March 2025 Buck of the Month - 112 S35VN Cerakote Drop Point Toxic Moss Camo Carbon Inlays

[pjsjr]

it's funny..
no one loved the red coated 104 compadre.......new model looks better and is available and yet those ugly red blade 104s now are super valuable. point being sometimes colors brings the big bucks....

No accounting for taste...

weirdly I like it more in your pics than I did the factory marketing pics.

Jesse I was impressed with the entire package/knife when I took it out of the bag. I think Buck has upped their game in the Cerakote dept. It is a nice flat even 'thin' coating of Cerakote. The thumbstud is like a gem.

I don't know how it will wear compared to the others I have. Probably won't get any use from me in this life time. As it is originally, the knife is weirdly ugly and yet handsome and good looking.

I'm going to explore options for the replacement blade. As it is, stainless steel, I'd like it if it were not in such stark contrast to the knife.

It looks much better than I expected. I think I'd go with Exhibit A.

Here's another photo, different lighting...

I would have liked to have bought one of these. I just discovered that my email provider has been zorching email from Buck for the last few weeks.

That camo carbon fiber really changes in different light! I think I'll still take Exhibit-A.

On a separate note; I've been hoping Buck would start offering carbon fiber scales in the Custom Shop, and for their Slim & Sport lines for some time now. Maybe this is a start in that direction.

Buck ain’t known for their photography skills, they make knives!

Yeah, pjsjr pics portray the knife better. They show what it actually looks like. The pic on page one of this thread was not one of Buck's better marketing pics.

I'm liking this knife!

Got mine today. Very pleased with it!

It comes apart. So soak the blade in acetone and the ceracote should come off.

They really do look much better than I thought they would. I'm kind of sorry that I didn't get one, but at the time, it was either the 111 or this one.

I had been planning on purchasing a standard 112 Sport very soon, so when these came up I couldn't resist. Clip point would be my preference on these but I still love it.

I kept looking at the 112 Sports, but would much prefer the S35VN to the S30V. Too late now anyhow. I'm kind of hoping that they show up in the Custom Shop, with more blade/handle options.
