112 Shedua wood? Pictures.

[Brhowser87]

I wanted to update - it only took 9 years but I finally sent that Shedua in to Buck and they returned it a few weeks later in beautiful condition - I am having trouble updating my web site at the moment, so I will just attach the pictures I took today to the post. Thank you to Buck for the wonderfully finished spa treatment!

9 year update? That's awesome. Did Buck definitively identify the type of wood for ya?

Hi Brh -

They didn't have to, it is pretty obvious, particularly when compared to ebony examples, check the original posts back from 2009. Thanks for the reply!

Got ya. I'm not to good at identifying wood types on handles. You could have a pine tree glued to your knife and tell me it was redwood and I would have to believe you. anyway when a wood is brought up that I'm not familiar with I like to ask. Extremely nice knife, looks great after the spa.

It is shedua wood not just because the color looks right. The stamp is right for that era 112 and no nail nick in the blade. This 3rd version 112 is hard to find. As well as the 2 before it. DM

They are getting harder to find for certain, David.

Just beautiful! Is the rear spacer on ^ your's brass or stainless? Maybe difficult to find because they are now 47 yrs. old. DM

That has to be about one of the best looking knife pics that I've seen on the forums.

That one has a brass spacer, and I have another that was carried and used but otherwise is in great shape with a steel spacer.

I missed one a few years ago that Chuck signed on the bolster in 1973..It ended up in the Buck museum because of the early sig on the bolster. If I remember correctly it was $150.00 plus and I wish I had gotten it..

Great picture, Haebbie!

I didn't realize you were a 112 collector.

Love the early 112 variations and the Blond color of shedua is tops!

What is this one

 

[mqqn]

I looks like a refinished and possibly re-scaled early ranger - but a great knife to have and nice pictures to boot!

I love the texture in the wood -
