Yeah Trax, the recent 111 looks like a larger 55. In fact, I wonder why the 55 is called a little 110 when, well, it looks like a 111. Could also never figure why Buck just didn't renumber it as something else instead of recycling the 111 designation. There are 999 diff posible combos w/o adding another digit. Ain't chinese math.

Speaking of chinese math, the diff between 111 and 110 is "1".

Sirusly, I don't know for certain all the tech detail. Do know that the bolsters are diff. Never seen one IRL so I can't say much more. Other Knife Knerds will chime in I'm certain.

I will try to post a pic of the Yellowhorse 111 I just purchased.
Beats me but it looks like a 110 but the COA etc says 111
