I just picked up a gently used Sixth Version (2 dot) 110. My other 2 dot and most of the ones that I've come across have three inlay rivets but this one only has two like the Fifth Versions and earlier. Blades says that Buck added the 3rd rivet at the rear during this version (1974-80). Does anyone know about what year that happened?

Thanks for any input.....Mike

I think someone from Buck may need to answer that, but I can tell that it must have been fairly early in that version because they are a lot harder to come by then the three pin versions.

Thanks Mike, I think you're right perhaps one of the people from Buck may be able to help me on this one.

When I spotted the knife it was the first one I've seen so I was hoping it might be a little more rare than the usual 2 dots and a good collectable.

If the two rivet knife version you got is in good shap, consider yourself lucky. Good examples are even more difficult to find. :(
 
The #110 two dot came in three versions, the two pin that you have, a four pin transition knife and the three pin for the later versions. The four pin knife came into being because they had predrilled too many two pin inlays and had to redrill the inlays for the three pin design. The "fourth" pin was put in to fill the hole where the second pin in the two pin design would have gone. The front pin position never changed. The pin variations I am talking about occured at the rear of the knife. FYI.
 
Thanks Richard. Great info. Do you have any idea in what time frame these changes occurred during the Sixth Version? Do you know of any pictures of the four pin?

This transition version should be quite rare. Blades doesn't even reference it. Do you happen to have a photo of one?
