Okay what is this... I called them and asked them to put it next to a regular 110 and they said they
know what a 110 is... I said that it looks like a 112 frame and the blade looks like a skinner...
They said thanks... :)

So what do you think it is... I've never seen one like this... Is it a 110 2 Dot... :confused: :eek:







:)
 
a Quote from them about the knife (110)...

RARE BUCK 110 U.S.A.(2 DOTS) LOCKBACK FOLDING KNIFE WITH UNUSUAL BLADE, c. 1978-82,
5” KNIFE, single 3 ¾” upswept severe clip 440-C stainless steel blade, with saber and hollow grind, with satin finish, with no nial mark. The blade has been lightly polished. This blade is about 1 1/8” deep at the clip. We have never seen a deep clip blade on the 110 before. This blade is the right blade for the knife and is definitely original. The handle has coco bolo or other hardwood, fastened by three (3) brass pins and one (1) steel pin, over brass liners. Brass bolsters, with integral liners, top and bottom, with top enlarged and the bottom curved, with rear top lock. This is Buck’s most famous knife. We have found no information on this blade style for this model.

Like everybody else I've never seen a blade like this on a 110 except one that had been reshaped when the tip was broken off. I think it would be worth the time and trouble to send it into Buck for their opinion. Here are a couple of my 2 dot 110's. You can see the grind is different and the tang is cut differently as well.

 
Original or not this is a unique knife that would make a interesting conversation piece. If original this will go real steep over on flea bay may even go steep just for its uniqueness. Will be fun to follow
 
Scimitar. Folding scimitar.

For the lesser grand openings. :). Where there isn't room to swing the fixed scimitar at the ribbon.

Expand the photo above. Notice the plastic-wrapped stuff just to the right of the display case on the floor? Those were a few of the Buck knife cases, recently mentioned as up for auction by forum members here, offered to attendees for a song and a dance. They were piled everywhere.

Here is my guess. First, that is not a 110 frame. Second, I think it's possible that something other than a 110 blade was welded to a 110 tang. This is not supposed to be an expert opinion, just a guess.

Good guess... and it does look like someone welded a Selector blade or some knid of blade on a 110 tang... :eek:
Now to get Buck to make some for us or the BCCI Club... :D

I think it is a 110 frame thinned along the width to give it Rangerish hook on the front bolster. This is what I would call a lunch box knife.

Desoto, that's probably a good thought. If you look at the front bolster, the tang end of the blade sticks above the bolster in the closed position. Normally for a Two Dot, it would be pretty much flush. If it is a 112 frame, a 3 3/4" blade wouldn't fit. Too bad we can't have some measurements of the frame.

The handle is 5 inches long per post #3 shown above and the vendor's statement. That makes it a 110 frame (4.25" in length would be a 112 frame)
 
It is a 110 frame. The hook on the frame is noticeably different than the 112 and it flattens out just after the hook where as the 112 is curved the whole way.
Also on the lock side of the front bolster the 112 has a "corner" where as the 110 is rounded over as this one is.

That's my vote as well.

I share scott's vote on this also ..
the angles on the back of the blade change sharply ...
the hook on the front is ground down on a normal 110 .. as that French curve changes sharply...
tho I think the hook is a grand idea!!
have had my hand slip down on the blade of a 110 once ... not a nice feeling ...
lunch box knife ... yes could be
more then likely it was done after it left the factory were some one broke the blade and fixed it themselves...

I too think it is a weld job. my question not being versed the finer details of welding is how strong could this weld be?
