I tried doing that stiching thing on a loop on knife sheath.....bad move........sit down just once and you will see why.....you need the kinfe to ride up a bit when you sit or it gets tangled in everything......
unless it is some super special knife i will go with a mora 100% of the time specially price value wise. (some high end knife will top a mora ofc but not under a 100 bucks if you ask me)
Classic knife. I use mine for bushcraft. I originally thought that the handle would be kinda slick and hard to control, but it stays put. Nice edge retention, easy to sharpen, i got the leather sheath with mine, great quality leather sheath. For the money its hard to beat.
i ve taken mine on several canoe trips,. and have literally swam with it on my belt.never noticed the need for a drain hole and the steel has shown wonderful resistence to rusting. thanks for reviewing a knife we all can afford to own but also actually use!
In 1990 or so, on my way out to the west desert to shot, I stopped by a K-mart to get some ammo. They had the 119 special on sale with a nice leather sheath. I couldn't resist. It has been my favorite camp knife every since.
@223dboy Is that why my granfather's KA-BAR is still kickin? His knife is like 65 years old. I love buck and they do have great quality but it just does not come close to KA-BAR or Benchmade. The Buck Hoodlum is a champ. Love that knife. It splits all the firewood I need in 10 minutes. It's also light weight.
I've used this knife for years, camping, skinning, farm work, butchering, chopping, great high-value knife. keep up the great vids nutin!! Also would LOVE a review on the gerber F.A.S.T draw, another high value folder that souls fit perfectly in ur best folders under $40 series.
A note on the tactical applications: For military use, I think most people would argue the Buck is a bad choice because of the gleam of not only the blade, but also the butt cap and guard. But, in some cases, it pays to have a loud knife like that. Sometimes you want to let someone with bad intentions know exactly what you have to motivate them to rethink their intentions. I believe in the military they call it posturing
this is the best fixed blade of all time imo. it's made well! it fits every category. Hunting, camping, survival, working man's knife. etc. well everything except maybe edc. lol
I know that leather sheaths aren't better, but the only reason most nylon sheaths repel water is because of the plastic insert. I may be wrong, but the only sheaths that completely repel water are kydex.
@nickpprimm Nylon, being made of synthetic materials, is in itself "water resistant". Treated leather with mink oil for example, will repel water as good as plastic but will not be waterproof.
@fretfeeler I KNOW they make leather sheaths, but it doesnt matter if you cant buy them at walmart. And if you've actually been in the rain with cordura, nylon or whatever, you would know it doesnt dry out that quickly, especially when the water is to the point where its in your sheath.
@nickpprimm - Are you kidding me? Nylon is impervious to water. It repels ALL of it, and it will dry out in a matter of a few minutes, once you're OUT of the wet weather... I HAVE been outdoors with all of the materials you have mentioned, lol. I'm not sure what you're getting at, but if you live in a wet area, you should get a nylon sheath over a leather one... the leather sheath is way more stylish and awesome, but it will get screwed up in wet weather... I don't know what you're tripping on.
@nutnfancy - BTW the false edge on top of the Bowie ("Boo E") blade design is for maximum penetration into the Cerebellum of vertebrates. Like you said, it's a very versatile design! :)
My version of this review: If the shit hits the fan - and you're in WAL*MART - head straight to Sporting Goods and grab a BUCK 119 Special. Best value for the money, and trustworthy design. ...Oh... and check out the Cherry wood handle version of the 119 with the brass pommel @ Bass Pro Shops, it's beautiful :)
I'm a beginner blade collector (as in just starting to make the jump to quality knives and swords instead of cheap wall-hangers), and I got this as my first functional fixed blade. I've gotta say, I absolutely love it. Good quality steel from what I can tell, great cutting ability, and in my opinion, a great looking knife. To boot, mine came with a wood-reinforced leather sheath, which just adds to the appeal for me. Great review by the way :)
@horrorfan13666 - this is a good knife. Stick with tried and true classics like this and the KA-BAR fighting knife, then go to better steels and don't buy anything made in China. A Fallkniven F1 will be my next purchase, it's a good deal for a fantastic knife.
@Fretfeeler I owned a KA-BAR short tanto and not even professionals could sharpen it. KA-BAR is not the authority in knife production as far as steel quality goes.
@CAoperator723 - Noted... I think I'm going to get knives with better quality steel from now on, but my Buck Special is still good for some reason they must take extra care with those...
