Buck Knives 112 Folding Ranger Knife & Leather Sheath

The 112 Folding Ranger Knife is a classic & traditional favorite! It all began with the 110 Folding Hunter knife. The 110 could be found on a lot of sailor's belts in the Navy. One day, a couple of soldiers got into a fight & the 110 Folding Hunter was used. As a result, the captain issued a decree that knives carried could not have a blade length of a certain size. The 110 ended up being too long, so Buck Knives took the initiative & created the Ranger, a smaller version of the 110. The 112 Ranger has since become another traditional favorite!  Made in USA.

   Special Features & Information

   •    420HC Steel ~ This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add Buck's exclusive heat-treat process & you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance & durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance Buck Knives hardens to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.

   •    Blade Shape - Clip Point ~ The crescent tip makes the blade thinner with a sharper point. This shape provides good control for detail work & cutting in tight places. It is also well suited for intentional punctures like new holes in your belt, etc. While the point of the blade is effective for detail work, it's not as strong as the thicker points on drop points & skinners.
