Buck 110's little brother the 112 let's see them :tu:
My dad bought this for me for my 13th birthday back in the early eighties. I picked this one over the regular one cause I thought the finger grooves were cool and I still do. :tu:

The 112 has a great grip, even without finger grooves. Such a sweet little knife. Substantial, to be sure, but can ride in a pocket.

The 112 model is one knife that has been on my list. Yet, to find one in any stores that I have found Buck knives. Either they sell very fast, or retailers do not order, or Buck does not offer to distribution channel allowing any margin.
May have to order from factory, actually 2, one stock for EDC and one customized.
I like my 110, and love the 55. The 112 should be equally lovable in my mits.

It's funny, I've spoken with a number of guys who find their way to the 112 and end up deciding it's their favorite knife. I get that. I really like 110's, but the 112 has this innate appeal. Very handy knife and easier to tote than a 110. And there is a subtle difference in the grip of the 112 that I find very appealing. You definitely need to give one a try. :tu:

In 1981, when I was 30, a friend of mine wanted a black powder rifle I had, so I suggested that we go to the local gun shop and find something that he could buy to trade me for the rifle. When I saw the finger grooves on the Buck 112 I had to have it, so he bought it and swapped it for the rifle.
That's the rest of the story.

Nice, that memory adds to the sentimental value for sure. :cheers:

Cool story !
It would have been 1980 when I got mine, took a trip over to St. Paul to Joe's sporting goods. Knowing my dad they must of had a sale on to go all the way over there just for a knife. :D
Just put a coat of mink oil on my sheath :tu:

It's like a little time machine. Just seeing the knife instantly transports me back to the day I got it.

Here's an interesting one:
(https://i.imgur.com/lQaC2Cx.jpg)
The steel is 5160. Scales are stabilized wood (probably Buck's Diamond Wood).
I'm a sucker for 5160. It isn't very stain resistant being a medium-carbon spring steel, but it sure seems to take an edge and is as tough as....an old Ford-150 leaf spring. Buck doesn't seem to use it much, but I'd kinda like to see some more of their 110's and 112's in 5160.

The third of my little collection: oak scales, S30V steel where it counts:
(https://i.imgur.com/frGizSd.jpg)
These 112's have great hand feel. And they are super little performers for their size. Old school, a little quaint, charming and reliable, they're the Hobbits of the Buck folder world. Love 'em.
-
Question: do they come in a non locking model? I'm guessing the blade is 75mm or less? Is the type without the finger grooves common? Lovely lovely knives.

Oh, dear, Mags....
There's bad news: they do come with finger groves. And the blade, from bolster to pointy bit is 72mm.....
There's also good news: Buck is a safety-minded company and only make these with a safety lock. :)

Good news: non finger groove available. Also 72mm is a legal length in the UK.
Bad news: not available in non locking so not UK legal. ???

Need some assistance, please. (I know there will several opinions too!)
I have a couple 112s in my cart on amazon, the also at Wally World.
First question, regarding blade type, clip point or drop point?
I like both as pictured here - (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180218/2c54eda64a688fbd181c4bdf0d963618.jpg) and I expect the 112 is also hallow grind.
Second is regarding scale material.
G10 is aluminum or other metal? Smooth or textured? Could not tell by pictures.
Black wood, is this a type of wood or just a finish to the diamond wood or oak? The 2 most common.
I will want BOS treated steel, correct?
Thanks

Just to be clear I am posting pictures of a Buck 112 clip point and a drop point.
G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, a kind of composite material. It is extremely tough.
I would think that black wood should just be the stained Diamond wood
I personally prefer the clip blade, but you might prefer the drop point
The steel used in the Buck 112 will be BOS heat treat.(it just won't say it on the blade) The 420HC steel is BOS heat treated.
Justen Bock, the Product Development and Engineering Manager at Buck Knives explains
“Buck is a Market Leader in Edge Retention”
Of the many steels Buck uses, the most popular is its 420HC. It’s not the most advanced or expensive steel but it is consistently praised for a performance boost owing to Paul Bos’ heat treat recipe. Bos, one of America’s foremost authorities on heat treating steel, has developed the ‘recipes’ used for many of Buck’s steels. “Buck is a market leader in edge retention thanks to our steel selections and heat treat process pioneered by Paul Bos,” says Bock. “[His] heat treating system has proven to be the best in the business.” Bos’ proprietary process is an industry secret, but it’s not exclusive to Buck Knives.
They only print it on the Custom Shop blades, but the BOS heat treat plant is in the Buck plant.

