I saw a seller that has "Buck 110 Limited" in the title of an auction. Since I'm always interested in Limited Editions, I looked and darned if it isn't simply a 2005 made 110 with the Idaho date stamp. The seller states that the stamp was only used one year! OK, I'll buy that but then wouldn't that make a 2003 110 with a date stamp of T (or any other stamp) also a "limited"? :confused:

I wonder if there's a way to find out how many were made with the Idaho date stamp? I might be missing out on a real collectors item. :)
 
Yep,I guess every date stamp is limited to the number of 110s made that year.Do collectors collect date stamps? After the catalog 110 anythings possible.:eek::)

LOL, I guess this means that I have a whole lot more "limited editions" than I ever realized!:thumbup:;)
 
I guess it depends on how you define "Limited edition" since there is no industry or factory stated standard.

Every Buck knife is a limited edition if you look at it that way. Limited to the number that Buck decides to ultimately produce.

Traditionally "limited edition" applies to productions or publications that are made in a small number, less than a couple thousand and often only in the hundreds, usually numbered and serialized (for example, "#134 of 150" and so on). They are not then re-made in another printing or run. That is what makes them limited!
 
I've noticed that the anvils and Idahoes do seem to go a little higher than the more boring year marks.

Maybe some one from Buck will know how many 110's were made in 2005 then we will know how limited they are. My guess it is limited to 1 of 50,000. :(;)
Of course I have a couple of them so maybe the value of my collection of 110's is going up!!!!

I believe they will become collectors,that Idaho stamp is history.:cool::thumbup:
 
Well just for fun I did a quick search and looked up the plain jane, good old fashioned 110 in a box and it was, in fact, "limited" to a number around 50k. (Longbow are you looking over my shoulder? :) This does not count the finger grooved 110 or any other packaging configurations but it does give a decent ball park on the Idaho stamped 110's.
 
I know we here are poking fun on this topic for calling the Idaho stamped 110's 'Limited' and I agree, it was just a normal production offering for that year . However, I like so of you guys have a few of those squirreled away . Not because I think its a limited offering
but because that stamp to me tells a story of a major Buck undertaking and the carving of a company's history . To me that makes it 'special' and I'm sure I'll realize no extra value on those . Thanks for the info. Joe . DM

Hmmmm...Maybe you should write a book about production quantities, one-offs, special projects, Customs..."Housers' Guide to Buck Knives"... :)

(Sure to be a New York Times best seller) :D
