MICHAEL5135 - Yes the 111 was discontinued a few years back. Your knife was one of the last production run of 111's which they did with that etch such as yours has.
Here is an old thread on the 111 and when Buck may have ended production.
Thanks Armand, Happy Easter to all. It's tough navigating the new format for this old dog. I like the 118 and this is my newest, and first 5160 bladed Buck.
Beautiful pictures thank you for your help everyone. The one I have is also an auto. I also have a few other 111's and I wanted to make sure I did not sell them.
Mine is serialized different than yours. Plus when I used the stand a little of the blade markings rubbed off. It seems like the blade has a decal the same picture as yours Haebbie.
Well, Michael, I think your knife is a prototype. The etching is not perfect and the serializing is different to the form Buck used for the whole edition.
Also the background of the engraving is coloured with gold. Congratulations.
Picked up a little 55 for myself today, to ride along with my 112. Been fiddling around with her all day, handy little knife. Waiting on a near mint pre '81 503 to show up in the mail this week. Can't seem to upload pics from my phone, says the files are too large or something. Great SPS so far!

These are the 3 Buck knives I have so far, the one in the middle is from 1988 so I think it has the 425 steel.....I want to add the 119 to my collection next.