EDIT: VICMAN beat me to the 'enter' button, but I'll leave my similar comments below.
LoopCutter,
Tough choices here.
I've only had clip points, and I like 'em. Drop points look good, though. Might be task related or a matter of personal preference.
The clip point is the classic design. (see my 112 pictured above)
G-10 is a synthetic material like micarta. It's a non-metalic, fiberglass laminated with a resin. Very strong and tough. It can be textured, but Buck makes it fairly smooth.
I'm not sure about the Black wood. I suspect that it is a dyed or stained wood. I've never had an issue with Buck's wood scales, but if you live somewhere with big fluctuations in humidity, a synthetic or horn may have some advantage.
Buck does their own heat treating for the 420HC. I like what they get with their 420HC.
Paul Bos does the heat treat for their S30V and 5160. I love what they get with those steels. They cost more, but those are pricier steels.
Good luck with choosing! (Or, you can be stupid like me and just get a couple versions. But you do need at least one. ;))

You guys need to stop starting threads like this...
And FYI:
A drop point has more material in it's spine near the tip. Therefore it's more supported and stronger.
It'll be less of a piercer though.

I was doing some comparisons myself this morning (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180218/70045bb93b9251e78c6049cf1a07c5ec.jpg)110 & 55

Well, you definitely need a 112 Ranger.
The Squire seems to be pretty close in size the the 55, from what I can see. But it lacks the 112's chunky feel in the hand. The 112's handle is about the same thickness as the 110. Which is a good thing.
I think the 112 actually feels chunkier because it is shorter. The 110 is long and elegant, an American Quarter Horse. The 112 is a hard-kickin' Missouri Mule.

Yes, those are original inlays. Learned from the big-time Buck collectors that the first Ranger versions built had micarta, then they switched to segua/shedua wood, later yet ebony.
-
Very cool.
I didn't realize they were using micarta that early. :tu:
-
Yup, I only learned myself a few years ago that Buck was using 440C and real ebony wood in the earlier 110/112 series knives. That got me interested and I purchased some examples, and eventually I found about the really early micarta 112s and even found one to buy. Wasn't exactly cheap but I do like it! :D
-
That is a cool 112 Frankki :tu:

:iagree:. I love vintage!

I have this 112LT that rides in front right pocket. It is a nice carry option and not to much larger than my BBW.

Not being satisfied with the status quo is what motivates invention.In my case I just like tinkering with knives.I enjoy working on them to make them function more efficiently or modify them to fit a certain need or desire.
This one of those that I modified to satisfy that need for a more compact Buck 1112 Ranger.
These pictures should tell that story.

Very cool.
For myself, I really value the 'chunky' feel of my beloved 112. But, it looks like you did a great job there! :tu:

Mine is the first version of 112 made, with Micarta inlays and inverted tang stamp. Made in 1972. It is nice.
Sheath not original but close enough.

That's very cool Frankki,congratulations.
I am fortunate to live in the USA and have more ready access to these old classics.
I just checked and found three Micarta models and two with Segua wood handles in my collection.
I'll try and remember to take some pics tomorrow.

These Buck Micarta 112's were my holy grail for several years.When they appear for sale,they usually attract a lot of attention.
Remember they were made for only one year,1972.

Could someone please explain why I'm checking out a topic from two months ago about a Buck 112 while my tool budget is at an all time low ... ?
:facepalm:
And why do these Bucks have to look soooo nice ... :ahhh
As a kid I had a fake Buck (next to my fake SAK ::)). That fake SAK was the main reason why, for a long time, I used to think that SAKs were cr*p and the only real tool was a Leatherman, until I got myself a real SAK. So I just know that it's going to be the same with a real Buck (those fake ones can really "damage" the reputation of a brand for people who don't know much about tools).
Anyway, don't mind me, I'm going to stay drooling here for a while :drool:.

TG two four.....I'm sure there is a way we could get a proper Buck 112 into your hands...... >:D

I thought about asking one of you guys in the U.S. to maybe help me get one straight from the U.S. :-[.
But then I found one (new) over here for 75 Euro ($83), so I figured after shipping, customs fee and import tax they would have to be very cheap in the U.S. to make it a better deal than the one I get when I buy one locally
So my plan is to set aside whatever I can and try to get enough "tool-budget" around Christmas to get myself a Buck for Christmas (which sounds like a true classic Christmas gift ;)).

It really is a lovely bit of kit McS, mines rock solid, no play at all :tu:
The backspring feels a bit lighter than on my 110’s but still firm enough. With the lower weight and slimmer scales it does feel a little different in the hand but in a good way IMO
Being definitely slimmer is the obvious thing you notice but the micarta gives good grip and the clip isn’t an issue for me, lies flat in the hand, no major hot spots but you can feel that it’s there
It’s one of my all time favourite knives without a doubt

I sometimes do the same like TG on some knifes.
But generally I like the original angle Buck puts on to them, so I'm trying to match it (by optical assessment, not measuring).

