It looks like there’s some light file work or gimping / jimping LoL how ever it’s spelled on the back of the bladei was going through my 110’s and I noticed I have one without a date stamp.
View attachment 1195006 I bought it in 2016 from eBay. It has the old standard diamond wood laminate handle I prefer. So that narrows it down.
Excellent info.Ok, I found the article that talks about no year date stamp. It is in the March 2017 BCCI newsletter and the article 'Have you seen one of these?' By Joe Houser, pg. 16. It tells about a snafu that occurred in early 2013 when that years stamp was not ordered in time for the first production run. So, it was decided to go forward with production and stamp those knives with no year code. Thus, some 110's, 112's and 500
series were sent out the doors with no year stamp. Perhaps you'll stumble on to one of these. DM
