Buck 112 Slim Select

I wore a Buck 112 Ranger in sheath for 8 years in the Army. It was used for many tasks in the field and in garrison. The Buck 112 Ranger Slim Select is a good tool for my knife rotation of EDC gear. I do recognize that it probably is as sturdy as the regular 112 but it does meet the criteria for my daily cutting tasks. The knife has a 3" plain, locking, very sharp blade, light weight handle, back lock. I've read other reviews where there have been issues, but I got a high quality knife. All in all, I enjoy using this knife and recommend it to others. .

Great Knife!

I have owned 112s for over 40 years now and still have a couple from the 80s (Bucklite). This knife's quality is typical BUCK excellence! You can never go wrong with a BUCK. It is my everyday knife.

Wonderful EDC

I work in a low-voltage cable warehouse. I cut box tape, every day. I cut cardboard, rarely. Sometimes, I cut cat6 cable. This knife stays with me, all day, every day. Love it. Perfect handle size and shape. The blade is well centered and the bevels are dead-on. Orange handle is easy to spot. It's not flickable, in the slightest, but it's extremely secure when locked open and never opens by accident. Personally, I really like the broad pocket clip. At $30, I don't worry about losing or abusing it. I bought two, just in case , but I haven't lost a knife since I was a kid. I will, however, occasionally give my pocket knife to a favorite newb Tech that I deem worthy. At this price, it's easy to make it a spontaneous gift, if I'm inclined.

Fine

Came with the thumb studs spinning loosely in the opening. This is the second Buck out of the most recent 2 that had a defect out of the box. I'm not going to return this one since it's $24 and an easy fix (bang it tight), but the other was a Compadre where the blade spine was absurdly crooked. Other than the quality control issue, not a bad cheap American made knife. Stiff on the opening but a little wrist can flick it. Comfy handle for large hands, exactly the same dimensions as my old ranger but the blade is slightly less clipped. Lightweight, good to clip on my surf fishing bag for bleeding fish/emergencies, but not EDC quality, not that i had those expectations.