There are two basic models of the Slim Select. The color variety made with nylon scales and have the short pocket clip, with 420HC blade steel. The 2nd variety is called the Slim Select Pro, (what Nix says he has), Scales are different, Black is G10, the Tan and Green are Micarta, with S30V blade steel. This is another varient, of this model a Pro+, G10 scales, Red Micarta liners and S35VN blade steel.
The LT version is the nylon scales, no liners, thick handle as a traditional, but very light.
I do not believe the Slim Select Pro, Pro+, or LT are being manufactured any longer. The Plain Slim Selects are yet listed on the Buck Web site. Some colors are offered at sale price till that color is gone.
IMHO, AWL models are very good blades, and built solid for hard use. The Pro models are very good lookers as well with updated steel. With pocket clip the right deep in pocket and fitted with thumbs the for one handed opening.

Thanks LoopCutter, appreciate your help :tu:
I should have been more clear as I'm thinking about the nylon handled versions, I already have a slim select pro in green micarta (picture above)
You're quite right that the Pro's and LT's aren't being made anymore, but I've seen some LT's for sale locally about $15 cheaper than the current plain slim select
Since my post I've noticed that the LT's don't seem to have a thumb stud, (which leans me towards the slim select), the only other difference I see is the finish on the scales, but otherwise it sounds like they're very similar from what you say?
:cheers:

A RED Slim Select is a pocket rider almost everyday for PST 4 years. I just acquired two Tans on Saturday less that 20. And have maybe every color made except black for future needs.
Best value in cut technology.

Great finds LC :like: :tu:
-
You're quite right that the Pro's and LT's aren't being made anymore, but I've seen some LT's for sale locally about $15 cheaper than the current plain slim select
I see a 112 Slim Pro TRX on Buck's website. I think the 'TRX' stands for torx bolts.

And that Ranger sport looks pretty sweet....

Unsealed micarta, smooth and grippy...

The bolster around the blade pivot is wider compared to the regular Rangers...
(https://i.imgur.com/smWOfdz.jpg)
The back portion of the tang is better covered in closed position as well due to it...
(https://i.imgur.com/yKof0LK.jpg)
All torx screwed construction is great! But the thumb stud is pressed on, which annoys me, because it gets in the way with my Lansky sharpening system (I might change them to somehing screwed)...

Due to the aluminum frame it's quite a bit lighter than a regular 112, and together with the deep carry pocket clip it carries very well in my front pockets. I love it :tu:
-
:ahhh
Nice!
I'm not sure about the thumb stud. I think there is one on my Slim Shady Pro. Makes it quite modern feeling. But I'm never sure I need it and it can only get in the way. On the other hand, sometimes OHO is a nice feature.....
That's how I ended up with two Griptilians. First one had a thumbstud. And then I discovered the Sheepsfoot model without a stud...... :facepalm:
-
:rofl: ...thanks Jack :cheers:
The thumb studs work well for me on this one.
On the 110 Slim Pro TRX I seem to have too small medium hands :dunno:
I have some screw on replacement thumb studs coming in in a few days/weeks and will see if they would fit.

Thanks, you just made life tougher for me :-[
I was going to get an orange Slim Select and would have been happy. But after seeing your Ranger Sport I find myself smitten with it 😍 . However, I am currently waiting on my wife to give her consent on me purchasing a Paladin PT-525. There is no way she is going say yes to it and the Ranger Sport. The PT-525 would be a major addition to my electrical MT collection. But that knife looks so good to me :poh:
-
Thanks
and sorry Adam :D
If you can get your hands on a SOG Paladin PT-525 then go for it. The Ranger Sport will be there for a while ;)

My own Buck 112 Ducks Unlimited commemorative.

They're very nice TG :tu:

Here are a pair of 112's with N/S frames, genuine Ebony handles and S30V drop point blades.
Buck only made 62 of these and sold them on their site as "Web Specials".

I found these on that page, slim Select models with nail knicks, no thumb stud.
The Red a back to my EDC and the Pro may become my EDC #2 rotation selection :ahhh
The muddy girl BBW is just a pretty knife, nail nick blade a big plus!

Not knowing the whole diameter or the full measurements of most of the thumb studs available to buy I'm glad to announce that it was a success... I think :salute:
Took my time on this not to dremel into anything important :ahhh

The titanium thub studs from here...
https://www.flytanium.com/item/684/Titanium-Thumbstud-Kit-for (https://www.flytanium.com/item/684/Titanium-Thumbstud-Kit-for)
...are made for various Benchmade knifes and needed some filing unfortunately, because the whole in the blade was a millimeter too small and drilling it wider is not to my liking being it S30V...
(https://i.imgur.com/PF8pdyj.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/bcCDKn7.jpg)
At the end there was one full turn of screw available for the female part. But I could tighten it up just fine, and it works. I guess titanium is tougher after all. Still, I wanted to add some Loctite for peace of mind...

I like it much better than the original. It's smaller, appears to fit better, and is removable now...

I’m am thank you , the 110 will always remain my favourite out of the two but the 112 makes for a better carry a lot of the time

I feel the same about it. It's like a shrunken, no, a shortened 110 :tu:
