This group is for anyone with interest in Buck Knives. If you own, collect, carry, or use a Buck knife, then this is the group for you. Please join us!
But if you get a Hoodlum you have to get a Punk and if you get a Hoodlum and Punk you have to get a Thug . . . and then you sort of have to get a Reaper too.
Data, you have a good point. I want them all, but I probably won't get them all. I also want the Bantam's with the new camo handles. At least they are more affordable.
That code really works. 40% is a huge saving! I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I just may get a custom 110 that I've wanted for a while? I'll have to sleep on it.
I have to say I am beginning to really like the new Buck Sentry. They seem to be going after the SOG Seal Pup market with this one. Hopefully they will come out with a non-serrated version soon.
I haven't kept up with Buck knives for years (I used to collect them MANY years ago), but I came across this fixed blade based on the 112. I think it's very cool!
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!
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!
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:
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.
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
I got the Hoodlum from my wife for Christmas. Nice knife!! I Love it. It adds very nicely to my Buck knives collection. I am just in the process of taking pictures of some of the interesting ones in my collection and will post them soon.

James, nice 110. The upside-down T means it was made in 2004, the last year they were made in El Cajon, CA before moving to Post Falls, ID.
