Knife arrived dull, with an uneven edge. I’ll never buy a another premium grade knife without be able to physically check the edge. I wanted a large “sharp” hunting knife for the upcoming moose season, and what I got was a very attactive dull knife that I can’t get to take an edge. I thought I was safe buying from Buck, but I guess quality is a thing of the past.

What can I say? I am the kind of boy who still wears Levis Jeans, Pendleton Shirts, & Tony Lama Boots. My off duty vehicle is an old Ford pick up truck. Old reliable is sometimes still the best.
Guys with Sig autos still carry back-up revolvers. That little 5 shot .38 won’t jam. I’ve got tactical lights, but keep a battery operated Maglite in the toolbox. How do you recharge a Streamlight in the event of a power outage? I have a Benchmade automatic one handed knife clipped in my right front pocket. However, the Buck 110 sits right alongside my side arm on my gun belt.
Clumsy, big, heavy, two handed folder. But yet, rugged, reliable, and razor sharp. I hang up the gun belt, and stash the Baretta 92 & Benchmade in the gun locker; then walk out in my civilian clothes with my Chief’s Special and my Buck 110 tucked in my waistband.
Besides, unless you’re going into close quarters combat, who really needs to have a one handed knife for opening beef jerkey? The kind of guy who still wears a Members Only jacket & Rayban Aviators. That’s who! And you know who you are. Now shave that moustache Magnum.
The Buck 110 I had as a kid. Got it in the 8th grade. Back in those days, a kid could go to school with a folding pocket knife. It wasn’t that big of a deal. Teachers didn’t freak out. I was always cutting sandwiches for sharing, and slicing apples for the teacher. At that age, I got a real kick out of when the pretty teachers would ask to borrow my knife to open envelopes and packages. The Buck 110 on my hip & a Swiss Army in my back pack followed me all the way through College.
Ah, the 8th grade. 13. Such a magical age. When you first hit puberty and it seemed like the world was just starting to make sense. The year before high school. Your adolescence was just beginning. A time for “first”. Your first slow dance. Your first kiss. And for me, my first hand gun.
I was finally old enough to carry a sidearm on our family camping and hunting trips. This was back in the days when at 8, I was taught to shoot small game with a .22, so by 13, I already knew what I was doing. It was a .38 Smith & Wesson w/ a 4 inch barrel. Stainless steel to hold up to the elements of being outdoors. I thought I was Dirty Harry. It came with a couple of speed loaders, a quick-draw clamshell holster, and a Buck 119, on a Sam Brown belt.
Back then, we didn’t have crack cocaine, gangsta rap, or Oprah. All that I cared about was combing my hair into a duck tale like Fonzie, and “making it” with the ladies like Jack Tripper & Larry Dallas @ The Regal Beagle. The was no UFC. KickBoxing was “The Sport of the Future”. And “Iron” Mike Tyson was still snatching purses from old ladies. America was a great country, in simpler times, and it was an innocent age. We had a cowboy movie actor, who loved jellybeans, for a president. And Iraq was our ally in the Iran-Iraq war.
To this day, I still keep a Buck 119 in my camp gear.

I have put this thing through its paces since I received it. From batoning to chopping down a small tree this blade handled some abuse with only minor damage to the edge.

This is my husband’s favorite hunting knife! He had one for years and years… lost it, and had to have it replaced.

Super tough, razor sharp comes with excellent leather sheath. Very nice looking. This is a knife you will have for decades.
