Buck 112 Ranger Comparison: Classic vs Auto vs Slim — Which One Should You Buy? Media
Published: 1 day ago
n this video, we compare three versions of the legendary Buck 112 Ranger: the classic standard 112 Ranger, the push-button 112 Auto, and the newer, lighter 112 Ranger Slim / 112 Slim Select.
The standard Buck 112 Ranger keeps the traditional formula with a 420HC clip point blade, brass bolsters, and genuine ebony handle, while the 112 Auto brings automatic deployment with the same classic-style ebony and brass construction. The 112 Slim Select is based on the 112 Ranger but gives it a more modern, lightweight everyday-carry design. Buck lists the Slim Select as Made in the USA.
We’ll look at the real-world differences in:
Carry comfort
Opening action
Weight and pocket feel
Traditional vs modern design
Everyday carry usefulness
Which Buck 112 version makes the most sense for different buyers
Whether you are a Buck collector, looking for a reliable USA-made pocket knife, or deciding between the classic Ranger, the automatic version, and the Slim Select, this comparison should help you choose the right one.
