 The Classic Buck Knife..."Just Plain Perfect" Sep 20, 2007
By Mr. David G. Marin
This is Buck's best selling model for a good reason; it exemplifies the original Buck philosophy...make a strong, utilitarian, durable and attractive knife that will superbly undertake its designed purpose. I purchased my first Buck knife 40 years ago (aside from cosmetic blemishes it is as good as ever), and am pleased to say that this one is just as good as that knife. Still made by hand in El Cajon, California; still with a thick and sturdy leather sheath (imported now but saddle-grade none the less), this is an exquisite piece of cutlery. Besides being an inveterate outdoorsman, I am also a chef and am very choosy about my blades. I never bought a Buck 119 in my youth because in my view it was "too big"...and I also didn't have the disposible income to spend on it. Simply, it is handsome, well-balanced, and a true classic that feels good in your hand...it's the '57 Chevy of hunting knives, and considering inflation, a lot less expensive than it used to be. I have over a hundred knives of every sort but his one fills a special void in my middle-aged life; it's perfect. Do yourself a favor: you know you want one, so buy one; you won't regret it.

Exellent looks, perfomance, & price = A Buck 119 Special Sep 27, 2007
By T. Lewis
Every man should have one of these! I purchased my first Buck 119 Special earlier this year. It has never failed me since. What I loved about the knife was it's weight and balance. It is handle heavy, but it still feels like it's in your control. The blade comes razor sharp and can cut just about anything!!!! Trust me I've tried. I did not buy it from Amazon however. I bought it at Wal-Mart for $34.99 (with a nylon sheath). Almost every Wal-Mart carries this knife. And believe me they arn't cheaply made. If you wish to buy a more reasonable 119, Wal-Mart is place to go. As far as performance goes, the 119 can do anything from skinning your buck to doing camping chores. It's perfect for every woodsman, hunter, fisher, and adventurer!! Please buy this classic all American beauty, you won't regret it!!!!!!

By hog hunter

my late father bought this knife as a christmas gift for me 20 years ago. since then it never left my side while hunting and camping. it skinned deer with ease deboned deer and hogs.and a close friend and i while hog hunting had to make a knife kill with it because a 350 lb boar hog attacked us and his heroic dogs while on a hunt. very scary and exciting at the same time. i would not have wanted any other knife while fighting a wild boar. i will pass it dowm to my grandchildren but not before they hear all the adventures this buck 119 and i been through together. thanks and sorry for the poor punctuation typing is not my thing.buy it and create memories.

Outstanding knife... Dec 12, 2007
By Jack Dempsey
I have had this particular Buck knife for...going on about 15 years now. It has never failed me, has withstood more abuse than I can recollect and, through it all, has scarcely a blemish and an edge that is still sharp enough with which to shave. I have many other knives, K-Bars from my USMC days, Gerbers, Pumas, Case, other Bucks...and all are awesome, but this one is very near and dear to me for all it has been through and all it continues to deliver.
Do yourself a service and pick one of these up. There is simply no better knife for the money. This is one you will hand down to your grandson.

If you only buy one knife...this is it! Aug 01, 2008
By Malcolm Carr
I owned this knife close to 40 years ago...I really sacrificed at the time..very expensive for me then. It was stolen about 20 years ago and I have just replaced it due to getting back to the outdoors.
The knife is the same high quality, sharp, workhorse that it was back then.
The sheath is even of a better quality on this new one...thick and indestructible.
A great gift for the person that demands quality and dependability at an affordable price.
