Buck 110 Sambar stag
I made it out to the shop yesterday. Man it was good to be back out there. Anyway I was working on a special knife for a good friend of mine and I got a little frustrated so I decided to take a break from it and this Buck was my escape. This 110 is a 2 dot which I believe is dated from 74-80. I purchased this knife some time back because I wanted to put stag on a 110. When I received the knife it was beat up with a piece missing in the wood and the bolsters looking like they were in a knife fight and lost. I may have to put this pictures up in two sections. Let me know what you think. Boy it sure is nice to post something. Thanks everyone.

Re: Buck 110 Sambar stag
The photos look fine to me.
The best version (pre-1980) of the 110 needs the best scales. Great job! My great-uncle really beat the one that would become mine up. The scales are dinged up like that in a few places, and even a circular spot that suggests it was used to hammer on a pipe. Blade's also seen a belt sander. Took a little work on diamond stones, but I got a pretty good edge back on it.
From use, I've noticed that of the three steels my 3 110s are in (440C, 420HC, CPM-154), the 440C holds an edge longer. It's pre Edge-2X, pre-Bos heat treat; and still outperforms a supposed modern super-steel; supposedly equivalent to S30V.

Nice, looks great!
Re: Buck 110 Sambar stag
Ed I'm glad you are feeling well enough to amble back to the craftsman's corner and turn out a beauty. Not a real buck 110 fan but you made that one really desirable! Don't forget to post pic's of the other knife your working on. Glad you are progressing health wise.

OTOH, I love 110's and love what you did to that one. It looks like it's supposed to.
