Model question please

[AndrewH]

Could you learned gentlemen give me your opinions on this knife please. It looks like a 110, the sheath says 110 but the tang is stamped 560?
Thanks for your help.

560 was the titanium-handled version of the 110. I suspect Buck had some blades leftover, so they put them in ordinary 110s. I'd suggest emailing them, as they're pretty good at making sense of production oddities.

Cheers thanks for the reply.

Perhaps someone had new handles put on for some reason, damage, etc.?

Thanks.
I don’t have the knife I was thinking about getting it. If a 560 blade is the same as an 110 I may do just because it’s different.
