This is a 110 that I bought with a broken blade and paid to have an ATS-34 balde put in, but I didn't bother to keep the date code off the original blade, so I don't know exactly when it was made, other than it does have the newer contoured bolsters.

Look like Macassar Ebony??

That would be my guess. I believe it was used up until around 1992.

Thanks Tom, you've actually held this knife. I remember showing it to you with the broken blade just after I bought it in Mt Vernon at the knife show!
 
I do remember you getting that knife. I have always liked the older 110's with the ebony handles.

That looks very similar to one from 1992 that I had with a broken blade that I sent in and they replaced it with an S30V blad they had on hand. Looks like macasar ebony to me.

Thanks, that is one I got a great deal on, $10 or $15 for the knife in like new condition except for the blade tip snapped off, $35.00 for the ATS-34 blade from the Custom Shop and bingo, "semi-custom" for around $50.00! :D
 
They should be, that is one reason that I like them. The other reason is the 440C blade. Every time I show mine to someone they all comment on how it is heavier than a new one. I just need to find some that I have seen in all of the fantastic pictures that have been displayed. THANK YOU ALL for the pictures, it gives me some thing to do besides having a private knife show, or tackling someone to show them to at times.:D:D
 
You may enjoy looking at this one then. It's a like new three-line inverted stamp with the macasar ebony scales and 440C steel.

The unique thing about that knife is the stamp. There weren't too many three liners made that are read point down.
 
I thought they did not do blade swaps anymore? Can I still do this with an old 110, and say put on a new S30V like Mike had done?
