One thing I've gained from this Challenge is an appreciation of just how great an all around knife the 110 is...but the 110 is a gorgeous knife and feels great in the hand. For 99 percent of the Challenge, mine's been riding in the factory belt sheath....
...I love the handle and the way it sits in my hand. The blade length is great for a wide variety of tasks. I really like the sharp clip-point design. I enjoy many other knives, but few, if any, are as nice to use. And the 110 is simple and reliable--no small springs to break, no tricky locks to clog up with lint. It works and it's proven. Not exactly an EDC knife, but one heck of a nice knife to have on hand.
Day 22Doesn’t smell edible? (Image removed from quote.)
... she's smart!
Just seen this - Hilarious - The four bladed 110PS. I don't think the 110 has the supremely useful hook, or constantly needed corkscrew - So I was out for this challenge
Day 21I'm a couple of hours late. I hope a nice picture will make up for it.
I find flint and steel to be a lot of fun. Might take a little experimenting to get the hang of it, but once you do you'll enjoy it--I'm sure!
Day 22(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Pretty busy day today, and 110 came home to serve a hotpot 'snack' duty for Mrs. Pretty interesting design where a self heating pad will heat up the food in the hotpot soup, all you need is to add water at the bottom. Second picture show a stream of hot air coming out of the container.I'm really looking forward to the weekend for a breather.
Day 22Stressful office day... still managed to make some use of the 110.Very handy these velcro bands
I know folks have been using this method for thousands of years so i'm a bit late to the party but, i'm impressed I did find though that i got on better with Amadou than char cloth, both worked well but the amadou seemed to be easier to catch the tinder and stayed burning longer, probably less hassle to make char cloth but the horse shoes are so easy to find in these parts it would be rude not to use them, i need to keep my eyes peeled when going around, so yep, new flint and steel fan here Although i'll keep my lighter just in case....Day 22(Image removed from quote.)
I am going to buy a pair of those shoes with velcro flaps instead of laces, cos why knot

Very cool Borgy I'll have to look into that at some point.
I would imagine a carbon blade with a bit of quartz would work too, if you dont mind bashing up your knife a bit that is, i remember as a kid bashing two quartz together to make sparks, never thought to add a bit of charcloth, which is probably just as well
Fool's Day 22:The 110 liberated some tea from its packaging. Awl present were grateful.(Image removed from quote.)Later, I pulled out the Buck and pulled a Peacent on a head of broccoli. Love the pointy tip for picking out cuts to make with precision. (Image removed from quote.)
Day 22Happy Earth Day Got out in the wood after lunch
DAY 22I didn’t need to cut anything today but the 110 came in as a good paperweight while doing my banking at work. Just a shame the money wasn’t mine C4411C85-083A-4304-B76D-E2EB60E65455 by Duncan Moore, on Flickr
Day 22A little late afternoon pick me up
So Borg has a paper-light and you have a paper-weight 110
Hanging out with an old friend, a Camillus Barlow.
