Buck 110 Question

[Aidanc460]

Hello, I recently acquired this Buck 110 from a family member and I realized that the number on it says “11C” it says buck and it says made in USA on it. Do you think it’s a real buck knife?

Thanks

Do you have a picture you can post? That would go a long way to help identify it.

Does it say 110C? If so the 'C' character means it was built in 1995.

Or possibly the last "0" in 110 is not stamped thoroughly making it look like 11C.

San Diego? Is that a thing for Buck knives?

FYI...
A young Kansas blacksmith apprentice named Hoyt Buck was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt made each knife by hand, using worn-out file blades as raw material. His handiwork was greatly appreciated during World War II. Hoyt's eldest son Al had relocated from the Pacific Northwest to San Diego California after finishing a stint in the navy a decade earlier. Hoyt and his wife Daisy moved in with Al and his young family in 1945 and set up shop as H.H. Buck and Son

Thanks. I didn't know the pre El Cajon history. Or, if I did, I don't remember it.

Priceless...
It amazes me the number of persons, especially first timers, that post a question about a knife and then disappear never to be seen or heard from again.

Sometimes it makes me feel lonely dirty and used. Sigh…………