@CAoperator723 - Yeah I know Buck knives get a Paul Bos heat treatment (basically the same as putting a blowtorch to it 3 times carefully if I learned it correctly...), but I have had a couple lately that failed... that does not include my discontinued "Juno" folder, I have been whittling a club out of a very very hard piece of oak and it's still sharp as hell. I guess I should send back the ones that failed to Buck, they will probably replace them with their warranty.
@Fretfeeler Yeah metaluragy is hard to master, even the masters have trouble. The trouble with production knives is the quality of steel. If the knife is lets say .09 carbon, it will require a different heat treatment than a .10 carbon blade. Its pretty much a craps shoot with production blades unless it is supervised with a highly trained expert from slab (when it comes in from the foundry) to finished product. You can have a little leeway as far as quality goes (very good - excellent),
@Fretfeeler And yes, Buck will replace damaged blades as long as there is an adequate reason. Striking the knife against rebar will void the warranty for instance. Just create a belivable story if it wasnt a major malfunction due to normal use.
@OEFvet1986 - That's lame, you should have been issued a KA-BAR fighting knife... or at least a Buck Special. I'm actually kind of pissed at BUCK, the $40 10pt Omni Hunter I got was fail...
@Fretfeeler I was in the infantry as well and was never issued a knife. Although my PL did give me a Hissatsu saying its the only knife you should ever trust to effeciently destroy the enemy. So kinda issued?
@CAoperator723 - that sucks. Especially infantry should always be issued a high quality knife in my opinion. It's the basic survival tool, and what sets us apart from monkeys. Although if you know how to break certain rocks the right way you really don't need a knife I guess.
Anyway their special is a lot better quality than some of their other knives. I was a BUCK guy and still am for many years but they have been failing lately with their other crap, I think I'm going to purchase a Benchmade D2 steel "Bone Collector" next, with a guthook (buck style, go figure).
@nutnfancy - I used to love the 420HC steel that BUCK uses and the heat treatment but after having a couple of bucks fail on me in the last week I'm thinking of getting a Benchmade "Bone Collector" with D2 steel...
@Fretfeeler - by the way the special didn't fail me it was one of their other designs... the omni hunter... it will NOT sharpen back up, I think they failed in the heat treatment. /sigh
@OEFvet1986 - you know what? I beat the hell out of my Omni Hunter and guess what? I got an "almost" razor edge again on it with a little work. I'm still impressed by BUCK. Don't bother with the folders, check out the fixed blade bone collector by Benchmade, if I get enough extra money I'm buying that, it's the sickest knife I have EVER seen to date, in my opinion.
@OEFvet1986 - I'm making a pretty Oak staff and let me tell you what, dead Oak will beat the hell out of a blade... I chopped the DEAD branch off my tree (took me 20 minutes with piece of crap Cold Steel Machete, and it was only 3" thick!). The wood is amazingly hard, but weak lengthwise. I'm gonna use some power tools on it to finish it off I think. I'm only using green Oak branches from now on for whittling. lol. Hard Oak will stop a Samurai sword. Period.
If you think about it, you could draw it pretty quickly if you put it upside down on the left side of your lbe and you can just stick a soldering iron through the plastic/nylon on the bottom and it works as a drain hole
@nickpprimm - Why would you need a drain hole with a nylon sheath, when nylon dries out in a few minutes and is water repellent to begin with? This knife is unaffected by water unless you throw it in the ocean and forget it. The leather sheath that you get in places other than WAL*MART also has a drain hole, by the way. Think about it.
We have it here in Saudi Arabia for 225 Riyals thats around 60USD but it comes with leather sheath as u said they really make a good sheath. I will buy it thanks for the good review dude.
If you get it in that plastic kit from Wal-Mart etc it will come with nylon. If you get it from an outdoor store in a box it comes with the nice leather one.
Yeah. We need a hunting knife to be "tactical." I'm sure you have much use for a tactical knife. How many "hostiles" have you taken out with your tactical knives? STFU mall ninja.
@jjyurkovich uknow people who pay attention might have noticed the dude actually covering this very subject in the god damned video.
indeed the nighthawk would be a better choice for a soldier to take to war. (apparently they have to buy their own knives :S) for the very fact that it has that black blade.
pay attention you e-tellectual basement dwelling fingerpointer.
i have a much the same knife. . well its a buck 119 but its a leather sheeth and they put something on the blade that makes it not shiny its sick. i use it for hunting and combat/duety blade its sick. its a GREAT hand to hand knife its a fast blade
