  1. Found this in my moms garage while cleaning up as a teen. She said it belonged to my father. I think it’s an early model Buck 110 as it has no dots? What’s interesting is that each wood panel has a different shade. One side dark wood other side much lighter. Thinking about sending it in for the spa treatment...

Possibly a counterfeit—the original 110s had 3 “dots” , now they have 4—at least the one I have from the early 60s has 3 dots.

Ok—well, I have a 1964 original, and it has 3 dots.

If that's the case, it's probably been re-bladed. It's not uncommon. The first Buck 110s did not have any kind of date code, which is what those dots are.
 
The “dots” are the brass rivets that hold the scales on—the originals have 3, newer ones have 4. Sorry about the confusion.
 
It would be cool to see, also, I wonder If the two color scales was done by exposure to light on one side or long term storage? Or one scale may have been replaced? Just curious, does one scale look newer than the other or have the same amount of wear?

The "dots" most people on here refer to are on the blade and used as a way to date the knife. Rivers provided a link to a chart with the different symbols (including dots) used to date 110's. The "dots" your referring to are not dots but brass rivets.
