110 Gift

This 110 belonged to my father. He's long gone & so is the sheath. I'm not a big fan of the thing because I've got a few straight knives that I really like & if I'm putting something on my belt it will be one of them. However, this looks & feels like a fine folder plus it has sentimental value.

A friend who is a little older that I am, was trying to simplify his life & get rid of some things he didn't really feel too attached to. Knowing I like knives, he gave me a little box with several knives, some broken, some rusted shut, & some that looked interesting. But, there was a leather case for a 110 in perfect condition. Saved me from buying or making one.

But it was much better than that. In the sheath was a 2012 110. It had some tarnish but after a light polishing it looks almost new. It's very sharp & apparently has the original edge.

How good a friend is that?

Cool ! I'm going to challenge you to carry that 110 on your belt for a month and then reevaluate how you feel about it. (They tend to grow on you)

Having your dads knife is something special. ::tu::

There has been a110 on my belt everyday for over 30 years. I try to carry sheath knives more now but they always get in the way. The 110 is never in my way.

A beautiful heirloom knife from your dad and a good generous friend. You are a rich man.
