I’ll have to admit I have only two 112s currently. A custom shop brass and walnut with s30v clip point blade and a January 2020 botm, NS bolsters, sculpted cocobolo scales with a drop point S35vn blade that’s my favorite knife. I don’t use them as often as my 110s but when I want to whittle or carve on some wood they are nice to work with. I try to use them when I can but I guess that most of the time I need a bigger blade.
About six years ago in our local farm store I bought the first one, a standard 112 brass and nice looking macassar ebony, 420hc clip point to try out and I really liked it.
A day or two later my son in law, Sam was out for a visit and we were enjoying some target shooting when I needed to trim and cut some wood stakes for anchors. I pulled out the 112 to whittle the stakes and Sam took notice of the 112. I finished the stakes and handed it to him to check it out. He smiled and said that’s the perfect knife! I smiled back and said it’s yours now . He was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning and his eyes were sparkling and jaw hanging in surprise as I handed the sheath to go with it. He carries it out fishing, camping and hunting and has made good use of it but not on his job as he’s afraid of loosing it. I’ve also bought a few 112 slims for my older grandkids and they love them.
