Yesterday I recieved my brand new 110 with the 2011 stamp. :thumbup::thumbup:
Comparing it with my 1993 25th ann.NS 110, the 1996 112, the 2001 560XLT and the 2009 Ecolight 110, it struck me that the Ecolite and the new 2011 have a stronger point than the other older three.
On the newer ones, the 2011 is the strongest, the taper begins halfway at the swedge as with the others the taper begins at the beginning of the swedge.
Thus creating a stronger point. The taperangle at the pont is larger at the new ones so there is more steel at the point making it stronger and less prone to breaking.
Leftside 2011 and rightside 1993
This 2011 110 is a fine knife, no play, even grinds and after Lanskying it at 17° it shaves like hell.
It came with a black leather sheath but I use the cordura that came with the ecolite for horizontal carry .
Anyone noticed this also, did I miss a thread or was this even official?
Nice feature and a major improvement IMHO.
Thanks,
Math.
