My New (to me) Buck * 110 **

[mikepapa1]

Received this old girl in the mail today.. not perfect but pretty darn nice.. I wish I knew more about it.. its a *110** blade.. the scales look like walnut.. but are probably Diamond Wood? Locks up tight as a .. no blade play.. perfect centering.. not bad for an thirty + year old knife.
Thanks for looking!!
Dave

Very nice Dave!
That was the first year that Buck and Paul Bos got together to heat treat Buck's blades.
Those old 3 dots make great users.

 

[David Martin]

The 3 dots indicated a fuller hollow grind profile on the blade. DM

That is a great find. I love the older 110's the best.

Maybe it's just my old eyes, or maybe it's the photos, but she looks perfect to me.
