My kind of knife.
I agree about the destructive tests conducted on knifes not designed for the task. A number of times I have watched knife videos and asked myself "Yeah, but what did think was going to happen?".
@@Chris-eo9kh I agree. While I never expected to use a knife in a way that it was not intended for, life has taught me to that when my knife is the only tool with me, it will get used in MANY different ways other than it was intended. Why wouldn't I want to know how much abuse a knife can take? Besides, if we only watched one type of review we only get one side of the story. Heck, the number of "long term reviews" I watch where the blade has obviously never seen a stone are worthless to me. Re-stropping a factory edge doesn't give me any real value as it tells me that you don't USE your knives like I do. That doesn't make them useless to others. So, as far as I am concerned, make as many different types of videos as you guys want. I will take all the different viewpoints and add my own experiences in before I make a purchase.
Your right. I own a Buck 124 and don't use it because of what I paid for it. Same goes for my 120 General. Lol I'm gonna buy that Warivo knife. Thanks man.
You’re very welcome 🙂
Thank you for the great review. It's cool to hear that you have evolved. That is the essence of acquiring knowledge and we are fortunate enough to tag along. Thank you
As a certified ZAT (Zombie Apocalypse Training) instructor, when students often ask for a knife recommendation, I refer them to 411 Outdoors. These showcase videos help with a cost/benefit analysis. It appears that the Buck 124 inspired Warivo does everything that the Buck does at a quarter of the price. Of course, it lacks the cachet of a Buck - but then, I seriously doubt that a Zombie is going to know the difference. You can drop $200 on the 124, or take the same $200 and buy the Warivo, a bow, arrows, and a slingshot.
Thanks my friend!🙂
If you are a first responder, military, LE etc you can save a ton on Buck if you sign up for it. Also, if you sign up for emails, you can get coupon codes for 20% off on top of that. This is still a good deal though.
As a retired navy walrus sniper, if your gear aint bright green, you are a poser
@@alfonsedente9679 are you intending this for me? WTF is wrong with you?
@@jeremyd2003 nobody talkin to you. Baby get back in the corner
A skinning knife, maybe if your skinning a Buffalo, or Elk. As a former hunter I prefer a blade like the Kalinga, with a nice curved blade. The 124 does make a good butcher knife for when you've gutted and skinned the critter. Now you need a big knife to break down the carcass. That is the 124's best job. Plus camp chores. I would never buy a knock off. I like the real 124. Which is why I saved my pennies and bought one last May. Stay sharp.
Yea, not a skinner. You never know what you'll hear on RUclips. Take everything with a grain of salt.
This knife also reminds me of (and looks more like) the Buck "Nemo" divers knife they use to make back in the day.
Thats for a reason. The Nemo IS the Buck 124. As a diving knife the Nemo reviewed poorly, but the outdoorsy type actually were extremely fond if it. Eventually the Nemo was rebranded as the 124 frontiersman to fill that demand.
Knives shouldn't be tested and expected to perform outside of their intended use.
One specialist knife you should check out is Spyderco Matriarch with the Emerson opener.
Thank You for sharing! I appreciate these videos because there's certain styles I'd like to add to my collection without paying the premium price.
Many forget that the knife must have a comfortable and functional handle adapted to the shape and size of their hand. The quality of the blade is often crippled by the unusability of the handle. I like this design.
I bought a Randall #12 Smithsonian bowie some years ago and the grip was nothing short of massive , it took two hands to wield it . After calling and talking to a rep at Randall's I took a coarse rasp and sandpaper and got handle down to a comfortable usable grip .
Love the buck 124 but as you said it sure is pricey and the warivo in definitively a close enough replica at a great price.
As far as the testing you mentioned goes just do enough of a test to pass your quality of hardship standard
Thank you for showcasing that knife Daniel cause I really like it! I like the length of blade, the profile, the materials and Warivo is not unknown, they make a good knife! Great video!!!
Glad you like it bro!
