Anyone know where I can get these?
Yes, I know it's a long shot.

Failing that, similar knives?

First is the Buck Caper and the other was apparently
a special build for SMKW. What I like about the caper is
a large handle and smaller drop point blade.

Are you looking for a collectable 116 or a user? As Generalist stated, eBay would be the best place for a collectable or you might be able to find one here on the BF classifieds. If you are looking for a user, you could pick up a damaged 118 or 105 for $30-45 and regrind the blade to the dimensions of a 116. I have read that the first 116s were 118s that were ground down to the caper design.

Buck has given the name Caping Knife to 7 different models over the years. This picture shows 2 of them.
The Model 294 Caper done for Bass Pro c.1996 and is the rarest as only 101 were made.
Long handle with short drop point blade.

I remember them, they were offered a few years back.
I believe it was called the 110/112 combo, they weren't actually a SMKW exclusive though I don't think.
There was also a full clip point version made around '05 with 1 El Cajon Ca factory blade, and one blade made in the new Post falls Id factory.

Wow. Nice, indeed. Who knows, I'll keep a eye peeled. Maybe someday....

That picture was borrowed from a current eBay listing where the seller wants over $400, I sure hope that it's not any indication of market value or of a typical eBay asking price.

The dual 110/112 pocket knife shown is more in the way of a collectors knife. There are variations. They show up on eBay and will always sell for a collectors price. If you are looking for a 2 blade user the better option would be the model 428 Selector. Although both blades will be 110 sized the first will be a fixed clip point and the second position is removable with about 7 different blade style options. Again, a discontinued model but would come at a better price and can be found on eBay. Wait for one with a bunch of blades already with it. Individually they will add up.

Model 428 was the 2 blade version and 429 single blade. The handle was Valox and came in 3 colors, black, olive drab, or orange.
I'm not sure how the "V52" term fits in.
