BUCK MFG dates
« on: November 01, 2010, 05:31:50 PM »
I have read that pre 1968 blades are marked BUCK only. Post '68 bladed BUCK then USA underneath. Then some time later they added the model number to the stamping.

My question is do you know WHEN this model number began showing up on buck blades??

I have a very nice model 120, its blade is marked BUCK the under it USA but no model designation. So I know its post 1968 but just when it may have been made would help me a great deal.

Thanks,

Here you go.

This covers about everything.

early Buck knives made up to 1968 were marked on the reverse side only with the name (Buck)
1968-1972 knives were marked (Buck, USA) two lines.
1973-1981 knives were marked (Buck, the knifes model #,USA) three lines.
