Just picked up this 2004 110 today.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me why the blade would be stamped twice?
Apart from the obvious issue with the missing rivet, it looks to be in very good condition.
Solid lockup, but could do with a sharpen, a bit of a clean up and a drop of oil.
I smell a custom stag project in the wind!

WOW!! Very unusual never seen that before. Most likely one of a kind. I know of no reason for that blade to be stamped on each side. It looks in very good shape, looks like a full blade. May I ask how much it cost?
 
I have a Brian Yellowhorse 112 with a double tang stamp and when I asked Joe Houser about it it had to be fed into the machine by hand after it was accidentally dropped. On LE's like that you just can't grab a extra blade..

Hi Abe, Less than $100 AU, with a new old stock leather case.

Lesknife, this is my thoughts as well.
Maybe it was placed in the machine incorrectly, stamped, then the operated noticed, placed it in correctly and stamped it again.
Probably just threw it in the pile of stamped blades and thought, "Oh well, it will sell".
Funny that QC never picked it up, or did they....hmm.🤔
Never known Buck to throw away a good blade just for this.
