What's Odd About This Picture?

[BG42EDGE]

Notice anything?

 

[Sithus1966]

Yea, the dots are really low on that one. My Three Dot has dots right across the middle

 

[110 Dave]

bucksway should see this one

 

[BG42EDGE]

Bucksway.......where are you, man?

This is a nice knife but unfortunately it appears to have had a tiny bit broken off the tip and been sharpened up to make a new tip.

Bizarre dots, though......you are right, Sithus.....I've never seen a stamp like that one before.

Darn you BG,

how many of you guys are looking at your 112 dots? Of the 4 three dots in the cabinet all are centered. However, I have a 112 one dot that has the dot at the bottom....now I have to pull out the over flow box and have a look. I'll take a photo of what bottom stamps I find Sunday.

Did he say he has a 112 One-Dot???

Darn you, JB!!!

I never heard of a 112 One-Dot before!!!

 

[Sithus1966]

Here is mine.

 

[BG42EDGE]

Anybody come up with any other bottom stamps like this one......JB?

Bucksway?

I'm not going to bid on it, BTW, I just don't like to buy blades that are even a little snub-nosed.

But it sure is unusual......maybe they just used that stamp a few times and then trashed it.

False alarm BG,

The knife is a used older knife and what looked like a stamp of 112. is just a pit on the blade. I did know there was some pitting on the blade in this area, however, I did not know the pit was what I thought was a dot and that the pit's I saw were the dot's....LOL (old eyes) I got out the loop to see it better and you can also see the dot's and the pit clearly in the photo.

Here is another auction with a stamp like the one you posted.

I'll post some photo's of it when in hand:thumbup:

What a relief!

I don't need another mystical Buck to chase.

As to the knife in question.....we'll call it the "Bottom Dotted Three-Dotter" and I'll be watching for one with a full blade.

May take a while to find one. But if it was easy it wouldn't be fun.

First of all, (aside from any stamp question).....you probably did REAL good on that one.

I was watching it and because it was on for ten days I was going to wait a couple more days before making an offer.

Then I see you nailed it......AND at a great price. It's a bit of a gamble because of the poor pictures, but I was willing to take that gamble even if I'd had to pay more than you did.

But how can you know for sure that it's bottom-stamped? Did you get him to send you more pics? Or did you just mean that it's a Three-Dotter?

 

[BG42EDGE]

Are we gonna get a report, JB???

And where's Bucksway to comment on the weird stamp that started all this?

You can see the stamps very good in the bottom photo in the auction. I was not looking at this 112 for a bottom stamp....just nice stag on an older 112:thumbup: I look at these older 3 dot stag 112's and compair them to the buck web special 3 dot elkies for price any way (you see I over paid by $35).

[BG42EDGE]

Well, JB.......I really blew this one.

:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:

I sent him a question about dots and he responded that it was a Three-Dotter.

So I knew that part of it......but apparently he ADDED a pic to show the dots after that and I never looked at the pics again so I never saw that it was bottom-stamped.

If I had SEEN that I probably would have made an offer sooner.

This is only the second bottom-stamp that I have ever seen, BTW......although I haven't been looking at 112s real hard for more than a couple years.

You didn't overpay, you got a GREAT deal if the knife checks out ok when you get it.

How you ever got them to take an offer that low I'll never know.

:thumbup:

 

[imafritz]

Well here's mine, lower line.

 

[BG42EDGE]

Cool, Fritz!!!

Now I've seen three of them.

That's a Three-Dot variation I haven't got, so here we go again.
