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 !
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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!.
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.
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.
@@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!
@@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?
@@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.
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!
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.
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.

Very nice knife!! Glad you got your hands on that one, buddy!
So am I! I am very curious to see how Buck's Magnacut performs.
That's a killer knife! I kinda like that the scales are mismatched. Really great knife!

Looks like a great knife. I actually like that the scales are a bit different, gives it character. Very nice.
The difference between the scales is fine, and as you said gives it a bit of character.
cool enough, liked and subscribed
Thanks for the sub! I still have to do a full review and test on the knife.
Man that is a beauty.
I am very happy with the knife!

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

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!

Nice Buck and the sheath is cool.
These stealth runs seem to be a step above what Buck normally produces.
@LastChanceKnives Like you said they might be done by the Custom Shop.

Well......since you should have bought 2 you can take this one off of my hands for the price of 2 😂🤣😂
@@LastChanceKnives 😂😂😂👊💥
Sweet looking knife.
Thanks! Now to see how it performs.
@@LastChanceKnives you're welcome. Yep!

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.

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

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 🔪
That is strange to have the handles that different. Are they all like that by design? Or a fluke? Still decent strong looking. 💪
I don't think they match the wood, it's luck of the draw on these.
