6/22/2023 0 Comments Buck rivet![]() ![]() (1974) Left hand stamped BUCK, *110*, U.S.A., stainless rocker rivet and spring holder, 2 brass inlay rivets, no blade bushing. Sixth Version, (2 variations) Blade material 440C These descriptions are from Joe Houser's 2007 110 timeline and are before some of the 6th Version (Two Dot) variations were added in his revised data sheet. It seems from the Data Sheet that the number handle pins only tells you when the knife was made in relation to 1974 and the changes made then. ![]() IMHO, it is better to date a 110 by the tang markings listed in knifetime’s post than by handle pins. If one of the Buck experts would please weight in here and let us know if my interpretation is correct. I think I have read all the versions right, I don’t really collect 110s but do have several. If you are not counting the rocker rivet, the knife is made after late 1974.ġ974 was a pivotal year for the 110, with 3 variations made that year, the last of the 2 inlay pins, the 4 inlay rivet variation, and the introduction of the 3 inlay rivet variations.

I am not aware of any changes to date after that. Inlay & Rocker rivets are in the wooden inlayed handle.Īre you counting the rocker rivet as a pin? If so, then the date would be from 1968-1974 when the 5th version, 5th variation went to 4 inlay rivets and the rocker pin.Īlso in 1974 came the 5th version 6th variation with 3 inlay rivets and the rocker rivet. Rocker rivet, (the rivet that holds the lock bar in place). In the 119 Data Sheets they have the pins & rivets broken down into what they are/do.įor example, on the first version, first variation it lists the following:īlade/Butt rivets, (they are separated on later versions), When you say “3 pin Buck 110”, what are you counting as a pin? Have you checked the 110 Data Sheets posted here?
