Buck 112
Hey guys, I need a little help from you Buck guru's.
I would like to know the age of this 112, I know you have an aging sheet, but I don't understand the different years and changes.
Thanks guy's.

Re: Buck 112
From 1973 to1985 the bucks were marked with BUCK ,a model # In your case #112 and U.S.A.
Buck started also marking or dating knives with symbols in 1986 with a different symbol for each year.
For example-
1986 <
1987 >
1988 ^
1989 v
1990 X
1991 +
1992 -
1993 /
1994 \
Well you get the point!
With that tang your knife was made between 73 and 85.

I'd call it at 73 or 74.
They went to *112* sometime in 74.
Nice knife.

Cool knife Johnny!
I bought a herd of knives a while back and this was buried in the bottom of the pile. After I threw out all the Chinese trotline weights, I think the cost per knife of what I had left worked out to be about 8 bucks. This was one of the keepers.

Re: Buck 112
Wullie,
your actually the reason I got this knife, I was looking back at some old posts and saw your 112, I really liked it so I asked my grandfather if he had any 112s for sale or trade, he pulled it out of his box O knives and handed it to me.
Gino,
you really should get a 112, their great knives.
Rocinante,
glad you like it, and thanks for the wisdom.

Re: Buck 112
LOL,
Johnnie. I never gave this one much thought until you posted yours. I sharpened it up night before last and she'll pop the hair right off your arm now.
I guess I've got you to thank now.

Re: Buck 112
That version came in two different scales. Segua wood and Ebony.....Its hard to tell in photos ....but I am hedging toward Ebony because of the stripes. Sequa is usually light in color and has lots of grainy surface visible to eye and touch.......300

Re: Buck 112
What type of blade steel is the two dot three pin 112's?

Re: Buck 112
That steel would be 440C.
And I would say the slabs on the knife in question could be Segua. It's just a bit more likely that they are the Ebony as 300 said. To me it is pretty much impossible to tell for sure from that picture.

Re: Buck 112
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 wellgarddogg56 wrote:Zed;Don't feel shame your knife had useage art on it, well worn like a bone knife with pocket ware

Re: Buck 112
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?
