yes i do like a good user knife, this one will be spot on, i have given it a bit of a polish but i think ill leave it as it is, those bolsters really tarnish up, i remember my old copy i had back in the 80's , i used to use brasso to polish it, i was a bit OCD back then as well

Here's one for ya.

I received this one in '85 or '86 (if I remember correctly) as a birthday gift. I don't see this tang stamp on the list or I am overlooking it. The dot on the right of the less than sign is throwing me. Any ideas?

i read that they used it on the first 112 in about 1969 but changed it to wood same as the 110, i have a friend who does nice micarta i might in time get him to take this 112 apart and polish up the blade + bolsters and do micarta scales, i do like micarta

i prefer them with no nail nick as dont really need one as easy to pull out , although mine has one, i think they added the nail nick in the early 80's

Zed;Mine is a no nail nic 2 dot I got in 1974-75, At first I didn't like it, big hands hard to pinch the blade for one hand operation but I spent my aprenticeship learning to pinch the blade to flip,the 112 and LB7 turned out to be my go to knives at work As an electrician I never used a so called electricians knife but I have a Klien with 3 blades(h1,p,r3) on one pouch and a Schrade model 204 on my main pouch.Both very well made.

cool to have a good work knife,

i really like my 112, i even buffed the blade up a little bit the other day as pretty scratched up, but its a real user
