Folks, I am wondering if any of you could help me out? A good buddy is getting to retire soon after 29 years. We served in the Marines together and he’s the reason I moved out West. We’ve worked together at our current job for over 28 years. He’s been a good hunting and fishing buddy during that time so I wanted to have a custom shop Buck made for him. I’ve settled on either a 110 or 112 with Nickel silver bolsters and Elk handles. What I’m asking, does anyone have a 110/112 with and without rivets with elk handles they’d be willing to post side by side so I could see how they actually looked? Thanks if you can.
 
Just posting so that I can see the pictures that get posted. I am also curious to see some examples. I loved the nickel silver and elk on the forum knives a few years back.

Unfortunately, I don't have any custom shop 110s or 112s to post, but just for some semi-relevant knife content, here is a couple of the forum knives.

315 315 I don't think you can go wrong either way. Being smaller than the 110 I think with horn or antler it looks best without rivets.

Here are a couple of links to threads dedicated to the 112. You'll have to put time in looking at a lot of wonderful 112s but it might help if no one can post the comparison photo you want.

There's been a lot of chatter and interest in the 112 lately. I highly encourage you to post in the other current 112 threads. This thread isn't as specific. Thought I'd give a platform to this cool, compact lock blade that isn't quite as popular on the open market as its big brother, but has...

Say no to rivets on antler handles. They look better without the rivets. IMHO

Thanks fellas, I’ve cruised through a lot of pictures and I think you’re right. No rivets it is.
