The Buck 110 Folding Hunter is the most famous lockback ever made: a 3.75-inch clip-point blade, brass bolsters, and 4.875 inches closed at around 7 ounces. The 112 Ranger is its smaller sibling with a 3-inch blade. Buck's leather sheath is the classic, and it is also the part that wears out, holds water, and hides the knife in a flap.
A molded kydex sheath holds the closed 110 by its bolsters and frame with an audible click, does not absorb water or stretch, and lets you draw with one hand without unsnapping anything. For a knife that gets carried hunting, fishing, and on a job site, kydex outlasts leather by years and is guaranteed for life.

The sheath, reviewed
1. Kydex Sheath for the Buck 110 / 112 Folding Knife
Molded in kydex to the tool it is named for, handmade in the U.S.A. by military veterans, with adjustable retention and an audible click when the tool seats. Available in black, black carbon fiber, and coyote brown carbon fiber. Guaranteed for life.
How to carry it
On a belt
The sheath ships with the standard Clip & Carry belt clip, which is universal across all our multitool sheaths and carries the tool vertically on a normal belt.
On a duty or work belt
Swap the clip for the Tek-Lok belt clip, which fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide and attaches with the sheath's existing holes.
On a pack, vest or bag
The MOLLE clip replaces the belt clip using the same screws and mounts the sheath to MOLLE webbing on a bag or plate carrier.
Why kydex
Kydex is a thermoformed plastic that is molded directly on the tool, so the sheath holds it by shape rather than by squeezing it. It does not absorb water, oil, or sweat, does not stretch, does not fray at the belt loop, and lets the tool draw with one hand. A retention screw sets how firmly it holds. It is why every sheath here is guaranteed for life.

The bottom line
If you carry the tool daily, the Kydex Sheath for the Buck 110 / 112 Folding Knife is the upgrade that keeps it on your belt, clicks it in, and outlasts the pouch it came with. Add the Tek-Lok for a duty belt or the MOLLE clip for a pack.
