I carried one for about 8-9 months in Nam. I had asked her to send me a Bowie knife and not knowing in 1967 what one was, they sold her the Buck Special. It did not have the heft I wanted for chopping . It stayed sharp enough and by getting far back on the handle with a couple fingers and thumb, I was able to chop down , up rights for my mosquito net and chop open coconuts. Sadly lost it on way back to base camp, as I had it in my cargo pants and it must jiggled out in the jeep , to the air strip in forward base camp. I had my name engraved on it, when I got out of the hospital in Quin Nhon . Old combat Vet.

"May not be the best for cleaning game" That's precisely what this knife is designed for. It's why everything is smooth and non-porous. It's intended to clean/skin kills. For the price and availability, the Buck 119 is hard to beat. But the knife is especially nostalgic for me, simply for the fact it was the first fixed blade I wanted as a child. There's just something about that beautiful onyx and silver design. So elegant and minimal. I've always appreciated something well engineered. For me, that's the buck 119.

Can confirm the handle is very resistant to heat. Our house burnt down a couple years ago and I believe it’s either this knife or the 110 was in the house during the fire. It was in its sheath and during the fire it burnt the sheath off of the knife but didn’t do a single thing to the actual knife, it’s still as sharp today as it was before the fire and the handle took zero damage. The knife looks like it never went through a fire.

Classic. My very first fixed blade sheath knife was Buck 119. Long before anyone starting pounding knives through logs, the Buck knife was synonymous with outdoors, hunting, adventure and survival. My knife is 40 years old, not rust, no tarnish, looks great and performs like a knife should. BTW: always thought it was kind of foolish to chop logs with a knife. Hatchet, ax or machete are much better.

I met the Owners of buck knives at Smoky Mountain Knife Works a couple years ago. And talk to them and tell them I own quite a few of their knives especially the 119.I got it, About 27 years ago same age as my daughter. I've carried that knife everywhere especially when I go in the backcountry sometimes in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is a great iconic design and what does it resemble. A Bowie knife, a small Bowie knife. But for a long time Bowie knives were what a lot outdoors men carried in this country, that in a butcher knife. All the way from his concept Jim Bowie first knife. Mountain Man Texas frontiersmen Riverboat gamblers. And the list goes on. Has also become one of the most iconic hunting knife. I also have a general 120 with Coca- Bola wood. I tell you it's a beautiful knife. So nice looking at you just don't want to mess it up. But it's a work knife. Your idea of Revisited videos and Revisited products is a great idea. It means you had them long-term and use them and you know more about him than you did on the first video great concept.

I have met individuals who customize this particular knife for fighting and self defense. primarily sharpen the false edge on the clip point, and using sandpaper to rough the plastic handle up to make a better grip.

You are right about the upswept point and using it for cleaning game. It is very easy to inadvertently nick a gut during the process. I took it and lowered the point to just a degree or so down, creating a very slight dropped point. Much more useable for gutting and it didn't hurt the ''camp knife'' scenario. I forgot to mention that I did this over 35 years ago, it's still going strong & sharp.

It is one of the first 100 knives Case made and worth to much to use. I was going to buy a Puma hunter but didn’t want to spend the money. Didn’t have much then. My new wife came home with the buck. I used it on a lot of deer and a couple elk. I used it to break back hips by pounding it on the hip bone to break them. The knife has always worked great. Easy to sharpen and holds and edge. I have used it for camping and other activities. I love the blade guard and never felt the need to buy a knife to replace it. Quality knife.

Had a 105 Pathfinder since 1988, and picked up my 119 in 93. Never go hunting, fishing, or camping without the pair. Use the 105 for detail and fine work, and the 119 is my sternum popper, since 1997, when I found a broad head in a buck that I was field dressing, the hard way. Almost took my right pinky off, reaching in to remove the trachea and esophagus. Now I run the 119 along the sternum, and prop the ribs open with a stick. For a traction aid, skateboard tape on the handle. Good grip and retention, even with wet hands.

