Buck Knives has built the American folding-knife standard since 1902 — knives that sharpen to a working edge, lock solid when open, and don’t break the budget. The brass bolsters and hardwood handles on the classic line are the detail most other production knives don’t bother with, and the 420HC stainless blade steel holds an edge that’s easy to touch up in the field.
The 112 Ranger is the scaled-down 110 — same lockback and brass-and-wood construction in a 3-inch clip-point that slips into a pocket more easily than the original. Buck introduced the 112 in 1972 specifically for carriers who wanted the 110’s silhouette without the full-size weight and reach. The 420HC blade takes a razor edge.
Buck Knives manufactures its folding knives at its factory in Post Falls, Idaho. The company runs its own heat-treatment line — the 420HC ‘Paul Bos’ heat treat is a Buck trademark that outperforms the same steel in most other production knives — and carries a Forever Warranty against defects on every blade it makes.
