This 2-dot just arrived today. I found it on eBay about a week ago. It just got here from Eastern Pennsylvania. It's probably 1978 or 79 per the history website from what I can tell. It's in fantastic condition and appears to have seen very little use at all. In fact, I'm not sure if the blade has ever been sharpened since the original edge. The dark dark Ebony inserts are just beautiful. I love the fine grained ebony of these older 110's. (My late 70's 2-dot 112 is the same).

The belt pouch also appears to match this period according to the history website. It's a thicker leather and in good shape for nearly 50 years old. It's a bit dry and stiff so before using it I'm going to treat it with Obenauf's when it arrives.

It was tarnished so I spent about 20 minutes with Flitz and it's looking great now. The blade is straight and tight and has great snap.
