Of course! When you cant find one yourself, maybe Santa has one in his sack:-D!

About 'the perfect knife' I'll keep looking on ebay and other sites. The most important features for me are the nickel silver bolsters and staghandles. I can go with the 420 Hc. IIt's also a nice blade and as someone said-Image is everything:-D

Claes, unfortunately Buck doesn't offer the 112 Folding Ranger as a choice in their online Custom Shop. I wish they had the 55 model as an option (half size of the 110). A must buy is their DVD video. It's$20, but for members it is only $8. USA Dollars. Not sure if it is region free or USA/Canada only.

Hi Claes!

Congratulations on your new 112 Ranger, it's a great knife.

You're right, the "Custom Shop" at Buck's website doesn't give the option of customizing a 112.  Only the 110 Hunter, the Alpha Hunter (fixed blade), and the 500 series... 501, 503, 505

Maybe one of the 500's would suit you.  They're lockbacks like the 112.  You can customize with stag scales and upgrade the steel to S30V.

Here's a link, although I think you already have it:

Hmmmm, I wonder if they will ship a custom to Sweden, you might want to contact them first.

Howdy, Claes!

My very first Buck knife was the Ranger 112 And, like you, I also fell in love with the size and shape of it. It would be several years before I finally purchased the iconic 110. Then I became obsessed with it, as well!

As far as I know there were a limited number of 112's that Buck made back in 2006 for the BCCI (Buck Collectors Club International) that were almost exactly as you described as your dream knife. If I recall there were 175 made?

They were really sweet, too! Sambar stag with finger grooves - Nickel silver bolsters and pins - S30V "drop point" blade!<----WOW!

I have only seen pictures of these custom Collectors Club knives. I have never actually held one in my hand. But I know they are out there. Of course, if you find one, you can expect to pay a pretty hefty price for it since Buck claimed that they would not be making anymore custom 112's.

That's about all I know. Good luck in your quest to find the ultimate knife!

Cheers!

Hello Bucklovers!

I just recently became a member and it was when I was looking for a custom Ranger I thumbled over this side.  A while ago I bought my first Ranger after a lot of reading and comparing. It's a standard 112, the only one you can find here in Sweden:'(. But I'm allready in love with it! In my opinion its the perfekt folder. The look, the weightand the overall quality! I, m now looking  for a custom. I would like one with nickelsilver bolsters, stagplates and a customblade. I hoped to be able to order one at the customshop but it seems like they dont take any orders. Does anyone know how it works or is there any other way to get my perfect knife? Take care out there!
