is ever so slightly sinking into the brass pivot bolster and the opposite side of the blade etch grouping, "BUCK 110< USA", is ever so slightly tilted clockwise).

I sure like the looks of it. There is very very little evidence of shaving at the bolsters and that small spot is BOS side of the knife at the lock. It has a deep rich color that looks alive and strong.
This is a well made knife. I am happy with it.
I hope that watersculptor gets a couple as nice as this one.
And thanks for interpreting 110 Dave's call for pics. I'm beginning to understand his poetic banter.
Just received mine in the mail today. Beautiful knife...was giving it a look over and noticed blemishes on the steel (the part which you press on in order to close/fold the blade). It almost seems that the steel is rubbing against the inner surface of the bolsters ( I can hear a slight grating sound when closing the knife). Is that normal?
Otherwise the knife is awesome. The box it came in has a date of 10-12-2010. I'm assuming that's the date of manufacture?

Congratulations on your outstanding acquisition. You have good taste in cutlery.
Knives with beaucoup metal, like all factory built 110s, get a good cleaning from me in order to get any polishing material out of the handle. I use 70% rubbing alcohol, Qtips, painter's tape, car wax and some compressed air (think computer duster).
I tape the open blade with at least one layer of the blue painter's tape for my own safety. With adequate ventilation, pour the alcohol into the knife and work it open and closed (it helps to have a volunteer do the pouring while you work the knife. Get into the knife with a flattened (beat it with a hammer till it is flat) Qtip. Repeat the pouring. Remove any un-evaporated alcohol with blasts of air. Clean with more Qtips. Some food grade mineral oil into the moving parts dripped from a bent paper clip. Work the knife. Clean with a quality cloth. Remove the tape from the blade. Carnuba, car wax, on the blade. You're done. And, you've gotten to know the knife.

I find that Dave is much easier to understand after a couple of shots of 140 Rum.
