2010年1月22日 · The 119 Special is a full tang, but it is not an exposed tang such as a 124 Frontiesman or any other similar knife that has a slab (two separate pieces) handle. The 119 tang runs completely through the handle into the butt which is riveted to the tang.

2001年4月3日 · My 119 is like this and nice and tight, so is my 102. My 212 was also like this, and the guard was not easy to remove when I rehandled it so i can say confidently that it's not an issue. If I remember correctly the gap like this continues to the handle and pommel, my guess is for air escape when gluing during assembly.

2005年5月27日 · I handled a Buck 119 Special today and thought about adding a big fixed blade to my hunting/camping gear. I own a Buck 110 folder for field dressing big game in the bush and I really like it. I want a bigger fixed blade for doing any tough jobs on deer, moose and bear. I also would like it for a general purpose camping knife.

2014年1月25日 · The Buck 119 weighs approximately 7.5 ounces. The KA-BAR depending on blade size weighs approximately 6.40, 11.20, and 12 ounces according to their website. The Buck 119 is shiny steel. The KA-BAR is flat black non reflective. The Buck 119 is hollow ground. The KA-BAR is flat ground.

2009年10月25日 · I want to purchase a Buck 119 but cannot decide on what steel. Copper and Clad carries everything from standard 420HC, 5160, S30V, ect.. If you use a Buck 119 in the standard 420HC and have other Buck 119's in the different steels, can you compare them and give me a recommendation on what you like best.

2004年11月23日 · What do you all think about the 420hc, how is the heat treat, and just general thoughts about the knife. I have always liked the look of the 119 special and it was the first fixed blade I ever bought and used. I am curious with all the new alloys and carbon steels, how does the buck 119 hold up. E. I. Compared to an esee or becker

2007年10月16日 · As stated above, it's a model number/name. But the 119 Special is available in aluminum guard/pommel and phenolic grip or brass guard/pommel and wood grip...Plus there are Custom Specials with premium steel blades and exotic grip materials...and the very-older Specials were made with premium steel blades...It gets complicated...

2010年7月19日 · I remember finding the date codes for them a while back and it had a website explaining some of the history behind the 119, though unfortunately I didn't really absorb too much of it. From what I recall, they introduced the 119 in 1961 and it was pretty much an instant success with hunters and sports enthusiasts, and has been popular and ...

2007年2月21日 · Yes the 119 is also called the "special". Im not "trying" to break the tip off of any knife but, I dont want a knife that I cant depend on either. I have broke 119's in the woods while merely attempting to hack down several small trees with approx 2 to 3 inch diameters to make a shelter for the night.

2008年4月13日 · I have some concerns about Buck's QA and controls. I just purchased one of the Buck 119 Special Limited Edition knives with the stacked leather washer and cow bone handles from a reliable dealer. It came completely sealed in the 'tamper proof' box from Buck and had never been previously opened. Upon opening, I was extremely disappointed!
