Buck 112 Slim Ranger Heritage Elite Lockback - 3.0" Paul Bos Heat-Treated CPM-MagnaCut Steel Blade - Crelicam Genuine Ebony Wood Handle with Polished Brass Bolsters (0112BRS19-B / 14260)
Product Description
When navigating high-volume cutting tasks, deep woodland utility shores, or streamlined everyday carry operations, standard heavy-frame pocket knives present a physical liability. Traditional lockbacks weigh down trousers, create thick and uncomfortable bulges inside casual tailoring, and slow down draw times due to mandatory belt pouch carry systems. Conversely, many modern lightweight folders rely entirely on sterile synthetic materials that sacrifice the nostalgic warmth, heritage craftsmanship, and structural prestige expected of a premium field folder. The Buck 112 Slim Ranger Heritage Elite masterfully eradicates this compromise. By dramatically paring down the traditional framework by a full 0.25 inches in thickness, Buck infuses their timeless American locking masterpiece with elite cutting geometry and an ultra-lean pocket profile engineered for the 21st-century collector.
Proudly manufactured in Post Falls, Idaho, the premium foundation of the 14260 Slim Heritage Elite centers on a 3.0-inch clip point blade forged from state-of-the-art CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel. Optimized under the industry-renowned, multi-stage Paul Bos cryogenic heat-treating protocol, this powder-metallurgy super steel achieves a highly synchronized matrix of extreme wear resistance, phenomenal structural impact toughness, and near-absolute atmospheric corrosion immunity. The satin-finished blade is executed with a high-utility swedge and an iconic deep hollow grind that maximizes deep slicing continuity through stubborn materials. This magnificent piece of American steel transitions into an ultra-slim handle utilizing responsibly sourced Crelicam® genuine ebony hardwood handle scales highlighted by highly polished solid brass bolsters.
Functionally, the 112 Slim Heritage Elite acts as an instantaneous, zero-fail extension of your hand. It features a traditional, deep nail notch cutout along the blade spine to facilitate steady, smooth manual opening with classic lockback tactile clicks. Once fully thrown open, a robust and field-tested back lock mechanism securely locks the blade tang directly against the internal steel framework, providing a bank-vault-grade lockup completely free of vertical play or lateral wiggle under downward leverage. Moving past the historic belt pouch requirement, this modernized Heritage variant is equipped with a reversible, black-coated stainless steel deep-carry pocket clip. This ensures the refined, low-profile frame sits safely flat against your uniform pocket for quick single-handed access whenever action is demanded.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Field Maintenance Guidance:
The Buck 112 Slim Heritage Elite blends elite metallurgical engineering with classic wood and brass handle assemblies, demanding specific, deliberate preventative maintenance. While the premium CPM-MagnaCut steel blade yields world-class defense against rust, the highly polished solid brass bolsters are prone to natural, atmospheric tarnish and pocket scuffs over long carry cycles; a light touch of specialized metal polish will rapidly restore their mirrors-like factory finish. To preserve the deep luster and structural grain integrity of the Crelicam® ebony wood scales, avoid submerging the handle frame in harsh industrial detergents or solvent baths. Periodically apply a drop of premium mineral oil or conditioning wax to the pivot assembly and wood grain to sustain smooth manual deployment and a crack-free handle structure.
