Tom,
Yes on the 426 Bucklite. It originally had a drop point blade but they soon switched it to the standard clip. These 426 models with drop point blades came with the maroon valox two-piece handle. As a reminder, the 426 was the same size as a 110. I do not recall ever seeing a 112 with a drop point but maybe someone ordered one out of the old Buck Custom Shop.
Perhaps John Foresman knows whether the Custom Shop ever produced 112s with drop point blades.

I have never seen a 112 with a drop point that was produced in the Custom Shop. Actually, relatively very few 112s were made in the shop, only about 130 over the years.

I do remember we did a few 112's with mod 500 blades to get a drop point without shortening the blade (like what happens if you grind the clip point off...)
Not many and never a series or real model offering. Just tinkering...
That would have been very early 80's
