Every hunter knows that Buck knives are a stalwart of toughness, functionality, and simplicity. It seems like everyone and their grandpa has used a Buck knife on a hunting, fishing, or camping trip. The Buck 119 Special is maybe the most classic of all the Buck designs. The 119 Special has a straightforward no frills kind of design that doesn't limit the knife's versatility and functionality. Everyone feels like they know this knife already, but it is high time that everyone re-visited the quality and tradition that is the 119 Special.
A perennial best seller for Buck, the 119 Special features a classic design and look that looks very simple but that is capable of performing a diverse range of functions. The knife is ten inches long with a six inch 420HC stainless steel clip point style blade. The handle is phenolic, a synthetic plastic material that can take whatever abuse you can throw at it. The knife's look is finished off with a polished aluminum finger guard and butt.
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 sheath is solidly built with a sturdy button down latch and a belt loop. The belt loop is adequate to get the job done and the latch is reliable and tough. Also, the inside of the sheath is lined with plastic so that you don't cut up the sheath while taking the knife in and out.
The 119 Special is also fairly light weight--10.5 ounces including the sheath. The light weight--combined with all the other attributes and features and capabilities described above--make the 119 Special a solid choice as a one-stop survival tool.
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.