The Buck 124 here in Canada, if I'm not mistaken, it sells for around three hundred dollars or more. In most places the Buck 119 sells for about one hundred and twenty dollars.
I'm really liking that Warivo Knock-Off. Looks pretty solid. That is a knife I would buy to use. If it's available here it would probably sell for upwards of one hundred dollars. By the time we pay our thirteen percent Tax added to the cost of the knife. It is very similar in appearance to the 124. And I imagine the weight is close to the Buck as well. Always nice seeing budget friendly Bowie Knives.
Also I'm interested in seeing some of those big Warivo knives you mentioned as well. It's another Brand I am not familiar with. Thanks for showing us this little beauty.
Anytime!
Thankfully i have ordered mine today. They have been out of stock. For the past few weeks now. An now available today.
Thanks for the video.
I'm not a fan of that style of knife, so I can't really speak to the comparison. I had lived fifty years without getting around to hunting, so I didn't have a skinning knife. I was about to start preparing to hunt when my health failed. I doubt that I'll ever need a skinning knife. When I think of getting a big knife to carry, I think in terms of the bushcraft knives or a kukri. Ultimately, I'm not in a position to make good use of any of those either, but I just like them better.
That buck tang is steel surrounded by aluminum hence why you can see the difference. The Warivo probably uses the same steel from the knife to make the pommel caps for the handle. As its seem isn't visable. Maybe its welded. Could be glued who knows.
I wish the Buck 124 had the same blade length as the Warivo knife. I LIKE THE LONGER BLADE.
I really appreciate that you do these videos on some of the 'alternative' knife brands that might not be as well known. There are various, such brands all over Amazon and you help determine whether some of these more budget friendly knives are good or if they aren't even worth the relatively low price.
To me knives like this are not 'knock offs'. Instead, they take a fairly common design that is made by other companies, including Buck - and maybe the specific style is most identifiable with Buck - and put their own spin on them. For instance, just because Ford might produce a compact, hatchback car doesn't mean they are ripping off Honda, etc. They are simply producing their, own version of a product that has a certain popularity in the market.
I am sure the Buck is, overall, likely of better quality than the Warivo. At the same time is the Buck really four times the quality at four times the price? Also, how many of us common knife users are ever going to really wring that extra quality out of such a knife? I am a big fan of knives, in general, especially various types of fixed blades, but at the end of the day it is a slab of sharp steel with a handle. Buck has a standard 'formula' for this class of knife and has been producing them for years. It isn't like they require R&D, new machinery, etc. for these long time designs. The only thing, IMO, that 'justifies' a $180 price tag is the 'Buck' stamp on it. $100? Sure. $120? Okay - but $180? Naw. Not even if I had a boatload of money. Buck can put whatever price they want on their product and if it sells at that price then more power to them. The flip side is it creates a market for similar knives at a fraction of the cost and that goes for any knife company.
Heck, one of these days I want to splurge and order a 110 from the Buck custom shop with stag handles, nickel bolsters and possibly a different blade steel. It will probably cost around/over $200 but it will be my, specific knife and the materials will justify it. Close to $200 for a standard production knife? Nah.
Good motorcycle knife for overnight camping.
I generally dont throw a ton of money at any one knife, but the 124 was one of the exceptions. When I go camping, hiking or even just out on an adventure, the 124 is the only knife I trust with my life. You dont always want to carry an axe, or a variety of tools if you are just going out for a little while but having a knife that can do just about anything and be confident that it can handle the task is a surprising comfort. It saves on weight, and after all, a knife is a tool and a tool deserves to be used. The 124 is well worth the money as it will always be there, reliable, when you need or want it to be. Buck knives are indeed quite pretty, but they look even better when they are used and broken in. I would not be confident in putting a clone through the same level of use that I put the 124 through. I dont really consider the 124 to be a "specialized" knife, but rather the kind of knife that is not great any one thing but good at everything, and it has the durability to match that ideal.
Well said!
