Idea for new version of the 110 & 112....

After reading the thread on the workman with rubber scales I got to thinking about some things..... I like the idea of interchangeable scales.. How about a new updated version of the classic 110 and 112 for people, especially hunters, that want a modern? version of these knives..

110 & 112
Finger grooved
G-10 scales with torx or hex head screws
Brushed stainless steel bolsters ( helps with the finger prints )
ATS -34 or SV30 blade steel with or without black coating


After writing this I looked at it and realized I had just described a knife that seems more tactical, it wasn't meant to be... Just seems like a very practical version, and there seems to be a huge market for knives with similar features. Why not make it on one of the most durable knives ever made ?????

maybe SS bolsters.

I sure would buy one :D


Thats what I was thinking was SS.. Not sure why I put aluminum...
Maybe the wifes right, The old mind is slippin a little. I didn't think it would start at 46 though LOL
I went back and corrected it in the original... Thanks for the heads up.

Are the tolerances on a 110/112 frame from front to rear bolster and from top to bottom blade liner small enough from one knife to another to actually make interchangeable scales feasible??
 
I'm still hoping for my "ultimate" outdoors 110..

Titanium frame & bolsters
Blaze orange textured G-10 scales
ATS34 or s30v blade

PLEASE SANTA??????????? :D
 
not a bad idea but would it still really be a 110. part of the appeal of this pattern is the classic look and feel.

Yes. I've been able to swap scales from one [new style] 110 to another with no major problem. I say "no major" because the way I do things, there is always some minor variance - but I'm a home mangler; a manufacturer can hold a lot closer tolerances. ;)
 
It really worked for DAN WESSON. Grips sights,barrells,all interchangble.You could get a Pistole pac with 4 barrells 2 grips 2 sights in a really nice case. CJ, how about something like that for a run of 110s.....Mabe a "Dressy" scale,Personalized,work ect.....Out of the custom shop?? 299.99 including a extra sheath!
 
o me o my...what to do ...
ok now cover your key boards...
before you read or look any further...
you all know the rules as to what i cant do...
but you all know me well ...
but i can show you what you are asking for...
the other is not in the usa but this one is..


so what you think?

I could go a 110 with G-10 in different colors. Be easy to see maybe when field dressing a deer after dark. One you shot late and ran out of light, other than the headlights of the truck. (Just so you don't think I hunt illegally).

We already have all the premiun steels. S30V - Cabellas, 154 CPM Bass Pro, BG42 Buck Custom shop.

SS bolsters,,,well maybe, but can you sand and polish out the scratches every few years or so, if so inclined??

Interchangeable scales with torx screws... Maybe on that also, since the scales probably don't loosen up much if you use a little blue locktite. Least the ones on my alpha folders never have.

So, for me, some options of G-10 color scales would work. As well as a rubber handeled option. (I tried out Daves and liked it a lot)

But come to being able to change out a blade via some torx screw system like the alpha folders, the cutback, and Hilo, built into a 110 frame, I don't think so.

Any of the blade adjustable screw systems I have used have loosened up with time. Even the small 170 I used to carry a lot.

For me, I have never had a 110 blade go wobbly on me and I have one that I have used almost every hunting season since the mid 70's until I retired it a couple years ago with the purchase of the Cabellas AG.

A lighter TI frame built on the same 110 design might be nice. But here again, TI will get beat up and scratched up with use, and really hard to clean up all the scratches. At least for me.

As far as using a 560 frame for my deer processing, Been there tried that and the blade loosened up so fast it was scary. It actually made a clicking sound as I would make a cut that wasn't straight up and down.

So,,,more coffee and mulling this over ....thnking is too hard this early for and old person. :o

I think the custom shop BG42 with figi orange, NS, and FG for $88 will be my next 110 purchase and become a user.

Just babbling incoherently here....
 
Just went and looked at the custom shop list again... Real reasonable prices for a custom ordered knife.

yea buddy i know how thoes stray thoughts can follow you home!!
humm 560 loose!?!?! i had one and used it to cut carpet wire shave ply wood to fit reamed some pipe .. tight as my 110's
as to scratches , Ti dont scratch no more then brass or nickel.. imho
as to buffing the marks out ... a little more work but not that bad to do...
and it looks great... the part is you will loose the wire brushed look it come with... but i think it looks better when done...
i will clean this one up as you have seen it...
it might become a fund raiser donation to bring our buddy Haebbie here...

i would like to hear from the buckaroos in idaho if a rubber work scaled 110 might be offered...
