112 Rams Horn & 532 Giraffe Bone

[mater]

I received these 2 yesterday and they are beauties. I was a little disappointed when I found out the 112 was not NS but when I opened the package I was well pleased with the look of the brass. I have the 112 Elk and the Duke due Monday.

Nice knives. I personally think brass and ram look better together than ram and NS.

Very nice. I'm waiting for those two myself.

Giraffe Bone is one of the best looking 532. Wonder to see it with brass bolster.
Do you know guys if any 532 with brass was produced?

 

[pitsandpythons]

Dang it...Had to order the Ram after seeing yours..

Mind posting a picture of the 532's sheath ?

I agree...the brass highlights the honey color in the horn...with the blade making a striking contrast...

I'll have to look for a similar 110 and think on that a little...

I know how you feel as I have done the same thing after seeing a picture of one posted.

After looking at mine I have to agree.

The sheath is actually a 500 sheath. My older 532 has a 532 sheath.

Nice knives! I like the ram horn a lot.

All new 532's come with 500 sheaths these days.

Any size differences between the old 532 sheaths and the 500 sheaths other than the number stamp??

Yes, Gordon, there is a difference between the old 532 and the 500 sheath: The 532 is a bit smaller and it is sewed at one side and not all around. If you like I can take a picture.

And I agree with Trax. The last custom shoppe 110 I got was Ram/Brass and it looks fantastic.

If you like I can take a picture.

Thanks for the offer Hab but no need as I'll be getting one in the mail shortly.
I purchased a 1991 532 on flee bay just the other day. It has the original sheath so I'll look at it then.

Since we are talking Bucklocks...this 1991 knife has J.R. etched on the bolster. Could this be a factory feature to indicate the 532 is little brother to the 531?? Or maybe a proto?? Or most likely the knife was a gift to Junior.

Here it is:

What do you'z guys thinks?? The box say Bucklocker and that seems different to me I don't know.

Anyhow I took a pic'.



The left one is the 532 sheath, the right one from a 500.

Best,

I have one just like it with the same sheath but mine does not have JR on it.
