CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESFor over half a century, the Buck 112 Ranger has been a symbol of American craftsmanship, trusted by outdoorsmen, hunters, and knife enthusiasts who demanded a compact yet powerful folding knife. Born in 1972 as a smaller version of the iconic Buck 110 Folding Hunter, the 112 quickly earned its reputation for rugged dependability and timeless style. Now, that tradition meets innovation with the Buck 112 Automatic Knife—a modern reimagining of a classic design, built for today’s demands without sacrificing the heritage that made it legendary.
The Buck 112 Auto carries forward everything people love about the original Ranger and elevates it with the speed and convenience of a push-button automatic opener. With a simple press, the 3-inch clip-point blade deploys smoothly and securely, locking into place with Buck’s proven lockback system. This blend of swift deployment and rock-solid strength makes the knife just as reliable in the field as it is around camp or at home.
Crafted from Buck’s signature 420HC stainless steel, the blade offers an ideal balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability. Finished in a clean satin polish, it reflects the understated elegance that has long defined Buck’s work. The handle is a testament to traditional craftsmanship, featuring genuine Macassar Ebony wood scales that showcase a dark, natural grain framed by polished brass bolsters. This combination of wood and metal not only delivers exceptional durability but also provides a classic look and feel that never goes out of style.
The 112 Auto is proudly made in the USA at Buck’s Post Falls, Idaho, facility and backed by Buck’s Famous Forever Warranty, ensuring that this knife isn’t just a tool but an heirloom-quality piece built to last for generations. To complete the package, it comes with a genuine black leather sheath, designed for secure and comfortable carry whether you’re in the field, on the job, or adding it to your collection.
Whether you’re a dedicated Buck collector, an outdoorsman in need of a reliable everyday carry, or simply someone who appreciates American-made quality, the Buck 112 Auto delivers the perfect balance of tradition and innovation. It’s a piece of living history, built for today’s challenges, and it belongs in your hand.
