Mine has the same style stamp and date code. When I look at this knife online, the picture is a littler clearer. My knife's stamp below does look a little more "clean". I would guess this is real, but will defer to some of the more experienced members.

If this is the item #355030099009 you're looking at, it is not fake.

I believe the photo matches one in item 386463677327 listing.

1dogdown can you verify?

I think those were a special run thing for Walmart in 2006, it would have come in a tin. The Founder's edition knives had the same stamp, but the blade was also etched, and also came in a tin..

I think I was posting questions here about the stamp style on mine a year or so ago.

Said earlier, I'm pretty sure these were sold at a big box store some years ago.

As dsutton24 said above.
That semi circular tang stamp was used on the "Founders Edition" 112 sold in a decorative tin at WalMart.
The Founders Edition had Hoyt Buck's signature etched on the blade.
There was a matching 110 with Al Buck's signature.
The special BCCI tang stamp also uses the unique semi circular style.
I know Preston pjsjr has nice pictures. Hopefully he will share.
I probably have them also but too lazy to get off the sofa...

Thank you Roger, but, what makes you think I'm not lazy.
I have the 112 in the tin also...somewhere. This is it.

The top 112 has the BCCI tang stamp...

I 'm not sure I still have the 110 in a tin. I took this one and had Leroy do ivory covers and file work.

Glad you asked here, so we all can learn.

I always like to attribute those kind of things to typos, just saying

Edited to add...just saw this quip, "At my age, I'm good at multitasking. I can listen, ignore and forget all at the same time."
