Buck 119

[Valkman]

I had one of these classic knives with the stock black handle but lost it long ago. I got an email from Buck that they did another run of "Special" 119's so I ordered one with the Cocobolo handles. Beautiful knife, and it will bring back some memories.View attachment Buck_119_Cocobolo1.webp

Nice looking knife.

I ordered one yesterday as well after my wife decided she had to have the folder they released yesterday.

Mine shipped, but I didn't spring for the $20 shipping so it won't be here until the 15th.

I lost count a long time ago of how many deer I have gutted with my Buck 119 in about 40 years. I have several other knives. But no other seems right.

I got the knife but have been in the hospital. Pics when I get home!

 

[Mk-211]

Hope you're feeling okay.

We're all standing by.

I had an angiogram Monday but no stent put in. I am back home, and thanks for the well wishes.

IDK a Buck 119 seems like an awful lot of knife for gutting a deer to me.

I have a custom 110 with S30V blade and elk handles. Sweet knife.

Depends on the user I guess. I like the way they work with the standard 420 HC.

Had a Buck Vanguard that I really liked, but, my older son decided he liked it more! Like my Buck knives. This 110 has seen a LOT of field work.

Nice goat!

 

[.45Coltguy]

Yeah, he was a nice one. Damn hard tag to get in Ca.

Must've been a heck of a hunt! That and knowing where to find pronghorn in CA.

I get that. But I don't have to carry a hatchet to break the pelvis bone on large deer. If I decide to cut out the anus instead it is long enough to do the job cleanly. It also cuts through the ribs well. I suppose it doesn't matter on small deer in most states. My nephew uses a smaller knife very well but I don't have his skill.
I am not certain how it can be too much knife But I know others agree with you.

That's exactly how I put a 119 to use on deer. It's the only tool needed to get one ready to butcher.

Both of my 119s, one from my father and one inherited from an uncle have field dressed a decent amount deer.

This was from one of the three dressed this year.

Congratulations, the stock photo is very nice. Looking forward to some real pics and hope all is well with you and your hospital stay.

I don't under stand why I have never own a buck knife fixed blade. I love the design. I don't know how many deer and elk I have dress with a 110 but is is a lot as I have lost count. Beautiful knife by the way.
