How To Thin a 110 (or I might be out $28)

Excellent job Rupestris

Thank you for the pic. The brass and green go together nicely.

Nice love the material choice on this too and looks like you fixed all the problems with the knife that it had when you bought it.

You done good! Very creative and well done!

Day late on this but I'm dreaming of you etching circuits into those board first.

I do like this idea! There are, I believe, printed circuit boards for various electronics...(use them with or with out the capacitors/resistors) Preston

The neat thing is with a few of the right things you can draw your own board and etch it. So if you really want custom you come up with a neat package. I don't think it would respond well to sanding so you'd have to get a bit tricky but I bet it would be doable.

Thanks for posting this tutorial of sorts. I've been wanting to customize a few 110s and 112s but i was unsure about a couple of steps that you covered nicely here. I think I'll give it a go now.

Anyone have a method for pinning the scales? I really like the classic look and security of the handle pins but it looks quite difficult to get them peened and looking good on the inside and outside.

View attachment 969863 You can put that knife together with screw sets. The barrels are 1/8” diameter. The internal threading is #2X56TPI. The barrels and screws come in various lengths. If you have to shorten a barrel and/or a screw, put the ragged ends together with red Loctite to turn the assembly into a T-nut. When using a T-nut assembled in this fashion, 2 screw driver bits will be required to assemble and disassemble the knife, but only one screw will be removeable.

Tiguy, where do you find these?

I got them from R.B. Johnson at the Blade Show, but he has a mail order business. The barrels are 1/8” diameter with a #2X56TPI internal thread. The screws have the same thread except “male”.

Nice job! Looks great, and like the diet paid off.

Gosh, really good work there.

Enjoyed reading this thread, looking at the pictures, and really love the final result! OH

Looks great what is the weight of the knife after modification?

 

[DocT]

That was a great thread. Thanks. I really like the looks of that green circuit board G10 for the scales. Who knew?

 

[Rupestris]

Looks great what is the weight of the knife after modification?

I got to a shop with a scale today. Weight is 172.2 grams or 6.07 ounce.

I was curious about the weight of the 110 N/S that I modified,so I weighed it.

It came in at 159 grams.

Great job, and thanks for the array of pictures and progress information!
