Ever since i saw David Martins modified 103 with a clip point ive been tempted to grind one out for myself. Then the 212s started showing up. Love the size, would make a great EDC knife, lots of great blade steels and handle materials. Phenolic, aluminum, cherry, lucite, stag, micarta, horn, 420, W2 and D2. All at a reasonable price point

Beautiful collection, I believe you have em all so far. They've come a long way from sneaking that blue lucite LE in there on us.
 
Stunning collection of one of my favorite patterns. Plus you take great pictures.

I only have one but use it a lot. It’s a great size.

Don’t break up that set.
 
Those are awesome Mike! I really want to get the one from SKblades, but I'm holding out until I see the pricing on the compadre, which I want more. I was thinking the 212 with one of those LT 110's would make a nice hiking combo. I keep thinking a 119 would be fabulous, but that's a bit more to sneak into an already full loadout, and probably more than I really need to slice up sausage, cheese, and spread some PB&J.

Makael Makael how does that lucite feel in hand? It looks like it would be like trying to hold onto a greased up watermelon when wet, based on the stock photos I've seen. I like the coloring though.

Feels fine. I would imagine dirty would feel very sliopery.
 
Great collection of 212s, Mike.
I posted pictures of my LE Legacy 212 in a recent SPS...but, here it is again. Handsome knife.

Cool stuff is that sheath you made, bottom pic on the Left :thumbsup: Nice setup for the 212s ;)
 
Beautiful collection. I am hoping to add my first 212 to mine soon. Did Buck bring back their Custom script tang stamp? I noticed it on two of yours.
 
I moved the keeper down closer to the guard and the sheath is fine now. I know a guy who makes great sheaths too. The 212 deserves nice leather sheath with a super soft lining. Maybe with a little pine tree carved into it.

I like it. I drop it in my back pocket like my wallet. I'm not always in a position to strap a fixed blade to my belt so dropping it in my back pocket or in the door pocket in my truck it works great.

You also did that kick ass "scout carry" sheath (I learned a new term when you posted it:D) for this knife didn't you? Or was that for something else.
 
the factory sheath works but is weird due to the cut through belt setup, how small the knife is and depending on ones shape and size.
