I remember when the 110 first came out and took the knife world by storm. It was around 1965 when kids in my grade school started carrying them. Yes even 4th graders had pocket knives and good ones at that. They were amazingly good compared to everything else we saw on a regular basis. Schrade made some good blades but the locking mechanism and they super sharp blades made the 110 an instant favorite.

I still have a 110 (like everyone) but I rarely carry it. It's too big for me really. And I like my assisted opening Kershaw Blur with S30V steel. It holds an edge forever even though I've never had it as sharp as my 110 gets. It's pretty dang sharp though. Plenty sharp enough considering what I put it through.

The 110 is one of those rare knives that really changed how people look at knives.
