Sorry for the delay! Well, I received my Cabelas exclusive Buck 110 Alaskan Guide. Very impressed! The knife has all the great features of the 110 yet offers a big upgrade in materials. The S30V blade is lightning sharp out of the box, and the black coating appears to be bonded to the steel like an ultra deep blueing on a fine revolver. I love the BOS S30V stamping and the Cabelas guide series emblem is well done. Lock up is tight, no blade play in any direction and it folds up with perfect centering. Im not sure if the scales are a different wood than the standard modern box store 110's but they are much more red or cherry in color than my other 110's. Overall this is a magnificent lock back and Im very happy with it. Even the sheath sppears to be much higher quality than my others. Have not figured out pics on this forum yet sorry. Thanks for looking!
