Considering a Serrated 110, with the only way being to order a Custom Knife, did Buck ever offer a serrated blade for the 110 without going custom? Did Buck ever produce a serrated 112 folder?

Hi Austin, your user name registered with me after I clicked reply. :rolleyes: Apologies! Nice to see you here in the Buck forum.
 
This is an old post I did on Buck 110 serrations.
Well after downloading all the Buck catalogs from the BCCI website I have came up with some information on serrated Buck Knives. The first serrated Buck Knives came out in the 1990 catalog. It looks like some time in the late 90's they started to change the pattern of the serrations. In most of the catalog's the pictures are not real clear so it is difficult to tell what type of serrations they used. Some of the catalog's appear to use both types of serrations depending on the knife. I am unclear if Buck factory has two types or methods of serration machining. I compared some of the different Buck model's I have and the older knives have the rounded serrations and the newer have the sharper serrations. My collection does not include enough knives to determine if Buck had changed serrations on a certain year or model. The first Buck Selectors blades seem to have a totally different serration than other Buck Knives. It looks like by the time Buck moved to Idaho in 2005 all the serrated knives are the sharp type serrations. When I find more information I will try to post it.

Bucktool… definitely helps to see the differences in serrations produced over time.. thank you… the search continues!
 
I have 2 112's with serrations and both were ordered around 2009 when the Custom shop was briefly opened. I have never seen another factory made at Buck 112 with them. I have pictures but just cant find them tonight.

I think these are my only serrated Buck knives but for comparison sake, a 1998 175 Buck Lightning series HTA II and a 2013 722 Spitfire. I carried the 175 for years and it cut darn near everything and it was very useful everywhere I went. I still want a 110. The question for me is which steel as both 420HC or S30V are available in the custom shop. If there was a regular model offered or I found one used I would get that.

I didnt have my glasses on when I saw this and I read it as "I carried it for 175 years and it cut darn everything..." I know Buck makes a real man out of any man that carries them, but DAYUM, 175 years old is an manly as one can get! Needless to say once the glasses were on I read what you actually wrote. Time for coffee too apparently. ;)
 
I'm not a big fan of serrations myself, however, I'll admit that they did look sort of nice on that 105(?) in the 1989 picture. I might be tempted to own one of those if I found one. I'm pretty sure that's not regularly available though...
 
I don't like serrations as I have a horrible time sharpening them. I can sharpen the standard blade fine though. Have the tools to do some of the patterns on some knives, but then a different pattern comes out and I'm back to ground zero.

This^^^^
Early on in my big game hunting, in addition to my 118, I had a fully serrated Cutco hunter. Just could not warm up to it or any knife with serrations. I have a couple but don't know where they are.
