What customers say about "Blade"

Buck Knives 119 Special Fixed Blade Knife with Leather Sheath

This knife holds an edge, and when it does need sharpening it's the easiest blade I've ever sharpened this size. It makes you love this blade.
Out of the box the Buck 119's 420HC BOS steel blade will shave your hairs, it comes razor sharp and well finished.
I am not a knife expert, but this blade feels so balanced and the finish quality is out of this world.
The blade is super sharp out of the box and it has excellent balance. Nice all around knife.
As it is though, the 119 is a handy size with its 6" blade and shorter and narrower handle.

Buck Knives 120 General (0120BRS-B) 5160 BOS Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife W/Sheath

It has given me many good years of service in lots of different circumstances. It does a great job in both gutting and skinning.
Like my other Bucks, I expect it will do the job I bought it for, in this case, fairly heavy duty outdoor use.
The blade is slightly sharper than a standard 120 which is saying something.
This knife is a great value. Nice sheath, blade fits well and it is reinforced.
Seems like a very good steel and great design, it is high carbonn blade so best practice to oil it lightly after use.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Buck Knives 119 Special Fixed Blade Knife with Leather Sheath

I like the weight, although perhaps it is slightly grip-heavy. I've used Buck knives for at least 30 years; the quality is still great.
The weight and balance are on point, the grip fits my hand, and that cutting edge is phenomenal.
Excellent quality, weight and handling and it comes super sharp out of the box.
The weight is just about perfect and the edge on it from the factory is surprisingly good.
This knife holds an edge, and when it does need sharpening it's the easiest blade I've ever sharpened this size.

Buck Knives 120 General (0120BRS-B) 5160 BOS Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife W/Sheath

I have smaller hands, probably medium sized, and I find the handle to fit perfectly.
Beautiful knife, well crafted, perfectly balanced and a work of art.
This was a Christmas present for my husband. He LOVES it! Nice handgrip, feels natural in the hand. Great balance.
Wonderful balance and really light for how big it is, you don't even notice you are wearing it.
It's got good balance and great construction. It's a Buck, it meets Buck's quality, and that's good enough for me.

What customers say about "Features"

Buck Knives 119 Special Fixed Blade Knife with Leather Sheath

Typical flawless Buck knife. The first thing that struck me was the beautiful cocobolo wrap around handle.
Includes a thick leather sheath that secures the knife perfectly.
The sheath is a top quality leather sheath, not some plasticy nylon thing.
Over all this is just a great knife and the leather wrap around sheath is great.
The smooth black Phenolic handle looks nice, but it can get slippery depending on environmental conditions.

Buck Knives 120 General (0120BRS-B) 5160 BOS Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife W/Sheath

This is my EDC knife. Its very beautiful and I show it to everyone.
Nice sheath as well. In 30 something years, Buck has never failed to produce a quality product for me.
I will have this knife for a very long time, very pleased... The sheath is decent.
It really seems like a piece of artwork and is quite stunning. The sheath it comes with pairs very well with the knife.
The Sheath - quality leather and looks like it will last a lifetime as well. Thank you Buck.
