Great review the 124 is now next on my list. I've owned my 120 for over forty years and just can't destroy this knife , it is a bear to sharpen but a great knife. Liked the added information at the end . God is great and people are crazy. I always choose God .

I have never owned a fixed blade buck knife. I have two lock blade folders from buck... the classic 110 and a 110 light with the green plastic handles... I purchased both when I was in my teens, now in my late 40's and both are holding up almost like new. They have preformed flawlessly and the 110 classic is on my hunting belt to this day, the 110 light is always in my camp box. Fit and finish of both knives is amazing.... Growing up in a family that always carried Scharade or Old Timers, It was a hard choice to go against all my mentors....on these two I am glad I did. I will pass them to my son when I no longer need them....

I just got my 124 in the mail!!! Can’t wait to use it! I’m positive it will not let me down. A great American tool from a Great American company

The 124 has been my fav belt blade for years , I did have a left handed sheath made from saddle leather for it . I always joke that it would be the knife I would take with me if I ever got to hunt Jurassic park .

I have one from 88 and had used it for years as my big game knife. Love it

Best knife I’ve ever owned!!!!

So I got the 124 super happy with it it came perfect condition just a beautiful pce plan on trying it out on a camping trip soon thanks you motivated me

This is my second-favorite overall knife after my 36-year old 110. My 124 is from 1988. Almost flawless, but to my tastes the handle is too chunky and heavy. I've been wanting to grind the handle down, but as it's 32 years old, I am too afraid to ruin it.

The 124 is my favorite fixed-blade knife as well!... It's my go-to! I wish Buck would bring back The Nemo, but with a leather sheath for outdoor use... I like the 7.5" blade on The Nemo.

I got my first buck at 8 years old and I’m 68 now my 110 is 50 years old ,112 is 39 I have many more and have gifted bucks for many years great usa made knives the 124 is I’m sorry to say is one I don’t have and would love to own one thanks Buck knives

Buck Knife's are the best, forget all that Super Steel stuff that wants you to believe that you need this steel or that steel, it is all a marketing game. The 420 hc from Buck is the best all around steel you will ever need. I used a 110 Folding Hunter for over 30 years, and the blade was grinned down to half of what it was due to constant use and sharpening, but it never let me down.

I’ve had 30 Buck knives. 2 more on order which will bring it back to 26 after I sold a few. As a kid all I had was traditional pocket knives, joined the CG in 1990 and got into more tacticool knives, now I’m back to more traditional knives again. The Bucks I have are all the classic series except the GCK and the CSAR-T.

Awesome video from beginning to end! I do not as of yet own a buck 124 Frontiersman but I am looking to buy one in the future. Nothing but good reviews as a workers knife on this particular knife! Thanks again for the great video!

I have the 124 , but prefer the buck 120 or 119 . I got my new buck 124 and removed knife scales and made new ones that fit my hand better . But , don’t use it much . I do a lot of hiking , camping and hunting . The buck 124 is a heavy knife . I am not to worried about full tang or rat tail tang the goes to the pommel of the knife . I have abused my 120 for around 45 years or more and still going strong . The buck 124 would make a good truck knife .

Looks great for sticking a fresh downed buck! Skinner for sure!

I appreciate the larger handle on the 124. I’ve got big ole meat hooks.

I'm 3rd generation rancher in south Texas and I use knifes all the time ( 4 years ago on a wild pig) my a knife freak Lol, in the old days my father and his father used Case knives ( I still have them) but in the last 10 years iv been using bucks ( I have 20 something knifes all over the place) most of the time I have the folding 110s with fingers grooves, good video congrats.

I own a lot of high end knives.......and by fluke I found mine on a lower shelf. It is my favourite blade out of my entire collection.

The 124 is beautiful I like the way it carries real smooth great leather sheath I love it I even prefer it over my tops and Gerber just the overall feel guard is great and just the way it performs

I just got one in the mail. I paid 99.95 for a NOS 2019 124. It's the biggest knife I've ever had. It's heavy in the hand and feels great.

Boy they are awesome I really want one think I'm gonna order it soon I have the 119 105 117 112 and 835 selkirk that's my collection so far lol I'm wrkn on it thanks

That is certainly a beautiful knife. I own the 119 and like it a lot.

I own four Buck folding knives but I have always lusted for one of these. I don't have a use for it but I want it!

When Buck brought back this knife, I had to get it before it disappeared again. I love the full-tang construction and the hollow grind. Yes, the handle is a little big, but I won't be using this knife for super-delicate tasks, anyway. And I certainly won't be batoning with it, as only inbred KZfaqrs abuse knives in that way. The 124 makes an excellent camp knife and just feels good on your hip as you're walking through the woods. A big "Bowie-style" knife with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and the ease of sharpening and toughness as carbon steel simply can't be beat.

I really love the look of the Frontiersman... that said, it's one of those knives that I've yet to find any practical use for. The handle is incredibly blocky, I could see it being fatiguing for extended use. The hollow grind is probably decent for slicing and whittling, though perhaps not robust enough for heavier work. The guard is a bit of an obstacle for many tasks. It's heavier than a lot of other knives that can do many given tasks better... be it my leuku, Mora, North Arm Lynx (in Magnacut!), etc... the Buck will resist corrosion better than all but the Lynx, but won't hold an edge as long as any of them. But... it really is a handsome looking specimen.

