[Damien Bachman]

I bought a buck 119 from my work for $14.99. An all I know is that it pre dates the date codes. I was hoping to find some info on it. It won’t let me post any pics if you want pics my email

Ok so from your chart I see that my knife pre dates 1986. That helps. Thank you

 

[David Nowlin]

This should help.

 

[Damien Bachman]

[David Nowlin]

[Damien Bachman]

No dots or any indication other then stamped read tip up.

My favorite date code is 2014.....

It’s a bit saggy but 2011 and 2012 are still perky.

That chart is for the 110 but i thoudht they pertained to all buck knives. Are the dots exclusive to 110-112 only?
And i have a 119- 1992

 

[David Nowlin]

So yours would be a 1973-74

 

[DOGPOUND77]

yes dots are for 110 and 112 only

 

[sassafrassdogs]

So yours would be a 1973-74

You mean 73-86 don't you? There has to be more pics and Gedlicks, DM, and DeSoto needs to see it in order zero it in...


Go to Bucks website and under "how old is my knife" there is a date code chart that you can download...

All I know is that there is no date indication. Just ,Buck 119 U.S.A, So it’s older then 1986. The sheath is the classic black leather with Buck printed on the button snap, an 119 on the back. It’s a drop swivel designed sheath. I have pics. email above.

Your knife and sheath sounds similar to one that I purchased in the late 70's. I still have it(NIB). The blade should be of 440c steel.