I have the 124 and I also don’t use it. I wish it had the handle of that knockoff because it looks about perfect. Thanks for the video
The 124 was my first large knife back in 1982 when I did my first camping trip starting in Canada going through United States down to the bottom of Mexico and back. I also had the little Hatchet. Those are long gone but a few years ago I started a collection from 101 to 124 mostly in Cocobolo handles except for the 124. I even came across the 117 and 119 Brahma with leather grips.
I like big Bowie knives but usually use them for gardening.
Amazon calls it D2 steel. Yes I'm liking it. Nice throw.
Thank you!🙂👍
That pommel & tang may be 1 piece. Notice how thin the pommel on the Warivo is. Could indicated a 1 piece machined construction. However even if its not a true full tang it still has plenty to do the job. Besides I mostly use hidden tangs anyway. Though i tend to make my own so i know what they can handle. No pun intended...(well maybe a little lol).
I invested in a few Timber Rattler Outlaw Bowies myself because they seem fairly indestructible.
I actually carry a few different types of blades for versatility - different uses. I haven't practiced throwing in a long time but I have given some thought to trimming one of my Outlaws down and give it a try. I have seen a video of a guy who was pretty good with the Timber Rattler.
Above all I like the chopping capabilities of the Rattlers and the classic design.
The size makes them look kinda Cartoonish but I also like the Road Runner.
Thanks for the video!!
Congratulations on all them Subscribers 👏
Thanks my friend!
I purchased my 124 in the early 90's, ordering from a catalog, I really didn't realize what I was getting. One heck of a great knife, haven't used it much, but it's one of my favorites nonetheless. .
If you bought it in the 90's you should hang on to it. it has a top quality blade made by Camillus Cutlery. Since they went out of business in 2007 not sure who is making the blades for Buck now.
@@richbutler7828so, you're saying Buck didn't make their own blades? I heary they don't know how to temper either, hey?
@@stevek8829 Most of the blades for buck were made by Camillus Yes it's a pretty common practice.
You did not mention if the knockoff had a convex grind at the edge (1/4") or so like the 124 has. The 124 is easy to sharpen, especially in the field, by stropping on your belt.
@@csh6220 I’d have to go back and look I love stropping and you’re exactly right about the regular 124
I love the look and yes, I love the crocodile dundee aspect of a knife. Another excellent review!
Thank you! 🙂
I've used the same Buck 124 for over 40 yrs , caught a dept (JCPenney)store moving and got the knife for $25 . Yes the grip is/ was too thick untill I sanded a good bit off the scales .
Don't know what I'd use it for. Considering the way that I use a knife and what I use them for ,I am better served by a Case Sod Buster or a Mora Companion. I have a hachet/tomahawk for chopping and processing firewood. Fact is, if someone my knife for splitting wood I would probably be a bit upset. There is a huge difference between bushcrafting and survival, a fact that seems to be lost on a lot of folks.
Looking at the Warivo right now. I have the 124 and love it, use it regularly and thinking of the warivo for more use where I am worried about losing the 124. Thanks for the review.
Change out the handle with a Stag crown handle and it's a beautiful knife. Great review. Thanks for sharing. Many blessings
You as well!
@@411Outdoors Thank you
I once used a knife for shearing Christmas trees for about sixty hours a week for about 3/4's of a summer. I wish now that I had offered to buy one when I left.
That was back in 1991 though....
Interesting review. I am attracted to so many knives for so many reasons, the steel, exotic wood, blade design, price, etc. However, the biggest reason for a specific knife is the specific purpose. No knife can do everything well. So, before I buy another knife, I ask myself what I will use it to do. As for the torture tests, I have no problem with them, but it is true that the given purpose of a knife will likely determine the results of these tests, blade steel and a few other factors aside.
I do a lot of hunting and skinning everything from Black bear to rabbit. I've heard a smaller blade 5-in blade would be about perfect my favorite knife. I think it's got a 4 and 1/2 in blade
the shape is similar to the smokey mountain knife works knife and hatchet combo i got a long time ago it might be cheap but dam is it sharp sinned a frog like butter
Nice video Thanks.
