I see a felt paper liner between the frame and wood handles. Which means you have a forged frame 110.

David, I really am curious about the idea of the forged frame knives having a felt liner. I have never seen that mentioned. Where does the information come from?

Since the scales on the 5th Version knives were glued to the frame, does that mean the liner was glued to the frame and then the scales were glued to the liner? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Finally, if you look at the next to last photo in Post #11, your "felt liner" occurs not only along the length of the scale, it also makes a right angle and carries along to where the scale and bolster meet. Doesn't that seem a little unusual?

I'm sticking with the statement that what we are seeing is adhesive.

Bert, I knew you didn't know what I was talking about but you were sure quick to put me down for it. So, I'm not going to spoon fed you.
I'll let you read and dig to educate yourself. And maybe learn some manners along the way. DM

David, that is the same as saying I have a secret but I am not going to tell you. What were you talking about?

I have never seen a reference to felt liners under handles.

I immediately FELT this was a STICKY question.

As in, David Martin threw something against the wall to see if it would stick.
:)

He can't make it stick by pleading the fifth.
Let's hear your source, David.
 
Buck did use felt and putty at one time. Buck confirmed it. Joe Houser will work on what models and years.
 
Makael, the knife looks great now. Buck did a great job on getting it back in shape. I am not going to enter the discussion about the felt or not but I will say over the years I have enjoyed David Martin's input to this forum. I have found him to have a lot of info on Buck knives that he shares at knife shows.
 
Well, a reference to a felt liner has not surfaced. So, I'll own up to it as MY observation. Buck history is not completely written. As it is still being
discovered. Items surface that were not noted before. So, I'll take your put downs on the chin and call it as I saw it. Still, there are plenty others you may hammer me with not just this one. Several collectors have said 307 year date knives don't exist. But I've held one of those.
Joe H. has said he doesn't think 2 line Kalinga's exist and I've held one of those in my hand and tried to purchase it with original box and papers. Then a 4 dot 105 I owned and sent it in to Buck. They didn't know these exited. So, here you go, have a good time. DM
 
David,

Thanks for the clarification of the felt liner statement.

I think there are a couple of things that need to be remembered on the forum. One is that disagreement about something is not a "put down"; it's only a disagreement. Second, if a person makes a statement that can't be verified they should follow your example and say there isn't any current verification. One purpose of this forum should be to provide information for others and we should try to make it as accurate as possible.

Don't sweat it DM. I found 3 total posts here mentioning felt liners or even vulcanized paper liners between wood scales and brass frames on old early 70's 110s. Since these scales were solid wood and not fixed dimension manufactured laminates, I can see where material would be used to fill the gaps. Whether it was felt paper, vulcanized paper, clay, putty or adhesive; I don't find it too far fetched to find a filler of some sort being used.
