Buck 112 "Nail Nick" Questions

[bertl]

For lefties the position of the nail nick is like a lot of things—monitor and adjust.

When are diamonds a leftie's best friend? When they are baseball diamonds.

Hmm, I guess they're out there.

A couple of SAKs...

I always thought a fuller would look cool on a 110. It would add to its hunting image and It would act as a long ambidextrous nail nick.

Interesting idea. Perhaps something like this...

 

[eveled]

Something like that. There was a small run of 110’s that had a long nail nick that looked like a fuller but was only on one side. Maybe someone has a picture? I think it had “Buck” inlayed into the handle too.Found it! This is from an old thread DeSotoSky posted in. A SMK exclusive.

 

[TAH]

Yep, I like those long pulls. I thought you meant something a little wider.

Ha Ha I'm guessing eveled did not read this entire thread.

Lol! I thought I did, but obviously didn’t. Thanks for the reality check. DeSotoSky

It’s been a rough week full of double shifts in hot attics.

Yes TAH a wider fuller would be nicer.

I’m definitely in the no Nick at all would be best camp.

Buck 112 3 dot w/o w nail nick

I did not know a 3 dot with no nick existed.

Either I'm losing out to old-timer's disease or that's a real rare knife.

Is it a case where one was mistakenly let through without the nick being applied?

As mentioned earlier in this thread, Joe Houser's Ranger timeline shows the 3 dot being produced in 1980 and 81, with the addition of a nail nick somewhere in between. Not sure how rare. Here's my one and only 3 dot - it's a tank...

Very nice.

I don't think I ever saw one before.

I have a 3 dot 112 that has been customized with horn handles and a little file work on the blade spine, but no nail-nick. Can't be THAT rare if I have one ;-)

My 3 dot has no nail nick either.
