Just ordered my first 110 from PCKS -- the jigged waterbuffalo with damascus. However, i've been notified that the damascus is out of stock. I'm kind of torn between waiting or changing the blade to BG-42. Either would be fine, but I prefer the looks of the damascus. I don't really need another knife right away, so unless the wait's going to be outrageously long, I'll probably just stick with the damascus. But you know how it is when you order a new knife. You'd love to have it yesterday.;)

If visual is what you are looking for I'd wait.

I copied this to the store for a little extra follow up...

I appreciate that. I'll certainly be carrying and using it, but damascus isn't much more expensive than the BG-42, and it certainly looks a lot cooler.

i have one with BG42, this steel is great, i have not sharpened it in over a year and it still shaves, and i use it almost every day. Great steel and a great knife.
 
I agree with CJ that if its aesthetics you want, the Damascus will be worth the wait. I checked and the blades have just been stamped so they are moving through the shop.
 
CJ and Joe,

Thanks for the follow-up. I'll definately wait for the damascus. In my opinion, the waterbuffalo is the handle material the damascus looks best with, anyway. BG-42, while a great material, looks good with about anything, so I'll save it for my next 110.;)

The illusive Damascus is hard to get hold of.

The first knife I ordered was for my Dad. It had that same textured waterbuffalo and the bolsters were nickle. devastating. I wanted it in Damascus, but ended up settling on BG-42 when the wanted blade was not to be had.

But He is happy. so I am happy!

When is it safe to order one for me in damascus ; Joe, CJ?

The knife was waiting for me when I got home today! I stayed with the original order with the damascus blade. Looks great. Wasn't that sharp out of the box, but a couple of minutes with the Sharpmaker and it was scary sharp. Ordered it on 1/8 and received it on 2/5. Not bad, considering the damascus was out of stock when the order was placed. Thanks Buck!

Darn. I ordered one on 1/6, and still haven't gotten it yet. Maybe it just takes longer to ship to PA!

Glad to know the damascus is back in stock. How about posting a picture?
