My 110 is on its way back...

muphasta - Nice find and now a great looking knife. I hope you enjoy it in the future.

USN 1965-1989. Started out as a CTR but ended up as and retired as a CTA. Long story but the short story is an ear infection in both ears in 1967, tinny ears afterwards, and rating conversion afterwards.

Funny how many CTs we find!! Where were you stationed? I was in Iceland, Germany, then San Diego. I work w/a guy who went in in '69 and was stationed in Scotland in '70 I think.

C.; USS Ranger (CV 61) NAS Coronado, CA; NAVSECGRUDEPT Imperial Beach, CA; Navy Courier Service, San Diego, CA and a few others. After the Navy - NASSCO and then San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E).

Back on topic - Are you carrying your knife daily, weekends, ?????

Actually, I can't bring myself to carry it now!

I found a Kershaw Leek at a pawn shop while on travel to VA in Sept that I carry. It was $13 and the scales were banged up. This 110 looks too nice for me to carry now! Call me weird, but I can't bring myself to even get a thumb print on it.

what years were you:
in Scotland
on the Ranger

My cousin was on the ranger, but late 80s.

If I needed to carry a lighter, it would be a Zippo. I only have one of the 4-5 I ever purchased. it is from the USS Port Royal, the only ship I was ever on while in the navy. 9 full days at sea.
yes, 9 days at sea in 9 years of service!

I don't blame you for not wanting to carry it. It's a fine looking knife.
