Buck 112 Ranger Stealth Run in Magnacut

This is a first look at the Buck 112 Ranger Stealth Run from January 2024!

[@deanP.]

I was able to get one also. I probably wont use mine much so i will be curious to see how yours holds up to your testing. I'm sure it will be great. Thanks for the video.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I am glad you were able to snag one! They are very nice knives. I am testing a few other knives right now, so it will be a month or two before I will get to testing the 112.

[@Wcquick]

cool enough, liked and subscribed

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks for the sub! I still have to do a full review and test on the knife.

[@BaxtersBlades]

Fantastic video Ken! Also great buck collection love that duke. I really need to pick one up! I realize ypu have a problem with miss match covers. I will be glad to take that off your hands lol 😂😂😂😭! I should have bought 2 cause now i see them over $330 on ebay! But i didnt even get 1. I also prefer the 110. I should have gotten 2 of those also! Thanks for sharing. Looks great with the pins!.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Well......since you should have bought 2 you can take this one off of my hands for the price of 2 😂🤣😂

Oh man, that is such a nice Buck 112 and in MagnaCut too; super awesome! 🤩Thanks for sharing, take care my friend and Cheers!

[@LastChanceKnives]

I hope the Bucks Magnacut performs as good as the knife looks. I have two Chris Reeve knives in Magnacut to compare it to. They are heat treated nice and hard!

[@byronkennedy7912]

What a super knife ! I really wanted both the 110 and 112 stealths in Magnacut, saw them, but just couldn't do it. I did get the 119 in Magnacut for my son's Christmas gift ... and certainly will do a video on it when I start content soon. Enjoy these !

[@LastChanceKnives]

I could only swing one of them so I went with the 112 since I didn't have one. It's a great knife, but overall 110's are a little more my size! That 119 should be excellent! Can't wait to see it. I really like your new stickers. They will be making it in a video pretty soon. It's still crazy busy here, that's the life of an IT guy. At least it means job security.

[@knifedelights7473]

That is awesome and I'm glad you were able to get one. I know that The Kirby Creek Outfit swears by the magnacut in his 110. Thanks for sharing!

[@LastChanceKnives]

I have two Chris Reeve knives in Magnacut to compare it to. They perform really good!

[@davidkurle5418]

Very nice knife!! Glad you got your hands on that one, buddy!

[@LastChanceKnives]

So am I! I am very curious to see how Buck's Magnacut performs.

[@patrickmunneke8348]

Man that is a beauty.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I am very happy with the knife!

[@factorsofjack]

Nice Buck and the sheath is cool.

[@LastChanceKnives]

These stealth runs seem to be a step above what Buck normally produces.

[@factorsofjack]

@LastChanceKnives Like you said they might be done by the Custom Shop.

[@EdwinDekker71]

Looks like a great knife. I actually like that the scales are a bit different, gives it character. Very nice.

[@LastChanceKnives]

The difference between the scales is fine, and as you said gives it a bit of character.

[@RandysWSG]

That's a killer knife! I kinda like that the scales are mismatched. Really great knife!

[@LastChanceKnives]

The more I look at it the more I like the different scales. We will see how it does in testing. I don't know what hardness Buck is running their Magnacut at.

[@Terrysknivesandmanstuff]

I am a huge fan of the 112 ,just not sure about the mismatched handles? Thanks for sharing 👍

[@LastChanceKnives]

I was thinking about trying a little walnut stain on one of the edges of the light scale and see if it takes. There is a good chance that it will not depending on what type of coating Buck puts on the wood. It doesn't hurt to try!

[@Terrysknivesandmanstuff]

Yeah, you will probably have to sand it first? But then you might have to do both sides? Good luck 👍 Still a very good looking knife 🔪

[@tedkenne]

I'm 57 Years Old (With A Large Folding Knife Collection). When BUCK & CASE Knives Started Lazer Etching Their Tang Stamps, That's When I Decided To End My Collecting Of Them. I'm Not Saying The Quality Has Dropped Or Anything. I Do Believe Overtime (Maybe Years With Use). The Tang Stamp Will Be Very Hard To Read. Great Video Either Way!!!

[@LastChanceKnives]

I am only a year behind you, just turned 56. I do not like the etching either. It bothers me. I had the same thought about it wearing off over time. Lately I have been looking for old knives to restore and I think that is where I am going to be for a while. Its a lot of fun. I'll have one coming up for the next couple of Saturday Stockman Stampedes.

[@jeffjackson5331]

Sweet looking knife.

[@LastChanceKnives]

Thanks! Now to see how it performs.

[@jeffjackson5331]

@@LastChanceKnives you're welcome. Yep!

[@michaeldavis4969]

Pretty knife. I'm a bit bothered by the way the sharp edge of the tang sits so proud above the rear bolster in the closed position.

[@LastChanceKnives]

@@michaeldavis4969 I hear you, it's not a perfect knife. The Buck 110 and 112 are old designs. Modern knives have improved by leaps and bounds, but these old classics have a special charm. I love carrying old knives especially slipjoints. Not everyone does!

[@michaeldavis4969]

@@LastChanceKnives Agree. I love the style. That exposed sharp edge is the only thing that bothers me. I wonder if it could be radiused to at least make it less sharp. I totally understand that a certain amount of surface area is needed for the blade to make a strong and play-less connection to the locking mechanism, but does that require an exposed, sharp point?

[@LastChanceKnives]

@@michaeldavis4969 I haven't gotten aroung to carrying and testing the 112 yet. When I do I'll look at what can be done with that sharp corner. I hit the same sharp corners on my Rosecraft Briarpatch with a diamond stone and it made a big difference without changing the looks of function of the knife. It doesn't take much, just a few swipes did the trick.

[@martinparmer]

Hey Ken, How does this knife close? does it have any "snap"? I ordered a 112 custom (which is absolutely beautiful, btw) but when I close the knife, it basically has no spring pulling the knife closed once it's a little past half way. I'm kind of disappointed in this and was wondering if it's common on buck 112's. Also, when closed, the knife is no where near center. I paid a lot of money for this knife and would probably not do it again. Thanks for your input as always.

[@LastChanceKnives]

I only have had 2 Bucks from the custom shop in my hands. They have more snap than the normal Bucks, but not a lot. It is enough to carry safely in a pocket but not much more than that. Defiantly not comparable to a good slip joint. I will not be getting any other Bucks from the custom shop or probably any regular ones either because overall they should have a little better F&F. The Bucks that I like and are the best value are the Slim Select, especially if you catch them on sale.

[@thebodybeatdownDiTi]

That is strange to have the handles that different. Are they all like that by design? Or a fluke? Still decent strong looking. 💪

[@LastChanceKnives]

I don't think they match the wood, it's luck of the draw on these.
