My second Buck, a two dot 112.

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

My second Buck, a two dot 112.

Picked this one and its leather sheath up at a flea market a couple of weeks ago. The blade is pretty marred, I guess from aggressive attempts at sharpening. Any observations appreciated.

My first 112 was a 2 dot that I picked up at the PX in 1979 or 1980 while stationed at Fort Bragg. I no longer have that knife but I do have a different 2 dot.

I always did like the absence of a nail nick and the squared off frame. Never had a problem with the thick blade grind back then but nowadays I prefer the newer grind.

Man, somebody really tore up that blade. As you might already know, Buck recently built a 112 for BCCI with an old style blade. It wouldn’t surprise me if they still have some of those blades on hand but I don’t know that for a fact.

A few years ago Buck was replacing 110 and 112 blades for $10. The knife got repolished while they were at it.
