I just got one of my 110s back from Buck. I thought it was hopeless, I had carried it through Nam and it served me well. Then in Fort Knox it was run over by an APC and "killed", broken blade, bent frame and smashed scales. I asked Joe Houser if there was any hope and he said he'd have Wilde Bill give it a shot. I also went for the damascus upgrade. This looks like a new 2 scale pin 110 now. The action is better than most of my newer 110s and the Bahama cherrywood scales are beautiful, combined with the damascus blade it is really striking. THANKS Wilde Bill and Joe!! This is another example of Bucks great customer service.
 
I would but my scanner died just as I was scanning it:( I have the image captured on my new digital camera but every time I try to upload it the comp freezes.One of these days I'll get this damn thing figured out!
 
Jake that is fine!!
Wilde Bill does do fantastic work!! Here is a picture of a 2000 Limited Edition 532 w/ BG-42. Wilde Bill rehandled it in Mother Of Pearl. Chuck Buck signed it "My Favorite" Chuck Buck '02 at The Blade Show.

532s are great knives, thats what I use for a daily carry. I added a One Arm Bandit to mine and its perfect for the pocket, light, slim, WICKED sharp and a good size to work with.
 
Jake,
So you like the way it turned out huh? :D After seeing your knife, i decided i need one just like it! I almost kept yours! Thanks for the kind comments, I will pass them on the Wilde Bill.
Take care,
 
I liked it so well I've been picking through my 110s to see which ones I want to upgrade to damascus. I have some nice moose tines put back and I was thinking about fixing up matching 110s for me and my son, maybe my grandson too..lol.
