Buck 110 Cherokee Tears

Post by Spectrum »

I have a small knife collection including several Buck knives and I have used all my Bucks except for a few. This one is just too pretty to use. It's a 110 with nickel silver liners and bolsters and the scales are made from some sort of stone called "Cherokee Tears". According to the eBay seller there were a total of 60 made. It is difficult to photograph because the colors change according to the angle of the light.

Speaking of users - this one is the diametric opposite of yours, spectrum. Tip broken off, tarnished, dirty. This one has seen some use - and its going to see some more. When you can pick these up for a few dollars, it's worth saving the gorgeous ones for posterity.
