Old Buck 112 with a rounded body?

[Fisting_Chili]

Hey all,
Came across an old Buck 112 that has a rounded body instead of the squarish type you see in newer ones.  Any ideas how old?  Any info?

That's one I haven't seen before.  Do you have a membership on Blade Forums?  If you post
those pic's asking about it under the Buck section you will receive some info for sure.  

Where did you get it?

actually all my older ones are the ones thats squared off on the edges.

yeah indeed those are the one's I've seen as well.  I have a 112 but in bucklite.

My uncle gave me a bunch of old stuff of his when we were in CA.  His sewer broke so they gotta dig up his garage and so I helped he clean it out some and he gave me a few boxes of stuff (he knows I love knives) and this was in it!

I'll go ask in the bladeforums for more info thanks!

Yep all the others I've owned or sold had the squared off edges too

I have seen customized work some folks do by grinding and sanding the rough edges off of there lock backs to produce an effect like this. Not sure but it could be.

Have you asked your uncle who gave it to you?

if I remember there is a way to tell date of manufacture by the letters or symbols on the blade. Ill do a google search and find out.

He got a lot of stuff when his dad passed away.  Has no idea what much of it is.

Kinda reminds me of the 500 series with all those curves and all, very interesting! No you gotta kind out the scoop since enquiring minds now want to know!

Cheers,

He gotta pretty good response on blade forums regarding it.  I'm sure he'll be along to
tell you about it.

I don't recall the source of this Buck date code chart.
