The Buck 112 Ranger Finger Groove

In 1964, the larger buck 110 was introduced. And in 1972. Buck introduced the 112 Ranger. It was created in response to a fight between sailors and soldiers in which a model 110 Folding Hunter was used. There was a decree issued as a result that knives carried could not have a blade length of a specific size. The 110 blade exceeded that length, so Buck Knives created the Ranger, a smaller version of the 110. 

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.
