110 Blade Length?

[drei3ree]

No pictures, but just a general question... Is it a possibility that a 110 blade would measure 3 5/8" if it has not been altered since leaving Buck? I've had several that length (mostly made in the last 20 years) that look original. I also know the "original look" could be a result of the spa treatment. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

As I'm sure your know, Buck states blade length to be 3 3/4. That said, while I have never measured them, I have several which appear to be just a little shorter as well so it may be possible for a little variation to occur.

My three 110s . A 1974 made two dot that has seen much use and many sharpenings, 3 9/16". A 2014, 50 year, unused and unsharpened , 3 3/4". An orange wood handled drop point s30v blade with a custom shop blade stamp. I bought it new off of eBay a little over a year ago. I honed the blade once, right after I got it. It's blade measures 3 5/8". So yes there seems to be a little variation.

O.B.

I have a 110 Workman model 426 (2nd Gen. Bucklite 1993) that is that length. DM