As far as I could hear there was no mention of what type of steel in the knock-off knife?? What steel is it made out of? Is it a decent steel or is it a Chinese steel?
@@GlenMones-le6yf Supposedly D2
That's a good review. Very fair. ❤
I'm not one for cheap replicas but $45??? 😮 That looks like a solid knife you could use in self defense. If I were in a pinch and didn't have over 100 blade types from Cold Steel I would be tempted to buy it. It looks like a solid thruster. A good twist on the way out finishes things nicely.
If you like Buck knives, check out the Buck 120, one of my favorites. Only 100 dollars.
Love it!
I like it!!
D2 steel?
Very cool!
My favorite BIG knife these days is a COLD STEEL kukri.
But my regular carry knives are a 4 in tanto and a smaller switchblade.
Others too 😉
6:25 It’s throw time! And yes, I think I speak for many of your followers when I say “I definitely want to see it thrown.” Would never try that w/ a $200 knife, but would not hesitate with the Warivo.
Problem with expensive knifes is that when ya lose them you’re mad & depressed! When ya lose a $45 knife ya stay mad & depressed but not for as long! 🤷♂️🤣 Another good review, you are definitely the ‘’go to’’ guy for honest reviews . Thank you
Much appreciated!🙂
Fuller beard is a good look dude. Thanks for this, I want a 124 for the aesthetic but I'm not spending Buck money on a knife I probably won't use much.
Thanks!🙂
Thank you for the review. I think it's a pretty nice knife for around $45. Buck is premium but some of the knives lower in price are pretty good too. I've been watching alot of knife review videos on RUclips and some if not many of them say not to spend a fortune on your EDC knife theory being if you're going to use it every day you can buy an off brand lower priced knife for that and your glass case knives should basically be display knives but everyone has their preference. - I think if I pay $20- $30- $45 dollars on an EDC if it farts on me in two years I figure I got my money's worth out of it and by that time I'm looking to buy a new knife anyway. 😂 That definitely is a Crocodile Dundee knife 🔪 for sure. 👍😎
Do to the nature of the rockwell of buck knives the blades will snap. a buddy snaped his 124 in half..told him not to pry. Oh well lol.
Haha! Yep definitely not for that
I got a 124 my friend had when he passed away. I thought it would be a good trail knife. I did some light duty trail trimming and the pins kept coming loose in the scales and the scales were always loose. then after some light trimming the blade edge bent about 2/3 of the way back the wave in the edge was almost an inch long and maybe a 1/16 inch out of line. I sent it back to buck and they repaired it. It appeared to be the same parts just straightened. I let it go. I would rather have a blade chip for abuse instead of bend. I just sharpened a couple Buck knives for a friend yesterday. I don't like the feel of the steel they use when I sharpen them. It is hard to get an edge on and hard to get rid of the feather edge to finish. They may be tough but are not hard enough to satisfy me.
Well yes, the steel in the Buck 100 series sheath knives if pretty hard, at least all the ones I have. I use the Ken Onion Deluxe Work Sharp to tidy up an edge. I take it by "Trimming" using the 124 like a machete? Which it was never designed to do. I love my 124, and only use it for knife work. But each to their own.
Um bom amigo você teve. Te deixou uma bela faca quando partiu.
Yeah it's sad but I think warivo might have put out a better product than Buck at less than half the price...
I bought the reviewed knife. Heres one id 💕 love to see you review and throw. Its the. PAL 2000 18 Inches Knife Rose Wood Handle - Knife With Sheath - Ideal for Camping, Outdoor, Bushcraft Knife - Knife Hunter - Knives for Men - 3136
It looks like the knife Billy had in the Predator movie. Its on Amazon cheap. Looks good in the pictures and good star rating.
Big knives like these can be challenging to sharpen. Do you have any videos how to sharpen big knives like these?
I sure don’t have any sharpening videos with the exception of the sharp and spark review
My beater is the Cold Steel Bowie machete…
Nicely done . Those videos with guys pounding knives through logs and crittaciseing them for breaking make me think that they are inexperienced backyard woodsman types who somehow dont own an ax
Just burn the log into pieces
Been waiting for the right Warivo...think this is it!!..Thanks brother, as always great video!
