Can anyone tell me more about this 118? I just got this in trade deal. This has the green/brown micarta scales but is not the upgraded steel "Pro" version. Is this a rare bird? A unique prototype?

I also have a 103 and 105 with the same micarta scales, but regular steel. I am really curious as to the background of these varieties!

Wow, good grab. Those were part of our pilot runs for all of the 100 series in the micarta/S35VN. We never released them except at the Factory Sale. If memory serves me right there was less than 100 sold during that Father's Day Factory Sale.

Does the 100 sold refer to the total of all 100 series knives or to 100 for each model?

Hmm, I have one of those, can't remember who or how. Might have been DOGPOUND77 DOGPOUND77 ?
Glad to know the fact surrounding it's development and existence. Thanks Matt Buck Knives Inc. Buck Knives Inc.

I would love one of these in S35VN. I thought I read in a prior thread somewhere that the 420HC version was a prototype for the S35VN run a few years ago that I missed out on?