Very nice tabletop review sir👍 I also own this very knife but it's an older version with brown wood handle and brown leather sheath. I don't recall when I picked it up but it must have been in the late 80s or early 90s. It's a wonderful knife and what Buck does with the 420 steel is amazing!! I did however have to round off the edges on the handle quite a bit to make it comfortable to use...

Great video. Although I am given to understand that 122 was the divers knife known as the Nemo. Although I could be wrong.

The 124 was just added to the Custom Shop. I just ordered one my way.

Clean it after use, put a little olive oil on the blade for corrosion prevention, and if you use the knife for food processing as well. Buck knives are great products.

I've got a 118 personal, a 120 general and the 124 frontiersmsn. I love buck knives. My dad gave me the 120 and it don't have a symbol on it to date it back to a date. It just has a buck 120 stamp on it.

I have this one and almost the entire line in Cocobolo. Just found the 117 Brahma and a 101 at a store here in Canada last week. I got the 120 last month cause it's discontinued. All I'm missing is the hollow handle knife with the spikes that I used to own but sold to a friend who still has it. Can't remember the model number offhand. Time to make a deal.

That's a great looking knife the blade reminds me of the British Army survival knife it would make a fine companion for my OKC 12in camping machete

Okay, got mine, and its a piece of ART in it's own right. I did try a chopping test, and the blade is way to light. All the weight is in the handle. It does however, split small stuff nicely. But like you I always carry either a hatchet, tomahawk, or an axe, depending on what I'm doing. But yes, its a very very nice knife.

Okay, just got mine today. Its a very sharp knife, and I am looking forward to using it. As far as oiling the knife, that's a no brainier. But, you should also wipe down the leather sheath with mineral oil, to water proof it. Leather will last a very long time if taken care of. The only buck in the 100 Classic series, well two, I am missing the General, and the Skinner. Not sure if I will buy the Skinner though. But the General, yep, by the end of summer. I've been collecting Buck Sheath knives since the early 80's. And they are still great knives.

I've been using the 124 for over 40 years still , using the same knife . The sheath wore out about 7 years ago and bought a replacement from Patriot Leather , excellent sheath , better than what Buck provides.

Shes a beauty. 420 is said to be cheap, but BUCK 420 is different from ANY other 420 steel. I've NEVER had a Buck product rust (with proper care) I'm interested in the new premium steel models...pricey, but I'm sure the quality is best. I trust Buck to do things correct

King Buck for sure! It's my favorite by far and I have alot of Buck knives

What a knife! Already have the 120 but I think this is nicer

If the knives are never used, you'll never know how well they work.

Looks like the perfect knife for camping. Can't go wrong with a Buck!

Excellent review brother! Just picked one up

I still have my 112 (and pouch )I bought way back in 1983. I carry it with me most days. I did damage it in 1993 when I accidently dropped it onto a concrete floor and broke about 1.5mm off the tip. I reshaped it and you would never know I damaged it. It has 112 and U.S.A. stamped on the blade. I wouldn't be surprised if some Buck knife models now have China stamped on their blades, just like most stuff you buy nowadays.

A little bit more history for those who may want it: As I understand it, the 122/124 is a design evolution of Frank Buck, who had a penchant for enormous blades. The first generation featured a steel pommel and crossguard, phenoolic grip with a hidden tang and smaller, more rounded comfy feel more like a 119, a near 7" blade and depending on who built it that day often a wicked hollow grind that terminates to an essentially unbreakably fat and strong tip. The blades used to be superior if more rust prone but still true stainless 440c, and were delivered with a note explaining why that was superior in balanced function to higher chrome content, like they oddly but understandably enough use now because most people neglect their knives more often than they carry or use them. The first gen ones stand out as a testament to the skill and passion of Frank Buck for making a brutally strong choppy slicey stabby knife that performs like a short sword in the size range of a small bowie. It is a true go anywhere, do anything design. The newer design is close, I just wish the current production ones weren't so blocky in the hand, featured a full size blade and had better steel as a standard option.

Gotta love how someone thought to name a really good diver's knife after Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. Fun fact, Nemo translates into "no one".

My favorite knife

Thanks，love it . hope can own one 124 one day.

I bought mine in the mid 80's !

That knife looks a beast. Great video by the way

I'd really like to get one of these to add to my Buck collection.

Wow the Message from Buck Talking about the Lord God well that is So Awesome...Thumbs up...

For a 420HC knife, despite its modern-ish design features, it's rather expensive. Plus, it seems to be currently discontinued, or a special 2021 version is about to come out. Regardless, you can almost get a Swamp Rat or something for this price...

Looks like buck has a pretty good following The 124 been my go to knife for years Skinned out bue coup hogs and a few Gators , have7 or 8 110s and112s and assorted others

This is my favorite fixed blade knife

Really like those sheaths..

