When were the First Nickel Silver Frames?

[jb4570]

Thank you, JB for correcting. You are completely right. The knife in the photo is out of the presentation box together with the 505. Issued in 1985. What i saw in the list is a 112 with four dot blade, issued 1987. But this knife has a brass frame. Sorry for confusion. But there is a question mark left. The list shows stainless steel and nickel silver for the 1985 DU 110 frame. I have no idea what that means.

Herbert, the LE/SO list is for the set SS=505, NS=110 for this issue.

If I can inject another tiny bit of off topic information without being reminded what this thread is supposed to be about:

The spring holders and lock bars are sintered as well. (I would have said those parts on the 112, 55s, and 500s are as well, but this thread is about NS 110 frames and the opportunity for general information shall be ignored.)

off topic can be good info, so thank you Sir. didnt know about sintering of frames and such. learned something new. thank you....

Our Official Buck Historian Joe Houser should weigh in on this.......although our unofficial historians here have done a fine job of taking it all the way back to 1985 on the 110 and 1988 on the 112.

But Joe could probably add some interesting detail.

Joe is hunting for a couple weeks. I dont think he see this for a bit.

My mistake. I thought the question was about the first nickel frames Buck made.

Sorry. I mis-read the question.
Didn't the Schrade and Camillus made (starting in 1966?) 300 series slipjoints have NS bolsters and liners? Or were they brass liners?

The liners were brass.

That makes sense, JB, as all the older 500s had stainless steel frames.

Hope he's having fun and good success.

Maybe he'll check in later.

I'll want to see real life examples at this point. Hope he brings some. Otherwise I go with what I've seen here.

Joe is fairly serious about getting his Elk..I believe he's looking for big horns too. It was one very nice perk of the move to Post Falls. And I bet if he gets a big rack a Buck or two might be made with it..
