I haven't been able to figure out what wood is on this 1992 112. Also have a 1992 110 that has similar wood.

Appreciate any info.

Looks like a piece of solid obeechee before they started using it as a laminate.
 
That is macasssar ebony, the standard inlay used on 110s and 112s until the obechee laminate was introduced by Buck Knives. Ebony can vary from almost black to a light tan and I think the prettiest pieces have a combination of both the dark and golden hues like this one.
 
Thanks Gentlemen!

The variance in coloration is much nicer than my pics.

The 110 doesn't have near as much varation.

Now I am off to digging through the box of misc oldies looking for color variations.
 
I have one from 1992 with similar wood scales. It really doesn't look the same as the older scales which has me guessing.
