What is it about the 110?

Flatlander1963 · Dec 24, 2010

I'm sitting here watching back to back episodes of Weeds Season Two. Interesting show but my mind is wandering and wondering why I am so enthusiastic about the 110.

So what 110 are you enamored with right now? Photo's please!!!

Here's mine. DM and jigged buffalo.

Flat, I've always like that handle, then the Damascus blade really completes the package . Mine, Plumber posting the photos on the forum this week is a 2 dot 110 with 440C blade and Macassar ebony scales . Plus, I like my 110 w/ S30V drop point blade, Amboya Burl scales and nickle silver frame . Thanks . DM

I hope that a 111 is considered close enough to show, because this is still my favorite.

Yep, it's still my favorite. I love the 111, I love the burled wood and most of all it's special because of how I got it!

I don't know about the first one (absolutely stunning Gordon!) but you have to know the right person to get one like the last two.

David Martin · Dec 24, 2010

Dave, I agree . :thumbup: DM

Grisle · Dec 25, 2010

Well it'd be hard not to be enamored with that 110 and 111 you guys have showed. I really love that 110 you have Gordon...I actually need one!

jb4570 · Dec 25, 2010

The best 110 ever made, and it was made just for me.

The Yellowhorse dream knife.

Thank you, Joe Houser & David Yellowhorse.

The 110 is timeless! I love the weight, fit and fit, and design. I can't possibly choose just one! I would have to say that probably my favorite, because it was a great surprise gift from a friend, and that is sometimes what makes one thing special and stand out, would be my heritage walnut S30V custom shop 110. (third up from bottom)
Thank you Dave!

I do really like them all though

110 Dave · Dec 25, 2010

why the 110 for me?
as an electricians helper at 15 i got one for a wire skinning knife
as part of my very first set of hand tools
it was my first "real mans" work knife and was expensive
but the all the men i worked with admired it greatly
and i felt a part of the working world with all my new tools
i have never been with out one since..
of the ones i have my fav will change at times
but these two kind of stand out for me
a rare fixed blade 110 by leroy when he was at buck

and this one by dave yellowhorse of Afghanistan Lapis made as a
tribute to the military as the bolsters represent the afgan mountains

My first good folding knife was a 110. (first good knife was a 119) Here is my favorite, my custom 110. Nickel bolsters with my initials, oak handle, and BG-42 blade.

Clydetz · Dec 25, 2010

I couldn't pick just one. Here's my top 8 that I have been enamored with for quite awhile...

jeffzerot · Dec 25, 2010

Everyone of those are fantastic, I have a custom ordered December 4th not here yet, can't wait to get it.

David Martin · Dec 25, 2010

JB and ITE, Those will smell up the kitchen ! Postfalls, Clyde, Dave and JK thanks for posting some real nice knives as well . Best wishes . DM

Scott Hartman · Dec 25, 2010

Wow, lotta super nice 110s! It's hard to narrow it down to just 1, but I look at these 4 more than others. Top, BCCI drop point S30V, then BCCI Honey worm groove S30V, a BG42 Musk Ox and a BG42 Rams horn.
