Received a few this week with one of special importance...
A couple of fish knifes, a future gift Shhhhhhhh. Breaking away from the LP theme.
Back to the LP theme. I recently had a conversation with my oldest son and we talked about a knife we could carry around the yard and be an all around good knife and we agreed the 639 would be a good choice. Low and behold a knife shows up on Clist for 7x10. After a couple price reductions paid a fin over half of that. No sheath or box but the seller put an excellent edge on the knife. Don't know if I want to keep for the youngest son (gift) or get a sheath and use for the emergency bag/etc. Wish they would bring this one back with some cool scales. Maybe I should save and customize...I digress.......

Now for a special weekend for my youngest son. Wife went to the store and called saying she just bought a knife for his confirmation. After a long pause I asked if she paid for it. Yes, she said, with a box even. Ok, that's nice hun, it will be fine. Later, at home she wondered if I was questioning the knife so she asked me. I said, see if you can cancel the order on Monday and I will see what I can do. Found a vendor to fit his verse on the knife and within two days we had a coco brass 102 for part of his gift. He opened his cards with it, probably the only time it will get used. He has an "unused" 110 for furry things some day..

Nice work Stumps! Your pics and scale replacement always a pleasure to look at . I want to thin the bolsters down a little thank's for that view.My last post here today for the last Buck 110 I received this past week.
This was a very inexpensive 110 that I decided to play with yesterday.
I took it apart first.
Then thinned out the bolsters some.
Started putting it back together.
Although not what I wanted to use on the handle, the thin piece of white G-10 is what I had, so I used G-Flex and let it sit about 9 hours.....
It got late last night and I just wanted to take some pictures and go to bed.
I REALLY need to finish polishing the bolsters to make it look right.
Also, I didn't get the blade pin peened well, but the knife works excellent. I may take the blade pin out when I go back to finish the bolsters and put a new pin in.
It turned into a slimmed down, front right pocket Buck 110.
The weight savings were less than I thought they might be. It went from 7.3 oz to 5.1 oz.
Kind of a fun project for a lazy Saturday.

James...that sales sample was a nice find.
Interesting to see the blade etchings and prices also.
Sounds like there was a lot of interest in that slimmed down 110.
Maybe Buck should do a trial run of some slimmed down 110s with a Vantage type pocket clip and, of course, upgraded steel.
They might be surprised how they sell.
I spent over 40 years with a Buck 110 in a belt sheath most days. I don't think I'll ever go back to a belt sheath on a folder again since I've gotten used to the pocket clip.
This one that I did was for fun. I may have a little more fun this week because I have two more inexpensive 110s coming in the mail.

Sorry for pipping in , I think you nailed it . The Vantage is one of my favs. A lot has to do with the clip. A lighter 110 with a Vantage clip . I'am in with that.James...that sales sample was a nice find.

Thanks for the complement! You will not be disappointed if you find one. I liked it so much I bought the set of 4 it was in just to get it, others are nice, not as slick as this one though.

Mike - I agree. That one has great color. One of the best I have seen. I like it much better that all creamy with no color.
