Buck 110 Auto w/orange G10 scales

[Mr. Tettnanger]

I really want to pick one of these up. I assume that these were a limited edition/short run? I don't see them for sale anywhere, or m y Goggle-Fu is weak.

Did the have the standard blade steel or were they an upgraded steel like S30V like the Buck 110 Elite with black G10? I saw old posts on here that list them as 420HC

Thanks!

Is your blade labeled S30V?

 

[Lesknife]

yes it has the s30v blade 110 auto Elite. Im thinking there were only 5 or so like that and some with regular 420hc. They were in the factory sale back then. The 110 Elite with orange g10 is very hard to find.

I had picked up a S30V from Makael a couple of years ago. They were etched S30V. I think he may have picked them up from the Buck sale.

There was also a run of the same knife, but with 420HC done for an employee-owned outfitter store that had them available online for quite some time. I noticed that they no longer have it on their website as of last month.