My pleasure!!
Id prefer the thinner handle myself, and it leaves room for grip tape if needed. I wouldnt use it to skin, I prefer a smaller blade, these are good for separating the limbs of the game, doing the heavy work, cutting the meat, for me cool knife to just have, although id enlarge that finger choil and reduce the sharp point.
Where is it made?
I distrust a company when you look and can't find where they are based and where the products are made?
I’m the same way. I can only speculate as to where it is made. I can’t help but think Pakistan.
Nice video as always. My buddy has a Frontiersman and it's a very nice knife. A bit too large for me. I'm sticking with the Buck Special and the Gordon copy of it.
I’ll go with Buck , won’t take a chance if not knowing country of origin. If it’s made in Pakistan I wouldn’t take it for free.May sound picky but old school I am
$45 is sure easier than $185, but wonder about the steel and edge retention. Your knife going dull while skinning a large animal is a real pain. Would like to see an edge retention comparison. Nice looking blade though, thanks for the video.
Buck has very special heat treatment from what I gather.
I like this knife a lot.
It goes for $100 where I'm at.
Still a fair deal? Or pass?
I think this is a great budget version of the original original Buck 124 definitely worth the money.
I just pulled the trigger on this knife.
Thanks for the video.
Looking forward to trying it out.
Thank you!
I want 1 of each ❤
I like it good beater knife
Very nice and very good price
There's some really decent knock off knives out there. Even some really decent Chinese knives like Eafengrow. I didn't buy my Buck knives to save money. I bought them because they will someday be a piece of American history. If I were buying a knife to beat on? The knock offs and Chinese one's do just fine. To each their own.
Hoffner knifes ever seen his stuff see it on optic planet.
pretty cool bud thanx
Where is the warivo one made? please respond? thanks
I think Warivo knives are Pakistani even though they say made in the USA.
Is the 124 now discontinued?
I’ve been able to find it on Amazon. It could be sold privately though I thought I saw it for sale on Bucks website.
Buck 120 is the way to go but that’s from a big game hunter
Good honest review, Thanks. I dont have it yet but you know I will. I think Buck Knives better take notice. Just like the Gordon Bowie from harbor freight is more affordable than the 119 with equal quality. This is another example of if an American company wants my buisness than price reasonably. The economy is too bad to be pricing so high. Not when there are solid alternatives. If you make it down too some of the North Georgia spring festivals there are some really good blade smiths that will be setting up there wares. Shoot me a message if you want and I'll show you around. Thanks for the review!
When you consider that American workers want $50 a hour and a 30 hour work week but still paid for 40 plus hours union's pushing for paid vacation/sick time/ paid maternity leave for both parents (even tho Men can't get pregnant)
Business here pays a higher tax to do business here (hence why so many jobs are now offshore)
You end up with a $200 knife that realistically should cost slightly under $100. 😐 You end up with higher cost passed on.... No business is going to eat all that expense.
And I promise that the Gordon (buck knockoff) is not built to the same quality and you can tell by the handle (that I'm guessing) is not a full width full tang but probably "rat tail" style tang
🤣 ruclips.net/video/lFoOfCNZ65k/видео.htmlsi=z8EvmaBsVbhkXg0W well it is NOT even close to a Buck knife
@@stephenbarabas6286 I've got both and the Gordons built better. No gaps around the ricaso like the buck, it holds an edge better and its better balanced for throwing. Im not gonna argue with you I very much respect your right to your opinion. Thats all my comment was. Just an opinion. 🗡
@@danielanthony9621 I'm sure the people in pakairaqisudanastan appreciate your money....
My Buck 124 will be on my belt as soon as they open up jurassic park to hunters .