I want 1 of these so bad but the money holy moly the money

Awesome video thanks for sharing. What is the best toughest knife that Buck makes?

I love my 124 because it has a rosewood handle. Buck didn’t make many of them

it is my love 119

"That's a knife"-Mick D.

I've got one from the 90's my dad bought me. I replaced the sheath with a custom leather one, it's so much better. I never liked the one it came with.

I wish it came in S35VN.

Great review , made a new subscriber 👍

Cool knife! I am just to cheap to buy one. For the present time.

Great review

Something I found out, not too long ago about oiling a knife. Use Pam Original non stick spray. Why, it kinda dries and leaves a very nice protective coat on the knife.

It is by no means a "Rat Tail" tang. It is an over molded tang, necked down just enough to get the guard on. I have the 118 Personal, the 105 Pathfinder, and the 119 Special, and I've used a magnet on all three. The tang goes all the way into the pommel. Just my two cents worth.

It definitely looks like quality, not sure if id use it much as a daily, cuz of the weight, ive got the 112 for that, wouldn't want a daily to weigh much more:)

Why was it discontinued?

can`t buy one in the netherlands, very very sad

every once in a while, you need to take the tarnish off with some Flix (may not be getting the name right)

What is the price of the Buck knife 124 frontier

It is good that it has bigger handles. Some of them are way too small.

I've used Buck knives from 1970 to date

Nice review ! I also have the 119 the 120 and 124. I like the full tang construction of the Frontiersman. But it is not the best chopper, it is not blade- but handle-heavy. :-( The knife is very heavy. For cutting tasks, I prefer the 119 , it is lighter on your belt, and I find it just a more functional knife. For heavy duty chopping and batoning tasks there are better bowie-style knives on the market.....

What's the thickness like right behind the edge?

I want the 120 or 124 , wondering if it would make a good feild knife to add to my battle belt or plate carrier?

Holy crap hopped on eBay to pick one up ...2-500$😳

I want one in d2 or s45v. buck 102 is a good knife to carry too

God's love is great and holy. John 3:16 tells you all. Now I love Buck even more.

Glad there are Bible verses on their product. 💪💪💪🙏🙏

I am a new subscriber I love buck knives I have the Ranger and the buck sprint those blades come out so sharp from the factory it’s unbelievable what is the knife they used in the movie Scream

Ole Bowie Knife

Oh man. Watch my latest video on this knife. Might change your perspective a little

I have a 1986 model 124 and it has a tan leather sheath not a black one. It looks the same as your 120 sheath only tan leather with white stitching and it is original to the knife. I bought it at K-mart in 1986 along with a 119.

There's a 2021 model coming out with an Ebony handle but for an extra $75 I'm not sure its worth it over the MIcarta.

Not trying to be funny. Do you use that knife? It looks to clean. Are you more of a collector?

is this a good deer skinnier and gutting knife

They DO NOT have skimpy rat tail tangs. They have hidden tangs, which are stronger, like the Kabar.

👎🏻 Nice video showing this beautiful knife. From an appearance perspective I can see why you like it so much. As with other Buck knives it appears to be well made from quality materials. Unfortunately none of this knives capabilities were demonstrated. I wish that some (hopefully 50% or more) of your video had been dedicated to showing this knife in action - a picture is worth a thousand words.

Do u know where I could buy

That thing is huge

That cross guard looks like it might get in the way. Why so large? It's not a fighting knife.

Buck 19 blade steel is 420 hc. its not 440a or 440c steel which is a harder steel. I own a buck 19 and i will keep it cause i lost the receipt.

does the blade rust?

After owning many fixed blade Buck knives, especially in the 80's, I recently decided to buy a 124 and I must say the knife is beautiful, it's manufactured date is September 2022. The sheath on the other hand is a piece of crap, regardless if it's Mexico or USA made as it's made of pleather from China and is rubbish compared to the actual USA made leather sheaths of the 80's. I know a lot of knife manufacturers are doing this to save a few dollars, but come on Buck knives start making real leather sheaths for your beautiful knives and stop false advertising your sheaths are real leather, you're a company that has belief in God and isn't it a sin or something to lie to others. I'm a leather crafter with over 45 years of experience so don't sit there and lie to me that your sheaths are top grain leather, it couldn't be more far from the truth. I personally would pay more for your knives if you made your sheaths of real leather. What do you think Buck knives, time to bring back quality or what?

That finger guard is too big. Otherwise a nice knife indeed.

What buck knife has the longest blade

I only watched this video because it kinda looks like the knife mikasa stabbed that guy in the cabin with.

This knife and the 120 are about useless . The Buck 105 and the 102 are field knives , very useful as is the 110 . The 120 and 124 are pig stickers , and now a days people use guns instead of knives. Seriously if gutting , cleaning ,fishing ,etc. etc. 110 or 120 ?? Cleaning a turkey 124 or 102 ?? Now if we had elephants I'd have to have the 124 or 120. If I needed a bear knife or such I'd buy the Cold Steel 1917 Frontier , now that's a bear knife if there ever was one. Cheaper too. And a heck of a lot more knife for the money. Peace.

🙏🔪👍
