112 -

[Pack Rat]

I am having a memory fault on the 112 dash (1992).
Did the 112 work the same way as the double dash on the 110 or were the 112's all a single dash.

I believe it has been said that a 110- is more rare than a double dash and the -- is the only marking I have seen on a 110.

Anywho,,, ran across this one a while back and had focused more on it being an employee give away during the Bay City Texas nuclear power project. Or so as told by the old gentleman I bought it from. There is a mark about where Bay City is.

Then I realized it was a single dash.

Any thoughts?

It is a minty in a brown box, black sheath. Would have looked good in a tan sheath.

Pack Rat, nice find!
This is a quote from Joe Houser in 2007:

In 1992 the date code on our blade stamps was a dash, just after the model number. BUCK, 110-, U.S.A.
As many of our loyal forum members know, later in 1992 a second dash was added to the 110. BUCK, -110-, U.S.A.
Our engineering group gave me the explanation as to why the second dash was added. Apparantly, there was a design change in the blade radius area that warranted the stamp code change.
The goal of this design change was two fold. Make the action smoother, and eliminate an opertation in the shop. It was not a very noticeable change to the naked eye. I compared a 1994 110 blade to a 4 dot i just happened to have on my desk and any diferences were hard to see but they are there.
So there you have it, mystery solved!

I'll assume the 112 was not affected, as I've never heard it mentioned as having the same change made, and never seen a double dash 112....but I could be wrong
