So...maybe you should look for a 112....just sayin'.... :pok:
I own a 112: an orange Slim Ranger. Its a terrific knife. But I'd like to participate in next year's Fools of April Challenge. And now that I'm no longer on sea duty, why not get a 110?

I never knew that Buck created the 112 because Sailors were prohibited from carrying their beloved 110s. The rules for knives carried on board ship when I was in were,: no fixed blades, no double edges, and nothing over three inches.

Here's a little teaser...
A very nice 112! :like:

I think that's why the Buck 112 has a 3" blade.   :rofl:

Here is the history of the 112 per Buck:

That was a good read. Buck certainly was correct about the three-inch limit being imposed throughout the fleet.

A 112 would be a great knife for general shipboard use. Rigger's knives awlso excel on board ship. Of course, we cannot forget to add a multitool (Mr. Pinchy was popular when I was serving).

2000-2006. Now that I think about it, Mr. Pinchy may not have been available brand-new then. But I'm pretty sure it was at least a closely related model that was popular at the time. Many sailors (myself included) thought it was way cool to be able to deploy the pliers with a flick of the wrist.

I found it ever so slightly loose at the pivot so out came a TX6. I found the adjustment action easy and precise  :tu:

Well, laddies, I received my glorious (and wholly unearned) prize, and holy cr@p it is fantastic.


Behold, a like new custom 110, with polished brass bolsters, BOS heat treated S30V blade steel, stabilized palm wood britches, and engraved with "Multitool.org" and "2022".  Its totally incredible.






Thank you Brother Nix.  What an incredible gift!   :cheers: :salute: :woohoo: :cheers: :salute: :woohoo:
