Buck Knives 112 Ranger Lock-back Knife, Brass Bolsters, Ebony Handles, 3" 420HC Blade with Leather Sheath

The Buck 112 is all the knife most people will ever really need for daily carry. It's the perfect size for most jobs; not too big or too small. It's quite sharp out of the box, able to easily cut through anything from cardboard boxes, paper, cordage, fruit, vegetables, meat and game hide--just about anything you'll need a knife to do. It can be a tad stiff at first, so you'll need to add a drop or so of vegetable or olive oil to its base, then work it back and forth for a bit. However, I would advise one to be quite careful while working it around. As I'd mentioned previously, this girl is sharp! As an aside, I think the accompanying leather case is a nice touch, as well. I noticed that it is made in Mexico! Mexican leather goods have acquired a solid and deserved reputation for excellence! I was pleased to see that! That about wraps it up for ne. Cheers!

My order was received in a timely fashion for the Buck 112. This is actually a more compact version of the Buck 110 and I LOVE IT! The workmanship is incredible and it is an absolute beauty to look at! It is massively over built and feel it will last a very long time. If you are looking for an affordable, beautiful and well built knife that just so happens to made here in the USA you need to look no further!

This is a Buck Knife....They are the best. Period. I carried one in the Army for close to 29 years. I still carry it. I'll probably carry it when I make the big PCS. I bought new three of these for the men in the family (Rangers, Studs, Engineers) and they look identical to my 45 year old Buck. This one will never inadvertently close on you and chop off your fingers. You can pound in nails with it. You can pound heads with it. It holds an edge forever. I still have the original leather carry case...totally functional after 45 years.. You will not be disappointed.

The Buck knives are fantastic and with the famous forever warranty what more could you ask for?

I’ve got several knives from Buck Knives and the 112 is the younger brother to the 110. I’ve had an older Buck 110 that I got brand new from the early 1980’s, a 3 dot which now I have retired because it has become a collectors item. So I needed a new go-to knife and the new 112 came about a week ago. I decided to give the blade a hand polish treatment to knock off the factory satin finish. 600 wet and dry, 1500, and 8000. I used the sandpaper dry and cut into long thin strips and frequently changed the sandpaper. . It’s turned into a show knife, and I’m not sure how much upkeep it will need to maintain the polish, but it sure looks good. BTW, you can get the same knife already polished from the custom shop for double the price. My sandpaper came in at about $10.00 and absolutely no danger of taking the temper out of the blade with hand polishing. Cheers

It's a Buck you can't go wrong

Amazon failed to deliver this knife to me the first time, so I ordered a second. This time there was a good deal of what I would assume is grinding grit on the inside of the knife. Nothing that can't be cleaned up. The one MAJOR flaw is that my knife came literally unsharpened. Not just dull, but unsharpened. It's like it missed this step entirely when at the factory. Buck is apparently known for being razor sharp out of the box, but mine has absolutely no edge to speak of. Completely flat blade. I am going to exchange it and give this one more chance. 3rd time is a charm???EDIT - Received my replacement knife and after a quick few passes on the leather stropp, this thing is SHARP!! It still had grinding grit on the internals, but after a quick clean I can say this one solidly built beautiful knife! Changes my review to 4 stars.

Beautiful knife. Very solid. I appreciate the slight curve on the handle near the blade, works like a guard si you can really grip it. The 3” blade length makes it legal to carry in many places but not all—check ahead if you want it as an everyday carry. For me the blade did come paper-cut sharp, but not scary sharp. I could feel a burr on the blade but that’s manageable and I know I’ll be sharpening it as time goes on, looks like that may be a while.I wish there was a size between the 55 and the 112, but at the same time this one is small enough for a men’s pocket, possible sideways on a women’s pocket. And it feels solid without being overly heavy, which I like. The sheaths it comes with is beautiful stiff and sturdy leather with even thick stitching. Mexico has high quality leather, don’t let import rumors dismay you. The knife itself is made in America, which for me adds to the legend of this classic American knife. I highly recommend it—buy and enjoy.
