I'd like to pick up my first 110. I know I can pick one up for Walmart for <$30.
I was checking out the custom site, and they have a very nice blue wood available. But, in just the basic configuration (brass, rivets, blue wood handle, cordura sheath), the price is $78. Plus a 4 week wait. Almost 3x the cost of a plain Jane 110 from Walmart, with the only difference being the wood.
I really like the look of the blue wood, and don't need better steel, etc. - are there any other alternatives?
Can you dunk the knife in RIT dye, or use a wood stain on the wood? (I've dyed several spyderco FRN knives to get a better color).
Price isn't really an issue, but it's more of a principle thing. Doesn't appear to be anything different except for the wood.
