While perusing the used knives at Kittery Trading Post in Kittery, Maine tonight, I found a 111 in nearly perfect condition, I'm not a collector, but if anyone on here is, the only flaws I could find were;
1; blade not centered, slightly favors the right side (observed when held pivot side up) very minor off centering, does not touch either side of the frame
2; graphic silk screened on the blade has a tiny scratch on the top banner, right side, you'd need either really **good eyes, or a magnifying lens to notice
Everything else was good, factory edge, original holster with nearly zero wear, not even sure it had been snapped closed, nickel silver bolsters gleamed, it even had some factory polishing compound left in it, no box though
Clearly owned by a collector....
(**I'm nearsighted so close details really *pop* for me, great for catching tiny details)
