Thanks for the review. I’ve been thinking about getting a 112 sport ranger for some time and I found one for nearly 40% off recently and your review sealed the deal for me!
It’s an amazing knife. Check out some of my other reviews. It’s a growing channel. If your could show your support by subscribing. It would be much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Awesome vid. I have it it is everything you said it is. BUCK knocked out of the park on this one. Loved the old style… but the new style is a great EDC
Great review! I’m from Massachusetts as well. I’ve been on the fence about this knife, but you’ve helped a lot! What area in MA are you from? Worcester area here.
Freehand sharpening is art. If you know, you know. Finger sweat distressed micarta - is this the new 'forced-patina / shipwrecking' ? I hope so, because unlike said examples, actual use is the only way to give it that look. Shipwrecking looks neat, but it's the fashion torn jeans of the knife world in my opinion. Good stuff, I enjoy your content!
Thank you JJ Jinks! I really like micarta as handle material! . It’s definitely a great material, and as you said the patina it develops is only through use. I really like the buck 500.. the duke! Buck doesn’t make it anymore . But it’s a beautiful knife, I plan on doing a video on it shortly. The duke has micarta inlays with nickel silver bolsters and a drop point blade. They also had a version with wood handles. Just a beautiful knife. I will do a review on that one as well! Thank you for your support towards my channel!
I like the concise review! Just sent off a trade for one of these and I'm super excited to get it. I want something to always carry around so my son gets used to seeing it and then I'll be able to hand it down to him when he's old enough. Buck seems like the best brand to do that with and I'm really hoping this knife fits the bill. My only concern is that I usually wear khakis/chino style pants and work in an office setting so pocket space is limited and the handle looks a little thick. Maybe this will just have to be a weekend jeans carry or something like that because I just love how it looks!
@@bostonbladereviews919 I love it! the handle is kinda thick, but the closed knife isn't "tall" so it really doesn't take up much room in my pocket. Carries like its a much smaller knife than it really is. Plus it's classic looking and a beast of a knife as far as blade stock and build quality. Great knife. The only thing I'm not 100% thrilled about is the big clip shape. I like the blade shape better on the Pro TRX models. I'm wondering if that would be an easy swap?
What is missing from this new Ranger as well as the 110 version are FINGER GROOVES. Nice deep finger grooves that come out of the Custom Shop not the barely there regular production finger grooves.
I agree with you! Finger grooves would be Phenomenal on this knife! Thanks for watching.. Much more videos coming. just getting This channel started… Please subscribe, as more content is on the way!
No hate to you friend but I’d say the majority of ppl would prefer a neutral handle over finger groves. Nothing worse than a perfect knife that has finger grooves thst don’t fit your hand right. Has ruined a couple really nice knives for me
If I had known 10-20 years ago what I know now, , I might have bought the 112 instead of the 110. I'm carrying the 112 Slim. If the more traditional 112's are just as comfortable in my hand, I gotta have one.
Either way you can’t really go wrong with a Buck knife - quality and the legacy of Buck is outstanding! Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos! Help grow the channel! Thanks for watching! And much more videos coming soon! Go check out my Buck collection video!
Hey man, you might have something going there 😆 I would purchase that in a minute! Hey brother, I don’t know if you’ve been following me.. I’m gonna be doing a giveaway within the next week as soon as I hit 1K subs! We are very close.. instructions will be in the next video! Take care
I’m a freehand sharpener also, my advice to the guy that complains about the thumb stud, learn to freehand sharpen, any true knife connoisseur should know how to freehand sharpen, he must be a millennial 😂