@Jamesnebula 2 жыл бұрын

I think the thing about this and many other Bucks is that they are absolutely wicked meat slicing knives. And it's very easy to clean and disinfect when covered in blood and guts unlike many other knives. The blade geometry is basically a combination of a k- bar and a straight razor. I know it's best left unsaid but it would be pretty evil in a self-defense situation.

I cracked the handle many years ago throwing it in near zero degree temperatures. I made a new handle for it out of apple wood. Used the old handle as a pattern. It functions the same only looks nicer.

I toggle between the 119 and 105 depending on how long a trek I’m taking. Both great knives. These hollow grind knives are great alternatives to scandi grind knives.

Ive owned/ used lots of fixed blade knives including the gerber strong arm, many of schrades knives, and the kabars, and I have to say I’ve had this 119 a while and I’ve never replaced it since 2019, I’ve killed many Feral Hogs with it skinned lots of hogs and squirrels, it’s a very capable and well designed knife it’s tougher than people think, I am proud to say I own a Buck 119, I would recommend wrapping the handle though.. moisture can make it a bit slick. I tried skateboard tape but that fell off, so far a bicycle tube has worked best for me

American made,Solid built and decent steel. Go look at European/ German made knife in the same basic configuration. $150/200 to start. This is an American Classic. I picked up the one with Cocoblol wood and D2 steel. Still Affordable. Very pleased.

I have many, MANY, knives. My buck 119, 110 and case trapper will always be my favorites. Everytime I get my 119 out I alway smile a little, it's my deer hunting knife and it works very well for cleaning and butchering. I've made many memories with this knife.

Fantastic! Great review. I was gifted one 10 + years ago by my father and it has seen lots of hiking, camping and fishing trips. It’s surprisingly tough and very slicy! Pretty rust resistant too. I am a knife snob now, but I wouldn’t give that one up for any lt wright or dark timber! #gifts #memories

I have owned this knife for almost 25 years (a gift from my Papa) and have done just about everything you could do (good and bad) to a knife and this has held up to it all. When I was younger, I didn't really care what it looked like, as long as I kept it sharp and rust free. Recently, I've buffed out the scratches and purchased a new sheath and it looks brand spanking new. Maybe I'm a little biased and sentimental but this is one of my all time favorite knives. Plus, c'mon, it looks BEA-UTIFUL.

My 119 is a 'found on ground' acquisition during the winter of 2013. Probably wasn't there for more than a few months, but the weather did it no harm. Built in 1988, an hour with a stone and a new sheath from Buck and it was good to go.

I scraped 60 years of varnish finished oil off my first rescue table with a well-honed 119. I have other tools now, but it was like a set of French Curves for a hunting knife. I loved how long it kept its edge. I sharpened it watching this because it was so long ago. Nicely done.

I drooled over this knife when I was a kid at the hardware and feed stores with my dad back in the 70's. I did finally get a Uncle Henry though, unfortunately I have no idea what happened to it, but I wish I had it today. Now I own several Buck knives among many more expensive knives and I love them. I carry a Buck daily to work.

When I could gather up the nickels and dimes this is the first knife I purchased to hunt with. I have owned mine for over fifty years and still love the way it feels when I take it out of the sheath. It is the only knife I used to clean and skin game until a couple of years ago. Rabbits, deer elk all where taken apart with this knife and it worked perfectly. My only issue was putting an edge back on it. When I finally acquired some decent stones it became much easier to bring it back to the hair popping stage. Great knife.

I literally have had this knife since i was a child my grandpa won it in a pool tournament and its fucking useful. I would do anything between bushcraft survival to self defense to preparing dinner with this knife. If it helps for any of you wanna be ninja snobs I just so hapened to be clasicaly trained in kali (real traditional kali not the karate dojo down the road) and i would be happy with it there too. Ita legit just a good knife that does everything you would want a knife to do while remaining sturdy and holding an edge. Like i said ive had mine since i was a kid playing with it and i literally used it to cut up cucumbers earlier. Its just good and works. I would buy this over any expensive knife if I was in the market for a knife and still expect better results.

This knife works great for cleaning and skinning big game, ducks & geese as well. Have used it to break pelvic bone of deer while gutting Whitetail. No chipping of edge. I've owned one for decades & still carry it in the bush. Can put an edge back on it quick.
