Just might be the best looking 112 I've ever seen!

My pixs don't do it justice but this may just be the best looking Buck 112 I have ever seen!

Buck 112 with auto conversion; fossil walrus ivory scales; mother of pearl button; engraved bolsters and plenty of filework!

 

[MikeSEA]

All I can say is WOW! Very nice!

Are those pins or screws attaching the scales? And oh yeah, where can I get one?

 

[Gary007]

very nice! Love the 112's! :thumbup:

Nice looking 112 Scott, and by the way - excellent pictures. Did you buy as is, or have it done?

 

[Maverick4546]

[jackreacher]

History of this knife as I know it...

Funny thing is... I wasn't even aware of this knife until a knife collecting buddy who knew of my interest in Buck knives told me about the post on another forum.

It's a 1998 Buck 112. Since Cumberland Mountain Knife & Tool is on the blade, I assume they did the auto conversion. In 1999 the collector bought the knife from Adams who I'm assuming did the fossil walrus scales, mother of pearl button and the filework. The bolster engravings were done by Fred A. Harrington sometime after the collector purchased the knife from Adams. The collector had passed away and his sister-in-law had inquired about its value as part of his estate. After I gave an estimate, I let her know I would be interested in purchasing it. I was told there was another gentleman interested in the knife and she'd let me know if it was still available. About a week later she hadn't heard from the other gentleman so it was mine if I was still interested (at less than my estimate). After I told her to give him another week to correspond, I was sitting on 'pins & needles' waiting to see if the knife was still available.
The rest is 'new' history. I stuck with my estimate price and added a bit more since I was feeling 'low' with the passing of my dog Clyde and it seems one of her dogs is having trouble with cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.

...Can't believe you lost Clyde Gary... ...Where the heck have I been??...Nice 112 by the way...

That is an awesome knife!

Of course, saying "the best looking 112 I've ever seen" is kind of like saying "the best looking Playboy Playmate I've ever seen."

...My deepest condolences Gary...Smoke and the glue to keep the memories of Clyde in full view are sent...By the time you're ready to lose those memories you'll rejoin all those you thought you'd lost...

 

[Mike Kerins]

Gary,
I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. Any dog that I've owned has been like a member of the family. Embrace the memories.
Mike

Thanks guys... I'm pretty much recovered from Clyde's passing now and even have my eye on another mutt who needs some understanding and a 2nd chance.
This Buck 112 just seems to get better & better the more I fondle it! Hmmmnnn... 'Buck' sounds like a good name for a new 4-legged buddy! :thumbup:
