Some Buck 112 Love

[Railsplitter]

Your subconscious knows and guided you to buy that one, knowing that it was like the one you bought originally, enjoy it.
I like the no nail nick and square bolster models also.

That might be closer to the truth than I realize. Thank you!

I always liked the small pins Buck used on the early ones. Square frames lasted a long time in part because radiusing was another step in production but customers preferred them radiused. I think the square frame makes a very slightly better grip with hard use but it is very little. Same with jimping on top of the blade. The edge is slightly different on the first ones too. Like the 110 the 112 has evolved over the years with very small changes here and there. I notice a lot of differences in finger grooves with some deep and others barley bumps.

Thought I'd post the photo of today's carry.
Then a few comparison of it and a four dot, finger groove...

This is as close as I can get to a real 112, the discontinued LT

I really like the LT..

I really like the LT..

The Eco Lite was a nice issue, I like the way it fills the hand.

One of my favorite things about the auto, is that there's no nail nick on the blade.

Yep, and the sound it makes...

The sheath is called distressed brown leather...it appears to be Nubuck leather and feels really nice and is soft and supple.

I'm not always a fan of the Yellowhorse knives, but I really like the symmetrical nature of the bolster design and the unusual animal motif (bear ?) on this knife. Very Nice !

Decided to clean this up this AM. Coffee with a whiff of Brasso? You bet!

Hey, pjsjr , I was cruising the 112 threads to see where to post this and I found a 112 from this same period (a '91, while mine is a '93) that supposedly had 425M steel. Is that what this is, do you think? I know nothing about 425. I'll have to read up on it.
