2002's mark was changed to an anvil to commemorate Buck's 100 year anniversary, and the 2005 mark was changed to an outline of the state of Idaho to commemorate our move north.
I am not positive if there are "some" knives out there with the original marks for those 2 years, but it is possible.

thanks joe, maybe i can add those to the chart.

Joe,
What is the symbol for the 2009 date code?

Thanks,
Dale

Date code chart to 2010......THE DOT SYSTEM INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO THE 110/111/112 MODELS. ALL OTHERS ARE DATED BY WAY THEY ARE MADE OR AFTER 1985 THE SYMBOL DATE CODE SYSTEM.

300Bucks

I would like to get one,but would rather have one made in the USA,althought I have seen a china made and it looked decent,does anyone have a list as to when and what models are still being produced in the USA??

I have a 301X. So the X means it was made in 1990? All this time I thought it was a model number. I learn something new from this forum almost daily.

was just looking at my buck 110, minus sign on each side of the 110 so guess its a 1992 -110-

I have a small Buck folder that has no symbol on it, just 309. What does that mean? prior to 1974?

i have a small stockman,hammer/knife/anvil shield,black (delrin??)handle(one brass pin),unmarked spey & sheep foot,long pull main blade marked

BUCK
303
U.S.A.
but no symbol ????????? pre 74????

No date code indicates pre-1986. The info at the top of the chart about the dots applies to the 110 and 112.

thank ya luis............

i have a buck 110 only markings are BUCK USA and these are upside down. How old is it? Never been sharpened but has been used with original sheath. By used I mean you can see light scratches on the blade and its never been cleaned. How much would it be worth as well?

If you can post a picture it would sure help in determining value.

On a Buck 110 the inverted Buck USA is a 1972 or earlier I believe. A picture would be necessary to see which variation it is. It would be 440C steel blade.
