Hello all, can anyone tell me about these two Buck Sheaths??? What year of knife goes in them... The small one has Buck on the snap and so the does the big one... You can see everything else in the pics... The small sheath I have a one liner with two small pins in it... Is that the right 110??? No 110 stamped on the back of either sheath...

Thanks for any info and your help... ITE ...

110 Sheath...

The little one matches my 1967 1liner. The big looks to be early to mid 70's. I have a 110 with 2 small pins and it matches the sheath.
 
The odd thing is that the big one is shaped funny and has no 110 stamped on it......that doesn't fit 1970s.

Another mystery?

Or is it lightly stamped and hard to see the stamp?
 
The bigger sheath is 1980's ,the belt loop is lower on those sheaths,and they aren't cut down to access the knife easier like the older sheaths.
 
Whether 70s or 80s, it still should have 110 stamped on it....and I don't see it in the pics.

:confused:
 
That would be my guess, too......except that ITE said neither was stamped (and that, BTW, would be a late 60s location).

Are you sure, ITE???

Did you check behind the fold?
 
Whether we see it or not I'd say; yes the larger one is 79-80 and the small one is early 70's (71-74 give or take). DM
 
No, the small one is mid to late 60s (67 was a good guess) and the large one is a mystery.

:)
 
I've seen that sheath with a 67 time frame 110 and I've seen it with a later model like a 70 or 71. DM
 
So why did you call it 1971 to 1974?

While it's possible there may have been a few leftover old sheaths found in 71 - 74 they wouldn't be the proper sheaths and the correct timeframe is 67 just like Mitch said earlier.
 
Without the knife and box I don't put much solid flooring beneath a stand alone sheath. The knife that came with it would offer weighter info.. DM

According to Joe's notes, the larger sheath could be from when Buck first started making the 110 sheath, they did not stamp the model number on the sheath for about the first two years. The smaller sheath is like my Atcheson sheath from 1967 to 1969. The only problem with the larger sheath is if it is from when Buck first started making them, then it should have tooling on the belt loop and it does not. I find these two sheaths very intrigueing, as they do not fit the information correctly. HL
 
No reason to get nasty, DM.

If you have some reason for your claims, just post it.

I think we should try to get out the correct information, so if you have a reason for what you posted, just share it.

BG, I looked at it real good in the sunlight .... No 110 anywhere.... ITE
 
Interesting.

Maybe we're thrown off by just seeing these two together.

Have you compared it (or them) side by side with a known 70s sheath or a known 80s sheath?

That would help lead us toward the likely conclusion that somebody just forgot to stamp it.......or not.

:)
 
The (somebody forgot to stamp it) explanation truly IS the most likely explanation for the lack of a stamp (although I have a dozen NIB Three-Dot 110s and they are all stamped).

I always hope for a more interesting explanation of a mystery, though.

Thanks for removing your earlier comment.

As for this comment.....even NIB sheaths have been known to migrate, so it's never a sure thing.

As for the '67 era sheath, it's not a difficult one to figure out.

And, as has been said above, the 70s-80s looking sheath is probably just a bit misshapen and somebody forgot to stamp it......at least that will do until something better comes along.

DM, thanks for the help... I don't have the knife that came with it or the box... That's what I was trying to find out,
what knife goes with the sheath... :confused: ... ITE
