Beautiful 110 Willie!Steamboat Willie wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 5:50 am Here’s my latest. I’d been searching high and low for an unused 1997 Buck 110. A ‘97 110 was my 18th birthday present to myself. The first knife I bought without a chaperone. I carried it every day for almost twenty years. I used it, I abused it, I loved it. Unfortunately I finally managed to kill it. I normally don’t believe in safe queens, but I’m going to keep this one fresh. Every time I look at it I’ll remember the day I unboxed “old number 1”

A 3-5/8 Cattleman's Knife I believe made by Camillus for Sears. It has bone handles, brass liners, A Spear point master blade, Sheepsfoot, secondary, and pen on the final. As received, It was rusty, the handle has a chip missing on the mark side center pin, the Main blade had a piece missing, all blades were stiff & gritty, and had been dropped on the end. So, did my usual cleanup and reformed the master blade back to a spear point. Amazing what a hot mineral oil spa treatment will do. Not only to flush out gunk, but to rejuvenate the bone. Now it is a decent EDC, and has some new life in her. All blades have great snap, and only the Master blade has a small bit of wobble. Here's some pics.

Appreciate it Marc. Not only does it help the bone, but seems to help in removing surface rust and gunk in the blade wells.Madmarco wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 10:31 pm
Beautiful Smitty!I love the touch-ups you performed to bring a dead old knife back to life!
I hadn't heard of a "hot mineral oil treatment" but it sure did breath new life into those bone covers, they actually appear "refreshed", and those bolsters are poppin'! Congrats buddy!

I would love to try the "H.M.O. Teatment", but I don't own any knives that could use it! LOL!

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Hey buddy! Yes it did come from Ebay, but there were about 4 out there when I bought this one. It was the only one without a box, and was also the most expensive asking price. But, he had a make offer option, so I made a fair offer for one with no box that was a bit scratched, and he accepted it. So, if you were looking at the expensive one with no box, this is it! I'll get you some pics tomorrow.Madmarco wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 10:20 pmThat knife is gorgeous Kerry,toomanyknives wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 11:06 pm The latest addition to the collection.

I ask cuz I was following one that looked very similar to yours and was actually about to pull the trigger, but if it is the same one I'm glad it went to you!
I know exactly what you mean about it catching your eye, same here, I like the minimalistic look along with it's square frame and single blade! Can we get some more pictures please!

Thanks for the kind words Glenbad, Cody, tmk, Papa Bones, and Marco.
Marco, I briefly thought it would be fun to have a 110 from every year I’ve lived. Then I thought about the money and space I would have to dedicate to a large fleet of fundamentally duplicate knives, and I got over it!

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Schrade Walden 204--this time, the right knife.
Has seen little use, and looks to have been kept up by its former owner. There is a little crud in the pivots, but that's about it.
"Push Center Lock Left to Release" etch is still prominent on the screwdriver. Out of about a dozen electrician's knives I have, this is the first to have an intact etch.
A few days earlier, the seller had sent this one by mistake, but let me keep it. It's a 1960s-1970s era woodgrain Delrin 204S, quite similar to the Craftsman models produced in the same time period.
That basically equates to two knives for $25. Seller was asking that for each knife. I think the price was a steal for the 204, but excessive for the well-used and damaged 204S (bent lock, screwdriver that has weak closing snap).

Very nice Goldpan. The Craftsman 9494 you have there with those particular style handles and the smooth long pull nail nic was produced by Ulster.
