Wasabi...

As Dave H stated, that is an Ion Fusion. Or, "BuckCote".
I have two 110 Cotes'. One is still in a box with the stickers and papers and the other is one of my EDC knives. It's wicked sharp.

Also have a 119 with that technology.

Here is a link to a thread that may be helpful. It also has a pic of the pamphlet of how to sharpen it: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4765047#post4765047

The top one is in my EDC rotation:

THE TOP ONE!!!!!


Oh I have a couple of those Buckcote ionfusions, they rock

Collectible... To some!
Valuable? They are worth a little more than a standard 110, but I wouldnt say that they are the top dollar seller...
