Buck 112 Finger Nail Groove.

The first 112's did not have a nail notch.
The Ranger was introduced in 1972 and the nail notch was not added until about 1980 or 1981. The guy in charge of marketing at the time convinced everyone that if Buck added the notch, the knife would sell as well as the 110 Folding Hunter which always had a notch.
We added the notch, sales stayed the same, rest is history. :rolleyes:
I hope this helps and welcome to the forums!
 
I bought one of the "notch-less" 112s on eBay some time ago. Lovely little two-dot, near mint condition... 440C I'm guessing? Anyway, I always wondered why it has no notch.
