Can anyone help me identify these two Buck knives?

[Ldmartinez]

I know they are both Buck Folding knives but I cant identify the model types or the dates the knives were made. Can anyone help me?

The first 2 links are pics of what I think is a Buck Hunter Folding Knife with Hoyt H. Buck Signature with the words "founder-1902" under signature.

The next 4 pics are of a smaller Buck Folding Knife. One side of knife has 2 Brass Bolsters and the other side has 3 Brass Bolsters. The blade looks different from the other knives I have found online but, for all I know the blade could just be damaged badly enough to change the shape. The knife specs: Blade length = 1 7/8" Closed length = 2 3/4" Total length = 4 3/4"
* The most similar knife that I have found is the Buck 505 Knight Folding Lock Back Knife but the one difference I did notice is that the knife that I have has Brass Bolsters and all the Buck 505 Knights that I have found only have Stainless Steel Bolsters.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the pics. If anyone can tell me the models and the dates of these two knives, I would greatly appreciate it.

The first one is an old 112 and I don't believe the second is a Buck at all, but I may be completely out to lunch on these.

Try posting your thread in the Buck Forum.

P.S. - Welcome to Blade Forums!

the second one definitely looks like the blade snapped and was reground, does the blade have any markings to verify if it is a true buck or a knockoff?

The Hoyt Buck knife is a 112 Ranger, and the second one looks like a knock-off....

The first one, as has already been pointed out, is a 112 Ranger. I'm at a loss about the second one, are you sure it's a Buck?

Here's a link that might help you with dating your 112, it explains the symbols used by Buck on the tang stamps and the year of manufacture each of them stands for:

I'm with the other posters.
The first is a 112.

I think the second is not a Buck. The bolsters are shaped wrong. I've never seen any Buck knife with bolsters shaped like that. I think someone broke the blade.

The second one looks like a 110 that got into a fight with a dremel. Proably from a different brand though.
