I am attempting to post pictures of various 110 Versions. Here, I hope, is First Version, Variation 1 taken apart.
 
Holy Smokes!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
It worked!!!
Thanks Trax!!!:D

Did I do it right though? I heard comments that there is a way that costs some of our dear forumites bandwidth? ( the heck is bandwidth?)
 
Here is another shot of the First Version, Variation 1. This view shows that the blade bushing, blade rivet, and two butt rivets are integral to the right hand side.
I hope this helps.
 
Somebody stop me!! This is too cool!
So here are pictures of Second Version, Variation 3. Notice how the spring is pressed into the rocker itself. The rear spacer only acts as a resting place for the end of the spring.
The spot where the spring is pressed into the hole in the rocker is where they tend to break.


The rear spacer on this knife is bone hard fiber, the same stuff Buck used for its sheath knife spacers from the early 1960's up until they changed it to red micarta in late 1969/1970.
 
And here are some Third Version 110's. The first is Variation 1.

You can see how the rear spacer, now called a spring holder, is cast as part of the right hand side. The blade bushing is still part of the RH side too but the blade rivet has been removed and a hole drilled to accept a separate piece rivet.
This is Third Version, Variation 4. The only one with no inlay rivets. :rolleyes:

And Third Version, Variation 5. Notice how the rear bolster rivets have been removed and a single centered hole was drilled to accept a separate piece rivet.

Another interesting thing about this knife is that there is NO blade bushing.
 
...Yep...That 3rd version , variation 5 is what's sittin' on my desk...Nice pics by the way Joe...:D

NOW WHO SHOWED JOE HOW TO POST PICS??????:eek: :p :eek: ...Now we'll never be able to pull the wool over anyone's eyes 'round here...:rolleyes: :p :D ...LMBO...
 
...Notice also on that 3rd version , variation 5...that the scale (inlay) rivets are just about the same size as the pivot pin. That's what threw me at first about mine...The other versions have much smaller scale (inlay) rivets...These are a great help Joe...Great pics...:thumbup: ...:D

Good observation Darryl. Within the Third Version, Variation 5, you can find both these large inlay rivets and the tiny ones.

An old timer here at Buck, one who actually worked here in 1964, told me that for a time they did not have a drill jig for those inlay holes. They just eyeballed them. That is why they are not in the same spot side to side, knife to knife.
He also told me about a time when the inlay rivets were only there for looks. He said they would glue the inlays on, then drill the inlay holes through the wood until they hit the brass. They would not go through the brass though. Then they would glue brass brads into the holes in the inlays and sand them flush.

...Joe...Are you saying that an "old timer" who worked at Buck in 1964, is working with you now in Post Falls?...If that's the case you have a wealth of information there Joe...If he's in Post Falls you might introduce the forum to him...:) ...unless you don't trust us...:eek: :cool: :eek: ...heh heh heh...
 
The old timer is Dean Hussey. He was around when they designed the 110 and I can promise you this, he would run the other way when he saw me coming! I picked his brain many a time while doing my research.
He did not make the move up here though. :(

Thats all the 110 pictures i have right now. I think I will use this new found picture posting ability in all posts where it might be handy.

First off let me say that this is super cool stuff, stuff I've wanted to know for a while! Second let me say- I have taken apart a puma game warden. The construction is identical to the third version first variation other than the fact that the pins were seperate for both the integral spring holder and the integeral blade bushing. The blade shape is pretty darn close too.

Excellent job, Joe! Especially the use of thumbnails, thereby letting viewers decide if it's worth the bandwidth.

If you look at your taskbar, you should see an icon that looks like two monitors...



That's your Internet Connection icon...it tells you how much bandwidth you've used by passing your mouse over it...



The first number, "bytes received", is the bandwidth you've used this session..."bandwidth" being a name for the amount of bytes you've downloaded, whether by viewing pics, receiving email, or actually downloading a file...

AOL basic users have a fixed limit on how many megabytes they can download in any given month...anything over that they pay extra for...

Other ISPs are similar...We're talking dial-up accounts here...

In my example above, since 4:35pm today, I've used almost 4 megabytes of bandwidth...since 5 MB is my monthly limit, I'm outa here!!! :D
 
Great posts and pics, Joe:thumbup:. Looking forward to seeing much more from you with all the sources you have available to you :D it will be a real treat. Thanks, Preston
