Got my first fake Buck knife this week. A 112 but not really

STEELHEADBULLY · Oct 12, 2018

Got this in the mail this week. the handle was loose and fell off within minutes of me handling it. didn't look at it much past that until just a few minutes ago when I went to take pictures to send to the seller and I noticed it seemed odd, then I took out my only other 112's and noticed some distinct differences. Take a look, How many differences? at least a few

Yep, I'd say it was fake.

Carma getting back at you for getting those Camel Bone Bowies....

Camel, such a dirty animal...….I would only have the finer animals in my collection, Giraffe's and Mammoth's

Wow, never seen one of those before. But I don't look for 112's either.
The first thing I saw is the curve for the finger on the front bolster isn't right.
Brass appears to be cast and not milled, and the spacer is cast in to one side
In 2009 Buck wasn't doing laser tang stamp on the 112, nor does it look right.
pivot pin appears to be brass rather than SS.
Nail nick is short.
Lock bar is different as well.
That's just from a quick glance.

I used to see SUPREME marked 110's on eBay for really ridiculous prices like say $500. I never got what was so special about them. From what I could figure out it was branded merchandise from a skateboard shop in New York with a cult following. Was someone trying to cash in on that? They could have done it just as easily with a real 112... go figure.

Interestingly, there is another SUPREME 112 on the bay right now, that one has a stamped tang stamp and a bar code label on the box. Also a 2009. Looks more legit.

Supreme is also a food service company, not as cool as a skate shop.

I put that 112 on my buy list because of the ridiculous price asked for it..I knew all Buck collectors who search Ebay would recognize it because of that screaming logo and that makes it odd. It has two different colored handles but I just wanted to have one in the toy box lol! I thought I had one for under $50.00 but after 3 days the listing just disappeared..
