Which 110 2nd Version is most difficult to find?

[Scott Hartman]

I'm curious to know which 110 2nd Version variation, between variation 1 and variation 2, have you found to be the most elusive?

I only have one 2nd Version and it is a Variation 2.

I think the second version by far. If you find one, as the early knives were users, the etch is worn and hard to see.

Man, HK that is nice. Why does the front bolster look so squared? DM

David, I really don't know, but it does in this photo. I don't have this knife anymore so I won 't be able to answer that.

Well, that's the one I can't seem to get my hands on. I have a 2nd Version, variation 1, and variation 3. I thought the variation 1 was the difficult one.

Now as 1st Versions go, the etched variation 2 is as scarce as...... they're so scarce I don't even know what to compare it to

Am I missing something? I thought the question was about variation 1 and variation 2 of the 2nd Version (fiber spacer). Isn't hkingdom's knife a 1st Version, variation 2?

1. No.
2. It is.
3. Yes, it is

Here are one of each I dug up this morning.
The front one in the pictures is the 2nd/2nd and the rear 110 in the pictures is a 2nd/1st.
I tried zooming in on the blade pivots.







This closeup below is of the front knife and clearly shows it to be a 2nd/2nd.



This is the closeup of the rear knife below and it shows no blade rivet on the right side making it a 2nd/1st.




I'm not sure if one is harder to find than the other.

Sorry, should have read a little closer.

VERY NICE... I have never seen a version 2 much less have one. Nice couple Stumps.

Dave, you're looking at the picture with the blade half open...

 

[D-RIG]

Stumps those are some fine examples you got there !

I think the hardest one to find is the 2-1 especially when it has the
smaller nail pull making it a very early second version .

 

[Stumps]

Actually, maybe they are both kind of hard to find.

I very rarely see either of them come up for sale.

Is anyone else drooling everywhere right now?

 

[Scott Hartman]

Stumps, killer photography!!! Wow, super nice 2nd Versions. Is the rocker pin on the 2nd Version, 2nd variation noticebly larger that the 2nd Version 1st variation? Looks it in the pic, but it's also closer in the pic. Thanks for posting the pics!
