110 four dot, user or collector?

[Pontiaker]

I have a four dot 110 in nice shape, very little sharpening if any, what kind of value does this thing have? How old are the four dot knives? Mine has the writing on the same side as the nail nick, three lines, BUCK then ..110.. then USA. Thanks for any info!

Matt,
Thousands of these were made between 1982 and 1985 and there are a couple of slightly different variations. They are collectible in the sense that for someone who wants to put aside a complete set of all the 110 variations, your 4 dot would be desirable. I took mine out of use about three years ago when I realized there were people (a few) looking for one for the reason outlined above.

If it's pretty close to mint, I'd say save it. Also a consideration: How deep is the tang stamp? If it's really deep and clear, save it for sure.
