I always wanted one, and got one at a pawn shop for $30.00 including the sheath\holster. The knife is in good shape, has a few marks on it, and needs sharpening, but am thrilled with it overall. I am at work now, and will post pics this eve!!
Very nice ! In my opinion it deserves to be in a leather sheath https://www.ebay.com/itm/Buck-Belt-Black-Leather-Sheath-for-Model-112-Ranger-Folding-Knife-BU112S/232772806762?epid=5009476499&hash=item363257286a:g:UW4AAOSwQgJa~hzK:sc:USPSFirstClass!55437!US!-1
It appears the grind angle is about 45 degrees and your sharp is a 60. May need to find a specialize sharpening service or even send to Buck for its service. The grind just does not look correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm not a fan of the pull thru sharpeners. What I do is check for chips or deformations along the edge. From the pictures it looks as tho the edge near the tang is pretty buggered up ( chips ). You can run your finger nail ( gently ) along the entire edge. If you feel something mark it with a sharpie. If you have a magnifying glass take a look at the edge. You'll need to address this by removing material both sides to get those chips out. My 110 also had chips but I chose to not remove them entirely as I was able to get the edge very sharp around them. I didn't want to remove too much steel. I used my Lansky. I always use a sharpie to mark where I expect the sharpener to hit. It really help guide me to removing only the material I want and need to get the desired bevel degree. Depending on the method used prior to your ownership the knife may have a few bevels which don't meet at the apex. The sharpener you are using may be only hitting the shoulder of one of those bevels.They may have used a steep sharpening degree. I went with 17 degree per side. I'd suggest a guided system or stone to sharpen your 112. I'd be happy to do it for you if you want to PM me we call talk about exactly your expectations. You pay only shipping to and from me Buck can also take care of it for you. They do spa service and I don't believe they charge.
If I can fix this, I can also fix my old Schrade! Thanks again!!
