I didn't realize that Buck had been around for 100 years until I saw the 100 year Buck Folding Hunter (110)in 2002.
However I picked up the Buck 100 year Ranger (Model 112) that came in a tin box with pouch (hidden under the inner tray) and lapel pin - all for just under $25 from Wal*Mart.
100 Year Buck Ranger 112 (2002) with pouch and lapel pin, and scale medallion detail -
I also have the earlier 25th year Anniversary Folding Hunter (110) knife - 1988 -
The differences may reflect some of the changes (not necessarily all for the better)
The 25th Anniversary 110 has solid ebony scales, with nickle silver bolsters, and its blade is hollow-ground but has a zero-bevel true convex edge.
The 100 Year Ranger has laminated wood scales, with brass bolsters, and its blade has a just detectable separate edge bevel - on its own one might think it's a zero-bevel edge - but when compared side-by-side with the 1988 110 - one can easily see it is not.
