I have a Buck 110V, Damascus blade with stag handle and chrome color bolsters with no pins or escutcheon plate. I was wondering how many of these knives were made and when? Also, any ideas as to the value? I have not seen others like it. Thank you.
 
I`d recommend taking a look at www.usedknives.com for some comps. I`m sure WinDancer will have an opinion as to the value of your specific knife. I know he lists his damascus 110`s at around $300. But what you ask for and what you get are sometimes very different!
 
I did some research and we made almost 15000 of those knives from 1989 to 1992. The "V" is a date code for 1989. The knife had a sugessted retail of about $160 and i have seen them advertised in the $250 range.
It would be interesting to see what it would cost to have one made in Pete's Custom Knife Shoppe.
Hope this helps,

Hi Whalen

That one is a keeper! These Damascus beauties are my favs. "Price" and "Value", however, are beyond my expertise.

I would buy the next dozen I could find for $125.00. I wouldn't take any less than $300.00 for any of mine. Just my humble opinion

There are lots of folks in this forum who have a more structured idea of the current value.

I just received my latest from the Custom Shop [posted with a pic a few days ago, on this forum] and it was a Damascus blade with silver bolsters and no pin with Water Buffalo scales. Out the door with shipping and all was right at $150.00. I wouldn't take less than $300.00 for this one, either.

Enjoy your Buck knife, Whalen. It is a terrific knife! If you get tired of it I would be happy to trade a brand-new standard 110 straight across to help you out

And thanks for the plug, Steve, but please don't set me up as a value expert. I just know what I would pay and what I would sell for.

Sorry, Dave. I didn`t mean to set you up as an "expert" on knife values, but you do seem to have a more than passing knowledge of custom 110`s! Placing a value on a knife (or ANY collectable item, for that matter) is, at best, an inexact science. I`d rather hear from a person who is active in the market TODAY, than read from a book that went to print a year ago. Besides your being active in the market, you also seem to have a very focused collection, that being Buck 110`s. You seemed a very logical reference for any custom 110 questions. I know I`d value your opinion on any 110 questions I might have. Who knows, maybe you ARE an expert and you don`t even know it!
 
Many thanks to all who replied. I now have a much better idea as to the value of this knife. I do not have many folders, but this sure is a nice one!
 
I am sorry but I cant seem to find that used knives place i tried evenadding http before it but I still cant access it???
 
MICKEY77,

Whew! I thought I was the only one having trouble getting to that site. I've seen it referred to in several posts. But every time I use the link, or type in the address, I get nowhere. Maybe the site doesn't really exist and they're just messing with us. (Just kidding)

Computers are sooooo fussy! We all knew where we wanted to go all along- but the correct site name is "Usedknife" and not "Usedknives". Try the link below and see if that is better.....

Thanks,
Dave Evans
