Looking for age and value of this 110. Can’t make out the date stamp so would the handle rivets provide dating as well? Any idea on value? No sheath

72 -75 based on tang stamp and rivets... Im no expert. someone else may be able to narrow it down further for you.
Edit: earlier than 72 the stamp would be inverted and they started adding the 3rd rivet in 75.

I’m no expert, but I’d pay 20 bucks for something like that. That’d be it’s value to me.

http://www.historyofthe110.com/ This has been on here before it is a very good reference for the 110. Kudos to the authors on it, one of my favorites

i was looking at this. how can you see that the OPs knife is not v3 or v4? Shouldnt the v5 be a 2 dot? based on the site you referenced, the 3 line/ no dot would make it a v3... Trying to educate myself here...

110s hold their value, but are very common. in good condition, you could sell this for the price of a new 110, maybe a little bit more due to its age... others may give you a different answer.

Blade kick and Stainless rocker rivet in my opinion was how I determined this as well as the 2 dots that cant be seen, once again just my opinion looks to match up pretty good, I have a few of them and thats how I came to it, 2 brass
scale rivets in line also.

Great site! And I agree, kudos to the authors. Tons of information. I have referenced it a bunch in the past few weeks to date a recent acquisition.
Do you have the box, original sheath, and all the paperwork? Without those it's just a user. There's one on ebay right now with a buy it now price of $50. Another for $85. I personally think that the $85 one is overpriced.

IMO if you clean it up and have the sheath it’s worth more than $50. Looks like lots of blade left on it. Hell Ive been watching sheaths from that era going for almost $50.
I see the one for $50 with a pretty beat up sheath, blade looks a little more worn then the above knife. And another for $150 with a nice sheath, seems high. Those are the only 2dot 2pins I see.

In the fishing hole, 110s and 112s seem to be priced 3 ways:
1: Broken and up for auction. These usually have a bunch of bids because a lot of people are in the know these days.
2: At auction or "buy it now" for pretty much the same cost of ordering a new one from Buck.
3: Buy it now and laughably overpriced. Which also includes, the MOST APPRECIATED, horribly deformed or obviously abused. These people think that they own a piece of art, or pirate artifact, even thought the blade stamp shows 1986...
you can find serious deals other places. pawnshops, yard sales, antique dealers, flea markets....
the 110 and 112 are Bucks most produced knives ( I believe ). The value, if any, is going to be in rare variations. The one the OP posted is cool, because it is old, worn well, and I collect 112s. I probably wouldnt buy it without the intention of reselling it. If it was a 112 I would think about springing for it. Everyone is going to have a different opinion on values.
I respect people who can age these knives on sight, They have knowledge i want to learn...

I’m new to the Buck collecting seen, I told my story in a recent thread.
But again IMO times have changed for the worse as far as prices go.
Same with the firearm seen. Deals are not impossible to find but definitely harder then times past.
