My latest 110 from the Buck Custom Shop, Buckeye burl, nickle bolsters, S30V...
That’s a great looking Buck !!!
How much did the Custom Shop charge for that one ?

From memory, that's about three years ago and if I'm not mistaken it was about $155 give or take a few dollars. I have had Buck build sambar stag, elk antler, buffalo horn, micarta, G10 and various wood handled 110's over the years with BG42, CPM154 and S30V and never been disappointed with the results. Copper and Clad had some 110's built with brushed aluminum bolsters and red micarta scales with S30V blades that were lightweight and super nice 110's. Those went for under $100 if IIRC.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I grabbed up a half dozen of the G-10 S30V Drop Point 110 and 112 for Christmas presents. They were all close to perfect. Very impressed.
On the other hand, I was given that fixed blade from the Custom Shop. Not impressed at all. The ironwood and S30V were a pretty good premium over the base knife and the wood is lackluster at best and the edge visibly uneven and not near sharp. Not my usual experience with the Custom Shop for sure.

You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Nice!
Beautiful! I ordered one from the Custom Shop 6/2019. S30V, nickel, stag, no pins, leather sheath. It was $169.60 delivered. Liked that burl a lot too, though!

Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
Local_D, love your elk 110. I gave one nearly identical to that to my son several years ago. It was an older version and has BG42 steel. He has used the heck out of that knife and loves it.

Raised my disappointment...told the Custom Shop knives are sold as as is...
Sad...

sorry to hear your’s did not turn out as hoped for.
I ordered five 110 Slim Pros with linen micarta and S30V for Christmas gifts. Each of the five was meticulously finished with razor edges. They exceeded my expectations.
These new ones from the Custom Shop were the first Buck’s I’ve purchased in years. These killed any older Bucks I’ve owned by a comfortable margin in quality.
