Could someone please post some comparison pics of the 110 next to an open season pro 557 folding skinner.

I really like these Open Season knives.
The 557 is lighter than a typical 110.
About the same size. I really like the thumb disk placement.
The 557 is easily opened with one hand.
I had the redwood version, sent it back and got the pro. It's worth the extra money.
Very solid knife with the 2 stainless liners.

As you can see they are similar in size when closed.
I was worried the 557 may be big to carry, but actually the sheath is the same size as new 110 sheath.

Thank you gentlemen!
It gives me something to think on.
I use kwik thumbstuds on my 110's. And the blade profile of the 110 drop point appears to have a more acute point, and to be more nimble.

The 557 sheath doesn't have the belt loop like the 110. But it seems durable.

I can squeeze my 557 into a nylon 110 sheath, and have carried it that way.

Thanks.
I'm done. Lol

Yeah.
The 557 is more of a skinning knife.
Where as a person familiar with a 110 will always find it to be more agile.
A friend of mine that only owned 1 gun most of his life always said "be afraid of a man that only owns 1 gun compared to a guy that owns many. He knows how to shoot that one".
And he was an impressive shot too.
I guess that sorta applies to the 110. Especially when it does everything so well.....
But who wants just one?


The thumb disk really impresses me over the thumb studs I have tried on my 112/110.

Have a good last day of January all!

Wasn’t there a linerlock version of the Open Season at somepoint?
