Both were so dull I used our Work Sharp electric sharpener to touch them up first then I finished with my Lansky turn box.. they both took a razor sharp, hair popping edge.. the bigger model with a sheath has a special place in my heart as it was my brother's who died in 1989 when I was 12..as you can see-- he used an engraving tool to put his initials and his last name on the knife.. the smaller model I just bought to carry as an EDC because I didn't want to carry one that big in my pocket and I wanted one to look just like his old knife ... I think I read another thread here that they were described as a "gloriously ugly"..anyway, the more I have handled them and messed with them I really like them. Post some pictures if you guys would happen to have any one that looks like this-- any size.. I think there are three models/sizes that all looked the same... This weekend I'm driving to North Carolina to visit my niece and I'm passing my brother's knife along for them to give to their son, my great nephew, when he's old enough to handle it..he's only 9 months old so it will be awhile!!

Has a pretty strong spring and very loud snap when it opens and closes. It does look a lot like a Buck 110. It shares some similarities with my Kershaw Black Gulch, which I included a picture of it along side of the Sharp knife. I have been planning on selling this one for years, I got it in a 400 piece collection I bought 8 years ago. I just never got around to listing it. Again this Sharp knife was made in Taiwan.
