I was cleaning a little extra oil off this knife and found a dot to the left of the model number. I thought it was some dried out gunk until I looked at it through a jewelers loupe and it is definitely a dot. Any ideas? I have also emailed it to Joe at BUCK.

If I remember, this was brought up in the past. Don't remember what it meant. Someone with more working brain cells will remember.
 
Seems the others had a dot or two on the left side and one dot with the > on the right side.

These are fun.

:)
 
I used to think that about dots, but it's been discussed before and the word in the past has been that Rockwell tests are always done where they won't show......and doesn't it seem unlikely that one would accidentally end up perfectly positioned to be part of a date stamp?

The only thing I can think of to say about it is that it seems small......compare it with the ones in my avatar picture. It is hardly as big as the U.S.A. periods and the ones in my avatar picture are clearly bigger than the U.S.A. periods. That's odd, but many things about stamps are odd.

Anyhow, these odd stamps are favorites of mine.......that's one reason that I hated to see Buck moving toward cheap engraving or lasering instead.
 
I finally got a reply from Joe and he said although he doesn't the story of the stamp, it is a rare one. He said he has seen dots with chevrons but not like mine. The dot is clearer than the dots on my 4-dot finger groove,( they are barely visible).
 
I just bought this one. I'm sure I've seen the same stamp shown here sometime, but I don't know where or when.

I thought I saw somewhere that this was discussed and the mysterious dots were used when there was a manufacturing change mid-year, or something along those lines.

Ha!! You got this knife....lucky you!

In the guys description he said in bold letters to make an offer. I offered $10.00 less than asking and never heard back. Oh well, I did end up with a nice knife on another auction. :)

I made an offer also (just the shipping amount less) but saw there were other offers that hadn't been rejected, so I just went full BIN price. It wasn't worth the chance of losing it over $9 or $10.
 
That must be the stamp Joe said he had seen. He also said he didn't recall seeing one with the stamp that is on mine.
