Good Sunday morning everyone!!
Didn't think I would get to post today, but taking a day off from helping some friends on the Florida Trail.

Thanks Armand for getting another SPS started….and very nice knife to start off with today. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Last week I posted what I described as a late version of a two dot 110 that somehow slipped through without getting a tang stamp. After I thought about it, I realized it could have also been a three dot.
Well, this week I am posting another oddity in the 110 world and I will wait to describe it until someone figures out why it's an oddity;

















This first added photo is what was a unique look at a part of the Florida Trail;



This wildlife photo is a bald eagle that flew over me this week;



This is what I think is a wood stork that I walked by when the Florida Trail took me around a lake in a community along the way;



 
Do you know what the "T" on the back of the blade means?

My picture today comes with a couple of requests for information. I picked up this 345 off the bay and I don't know much about the Vantage line. Is this one of the wallyworld Vantages? Are the scales Paperstone? Don't see any more of the brown color scales.

Real nice pictures, Stumps!



 
The "T" is 2003. I have another 110 that for some reason unknown to me was stamped with a "T" on the offside of the tang.

It's not just the lack of a nail nick... the date code is stamped on the pile side... 2003?

This leads to the question, is the date code always a separate stamping operation at the factory? That would more easily explain
the occasional appearance of knives without date codes.

I'm not sure what the reason was for the date stamp on the pile side. Like I said before…I have one other 110 with the same date stamping on the pile side that was also from 2003, but this is the only 110 I have that slipped through production with no nail notch.
 
After much deliberation, and discussion about serrated vs plain edge.....
I talked to Larry and he found out he no longer can get kitchen cutlery at less than msrp....
So my plans changed.
I happened to find 2 nib sets of 4 of these, for a great price.
The seller told me they recieved them for an office christmas gift. (3rd time they recieved knives at christmas)
One set was theirs, and one was a coworker's.
My kitchen set is now complete :)







 
Thank you, Armand, for another GSOE ;)

Stumps, your 110 is a great find. As I got to know the stamp for the date code
was ordered but it came too late for the production several weeks in 2003. So Buck
started with the production in this year to complete the stamping later. But the
delivery of the stamp delayed that Buck delivered a lot of 2003 knives without
a date code. There was a great confusion in the factroy about that. So it could
be that the rework causes the stamp on the wrong side. Another possibility: They tried
out the new stamp at an unfinished blade and it was mounted and sold by an accident.
What did you tell, wherefrom do you have the knife?

Here are my two cent for this great show. The mastodeon ivory/tooth 505 and 503
on an new picture.

Great show everyone. I love to see some of the oddities that are out there and the stories behind them.

For my oddity for this weeks picture show is a small fixed blade tanto I picked up from a 30 year retired Buck employee awhile back. The knife measures just under 6-3/4" total length and has carbon fiber scales. The blade is stamped "BUCK USA". It came with a kydex sheath with no markings. The person I got it from said one of the guys in the shop made the knife on a whim and the sheath was made by another employee. Cool little knife which I have not seen anything like it from Buck before.

Has anyone else seen one before?

ITE, that is a pretty cool selector you showed today! :thumbup: Looks like you have enough titanium for a few special builds ;)

Stumps, That 110 is pretty cool!:thumbup: It's got me wondering how it came to be...blade dropped off the line, gets put into the line again out of step? Somebody having a little fun on the floor one day? However it came to be, it's cool that it wound up in your collection!

Today I dug this one out for a couple pics and to carry it for a bit...







PS, Blade is a Snake River

Great show so far Guys! Happy SPS! :)
 
Boy oh boy we have some beautiful knives on Armands SPS this Sunday. Looks like Armand needs some help putting together some selectors and Stumps 110 oddity certainly gets one wondering what happened. The other additions to the SPS by badws6, 2TONYB, desertchris, Haebbie, edbeau, and sitflyer, are fantastic and gives us all something more to look forward to in collecting Buck knives.

I am going to add one more to todays picture show. It is a Buck 931 Sub-hilt fighter with random damascus blade, elk antler handles with brass guards and pommel and black spacers. Made by WBC and comes in a wood with glass top display case with COA. Total length is just under 11".
