That was then and this is now:

The 110 is a nice knife but for some reason I always ended up with Schrade LB7s. Similar design but I liked the steel better on the Schrade. They're both some work to sharpen if you let them get to dull but they hold their edges well.

I worked over an old 110 for a friend last year. I tightened up the bolsters, worked out some rough spots on the brass and polished her up so she looked like new. It's an old school lockback but still a gem.

If you practice a bit you can open them one-handed with a satisfying “snick” almost as fast as a switchblade.
