Has this tang stamp been discussed here before?

How on earth could it have even started out as a three dot? I've never seen or heard of a three dot with two dots on the left side of the model number. :confused:
 
They turned the tool? At least the two dots are on the left because the V took the space for the double dot on the right. Or not? ((grin))

Well, if you decide to kid around.......it's ok.

People do it here all the time.

On an incredibly serious note.....I've been searching for knives due to this thread. I only have one Four-Dot 112 and I wanted to compare it to my ..112>. blades.

Can't find the Four-Dot.

So then......I was sure I had three ..112>. blades and I can only find two of them.

I'm beginning to think I have too many knives to keep track of........

And I'm not kidding.

The knife arrived yesterday and although it isn't like new, I'm pretty pleased with it. It appears to have had some "spa" work done on it. I don't believe that it was done by Buck, it's not quite up to their standards but better than I could have done.

As Larry Oden is quoted as saying in Joe's odd stamp article, it appears to have the real Macassar Ebony scales. All in all, it's a pretty nice example.

These blades probably came out about the time of the DU 112s (87-88) and they still had some left over last year (by sheer luck I got one on the Buck special offer of Macassar/mirror 112s to members here last year--pictured here below the DU knives).

I see more of these stamps on mirror polished blades and have seen several on the DU 112s, so I have to wonder if the mark may have had something to do with the DU offering.
