Wow, what a question! 
I am not even sure how to answer that one. We have made, at last count, over 10 million of them buggers so far and just about every variation you can think of has been done at one time or another. We did a bunch with Yellowhorse handles, quite a few projects for Harley Davidson, too many to count special projects for other individuals and companies like Bass Pro, Cabelas, Gander Mountain. You can find them with gold engraving on the blade, laser etching in the handle, laser cut outs on the blade. Stag, elk, colored laminates, bone, ivory, are some of the handle types. Damascus, BG-42, ATS-34, S30V, 440hc, 425mod, 420HC are some of the steel types used.
If you are looking for all the variations of the standard version, there are quite a few of those as well. You mentioned 4 dot, we did 2, 3 and 4 dot and those were just special stampings used to mark major changes in the production process.
And this does not even touch the many knives made back when we had our custom shop during the 80's and early 90's, or the knives made in the current Custom shop via the internet.
I have never heard of anyone claiming to have all or even most of the 110 variations but boy would that make for an impressive display!!
I hope this helps,

hi, 1st i am now a bcc member but have had bucks sence 68. i love the 110 best knife in the world. i have been to several buck knife shows and seen lots of 'strange' and limted edition 110's.
i met a guy that is a inlaw of a former BKI employee and he has quite a number of nonfactory standerd wood sided 110's with diffrent scale material used! .
it is my thoughts that buck can not tell you how many diffrent 110 were made at the buck plant. from what i have, there were LOTS of the employes that made or had made there own "custom" knives at the factory which included many vearations of the 110. i have personaly seen several of his 110's of the one and two and no dot marked 110's with stag, ivory, abalone and other scale material in place of the wood. it is even in some of the information on the web that the custom shop would go and 'grab' a 110 to do something with it for employee fundraseing or raffels and as noted even in this forum by joe that some times buck used diffrent parts of one model on another thus creating a 'strange' knife that is part one /part another! so is this a bad thing- he!! no ...
this makes it a wonderfull and verrrry exciteing thing to collect buck knives as there are so many 'one off's' or limted types that were made for inhouse people only, and even joe admits this!
i would say that it would be impossable to collect one of each.... as even buck dont know what left the plant!!!!
this brings buck in the class of both a mass producer and still a maker of one off hand made knives.
have fun collecting!!!
