I was looking at the butterfly knives originally but found this old school forum about Buck Knives. I had finished reading 5 or 6 articles when I remembered that I have an original Buck Knife that I had purchased in 1975 and I had packed it away somewhere?
Originally purchased in 1975 32nd Street Navy Exchange San Diego CA. 92113 Model Buck 112

Thank you, opening up the bladeforums.com was the reason I looked for my old Buck 112. I going to send my 112 to Buck Knives for blade work. For $10.00 Buck will replace it with a new blade. If your knife still has a warranty there will be no charge and they will pay for the return shipping.
 
Your blade: 440C
New Blade: 420HC

Get the SPA, and request the Edge 2000 sharpening.
They changed the edge geometry, making it easier to sharpen, yet hold the edge just as well during normal use.
 
And the 112 is a perfect choice for 90 % of every day cutting chores. ..
 
I would not spa it, I tried the same thing on a 110. I emailed buck pictures of the blade and they assured me they could get the scratches out, so I sent it in. Got it back rebladed, ruined the knife. Bucks response sorry.

Did you submit the warranty repair form with it, explaining what you wanted to have done?
 
If you submit the warranty repair form with it, they will not replace your blade or your knife if you ask them not to. I’ve gone down this road myself. Make sure and fill out that warranty form and be specific about not wanting anything replaced.
 
I sure I'll be jumped but any chance the knife is a few years newer than 1975. In my mind the transition from 2 handle pins, temporarily thru 4, to 3 handle pins happened about 1976 or 1977. With the 3 handle pins being large that puts the knife at the end of the 2-dot era say 1978 or 1979.

I submitted a warranty form requesting spa treatment. I didnt say do not replace blade. It was a inverted stamp brass spacer 110. The oldest in my little collection. The original blade snapped and locked solid. No reason to replace it. Other then the scratches that were cosmetic. Now not so much. It's done. I shouldn't have sent it in.

Joe Houser's Sticky at the top of the forum say this.

"Variation 7 (1974-1980)23


Stamp: BUCK, *110*, U.S.A., left hand. Read with tip point up, 440C steel.


Blade/Butt rivets: Visible on both sides of bolsters, 2 rear, 1 front.


Inlay rivets: 3 (large headed)


Rocker rivet: Stainless, headed.


Sheath: Black leather. C.


Packaging: “2 piece yellow box about 2” high-(2), Use and Care leaflet dated 4/77-(1), 10/76-(1), “Attention” leaflet orange-(2), white tissue-(1), Al Buck note-(1)”, 1 piece yellow box about 2” high-(3), Use and Care leaflet dated 12/78-(1), Al Buck note-(2)."


Seems like it could have been made any time between 1974 and 1980. So purchase in 1975 seems possible, but I'm not an expert.

O.B.

Ok, I'm trying to understand what happened here. Maybe needs some rewriting as it's not clear. "The original blade snapped" I'm taking this as snapped shut and locked, could not open it.? Not broken.? As, "No reason to replace the blade". Inverted stamp? with brass spacers were used all the way into 1972. A 3 line stamp, perhaps a forged frame. Some way it was not made clear on what you wanted them to do with your knife. DM

think hes meaning it snapped closed. basically a strong spring. nothing defective in it...just scratches on the blade. thats the way i read it.

So does the same apply to a 112?
