It doesn't matter if you have a Buck 119 or the Gordon copy (I have both) it is not difficult to snap the tip off of them. I have known many people who have had the Buck 119 with a snapped off tip. You can easily re-profile the tip and it still looks killer and is actually stronger because the metal is thicker at the point of the break or you can send it back to Buck and they will replace it for you.

@gunsquawk4443 2 жыл бұрын

Tried it with mine, it didn't break. So what's your point?

@aaronhardway343 2 жыл бұрын

@@gunsquawk4443 My point is precisely that...... The "point" of the Buck 119 120 etc. will easily break. The thickness of the blade dramatically reduces at the tip of those knives and it doesn't take much to snap it if you aren't careful. However, if you do snap it there is enough blade out there you can grind a new tip on the knife and unless you know the knife you would never notice it. That is my point.......

It just so happened I had to pause this video to make a trip to Harbor Freight and decided to look to see if they had these. They did, $24.99. I have a (circa 2002) Buck 119 I was fondling before I left, the differences I saw were the grind on the Gordon's clip point is a bit more aggressive, this doesn't make much difference to me. The resin handle on the Gordon seemed more matte/gritty than the smooth Buck handle. I think the Buck is better because the smooth resin feels like it's give a slightly better grip than the powdery matte finish of the Gordon. One thing I do prefer about the Gordon was the guard and pommel aren't stacked like the Buck. My Buck's guard kinda slides out of alignment, not a big deal but it bugs me in an OCD way. I looked to see if the pommel is pinned like the Buck but couldn't tell, Buck hides the pin well but you can tell if you look very close, I couldn't tell on the Gordon. If you're invited to go camping or hunting and need a knife on short notice, there are better options but this will work fine. I just retired my 119 because it's a little too much knife for deer hunting and it rides too high on my belt and the pommel knocks my safety off because I hunt with an old Lee-Enfield. I hope to get a Terava Jaakaripuukko 110 when the budget allows it.

This knife is not designed for prying...due to the shape of the tip. Try that to your $200 knives, and you will have similar result, either shattered or bent, especially high HRC knives. The 7Cr15Mov(?) blade is tougher in general, and can withstand chipping better, but not without its limits. As other here noted that any steel when bent, will induce stress hardening to that area. To bend it back, it is advised to heat the area to relief the stress before bending it back.(a better way maybe to hammer it back agaist the flat surface, rather than the poster's way, which acutally abuses the knife ... I do not see how he can bend it back like that without knowing how much of a force to do so.

@thealarmclock9307 Жыл бұрын

You don't reheat a knife to bend it back.. that's not "aDvIsAbLe".. it ruins any heat treatment it may have had, and will anneal the steel to a point where it will never hold or take an edge again. He did right try to bend it back cold.. if it breaks , you repair the tip on a grinder carefully and keep it cool. You don't heat blades once their finished... Anything over 3-400 degrees removes temper.. heat the knife and you ruin the whole knife.. instead of just the tip.. Nice try sounding like an expert though. And as far as your " high hardness " talk... That's garbage too.. I have torture tested several 60-62 hrc blades, and some broke and some didn't.. what matters is tip geometry.. this is why bushcraft knives have stout tips.. The buck 119 design was intended as a camp/hunting knife . To tend to camp stuff like cooking and food prep.. and hunting stuff.maybe light light chopping, preparing fish or game...... That's why it has a fine tip..

One trick with cheap knife sheaths is to take super glue and run over the stitching on both sides. This increases the life of the stitching considerably. And I've seen some "name brand" sheathes have catastrophic failure of the stitching and other worse problems. I've owned some good nearly indestructible knives that came with absolute disasters of sheaths. Especially true with some Cold Steel knives. I got a bushman years ago. The knife is still going strong but the plastic liner in the cloth sheath got brittle and shattered like glass when I dropped the knife once. And not freezing, it was an 80 degree day. Not something you'd want to have happen in the field. I'm not really trusting plastic handles either to be honest.

A bench vice would have bent it back, "maybe" could very well brake in the vice to.

If the bench vise came from HF, the vise may break if you try to straighten out the knife blade! Some of them don't have a good reputation AT ALL!!

You can buy 3 of these for the price of the Buck. What they DON'T tell you, 1 Buck will outlast 3 of these cheap knockoffs. Be smart. Buy the Buck. It will last you forever.

i believe if he did the same tip testing to the Buck version, it would break too. It's a thin tip not designed for prying. Simple as that.

Instead of getting these buck knives get a Fällkneven they are the best survival knives ever made, get the x series for strength and the pro series of you live in a cold climate yes, they are expensive but I have the A1x and the f1xb and I have no regrets I’m going to get the Nl5 soon they are amazing knives

You would have a resale value with the Buck too as nobody would want to buy a second hand harbour freight copy.

As to advertising by Harbor Freight marketing. That is how Harbor Freight advertises for most of their products. They always compare their item to Skill, or Dewalt, or other high end products. Then tell you how you would save money comparing apples to oranges to bananas... As always it is up to the buyer/consumer to determine what they are willing to live with.

There's another reason to want a knife that looks like the Buck 119... It's the knife from the Scream movies.

@D00MTR33 Жыл бұрын

That what happens when you try to bend it back the wrong way. If you bend your tip don't "try to fix it" by just randomly stabing it and bending it the opposite way. Use a hammer and light taps to pound it back into shape. That tip looks weak (not sure how it is on the 119) by desing. Hollow gring and the swedge end before the tip so there's no reinforcement. My guess a 119 would bend and break the same way.

Pretty much what you expect in a China Freight knockoff. They commonly use that ad technique on their knockoff tools, telling you how much you save buying theirs instead of the real thing.

First I collect knives and have several Case knives which are all hard to sharpen,but that’s ok they are good to look at.Puma use to make a Skinner knife that could be razor sharp ,the last one I could not.Turns out the big knife makers are selling out to Chinese.Their steel is not tempered right,plus it rusts and stains easily.

Personally, I don’t consider any stick tang knife a viable survival knife, and don’t consider them true full tang knives either, even if they go all the way thru. But I also don’t consider knives with skeletal tangs (such as Becker) good choices either. I want solid steel, all the way. The added weight, as well as a little hand shock when and if chopping is a small price to pay for the added strength in my opinion

@kydd666 2 жыл бұрын

A quick search for becker BK9 destruction and torture tests will prove you have nothing to worry about with skeletonized handles from that brand . Everyone has a preference and i can respect that but i'd trust a BK9 over a lot of other true full tang knives in it's price range

I would have to agree with you. Rattail tangs or stick tangs as they are referred to at times, are better suited to combat knife blades. For survival purposes, I want a full tang blade.
