After a couple of folder selections for Buck of the Month, the company has returned to the fixed blade genre for the August BotM knife. The 113 Ranger Skinner gets dressed up with improved steel and a handsome handle material swap.
The core of Buck’s fixed blade lineup targets the needs of outdoorsmen, so of course there would be a skinner-style model in the mix. The 113 Skinner is just that, with a compact, maneuverable drop point blade paired to an arcing, comfortable handle. It’s a sensible, clean design that’s work ready and intuitive. Funnily enough, the 113 Skinner first entered Buck’s lineup as a limited edition model, but was popular enough to get inducted into standard production.
I am a bigger fan of Buck’s new/refreshed Alpha Series hunters. But I like the folding 112, so I should give this one a try.
