Buck 119 Special - A Popular Classic Lives On Today

The Buck 119 Special has an interesting history and is a great knife to use today. Classic styling and a robust design make this a belt knife worth adding to your collection or to take out to the woods and use. For hunting and camping it is a standard in knife design. Few fixed blade knives remain popular for so long and there are reasons that the 119 lives on.

I have one from 1974.
Got it from a co-worker that damaged the tip that I repaired.
Has the old style holster style sheath which I really prefer.
Took many years to get the edge to a razor edge slim bevel.
Handle has beat marks all over it.
It just works!

Everyone can afford a Buck. I have had a 105 for many years. Thanks for your description of the 119 and its history, very interesting. Glad that you bought this one.

No they have not gone to Polymer. You get the exact same sheet if you buy a new 1 today. And it's awesome

Love the Buck 119 and 120 as well as the 110. Such classics. If you want to search up a Buck 639 on the used market, you will be delighted if you can find one. They are a bit hard to find but they are excellent knives. They are a smaller version of the Buckmaster and much more down to earth. I have had one for about 30 years and will never part with it. The sheath that they come with is not the best, but the knife is fantastic for a true survival workhorse. By the way I bought another 119 yesterday and the sheath is still leather just like the one in your video.
