I'm curious about the titanium handled knives thar Buck produced. I have tried searching on here, and have found very little info. Was the model 186 the same as the 560? I read one post that said the 186 was only made in 1986. How many different colors were made, and when were they discontinued? If a discussion on this already exists, please point me in the right direction. Thanks! Photos are welcome.
 
Here are some threads with good info:

Thread 'Buck 560 Production Dates and Variations'

Anyone know the production dates for the 560, or is it still being made? Also, are there any variations or were all 560's pretty much the same? Thanks in advance.

Thread 'Buck 560 Difference'

I've been doing research but can anyone tell me the difference between a 560 Titanium and a Titanium crystal? I've read the previous post about not being a great knife but still would like one in the collection.

Thread 'Buck XLT-Ti Crystal B560-WC-0 aka 110T'

I just got my Buck XLT-Ti Crystal B560-WC-0 a/k/a 110T and like it very much. I have a few questions and comments. First, I should say it came sharp. Slices paper in both directions and will easily shave hairs. Considering that the blade is marked 110T, I think it is also fair to call it a 110Ti model ;) although the T may just be a coincidence and stand for a date code??

The blade action feels a little rough, I guess because the blade is right against the Titanium, without any other bearing surface. Is this normal? Since it is not a takedown model, it would be a little hard to slip...
