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

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

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.

These Buck knives are like artwork. So beautiful you don't want to scratch them or even smudge the polished brass or blade. Just the weight of the knives is more than you would anticipate. Great quality build for these knives. I have 2 of the 3 models in this build. Will get the 3rd on soon. Well worth the money paid. You could pay more but not get better quality

What can you say about a Buck knife that hasn’t already been said, high quality and craftsmanship. The price was great. I have a Buck 110 that is forty years old and performs as good as the day it was bought. I had to get the 112

I bought this because I thought I should get one. My grandpa had a 110 for years and I had used it but I never had one of my own. I have to say that I still prefer a lightweight knife as this one is heavy. Out of the box, the blade was wicked sharp. However, the action was horrible. It was very gritty and there were shavings in the pivot. I had to flush it out a few times and oil it up. Now I know that they are stiff out of the box but there really wasn’t a reason to have all that junk in there. The ergonomics are great. It feels perfect in the hand. It’s also a beautiful knife. The build quality is also fantastic aside from the crud in the pivot area. The lockback is strong and a I have absolutely no worries about this knife coming loose either in the pocket or while using it. It’s a classic for a reason and I’m glad that I have one, although to be honest, it’s not something that I carry every day. I think I’m gonna buy one of the slim versions of this is to try out as an EDC knife, but I can see why so many people still to this day buy one of these. These knives are built great they’re insanely sharp, easy to sharpen and very strong.
