Buck At Work

OK, thanks, what is the production date of your knife one, two, or three liner. I ask because I have one that's a three liner in the 1980-85 group and measures .075 at the ricasso. Just trying to get a handle on the differences.

How many spacers does yours have? DM
 
In late 1969 Buck changed the spacer material to that maroon micarta ( 4 spacers)which is what yours has. Then in 1972 (maybe mid) Buck added
the model number. DM

When I got my 334, knife the pocket pin was protruding on both sides (which is a larger pin). It was Unfinished, a parts knife. Likely put together from parts after someone bought the parts from Camillus when all inventory was sold and the company thn closed it's doors. So, I peened the pin somewhat rounded. There was no counter sink bevel so, I left a head on the pin and sanded it close. For further information on this model, I wrote an article about this model in the Dec. Collectors new letter. DM

I read it good job and I also recognize that very bottom knife in the picture it’s the one you always use. When you say stamped on the pile side what does that mean pile side?
 
Holding the knife with the edge downward and the point facing away from you,-- the left hand side. DM
 
I think that's backwards Dave.
The Pile side is the reverse side, right side with the knife facing as you describe.
The Left side is the Mark side, obverse side, front side with the knife facing as you describe.

I'm confused...
This is information from https://www.theknifeconnection.net/knife-terminology/
Obverse - The front side of a knife. With the point of the knife to the left and the edge down, you are looking at the obverse (front) side of the knife
Mark Side - This is another pocket knife term and is the side of the blade with the nail mark.
Pile Side - The reverse side of the blade, opposite of the obverse side.
I don't want to be confrontational, seems to be opposite of what you are saying David...
