Buck knives are a very familiar brand to many who have spent anytime in the great outdoors, hunting, fishing, or camping. They seem like they've been around forever, generation after generation. They are as familiar as that trail you've walked a thousand times, or that favorite hunting or fishing spot that keeps calling you back year after year. And while everyone knows what to expect from a Buck knife, it's time everyone took their outdoor knife work to another level and started looking forward by looking back at the Buck 119 Special.
A long time best seller for Buck, the 119 Special is also probably their most classic design featuring a six inch 420HC stainless steel clip point style blade with a handsome blood groove. The handle is made of hard to wear out phenolic and provides a solid non-slip grip. The finger guard and butt are made of high quality and lite weight polished aluminum.
The clip point style blade allows for controlled and precise work in tight quarters such as might be encountered while dressing an animal. The blade, which can be very sharp, is durable and meant for hard use, and is easily capable cutting kindling for a fire, or cutting through bone when dressing out an animal.
The handle feels heavy but it helps to center the knife in your hand and overall the knife handles very well. Phenolic is a very hard and very durable synthetic resin that is not slippery to handle. It is very tough, if not impossible, to break this handle.
The 119 Special comes with a well crafted leather sheath. The sheath has a belt loop for easy and convenient transport, and the latch is of the solid button down variety. The sheath is lined with a thin layer of plastic to prevent the sheath from being cut during repeated insertions and removals.
One of the best qualities of the 119 Special is its light weight--only ten and one half ounces including the sheath. Its lite weight, combined with its durability and diverse functionality make the 119 Special an excellent choice as a survival tool. It can be used for hunting, cooking, cutting wood, and making shelters.
Everyone has heard of the Buck 119 Special. Either their father or brother or grandfather had one that they used on hunting, fishing, or camping trips. The knife has a long legacy of high quality performance and reliability. This legacy continues to this day and helps to make the 119 Special one of the best knifes out there.