Haha 💯
Enjoy my Buck 124
Clones and similar appearing copies are taking over the budget market on much more than just knives and multi tools . Hollywood can’t make great original movies and pump out sequels or continue multi-part episodes of successful past shows. Cars or SUV’s all look the same. Finally, you cannot travel across America and find uniqueness in food or culture anymore the same chain restaurants, hotels and coffee houses dot the landscape. Innovation is dead, even RUclips reviews are similar, not much seems fresh and unique although Daniel does a good job.
Much appreciated my friend!
I love Buck…. but, it needs to be said that the 124 Frontiersman is junk. It’s hollow ground and made from a soft steel. Even with bucks perfect heat treat it has a tendency to roll the edge, chip, dull very fast. I went through three of them trying to give them a chance and they get tore up on basic camp tasks that do not include batoning.
Interesting info appreciate you sharing
The context of this video left me scratching my head. Was this video a review, comparison, past video mistakes, intended use?
More of a showcase. I get tired of the typical RUclips knife review. It’s D2 steel. It’s very sharp and it’s a big look full tang like for the Buck 124. Mild testing but mostly a showcase. I’m glad it was original at least lol
Would be nice if you could find where they are made.. they are "shipped " from the US. But they appear to be made in Nepal or Pakistan NOT the U.S.A. where is the actual FACTORY. That info is elusive.
Yeah probably Pakistan. Just not 100% sure
I own two of the real thing.
The Buck is a much nicer knife just look at the build quality. No comparison
The Buck is much higher quality
Guess who, hehe
a "skinning blade" ? really ? i would hardly describe that knife as a skinner ! of course, one can skin with any blade profile but that knife is NOT a skinner profile
Supposedly for very large game
That knife comes out when I eat steak, thanks for the review
Big Buck fan. Don't like a rip off. Why doesn't Warivo just make a good designed bowie of their own design?
They’ve got so many but every now and then they like to do something similar kind of like what they did with the beck tracker
👍👍👍.🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
I never understood that you spend 200 on a knife and are scared it gets scratched and what not then don’t spend 200 it’s a tool
Yeah, it’s supposed to be a tool but so often things become a novelty instead. It prob just comes down to a man’s wallet. The one who can afford high dollar stuff on a regular wouldn’t mind using a 200 blade as a tool
@@411Outdoors yeah most of the guys I work with when we go hunting they say you don’t mine it gets a chip from a bone or some I say no cause that’s its purpose a hunting knife you can’t baby it if your going to use it but I understand not everyone can just spend 200
buck knives sucks. their fixed blades are good quality the buck 110 is a classic but they suck. 100 years of making knives and i like maybe three of them total. i like tom mayo as a knife designer, that was a good choice but they just turn out junk. even if they started turning out a good product somehow i wouldn’t like them because i’ve applied there a half dozen times realizing that the don’t pay as much as mcdonald’s would but i only lived a half a mile from them and i consider myself to be a wealth of knowledge when it comes to knives and i would enjoy the experience of working for them and they were pretty rude about not hiring me to the point where it’s difficult to not be rude in return. the only good knives they made were ones that were designed a hundred years ago and passed down to them and in this day and age there is nothing special about those knives anymore so i’m glad someone else is making a more affordable option.
I have mixed feelings about buck overtime. I’m a big fan of the 119, 120 and 124 but that’s about it.
I started collecting the Buck 100 series sheath knives back in the 80's and I still have them. Put them through a lot of hard use, and they never once failed me. Of course back then, one did not chop and split wood with a knife. In in 2022-23 I finished the collection, with the Buck 124 being the final one. I Like Buck knives. They have always done what I needed a knife to do. Sounds like your just mad at the company because they will not hire you.
