Supreme x Buck 112 Ranger Folding Knife
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
The Buck 112 Ranger is a compact lockback folding knife with a 3-inch 420HC stainless steel clip-point blade, brass bolsters, and genuine ebony wood scales, measuring 4.25 inches closed and 7.25 inches open at about 5.6 ounces. Buck introduced the 112 in 1972 as a more pocketable version of the Buck 110 Folding Hunter; a shorter blade and reshaped front bolster made it easier to carry after US Navy restrictions limited sailors from carrying the full-size 110. Buck Knives has manufactured in the United States since 1902, relocating from California to Post Falls, Idaho in 2005. The FW09 Supreme collab offered the 112 Ranger in red and black colorways with co-branded handle engraving.
About Buck
Buck Knives is an American knife manufacturer founded in 1902 by Kansas blacksmith apprentice Hoyt Buck, with the commercial business established by his son Al Buck in San Diego, California in 1947. The company is now headquartered in Post Falls, Idaho. Its Model 110 Folding Hunter, introduced in 1964, popularized the lockback folding knife and became one of the best-selling folding knives in history. Buck produces fixed-blade and folding knives using 420HC and S30V steels, heat-treated in-house using a process developed by metallurgist Paul Bos. Supreme has collaborated with Buck on co-branded versions of its classic pocket knives.
