Why this one knife - the Buck 110 with the New Landers (darker green) inlay scales has never before made the website, I just don't know. New Landers turquoise is relatively rare and hard to find in jewelry, not to mention any other works. Not sure who this artist was but am going back to check with SPR to see if they remember.
It is my second favorite turquoise - use to be #1 until this newer Sonoran Gold came to my attention. Anyway, this knife is a beaut! The inlay; the thickness of the turquoise (which you see when the knife is upright). And it all starts with a Buck 110.
Never seen another; none showing up anywhere today, for sure.

History of the 110 Folding Hunter Buck's Folding Hunter was created in 1963 when Al Buck decided that a revolutionary locking blade knife was needed by outdoorsmen who wanted a sturdy knife but did not want to carry a long, fixed blade knife. He was right and the result proved to be the key to the company's future. The challenge was to combine the strengths of other folding knives with locking mechanisms into a good-looking, reliable product. It wasn't easy, but after a series of refinements, the Model 110 was unveiled. Within six months, this innovation was the hottest knife in the industry.
The knife features brass bolsters with ...a razor sharp clip point, 3 3/4" (9.5 cm), 420HC stainless steel blade. Securely locks in the open position with the lock back design. It folds down to a convenient 4 7/8" (12.4 cm) when closed.
