Buck 124 hard use test pt 1

- would this make a good zombie apocalypse knife? Maybe, but the aluminum caps on the end can't handle too much abuse.
It's still a pretty tough blade and the rest of the handle done great.
Now that is how you do a real world knife review. I am beyond impressed!!
Thank you for doing this test. At nearly $200 this certainly isn’t a cheap knife, so giving it a really good beating like this is something most reviewers hesitate to do.
I’ve been considering buying a 124 for a long time. Been carrying my 119 for many years, ever since I bought it when I was 16 years old. I know the limits of my 119, and it serves me well. Wasn’t sure what the 124 can take, but this video definitely shows it can take more than I expected. I’m extremely impressed with how well the tip held up under that sort of abuse.
After seeing this test I went ahead and bought myself a Buck 124. Paid for the fastest shipping so hopefully it’ll be here tomorrow.
Thank you.
It surprised me as well. It's actually pretty tough and the tip is definitely stronger than I anticipated.
You hit the pommel with a hammer wich would deformed the aluminum against the Steel cross pin that's why it's loose, not the drop.
Whew, I watch thousands of knife reviews, and dbk kills a lot of knives, but that was the roughest tip test I ever had to watch, felt like shielding my eyes but couldn’t stop watching! Fine blade
It really is a great knife
I was not expecting a buck to pummel through a cinderblock
Tremendous test and that Buck took it like a champ. I am actually surprised.
thanks for doing this because no one else does crazy things like this to their knife! but I think you proved this is an amazing knife!
The best Buck knife I've used for sure. Thank you
A more important preparation for SHTF or zombie apocalypse is some daily cardio. If you're winded from this little bit of activity, your main concern during an apocalypse should be the lack of cardiovascular surgeons . . .
🤣🤣🤣
Zombified cardiovascular surgeon! Ruuuun!!!
I like.that knife a lot ,but I would have thought it would have held up better especially the handle ,
but the blade did well. It's going to be interesting to see more testing of this Buck Knife.💰🐻💰
….every test in this video was a gross abuse test in my opinion you can’t ask for much more from a knife…knives are made for fine cutting…the idea you did this entire test without leather gloves blows my mind one hell of a knife test sir…good to know you did the tests so I don’t have to…my buck 124 and 121 will remain razor sharp for gutting/butchering and at the most maybe chopping or carving
121 or... 120?
You used to be able to hammer a Buck knife through a bolt. It would chip the blade but not break it. Their logo used to be a knife cutting through a bolt I believe on an anvil. That is some serious knife abuse. Always have liked Bucks. If your knife can’t open a can of food throw it away. I never carried a can opener when I went camping. I just relied on my knives. It probably isn’t loose as much from dropping it as it is from pounding on it with a steel hammer.
Here is a video of a Buck getting hammered through a bolt or screw. P38 is a handy item! LOL.

Bolts must be harder these days. 😂
Thanks from Australia. I like the 124 bieng stainless and alway wondered about its capability- I would never abuse it like that- so I appreciate the test run. Cheers.
I’ve had mine for a couple years now. Goes with me everywhere. I am considering making some micarta and getting some custom scales. May even see about an exposed pommel. I don’t know, I may buy another just in case I mess the first one up. Glad to see how well it held up. You certainly put it through its paces.
I need part 2!!!
I think the butt was loosened when you hit it with the hammer not the dropping.
This
@@fathersonsurvival The 124 is a really nice knife with a classic profile. I also have the 119 pro, 277 Alpha Hunter, 2 110's and a number of others Buck makes a great knife.
Been waiting for a video like this
They are hard to find. Everyone babies the Buck.
@@MrRottman43055 yea hopefully you m ake a part 2 of this soon id like to see what happens with the handle. Do you think it would come loose batoning wood & chopping wood over time?
@@konnorwerth4906 Nope! This was not a hard use test, but knife abuse. This guy evidently has never used a wrecking bar or even a pry bar or crow bar which would be the proper tools for some of these tasks along with a hatchet. Some people don't deserve good tools.
Great review
Holy moly thank you for doing this I can't even afford to watch this video.
124 is so expensive
Wears a sidearm for personal protection... but forgoes all the important PPE here like safety glasses. I get it, but it's funny.
I got one of these back in the early 90s, with a wood handle. I keep it as my "pretty" knife. But, your test shows it's tougher than I would have expected. For a zombie apocalypse, I'd probably go with my Esee 6 or Esee 5.
