How Many Steels in 112

[ChiefTJS]

Good Evening! Any 112 collectors able to tell me how many different blade steels the 112 has been produced in over the years? I have 420HC and S30V with Magnacut up next. Thanks all.

I know the early ones were 440C and 425M before 420HC. There have been ones produced with 5160 and blades made for 112 in BG42.
I'm not sure if any were made with 154CM or D2 but it is likely. HTH

they did some d2, pretty sure I have one somewhere.


op i flagged bucksway

he'll know which other steels. he has a massive collection of 112s.

Silver Knights SFO Lil Jack was D2. There are also some in S35VN, S45VN and damascus. I'm not aware of any blades in 154CM or CPM154.

Looks like I have some hunting to do. Excellent!

112 specifically, or including the slim variants?

 

[ChiefTJS]

I would say including the slim variants. I really like the slims as well. Honestly I’m not going to be obsessing over it and try for every variant but I’d like to get the steels if possible.

I think all the steels were already more or less mentioned. I don't know what steel was used in the Damascus blades and also I have some customs done by Wilde Bill Cody (from buckaway) that were done in 1095.

Yeah, you'd drive yourself into the poor house if you tried. I got my first 110 about 50 years ago, and I've picked up a few Bucks since then. But every Sunday Picture Show, I'm amazed at how many different 112s & 110s there are.

I'm pretty sure there's a one more.. I just haven't had enough coffee yet..

Couple of custom 112's with D2 and 5160 blade steel.

No one mentioned S30V,that Buck has used for years.

The first 112 that I slimmed has this steel.

I’ve bought several different 112 with 420hc, s30v, s35vn, s45vn and might consider one in Magnacut. I know Ive seen some other 112 blade steels over the years but just can’t verifiably remember what they were.

CRS is real folks . I personally suffer from the milder version..
"Can't remember STUFF"
Others have the far more Deadly contagion "Cannot Remember #Hit"...This topic has come up on Facebook too.. I'm SURE there's one more folks. I spent 2 hours in the VA cafeteria today racking my brain with 20 Oz's of Starbucks best but just don't remember..
