Don,

Your knife is pretty much the holy grail of 110s and it's in fantastic condition. Love that blade grind. Curious, how's the lock up on that old of a piece?

The knife locks up tight with not movement. If you looked real close you can tell it may have been touched to a stone maybe once.I would rate this knife a 9 on a 1-10 scale. Original finish on the scales and bolsters with a few very minor rubs.
Just a super 50 year old knife. Only thing it needs is an original box and papers.

Thanks again for the photos. Really enjoyed seeing it.

On Saturday, my wife and I visited James Dean's gravesite and museum in Fairmount, Indiana. I kept thinking that if James Dean lived in the 60s, he would have probably carried a 110. So I came home and tried to capture my 110's "attitude" in James Dean style. Yea, I had too much time on my hands this weekend.

Are those Ray-Ban's? No doubt, James Dean would have carried a Buck 110, nice layout.

Thanks Mike. Nope, not Ray-Ban's, but it's a real Zippo.

Thought he liked Italian switchblades.

That's because the 110 hadn't been invented yet.

@Tah…BUCK 110 was just one year old..!

Very nice, Guido. Buck did a great job on the 50th Anniversary model. Everything was tastefully done.