I got one at a big box store and was highly dissapointed when I started to hone the millmarks off the edge.Certanly not heat treated,and that is what the fuck Buck is all about isnt it?Amazes me how everything has been cheapened and we the sheeple arent supposed to notice.
i have a 119 special aswell for some time now and i busted my tip, grinded a new 1 on it and its oke again,sort of a down side i got a leather sheath and its loud, rattles and makes lot of noise in it,and its kinda heavy for me anyway but i am looking to upgrade it. might look at RAT or Coldsteel who knows.
@stealthbeast The WM in Milford sells Buck 119 & 110 as well as as some others. They also sell Gerber, lall in a glass case so you have to get store help.
my dad just passes this knife down to me, its older than me and dull as can be. Ive been trying to sharpen it for a few days now but i don't have the equipment to sharpen it properly
I have owned this knife for 13+ years.No mods. I have used it for just about everything, at work (handyman, and licensed plumber), when i go hunting,fishing,camping to household chores... it has cut/chopped everything i have asked it too.. even some 2+ inch diameter bamboo that grows around here with fair ease. Holds a good edge dont have to sharpen to often.. never had rust spots and i owned this blade for 8 years on a island in very salty humid conditions, never oiled, just cleaned. GET ONE
i have this knife, my grand father bought about 200 for every one of his company and he gave one to me and i use it for everything between hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking, love it. great review again nutnfancy
woo i love this knife i regound the edge to a kitchen knife edge (I NEVER USE IT UNLESS I CANT CUT SOMTHING LIKE ROPE OR EVEN VEGI'S) i do kitchen use's to. i got different knives for differents situation's dont judge me
@mysss29 I have an American English spell-check and it's telling me 'aluminum' isn't a word.
It does however offer a correction, let me just check...yep, it's 'aluminium'.
Look, I'm just having a joke and it's at the expense of Americans that don't seem to be able to say aluminium. I think it's funny, if you can't accept that then don't give me your attention.
@ihaterobbie123 Fine. So you're joking. So don't be hypersensitive when someone calls you on it. Your American English spell checker is wrong. My American Heritage dictionary lists aluminum as a legitimate word. Maybe you should develop a sense of humor toward yourself as well as others. Then you could take it as well as dish it out.
@ihaterobbie123 Check this link. Click Aluminum and see what comes up. I'm sure your British Education is well ahead of ours in North America so I'm sure you'll find it. Check Aluminum Foil. Believe it or not there are boxes of aluminum foil AND boxes of aluminum foil, just like there are different colors and colours. BTW, how did the British manage to make works like "Leicester" pronounced Lester. A silent "ice" is a bit weirder than aluminum. I wish that was the only word it's one of many!
I wish they would make a seven inch blade like this with a kraton handle so they could compete better with ka bar and cold steel as far as combat/survival knives
@justl00king69 Far out, maybe you can find a euro equivalent for around the same price, i just bought one here for $39 AUS i reckon its a copy of the 119 special, its made of the same steel and has the same blade design, but the handle is only slightly different. I guess i'll have to test it out and see what its got
@justl00king69 I dont think it has any brand to speak of, it has "tactical" writen on the packet, the stores name is "anaconda" have a look at their website its in the catalogue now, maybe you could contact them and arrange postage, to my dismay of course, the price has been reduced further due to a sale
@justl00king69 I just got one from the U.S for $48 including postage to Australia, it arrived today woohoo, Ebay, with a leather sheath, very nice classy looking knife in person
I have used this knife somewhat abusively, one day I was chopping at a small 1 inch in diameter oak sapling, then a 1 inch long piece of steel flew off the knife, I love this knife, but the 440 steel kills the durability but it awesome on rust resistance
@EasternGateGuardian let me guess you held it and it felt like it weighed nothing, thats because the hilt and hand guard are aluminum and with a plastic handle.....ur an idiot for making a remark about a buck knife..... fuckin pilots used it in vietnam
geez, chill. saddly, this happenned to my trailmaster...and the brass guard is freaking loose...but the edge holding is way outhere compared to buck 420hc.
@avhousebitch it is full tang and return it too buck its a lifetime warranty...and you must of really dropped this knife cuz i beat the holy hell out of mine
I carried a Buck 120 in the 70s and I used lemon juice to dull the finish.

