All About Pocket Knives

I was going through some knives today to put in my store and I found this Buck 110.
At first I thought it was a Buck blade in a different frame, but in reading some of the posts I am not sure.
It is a solid knife with smooth action & rock solid lock-up. What throws me off is that in comparing it to newer 110s, this one looks more chunky. The edges of the handle & bolsters are not rounded as much as later 110s I have.

So my question for Joe is:
Is this a correct 110?
If it is correct, (from a 110 time line I downloaded from somewhere), I would think would date at 1974 to 1980.

How close did I come?

Thanks,
Dale

Hi orvet,

Your 110 is commonly referred to as a 2 dot (*110*). It is a sixth version, variation #1 and was made 1974.

You must have the same 110 dating list that I have.
I downloaded it somewhere I can't remember where it was.
If I knew where it was, I would put a link in here so others could refer to it.

Thanks for the confirmation,
Dale

jb nailed it

Dale,
I can email the data sheet to you no problem. I'm not sure how to post a link but please feel free to do that.
According to this latest revised data sheet, your knife is a 5th Version, Variation 4.
There have been a few revisions over the years and it gets confusing. I was trying to find the best way to group all the variations in a way that was meaningful and easy to interpret. With a lot of input from other knife nuts, this is the format chosen. It starts with the first 110's in 1964 and finishes, for now, with all the 2 dot variations.
I am currently working on 3 dot to present. Hopefully and further revisions to the older knives will only be added details, not completely new formats.

Thank you Joe.

If you will email me the link or the sheet I will post it on a sticky at the top of the forum so our members can reference it easily.
If you have an active sheet posted somewhere I can link to it, or if it is not being updated I can post the data here.
What ever you prefer.

Thanks again,
Dale

Thanks for the help Dale. I sent you an email with the document.
