Buck 112?

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Buck 112?

Post by Clown »

Hello. I've been dying to get my hands on a 112 for quite some time. I love my 110 but I find just a bit too large for edc. Does anyone know if any of the larger sporting goods stores or --mart stores carry them? I can't remember the last time I bought a knife from a brick and mortar store and for some reason I'd kind of like to with this one :)

Also if anyone wants to share any pics or stories of their 112's please feel free. I'd love to see an in-hand pic if anyone has one.

I bought a 113 Ranger-Skinner at Dick's Sporting Goods in Jacksonville NC this past week - they had a pretty good selection of Buck fixed blade and folding knives (but I didn't go through the folders as I was looking for a fixed blade - so I don't specifically remember looking at a 112).

There's a Dicks right down the road from me. Maybe I'll swing by tomorrow and check on their selection. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the pictures! I didn't find any at Dicks so I ended up ordering one online. I can't wait til it gets here. Next I'll have to give some of the slipjoints a try:)

My 112 showed up yesterday! It's exactly what I was hoping for. Can't wait to drop in in my jeans pocket and put it to use!
