It came very nicely packaged.

Indigo blue handle scales, they really look more green than blue, with nickle silver bolsters and pins. Drop point blade and a little engraving to make it more personal. The color of the scales isnt really what i expected but i am still really happy with it, luckly i really like the color.
I would say fit and finish is perfect and the brown leather distressed sheath is nicer than i expected. I will be very proud to carry this one. :thumbup:. The folks at Buck are doing a great job and i could not be happier with my new every day carry knife.

Jim, a handsome 110. Glad you're happy with it. When you cut something, let us know how it works. DM

I sure will. I hit the ground running this morning, lots to do, and my stock 110 was already belted to my pants so i havent actually put the new one to work. Tomorrow morning however i can promise you than there will be a drop point 110 in a brown leather sheath on my belt.

Very nice, Classy look. Enjoy. I really like the distressed leather sheath.
 
I'm glad to see Indigo blue. I think it's a great color for a 110. Looks great, enjoy!
 
That is a very nice knife. I love the color. It looks like my favorite jeans.
 
It is almost identical to one of mine, right down to being engraved, but mine is older, back when you could only get the standard blade style. I've got a matching 503.
 
Amazing! Glad to see they now offer the indigo blue on the 110.

Jim,

That looks great. I have a 503 in the same blue. Here is my first custom 110. I love it. The drop point is just outstanding.

Thanks guys, i am really happy with it. Ed, yours looks really nice as well.

I am still loving you new custom shop 110 but am pretty disappointed to find that the beautiful brown sheath that I ordered with it is tarnashing the nickle silver bolsters. One of the reasons I went with nickle silver was no more need for Brasso and polishing. Does anyone have experiance with this and or a solution.
