How Old Is Your Buck Knife

[JEBar]

I didn't know this resource existed until a little while ago .... Buck stamps a symbol into its blade that serves to give you its year of manufacture .... "BUCK'S DATE CODE CHART" can be found at this link ====> https://www.buckknives.com/about-knives/how-old/

Thanks for the link. I have seen that on Bucks website and have used it to check my bucks out. It's always nice to know.

I only have one question for you. Do you like Buck 110's ?

I only have one question for you. Do you like Buck 110's ?

how could you tell .. .. I bought my first one as a HS graduation gift for myself .... I carried and used it to the point that sharpened the blade to a point that I had to send it back to Buck .... they replaced the blade and I set it aside as something I wanted to pass down the line .... all but the one on my belt as this is being typed was bought, used and designated for the same purpose

I broke the tip of mine but I reshaped it myself instead of sending it in to Buck. It's just a hair shorter but it actually helped me to reach up into the cavity of a deer with my finger on the top of the blade and know that my finger was safe from being cut.I do not like a long knife for that reason. Here is my pride and joy.
