There were more than a dozen different people bidding on this 110, although nobody bid real high.

Analysis?
 
I recently picked up a 110 (1997) with no sheath on the bay for $15 including shipping. Sometimes you get lucky.

I'd call that a good score, Ed......sometimes nobody bids and it's just a matter of luck (but you don't have luck if you don't keep trying, so ....good work).

:thumbup:
 
If it is a double dash, might have gone for a little more if it had been advertised as such. Bout right probably if a two dot.
 
Yeah, I think a lot of sellers really screw up by not stating what's stamped on the tang clearly IN THE TITLE of the listing and then backing it up with pictures.

If they don't picture the tang and just mention it down in the description with a lot of other stuff it can get lost.
 
I was watching that one. What's the significance of the double dash, if anything? I don't think I ever saw one like that before.
 
The double dash had to do with some sort of internal change to the knife (not sure any of us knows what that was) mid year during the year (1992 I think) that the single dash date stamp was used.

The second dash on the left side of the 110 stamp signifies a manufacturing change to the blade pivot. It was added during the 1992 production year.

The 110 in that listing is not from 1992. It is earlier. The edges are not radiused. I cannot clearly read the tang stamp, but I assume it is a two dot.

I wondered about the two dash markings. I've had a new in the box one of those for quite awhile. Thanks for the input.:thumbup:

That's what had me puzzled, the square edges and dashes did not make sense. But who would confuse a dot with a dash? They're clearly dots.
 
Looks like an e-Bay seller is going to get himself a neg.

Dots and dashes are significantly different......back in the days when we used Morse Code it was like......critical. That's why dots and dashes are so different.

:D
 
Nice looking knife, but when you look at the pictures enlarged, it looks like the bolsters have been lightly sanded
 
Sometimes, when uninformed sellers have several "new old stock" knives in boxes......they will use the same photos for several auctions. They think since it's all new stuff.....what's the point of taking new pics for every auction? We know there's a point, but they don't.

In this case, it's possible that the seller used pics of a NIB two dotter and just changed the description to -110- without realizing that would make a difference to buyers.

So.....this one could really be a double-dash with the wrong pictures. To the clueless seller......what's the difference? Well, not much to him but a lot to the rest of us.

There's another guy there who's been selling a bunch of NIB three-dotters and has used the same pics for all auctions.

That's the charm of e-Bay......all kinds of crazy things can happen.