Yeah. We need a hunting knife to be "tactical." I'm sure you have much use for a tactical knife. How many "hostiles" have you taken out with your tactical knives? STFU mall ninja.

@jjyurkovich uknow people who pay attention might have noticed the dude actually covering this very subject in the god damned video.
indeed the nighthawk would be a better choice for a soldier to take to war. (apparently they have to buy their own knives :S) for the very fact that it has that black blade.
pay attention you e-tellectual basement dwelling fingerpointer.

I got one at a big box store and was highly dissapointed when I started to hone the millmarks off the edge.Certanly not heat treated,and that is what the fuck Buck is all about isnt it?Amazes me how everything has been cheapened and we the sheeple arent supposed to notice.

i have a 119 special aswell for some time now and i busted my tip, grinded a new 1 on it and its oke again,sort of a down side i got a leather sheath and its loud, rattles and makes lot of noise in it,and its kinda heavy for me anyway but i am looking to upgrade it. might look at RAT or Coldsteel who knows.

ETS22395 1 year ago
I have owned this knife for 13+ years.No mods. I have used it for just about everything, at work (handyman, and licensed plumber), when i go hunting,fishing,camping to household chores... it has cut/chopped everything i have asked it too.. even some 2+ inch diameter bamboo that grows around here with fair ease. Holds a good edge dont have to sharpen to often.. never had rust spots and i owned this blade for 8 years on a island in very salty humid conditions, never oiled, just cleaned. GET ONE

hahaha british english funny stuff mate, great knife had mine for years rarely use it.
it was a gift and the steel of the blade always felt brittle to me and I've read many reviews saying it breaks under pry tests and the such.
they usually cost a lot more than the dude on here says but mb at walmart..
you will see this knife everywhere from hollywood to the deer hunter's belt if you are a man and an american you should have one...or maybe two.

@mysss29 I have an American English spell-check and it's telling me 'aluminum' isn't a word.
It does however offer a correction, let me just check...yep, it's 'aluminium'.
Look, I'm just having a joke and it's at the expense of Americans that don't seem to be able to say aluminium. I think it's funny, if you can't accept that then don't give me your attention.
ihaterobbie123 1 year ago
@ihaterobbie123 Fine. So you're joking. So don't be hypersensitive when someone calls you on it. Your American English spell checker is wrong. My American Heritage dictionary lists aluminum as a legitimate word. Maybe you should develop a sense of humor toward yourself as well as others. Then you could take it as well as dish it out.

ihaterobbie123 1 year ago
@ihaterobbie123 Check this link. Click Aluminum and see what comes up. I'm sure your British Education is well ahead of ours in North America so I'm sure you'll find it. Check Aluminum Foil. Believe it or not there are boxes of aluminum foil AND boxes of aluminum foil, just like there are different colors and colours. BTW, how did the British manage to make works like "Leicester" pronounced Lester. A silent "ice" is a bit weirder than aluminum. I wish that was the only word it's one of many!

@justl00king69 Far out, maybe you can find a euro equivalent for around the same price, i just bought one here for $39 AUS i reckon its a copy of the 119 special, its made of the same steel and has the same blade design, but the handle is only slightly different. I guess i'll have to test it out and see what its got
