There is!

Apply through your 'awards' tab.   :tu:

It is called the 30 110 badge. If you look at Dunc's badges, it is the second from the left.

Liking those binoculars, they look a handy size  :tu:

Pic from Saturday, they work pretty well for areas like this. Cheap to replace, not too small but not overly heavy, 185g.

Tbh I didn’t know what I’d won until having a look back through the thread and now I’m completely blown away, this must be the best and most generous GAW ever, I’m a very lucky bloke :salute: :tu: :tu: :tu: Jack, you’re a dead set ledge (legend - as we say here :) )

Congrats mate!   :cheers:

zoidberg's experience is a bit concerning. (Did that issue get resolved or worsen?) Despite the rugged design of the 110, awl folders are subject to stress at the hinge. His experience reinforces a bias I have against folder and in favor of fixies. "Fixed blade knives don't start out broken."

I think I won't try to make a feather stick from dry-aged rebar now.......

Nevertheless, the 110 has been such a reliable and convenient companion for me that I expect my 110's will get more carry than most of my fixies. And I can't think of another folder that I enjoy using more. (Emphasis on 'using'.)

Didn't want to damper the last week of the challenge so went quiet, unfortunately it got worst.
Short version, the lock bar where it meets the blade has deformed some.
Less spring tension now means the blade tip sits proud a few mm of the handle when closed, so sheath carry only.
Can it still be used, with care yes absolutely.
But it wouldn't feel right, so this 110 will be retired.

Yeah eh. I'm very gutted. I get pretty attached to my blades and this one was a gift from gerleatherberman so it is super special.

Beautiful pictures Zoid  :dd:

Sorry about the failing locking tab on your 110.
Couldn't you try the warranty in the US for a "repair"?

I was wondering about the warranty too, if shipping wouldn't be more than a replacement.  Amazing scenery though. I so wish I lived someplace with mountains to walk but it seems I'm stuck a flatlander.

Something very special arrived today and I’m completely blown away, it’s even more beautiful than the pictures can show, the burl wood is stunning and the MTo engraving just adds to the wow factor.

Nix I cannot thank you enough, same for everyone on MTo, what a great bunch of people you all are

:tu: :tu: :tu:

:like: is not enough need a :love: emoji :)

It has come beautifully packaged by Buck and thoroughly protected by Jack so all arrived in perfect condition :woohoo: :woohoo:
