Can anyone tell me more about this 118?

[Mr. Tettnanger]

Can anyone tell me more about this 118? I just got this in trade deal. This has the green/brown micarta scales but is not the upgraded steel "Pro" version. Is this a rare bird? A unique prototype?

I also have a 103 and 105 with the same micarta scales, but regular steel. I am really curious as to the background of these varieties!

Wow, good grab. Those were part of our pilot runs for all of the 100 series in the micarta/S35VN. We never released them except at the Factory Sale. If memory serves me right there was less than 100 sold during that Father's Day Factory Sale.

I appreciate the info! Thank you!

Does the 100 sold refer to the total of all 100 series knives or to 100 for each model?

There were about 25 of each model except for the 119, I believe there was closer to 100 of those.
