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!
