Hi Pat! Welcome to the forums.
I'm not sure what the knife is from, hopefully Joe or someone can tell you. Buck has (although it's currently down) a custom shop, where Buck 110's can be made with different blade materials (BG-42, damascus, etc.) and different handle materials (mother-of-pearl (MOP on the forums) cherrywood, indigo royalwood etc.). As far as I know, no Buck 110's are available at the shoppe with all metal scales (handles). The bolsters (metal or brass portions of the handle at each end of the handle, one on the blade pivot and the other on the lock lever area) are metal, but that's about it. The only possibility that comes to my mind is that it's just a custom modification that someone made (people do it all of the time, from guys like Vincent (unknownvt) putting cool jigged scales on a swiss army knife (SAK) to someone's Benchmade AFCK that I just saw with nice wooden handles.)
Again, maybe Joe Houser or someone else has more information. Sorry for all of the parenthesis and explanations, I know it's hard to read through, but I figured it might help if you see some abbreviations and terms that you might not know yet so you don't sit there thinking we're all insane

Pat,
It seems to me that you may have acquired a pewter handled special project that was done in the early to mid-1980s. A companion knife with a deer scene was also produced. The two knives came in an oak display box with slide-out hard plastic sides for viewing the two different scenes on each side of the knife. I cannot remember exactly, but I think the distributor named one of them "deer country" and the other "eagle mountain". I could be wrong on the names. The two will usually sell in the $125 - $150 range, each if in new condition. I sometimes see them at knife shows or on eBay and often, the display box is missing. If the knife is obviously more heavy than a standard 110, you can be fairly certain the inlays are pewter. I have one of each knife at home but I have not looked at them for some time. I think the deer scene may have a log cabin on one of the inlays and the eagle scene has a large mountain in the background of one of the inlays. Hope this helps you make a positive identification.
By the way, joining the Buck Collectors Club will provide you with very informative newsletters and access to our website. Both are loaded with helpful info regarding Buck knives.
