Trying a pic of the 2 Dot

At least you guys got something to show for it...I actually won an auction [gasp!] on 5 Jan; paid w/PayPal immediately, sent an email and eBay "contact seller" email...On 12 Jan got a response that seller was in hospital...no response since then...and no knife...:grumpy:

I'm only out ~$20 but what kind of douchehead stiffs someone for only $20??? If you're gonna stick it to somebody, get more than dinner at MacDonalds out of it... :rolleyes:
 
...LOL...I do appreciate that Scott. I already see a spot in my tool box for the 2 dot to reside soon. I'm sure it will be a heck of a wire stripper. Who knows, after I fool with it a while this week end maybe I'll put it somewhere and be able to say "...this is almost how a decent 2 dot should look..." when people see it...LOL...You do have to have a sense of humor when minor inconveniences like this happen though...I hope you, Mike Kerins and Joe H. all track down a 102 like you've all been looking for too...
 
Trax and Scott, sorry about your experiences also. Trax, it would depend on how many that douchbag stiffs...could be quite a chunk of change. Preston
 
...Hey Trax...I had that happen once as well. I waited and waited and decided that something really bad had to happen to the seller. I must have waited almost 2 months...( I actually kinda fergot too... )...when I received an email from the guy who told me his wife had been badly hurt in an accident in Maine while visiting family and he had gone to take care of the arrangements. He sent me the knife and a check to cover the money order I had sent. I sure felt bad for the guy but I felt good that I had given him the benefit of the doubt...Even on-line people are real...I do forget that once in a while...I'll bet you get that knife my friend...:)
 
I had a Schrade Scrimshaw that I felt I paid way to much for. I figured it had been sharpened by the former owner using the ‘drag it open behind the car’ method. I took it to a knife maker friend of mine and he buffed it up really nice on his buffing wheel. It didn’t take long and didn’t cost too much either. It looks to me like the steel is there on that blade of yours so it may not be as bad as all that.
 
...I'm gonna work her over this week end Will...If my daughter ever teaches the ol' man how to use her digital camera I'll put up a picture...Lotsa shallow nicks on the edge and it's gotta be straightened out, may lose some blade there, about .015 in. of the tip is gone that may improve when I straighten the edge...wish I has a diamond hone fer the Lansky...

Darryl,

I count three persistent 110 bidders + 334dave on that... :grumpy:

Bid a zillion dollars, Darryl!!! :D
 
You know guys, DarrylS's 2 dot 110 struck me as odd. This is a fifth version frame with a newer 2 dot blade. Fifth versions are stamped Buck U.S.A. or inverted Buck, 110, U.S.A. Do you think they just used up existing frames or was it re-bladed? The sixth version marks the beginning of the use of small dots(.), located on either side of the model #, to designate major design changes in the 110. During this timeframe, Buck added an extra inlay rivet to the rear end of the Macassar-ebony inlay.
I dug through a dresser drawer and found 2 2 dots, each with a different frame. They are both $20 ebay knives.

I'd be interested in knowing/seeing [tutorial request!] how to do that...I have a wavy edge that needs straightening, too... ;)
 
Scott, forgive me, but I'm really slow...I don't understand how you are telling the difference between the frames. I need things splained to me..pictures are better. Thanks Preston

Scott,
There are two variations of the sixth version 110. Since they added the third rivet midway during the version, there are two rivet and three rivet variations.
 
Sorry Scott, I misread your post. I think Darryl's knife is an early variation sixth version, based on the body style. The earlier fifth versions had a relatively smaller body. I think the sixth versions were actually the largest 110's made. I use mine to stretch out a sheath. If the sixth version fits tightly, all the others will fit just right. :D
 
Preston,
The top 110 in my pic has a silver rocker pin(goes thru wood handle,thru brass frame, thru backspring and out opposite side) bottom 110 has 1 also. If you look at top 110, there are 3 remaining brass pins that hold wood handle to frame. Bottom 110 only has 2 pins holding wood to frame. Plus the edges of the brass frame of the bottom 110 are are squared. Edges of top 110 frame are rounded(more pocket friendly). Hope this helps.
 
OK, OK, now I'm really confused...with Mike's post and yours Scott...I'll go get the Blade Guide and see if I can make myself understand the differences. Thanks,(I'll post ?s if I feel the need) Preston
 
Hey Mike,
This collecting Bucks, is mostly detective work! So ,we've got the 2 dot blade starting in 1974 and going to 1980. Any info as to what year(or what month?) the extra inlay rivet was added?
I pulled out a 1972 or 1973 regular 3 line 110(not inverted), you're right, both the 2 dot frames are thicker, than the 3 line. So why wouldn't the 2 rivet 2 dot be the same thickness as a 2 rivet 3 line, if Buck was just using up existing frames before switching to 3 rivet frames.
Mike, if you would, check a 2 line 2 rivet,3 line 2 rivet, inverted 3 line 2rivet, 2 dot 3line 2 rivet and a 2 dot 3 line 3 rivet for frame thicknesses.
I got a migrane, I gotta sleep or short circuit. Let us know what you find.
 
Scott,
The 110 seems to get progressively wider through the body with each successive version. The fourth version two line, two rivet is 5/8" wide at the narrowest point. The fifthe version three line, two pin is 11/16" wide at the narrowest point. Both variations of the sixth version, the two rivet and the three rivet are both 3/4" wide at the narrowest point. The current version is also 3/4" wide but with the rounded profile has the appearance of being smaller. This is really non-scientific....just an observation.

That one finally went for $31, which seems a good price to me...Four of the bidders I recognize [+ 334dave!]; they all bid on any 110's they find... :grumpy:
 
Mike, are you using Blade's Guide for reference to the versions? Just checking so I have a base of reference.

Scott, using the BG as a reference, the edges are not radiused until 1982, which would be the 8th version...4 dot. I know alot of things get changed and Buck uses up frames and blades without regards for us and our anal retentive tendencies. Preston
 
Preston,
As far as the version number, yes, I'm referring to Blade's guide. I simply then pulled a knife from the drawer and measured with my handy metal ruler. :)
