Identify Wood ???

I agree it is probably oak. But could also be hickory or chestnut which have similar grains. Bill

Yes, and any of those would probably be "exotic" to Buck; even red plastic might be exotic!

Red (and green) plastic was offered in a finger-groove drop-point pocket knife using the same bolsters, pins, and spring of the 110. It was the 426, I have two red [maroon actually] ones intact and two green ones disassembled to swap their blades into the 110 'chassis'. There was a black plastic too.

Pic below shows the black/green/red chassis. The first Rosewood is an unmodified saber-point 110, the second is my swap of the 426 drop-point into the 110 chassis.

Nice try, Don - but no cigar!

I'm at a loss for words.

I still have a couple old bucks I bought back in the 60s . My favorite Buck was one a friend owned that was converted to a switch blade. Only one I had ever seen.

"Dual action" Buck 110's. EDM cuts, work nice. They converted them in the mid-2000's.
