The 100th Buck of the Month has arrived, a new and (as usual) very limited version of the 112 Ranger. This is a stylish and high-performance rendition of this close relative of Buck’s most famous folder.
These days, the 112 Ranger’s fan base can stand comparison even with that of the almighty Folding Hunter. Maybe this is because its dimensions are more amenable to the modern EDC aficianado’s needs than its bigger brother – or maybe Buck addiction has seized the knife community and, upon acquiring their first of the company’s famous folders, enthusiasts immediately need another model to lust after, order, and eagerly await in the mail. We’ve all been there.
Either way, this is an admirably restrained collector’s version of the 112 Ranger, tailored for performance as much as shelf-bound perfection. The 3-inch drop point blade is made from S35VN, a proven super steel staple, here enhanced by the crucial Bos heat treat; the long pull nail mark here provides the sole method of opening the knife and a very tangible connection to the earliest iterations of this long-running 110 descendant.
This 112 Ranger’s handle differs from the common run of the model in that it is single bolster, with the majority of the handle comprised of marbled carbon fiber scales. There is a pocket clip added on to this Ranger too, so it can be carried in a more modern fashion. This pocket clip comes stamped with the Buck anvil, and it is deep carry – although, also worth noting is that it is not a reversible clip. The Buck of the Month 112 Ranger weighs 5.4 oz.
It’s out now – only 500 pieces total!
