From what I know the earlier had offest pins, 4 or 5 of the V3's I have carry the same pin alignment, the later models with the stainless rocker pins seem to have the pins more in line, Just what I have read over the yearshowiema March is the absolute worst for weather in the NE. The rivet pins on that 110 seem to have an unusual alignment. Is that just in my head?
I can't quite make out the tang stamps -- the bottom two: 501 and 503? (I have a 503 and I'm trying to decide if I "need" a 501.)
Yes, 501 above 503. They aren't marked with model #s because they're customs. The 501 is a great size for a pocket knife, IMHO. A 503 is almost too small for my hands. I haven't tried their baby brother, the 505 yet

I see what you mean about not matching, but your 113 is a beauty also. My 212 is very dark, compared to my other Cherrywood knives, but it's close enough for me, for now. I really wish that Buck would add other models to the Custom Shop.M Midnight Rider
I’m jealous of your Cherrywood 113. I ordered one and it came in so dark it doesn’t match any of my others. The handle is flat and a dark layer is exposed instead of a red layer.
Thanks! I like my 503, but the 501 sure looks like it hits the "sweet spot" for size, and has some good customization options, too.
