Buck Ranger 112WB

Haebbie · Aug 13, 2009

Hi all,

I love knives with a white handle. And just now the postman brougt me another beauty:

The Ranger 112WB (white bone?).

I couldn't find the knife on the BCCI site. Does anybody know anything about
this one? The catalog Nr. is 8197

Best,
Haebbie

Don't know nuffin' bout it, except that is a fine looker. I'd be right proud to stick it in my pocket.

Ditto what Snotwad said Haebbie. Nice bone!!
What's the year of manufacture?

300Bucks · Aug 13, 2009

Flat, It's got a 1990 blade. 300

Flatlander1963 · Aug 13, 2009

Probably so 300. Buck was into bone for a couple of years then.
I wish they'd get back into bone again. Great handles.

Bass Pro Shop had 110's and 112's in white bone recently if I remember correctly and they still have the 110 on their website...

110's, but not 112's.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they had 112's, 119's too.

Sorry BS,

That recent BPS issue of bone handled Bucks is what is still currently avalible. 102, 105, 110, and 119. No 112's. I wish they would add that one! I'd get one to add to my BPS WB 110 and 119

I guess I succumbed to a little wishful thinking there, thanks for clarifying. :thumbup: A bone 112 would be nice that's for sure...

Sometimes a rotten zombie thread becomes new actuality. The old 112 WB with the catalog number 8197 found his finger grooved brother 112 WG cat. 8198. Ok, you are right, I found it. But I couldn’t find any information about the finger grooved model too. Does one of you, guys know more about this knife?

Those are really nice Haebbie! European distributors got a lot of different Bucks not common here.

Well, Clint, my thought is, the German Buck knife distributor Herbertz bought overflows, test series, bad sellers and other left overs for cheap to sell them here in Germany for a lot. One example is the 908, the Harley Davidson Bowie: the overrun without etching was offered in Germany, I think only. 110 Gray bone, Gray Corian 110/112, and now white bone grooved - it seems nobody has an idea neither it was made nor what happened with the knife anyway.

Thanks for the info on Herbertz..I wasn't aware of that bit of Buck lore. It is a cool 112!

SMKW had both I believe in a few different colors of smooth bone a couple years ago.
They also had a bone 110 with long pull too.
They were all pretty nice looking.
