My dads Buck 110 that he carried everyday for who knows how long and it was always sharp. Not mush of the blade left, but it is one of the only things that I have left of him since the rest of his knife collection got stolen out of his house when he passed. The other hunting knife is mine also, not sure what it is, but it is a hefty knife.

Smoakie, welcome. It looks like you have a double dash 110 making it a 92 and a Nemo. Your dad had good taste. DM
 
Very cool smoakie, thanks for sharing, sucks about the rest of the knives but at least you got a good knife with good memories.
 
I would say that the 110 is a four or even a three dot. It has the nonrounded edges from what I am seeing in the picture. The 92 double dash would have the rounded edges on the frame of the knife, like the modern 110's. A picture of the tang without the glare would help to identify it better. Great looking knives, enjoy them as they are both keepers. HL
 
Love to see an old knife that was used and loved. Thanks for Sharing!

That blade shape would make a great paring knife. If you use it for food preparation, you will be reminded of your dad on a daily basis.
 
Being that I am a very big fan of the variety of knife that is represented by that big fixed blade that you show, I'll try to fill in the facts concerning it. It is a BUCK model 122/124. The 122 and the 124 are the same but with different sheaths. The 122 has a plastic type material diving sheath and is known as a NEMO. The 124 has a leather Flap over sheath and is known as the FRONTIERSMAN. Since you do not show a sheath I cannot tell you which your knife may be. The 122/124s were introduced in 1967. Depending upon the material used as spacers on the pommel it was made between 1967 and 1969. The 1967s had red bone hard fiber spacers and the 1969s had red Micarta spacers. You do have one of the early122/124s and, from my standpoint since I really like them, it is a keeper.

Tele, Good. Whether he has the sheath or not to determine the model, agreed its still the early one. There was some discussion a year or two ago from 110 Dave about this model made with a two line stamp. Some doubted their existance but here one is. I have seen very few with this stamp, like 2-3 over the last 10yrs.. DM
 
That knife has a lot of character thanks for sharing it with us theres nothing cooler than a well used Buck 110 IMO.

I am not sure either, I do not have a sheath for it, just some leather sheath that I don't think is the one that you described. Thanks for the info, I had no Idea that it was that old!

You are saying that mine has a two line stamp and that is rare?
 
A two line stamp on a Buck knife means it was mfg. from 1968-71 making it old. Then some models didn't have high numbers made making it more rare. DM