The ESEE 5 is nearly indestructible.
this is the most rigorous beat down of a review I have ever seen!
Where do I get one of those!? I haven't seen one.
It's a HUNTING knife. You'll never live through an apocalypse.
Good evaluation/test! I could hear the butt rattling before you dropped it on the concrete tho. My guess was that happened when you hammered the pommel with the hammer when driving the blade into stuff....
I'd rock a SOG seal pup for the zombies. Big enough to get to the brain, but not so big that it would get stuck. This one would be good for all the other survival stuff you'd have to do though
That was painful to watch. I have my 2nd 124 and a Esee 6. I think the 124 is a good camp knife but I wouldn't use it in a desperate survival situation because too many parts. I wouldn't be surprised if the blade guard could be knocked off somehow. I still like the 124 very much.
Wow!!! Such a good test‼️‼️‼️
Part 2 soon hopefully??
If you really want to see how tough this or just about any other knife is, go check out what JoeX puts them through. He does ridiculous things that were never intended or probably ever will be done to a knife until it breaks but it gives yoy an idea of what they can actually take before failing
You should provide an update video as to bucks lifetime warranty did they honor the warranty
The only real damage was the end butt cap loosening up a bit. I not sure if I will go to the trouble to send it back to see if they will retighten up. If I do I will post what they say here.
Bucks lifetime warranty is for manufacture defects not for abusing the knives this wouldn't be covered
Great video. About time I see someone that doesn't treat their pretty knife as a safe queen. It basically means you're mature enough to know it's just a tool. And tools are to be tested and used. Any lumps or bumps they get are simply character that tells a story. I've seen knives people had for 50 years. Nothing special. Just shiny. And they've never been used. I say if that's what you want to do with it. Buy jewelry or a painting or something that has no other use, than just to be looked at. If not, you're wasting a perfectly functional knife that someone else would have loved to have to use as a tool. Just my opinion.
Thank you. It's hard finding ANY hard use test on Buck knives. I was KICKED OUT of TWO Buck knives groups on Facebook in part because of this video.
@@MrRottman43055 that just means those groups are only about form over function. Not the other way around. I’m a country boy. So I don’t give a damn how pretty a knife is. If it’s gonna break as soon as i try to use it. That’s why i like my buck knives. They are really nice to look at. But i use my knives. So they have their scars of use. But they didn’t break. So those scars of character look pretty darn nice to me. Because it proves the pretty bucks are also tough. Which is the only reason i own them. No safe queens at my house. They all earned their place in my home.
Zombie apocalypse? Good god, how old are we?
if you hit the pommel on the sides with a rubber mallet would it get the two pieces to align/tighten again?
I don't think so
you might be able to re-peen the pins with a hammer and then refinish it. You can do this on folders like the 110 for blade play.
Dude what the hell you tripping on?
Lol, there is absolutely nothing of value on these tests save pure entertainment, if you end up in the proverbial "survival situation" you had better respect the limitations of your tools and take damn good care of them, because your better off with a half-ass tool than no tool at all.
excuse me, knowing how it will behave in a zombie apocalypse is VERY important. Those zombies they'll getcha
@@EricFleming231 Not if you stay out of Democrat run cities, it's just too easy to avoid them
They are fun. I guess you’d need to “test” a large number of knives with a control. Have someone repeat it. If I was rich, had the video cameras, editing software and the ability time and desire to do it I probably still wouldn’t. Ya they are really just fun. It’s good to dispel myths and let people know you can do things with the knives, they aren’t just works of art.
@@MrJoshDoty I own the very knife in question, and it's definitely a user, but there is exactly zero reason I would ever need to abuse it this way. Knives are tools with a specific application, you can do some things outside of this like minor chopping, prying etc that it wasn't really meant for, but if you end up lost, or surviving a plane crash, or whatever wild "what if" situation you prefer, respect your tool, and use your head, you'll be glad you did.
Esquinter un si beau couteau, dommages.
I would like to know why you would you bother testing a little knife and a hollow grind at that? Why pay that amount just to destroy a half way good knife?
joe x. Broke that knife Five minutes into the video. He stabbed the windshield Broke the tip Then snap the blade With the log
ZOMBIES REALLY
Id take my Esee 6 over that buck any day.
What does that mean! To cut apart a can? I'd oylf got my ass kicked for abusing tools like that!
Yeah that was crazy :(
