I think this is a 72 or 73 model, I'm wondering what type of wood was used I noticed that was two different types for that years.

and of course the other side.

Any help would be appreciated.

I also have a buck 119 with a single spacer in the hand guard marked with buck 119 usa no other markings, if anyone could help me with the year.

thank you Mike
 
CATERGORY II: 1972-1974
VERSION I:
· Mark side blade stamp, BUCK, 112, USA
· Stainless Steel rocker rivet
· 440C Stainless steel blade
· Black Micarta inlays
· Two, small brass inlay rivets
· Stainless steel spacer/spring holder
VERSION II:
· Same as Version I, but inlays changed to Segua Wood
VERSION III:
· Same as Version I, but inlays changed to Macassar ebony.


...Your's appears to be Macassar Ebony...Nice knife...Don't know a thing about fixed blades...:p

Takao, The micarta inlays were only made one year, 1972. I've seen both type spacers on this early model, brass and stainless w/ small and large rivets.
Then the Shedua wood (I've not found a dictionary or google which recognizes this spelling "segua") came later if it was 1972 which I doubt it was real late probably more like 1973. Then yours of macassar ebony came later in 1973. So, lots of changes in a short time. Your 119 I've seen on the other thread is more like 1979-1985 and maybe 440C or 425.