@@longrider42 you’re not wrong and there’s no accounting for taste which is fully subjective but along with that i am welcome to my own preference and opinions. the buck 100 series (the whole series) was created before this generation of knives and the designs have been handed down to them and there’s not a single original design since the 1980’s that i personally would own because i think they are total garbage. like for instance look at any of their liner lock knives and you will see what i mean, it’s a basic design which is difficult to mess up and not a single one of them has a good detente to the point that they have a limp deployment…. in this day and age they don’t stand up and the only good designs that function properly are their older designs which are pricey but also are not unique. when you look at the knockoff in the video made in china it is an improvement over the original design which they have been making for a hundred years and one quarter of the price so i stand by what i said, buck knives suck. what they did right in the past is they chose the softest blade steel (420) and the put it on this thinnest geometry and people raved about their heat treatment but really that doesn’t have anything to do with it and their heat treatment isn’t great anymore and none of their modern designs use their older conventional knowledge which was and still is a bit ahead of its time. it’s like they were great until they weren’t and i feel like they’ve lost their way a long time ago. their only popular modern designs were designed by tom mayo and they have a lot of good going on but they aren’t even capable of making a quality version. and then their only ditch effort is to try to make military knives because they are all “made in america” but they aren’t good designs. people like their classic designs like the 110 because it’s a great skinning knife for hunters, soft steel thin geometry full handle which is great for skinning but there are still better options and cheaper options so there really is nothing special about them. northern idaho is beautiful though and i think anyone from california should move there asap (only jk the racists will kill you and the police will run you out of town). if there’s one takeaway from the original buck knives i would like to see more of is their hollow grinds, not many companies do hollow grinds because of the machining costs which is why they used softer steel which actually works better on a thin geometry and the rest of the world has yet to catch up. case knives also uses 420 and they run it softer and it’s on a thinner geometry and there’s more production value behind their designs like the stockman but they don’t really do fixed blades…. and i am mad that they wouldn’t hire me, i’m a hard worker i’m intelligent and i would do it for fun and bring experience with me and they were very rude which definitely helped me come to my final conclusion that they suck. and their newer logo with the anvil looks absolutely terrible
I agree. I always stop when I see a knife case display. I've never been impressed with Buck. My father passed last year and I inherited a whole box of various knives. I give them away to whoever wants them. Half are Buck. To me they are basically junk.
He only had 2 Cold Steel. Those I'm keeping.
I know people love Buck but, in reality, its overpriced mediocre steel. A reasonably priced knife that would outperform the Buck or the copy would be the Cold Steel Leather neck or leather neck tanto.
Lol poors
I like a few Buck models. I like the one 19 the 120 in the 124, but I wish the handles for more grippy.
@@411Outdoors for the 119 and 120, gotta go traditional jutte or friction tape.
The 124 is no big deal, take the shine off the micarta with some steel wool, then when the blood hits it, everything will get nice and sticky.
@@alfonsedente9679 why overpay for the same thing?
@@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904 because they are different. Balance, weight, blade length, grip length, steel type, hardness, etc.

Nope, i will take the buck

Too heavy. Buy cheap knives at dollar stores. Must be sharpened more often, but so what. Much more work with a cheaper and lighter knife.
Definitely for those delicate task
As to me ugly knife, and almost unuseful for serious task: not a skinner, not a fighter, not a caper, batoning is not needed, so what kinda knife could be for? But it's only my opinion. If you like buy and enjoy.
I resonate with what you’re saying I think it’s a novelty the end of the day
Hello 👋 Bro can I ask you did you have or test it so far the urban pal from cold steel ?
I have not yet my friend
@@411Outdoors thanks man 👍
I just got this knife today after watching this video a while back. This knife doesn’t even compare to a Buck knife. 🔪 The one I have is bent,edge is completely destroyed.the spine was ground with an angle grinder,it has gaps everywhere,the clip point is so small it’s barely visible. It was a stamped piece of steel that was ground into what looks like a knife. Do I feel like I got ripped off? Not really because I didn’t make it or market it. However it looks nothing like the pictures. This is why I stress buying American 🇺🇸 products. I have a Buck 119 special and it is light years ahead in quality. I stabbed through a steel door with it and it did no damage to the blade. The edge is so sharp it’s dangerous. I have an $85 cold steel code 4 tanto and it’s the same quality as the Buck. #coldsteelknives Code 4 Cold Steel folder

I believe these WARIVO blades are inconsistent in their batch. I’ve been making this known to the manufacturer. American is always better
