After reviewing descriptions, photos, videos, and write-ups of several MADE IN USA fixed-blade knives, I selected the Buck 119 Special Pro. For my applications it is the right combination of total length, handle length, blade length, blade type, materials, etc. I also value the Micarta handle for its reduced slipperiness.The knife arrived promptly and in good condition. Upon opening I was pleased to see Buck's unusually good packaging. Their box system (overbox, box, interior platform) reminded me of Apple's. To me it says a lot about a company when their packaging is top quality.The knife, itself, arrived in perfect condition. Since I already have two "museum quality" knives that just sit in a drawer, I have vowed to really put this 119 to use in my forest - my intended application. So, I don't have any qualms about getting this knife messy. It is clearly up to the challenge.The hard and sharp 90 degree edges on the back of the blade are perfect for use with a ferro rod.The hilt is large enough to reduce the chance of any accidental cuts. And, it is asymetrical, enabling fine cutting work such as making feather sticks.The grip fits my hand nicely.The weight and balance suit me just fine.The blade alloy is excellent for my intended purposes.The thru-handle tang is what I need for my rough treatment.When it comes to knives, there is no such thing as the one perfect item. This 119 is now my largest knife and is great for the rugged, coarse work I do while maintaining my forest. It is an excellent compliment to my Leatherman multitool blade and my in-pocket Victorinox Classic. Buck offers a range (sizes, functions, etc.) of knives for this exact reason.I am 100% confident that this MADE IN AMERICA knife will do everything I ask of it for as long as I live.

### Product Review: Buck KnifeI've been using my Buck knife for some time now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best tools in my collection. Here's why:**Build Quality**The first thing you'll notice about this Buck knife is its exceptional build quality. The materials used are top-notch, from the high-grade stainless steel blade to the durable handle. It feels sturdy in hand, with a perfect balance that makes it comfortable to use for extended periods.**Sharpness and Edge Retention**Out of the box, the blade is razor-sharp, capable of slicing through various materials with ease. What really impresses me is how well the edge holds up after heavy use. I've used it for everything from outdoor camping tasks to everyday chores, and it stays sharp longer than many other knives I've owned. When it does need sharpening, it’s easy to bring back to its original sharpness.**Design and Ergonomics**The design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The handle fits comfortably in my hand, providing a secure grip even in wet conditions. The knife is well-balanced, making it easy to control for precise cuts. The overall design is sleek and classic, a true testament to Buck's long-standing reputation for craftsmanship.**Versatility**This knife is incredibly versatile. Whether I'm using it for camping, hunting, or just general everyday carry, it performs admirably. The blade is thick and strong enough for heavy-duty tasks but still fine enough for more detailed work. The versatility makes it a great all-around tool that I can rely on in a variety of situations.**Durability**Buck knives are known for their durability, and this one is no exception. Despite being exposed to the elements and put through rigorous use, it shows minimal signs of wear. The blade resists corrosion, and the handle has held up without any cracking or warping.**Value for Money**Given the quality, performance, and durability, this Buck knife offers excellent value for money. It’s a tool that will last for years, making it a smart investment for anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality knife.**Conclusion**Overall, my Buck knife has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a solid, dependable tool that’s built to last, whether for outdoor adventures or daily tasks. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality knife that combines sharpness, durability, and classic design.

No me suelen gustar los cuchillos que no sean de espiga completa o “full tang” (manías mías), pero este cuchillo me gustó por su estética, reputación y calidad que ofrece la marca (ya tengo una navaja Buck 110), buenas reseñas…vamos, que me encapriché en él aunque por el precio que tenía pensaba que sería de peor calidad. Al recibirlo reconozco que me ha sorprendido gratamente, paso a compartir fotos y detalles por si le sirven a alguien.La funda es de cuero auténtico de buena calidad, robusta, está muy bien elaborada y se indica que ha sido fabricada en México, tiene un ojal de buen tamaño para cinturones anchos, yo soy muy detallista y no le he visto el más mínimo desperfecto.El cuchillo es de tamaño contenido, ni muy chico que para eso llevas una navaja, ni un cuchillaco tipo apocalipsis zombie que vaya creando por ahí alarma social. Cuenta con 15,2 cms de hoja medidas desde la guarda y tiene punta en clip, 4,3mm de grosor de hoja medida por la parte más gruesa del lomo, 2,7 cms de pala medida por la zona más ancha, el acero es un 420 HC inoxidable de 54 HRC (dureza) que en principio no es nada del otro mundo…pero está muy bien templado y de fábrica viene muy muy bien afilado, el pomo y la guarda son de “duraluminio” y vienen pulido a espejo, la empuñadura es sintética, se adapta bien a la mano y el color que parece un negro azabache o algo similar, contrasta muy bien con el pulido del pomo y guarda. Todo viene muy bien ajustado y ensamblado.Con respecto al asunto de la espiga, no es ni mejor ni peor, simplemente hay que saber qué herramienta es y para qué la puedes usar:¿Usaría este cuchillo para cortar un asado, un chuletón, como cuchillo auxiliar de caza, trinchar un pollo o un pavo? Sí, sin duda alguna, además es muy bonito.¿Usaría este cuchillo para batonear un tronco de un roble, cortar un pino a machetazos o golpear con el lomo una barra de hierro, una piedra de granito, dar tajadas en una tubería de cobre con el filo? Definitivamente no.Saludos y espero que os sea útil.

Also ehrlich gesagt, ich bin ein Fanboy und trotzdem bin ich enttäuscht. Das Messer ist sehr scharf und alles wie gehabt. (Es ist mein viertes 119 er.) Die Qualitätsanmutung entspricht aber irgendwie nicht so richtig einem 250€ Messer. Die normalen 119 er, welche man über Jahrzehnte hinweg bei Walmart für 50$ kaufen konnte, sehen irgendwie besser aus. (Ich habe 2 von denen im Abstand von 20 Jahren eben dort erworben.) Ich mag pingelig sein, aber es sind zu meist Kleinigkeiten, die penetrant auffallen, wenn man Wert auf Sorgfalt legt. Die Übergänge vom Spiegel der Klinge zum Hohlschliff sind nicht so präzise. Die Spaltmaße am Guard um die Klinge herum könnten schmaler sein. Der Abschlussknauf ist irgendwie schief. Es steckt Handarbeit darin und das erkenne ich an. Das sorgt auch für kleine Unterschiede und Variationen. 420er Stahl ist wahrscheinlich auch leichter zu verarbeiten als S35 er. Und ein Usermesser würde ohnehin schnell seine Makellosigkeit verlieren, aber dennoch ist der deutlich höhere Preis, in meinen Augen nur schwer zu rechtfertigen.

Es mi primer producto Buck. Debo expresar que es una obra maestra. La calidad de materiales y de su construcción es suprema. A decir verdad es el mejor cuchillo en cuanto a filo de fábrica que tengo. Y eso que tengo varios de prestigiosas marcas como SOG y KA BAR. La calidad es semejante a los mejores productos SOG pero el afilado de fábrica es superior. Un grandioso cuchillo. 100% recomendado.

Excellent knife! Bucks 420hc steel is on a whole nother level. If i could improve one thing it would be having a removable handle.This knife is full tang and comes fairly sharp some require sharpening i have 2.. blade is strong and able to baton some fairly large pieces.The sheath isnt kydex but its an old school leather which is nice looking and does its job at retaining the blade.Handle is fairly ergonomic and feels nice in the hands
