Any knowledge on a BUCK 110 5 PIN would be greatly appreciated. Just can't seem to find any on the internet. Many Thanks.....Frank

Buck 110 Folding Hunter: 1974-1980

There are overlaps of time for the exact birthdates of most Buck knives from one year to the next, but to lessen some confusion, the following is an accepted rule of thumb for BUCK .110. U.S.A. (2 dot) knives. 110s from this era all have square frames, solid ebony handles, 440C blades, soft grind lines, stainless steel rocker pins and black leather sheaths made in the Buck factory.

1974-1975
2 tiny brass handle pins.

1976
4 small brass handle pins.

1977
3 small brass handle pins.

1978 - 1980
3 large brass handle pins.

Nice group, Wazu!
I have yet to come across a 5 pin (really a "4 pin") -in any condition!
But, I'll keep searching.

Waz, what does 2 dot mean?

The dots were Buck's way of dating knives in the 70's. They added the 3'rd dot when they starting using a bushing and the 4th dot when they changed the steel used. 440C to 425M

1974-1980
One dot on each side of model number

1980-1981
One dot on left side, two dots on right side

1981-1986
Two dots on each side

Thank you very indeedly. I appreciate the information.
