Pappy,
The 112 and 110 are both classics. I really like the older ones. When I was younger, everyone had one.
Have you ever heard the story about why Buck started making the 112? It goes something like this.
The 110 could be found on a lot of sailor's belts in the Navy. One day, a couple of soldiers got into a fight and the 110 Folding Hunter was used. As a result, the captain issued a decree that knives carried could not have a blade length of a certain size. The 110 ended up being too long, so Buck Knives took the initiative and created the 112, a smaller version of the 110.
Not sure if the story is true or maybe it is just a story?
Take care,
Brian
