Customers asked for it and Buck as delivered. Upon the launch of the highly popular 110 Folding Hunter AUTO, Buck received many inquiries as to when they were going to launch to 112 Ranger AUTO. Now it's here, a more compact version of the 110 AUTO with all the same classic features of the original 112 Ranger. Many have converted the 112's into AUTO's but the official 112 Ranger AUTO from the Buck Knives factory boasts the famous Forever Warranty further increasing the value of this knife.
As originally introduced in the 1960s the 112 once again features a genuine ebony hardwood handle. This ethically sourced Crelicam ebony supports replanting efforts in the Congo Basin rainforest, while providing Buck Knives with a genuine hardwood handle that is nearly indestructible.
*Please note: When Buck makes handles out of natural products, you will find nature's own "brandmarks." In most cases, these markings are not flaws, rather nature's own design. Colors and markings will vary from handle to handle. Each one will have its own personality and distinctive look unlike handles created from man-made materials.*

Had to add to Buck collection
I’m a Buck guy. Sure, I own all kinds of knives, but I have the whole line of Bucks from my great-grandad all the way down. Extensive hunters, lots of fixed stuff.
But this one—being the perfect pocket size (yes, a tad smaller than the one you remember) and well made—is definitely a daily pocket knife. I tuned mine up a bit and it’s awesome.
Just another knife collector here who can’t understand Spyderco… what’s up with them? I’ve only liked one of their knives, and that was a freebie from this site—a 1 1/2 auto, great for woodworking.
Buck 112 AUTO Ranger Folding Knife 3" Plain Blade, Ebony Wood Handles with Brass Bolsters, Leather Sheath
I recently picked one of these up, and was very impressed with the fit and finish on it. It is a bit above the standard bucks I own. Very nice presentation in the packaging as well. So far it has not given me any issues insofar as performance. I was initially a little wary of its size, as I have always been a 110 man, but it is every bit the knife the 110 ten is, just a bit shorter. Definitely has a solid presence in the hand. Time will tell on the action.

Awful switch
Knife doesn’t deploy as it should nor does it have enough strength to lock itself while doing so. Returning it sadly as I was excited to get this one.
