I know some of you guys have one in your collection. I would be most appreciative if someone would post some pictures of a partial radiused 4dot. Thanks g
 
Well, Since no 110 guy has jumped in here.

I do know that a 112 6th Version, Variation 3 - *112**, 3 rivets,nail nic - has the radiused edges of what you speak. It's how you quickly ID it from other 6th Versions. I can do a photo of that if it will help you..

The knife, on my hip and in the JR sheath, is a four dot finger groove, partial radius. It has been bugging me (:jerkit:) that the radius on this knife seemed a bit off compared to the older one I gave my son, and the newer one's. That explains it.

I passed up a three dot at the gun show yesterday. The bolsters were really abused and I wasn't in the mood to send another knife to Buck this soon.
 
OK,

*112**, Version 6, Var. 1 (on top) and Var. 3 (on bottom). Radius of ends most visible, a very slight radius on wood scales. Edges of bolsters on Var. 1 sharper than 3 but 1 would not be considered knife edged, all of the older Versions similar. Finishing operator probably has final say....Most obivous radius on blade bolster ends......... 300 Bucks

Close-up of bolster ends, scale radius visible. Looks like you would just tell finisher to spend more time on edges than in the past......
