I’m here because of Scream

Me too. Hahahah

And jason voorhees used it in part 8 on the poster

Where did you find that knife

[@CayucosProductions]

@Ana Martinez Wher

[@Mister_Ess]

I have one of these. It's a great knife. I bought it for myself as a condolence present after my father died. I think he would be happy knowing that I bought a traditional, American made, old school knife that would last me all my life.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

These knives are amazing, for sure!

Nahhhh you’re dad is a scream fan.

Im buying one tomorrow who wouldn't want one its the knife from scream

[@anfbiagentwhosaheroforfun6018]

Lmao. I just got mine today. Pretty damn happy. Got that big ole grin like a kid in a candy store with a million dollars xD

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

It is a beautiful knife and well, it’s nice just to look at! Sometimes this knife is only collected and that’s ok - it’s a good one to add to any collection! Thanks for watching!

[@societyisboring]

Both the 120 and 119 have been used for scream

[@imranbecks]

Ghostface made this knife famous.

[@elktitanborn423]

And Jason, as it's in a few of his movie posters from back in the day

[@leastamongyou1111]

Knife was a Classic long before Scream lol

[@elktitanborn423]

@@leastamongyou1111 100% agree

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

It did indeed.

[@ghostface0927]

@@leastamongyou1111 agreed, but people outside a profession or hobby that used it, didnt even know it existed. I only know about its existence due to scream. Scream definitely increases it recognition to the general public

[@kirbycreekmo]

I was pretty sure it didn't get much better than a 119 until I got the 120. The 120 is amazingly agile for its size.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it!

[@dansherman1980]

Glad to here they’re still holding true where it matters. My first buck is the bucklite folding lock back the only one I trust for my wood carving.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

That’s a great one! Thanks for watching!

[@OneGroovySaint]

Just ordered the General tonight. I got the one that has the S35VN steel. I also have the January Buck of the month 119 with the V3 steel. I have had Buck Knifes my whole life and they are my favorite! Great channel you have here! Thanks for the video.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

I haven’t gotten the S35 VN steel one yet. Then again I’m a huge fan of the 420HC lol

[@buffshaggy9121]

Just bought mine, can't wait for it to arrive! Yes, I'm a huge Scream fan. I thought of trying to figure out someway for Matthew Lillard to sign the knife. (I've met him before and we're close enough that I could ask him)

[@cloud9auro]

Can you do a review and or send a link if you have any other social media and, that's so cool, would you mind asking him for me to ha

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it! Also, that would be cool!

[@UberHaxorKimHD]

I'm trying to imagine how a meetup would go if you took the knife out haha. I'm imagining some big body guard like coming in and tackling you haha

[@guycalgary7800]

Just a hint , get him to autograph a piece of leather to be used in a sheath. The leather smith can trace the signature into the leather .

[@prdarkfirecaro5583]

1989? Damn! It still looks brand new!

[@Orangetoastsss]

It’s most likely way better than the new ones

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

I sure did take care of it! Thanks for watching!

[@no_handle_required]

The 119 is better for scalping, but for decent dispatching of human prey, the 120 has more opportunity.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

It’s an amazing knife!

[@elmerkilred159]

I got my 120x with the same sheath in the military exchange when I was in the army. I carried mine in to a couple deployments. It's a great military scout knife. If I had to chose any other Buck knife, it would be the the stepped up version of the 120 with the textured handle. That's my only hang up with the knife is the smooth handle. They've been making the 120 since WWII. You can use this to debone, and completely butcher a carcass in the field without having to need any other knife. (I worked as a meat and seafood cutter's apprentice before joining the military). The "Blood Groove," is actually called a, "Fuller." It's to make the blade more rigid and lighter. The 120 is a keeper. It's an American classic. It's up there with the Jim Bowie knife and Texas Toothpick IMO.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

[@jorgefernandez6407]

GREAT review! That 120 was my first big blade too! Got it in 78 when I was 19. I don't know what happened to but I just picked up another. Now I've had the 119 for years with no complaints AND, just picked up the 893 GCK but, that 120 filled the niche!!! Now, on to the 110... Again, great video and, I felt "compelled" to subscribe too!!! :)

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

That groove is actually there to help with rigidity the bevel surprisingly helps

[@JoeFramo-uw9fp]

I like the 120 better too you're absolutely 100% right❤

[@telesniper2]

I like the longer blade because when the animal is attacking you, you really wanna be sure to ensure as much shock and damage to an internal organ as quickly as possible, before the animal can hurt you.

[@MultiRedneck66]

I had no idea about the year chart! Found out my 119 is a 2003 model now! I find that little fact interesting

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

Glad I could point that out! Thanks for watching!

A blessed company indeed! Sharing John 3:16 and their story as well is awesome! I also like how the new owner of their knives is welcomed into the family! That’s really cool! That being said, I always use an axe, I have an over the top Tops Vi Axe for that, for splitting wood 🪵 That axe is such a beast! It even has a spike on it for prying!

[@Ghostface-1996]

Hi! Amazing video by the way. I have a question. So I have a Buck 119 and I was going to take it back and get the 120, but i was wondering which one is better the 119 or 120?

[@PlanktoniusRex]

The 'better' one is the one that is the length you prefer. They are virtually identical but for length and price.

[@1joshjosh1]

I replaced my 120 sheath with the modern 1 but obviously I kept the old 1 that it came with. It's just a better sheath and I don't risk stabbing through it. Plastic insert to thank.

[@javodey]

What's your favorite scary movie?

[@fishmojo865]

What angle is the grind for re-sharpening?

[@chickenman7801]

First 120 is almost as big as the Bowie 7 1/12 but the handle looks more comfy. How is the feel of it? I've had Buck folders and they feel great in the hands.

[@anfbiagentwhosaheroforfun6018]

I just got mine. But as far as I can say, it handles amazingly in my big ole hands

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

The handle on the 120 General is great. It’s the same one that is on the 119 Special. It is even more comfortable than the Buck 110 Folding Hunter.

[@tuddle7174]

I’ve had this knife for years. Along with the 119 and never knew it was the scream knife.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

It's a very popular knife!

[@elktitanborn423]

Mine also looks brand new, my grandfather gave it too me. I was born 1994. Had it since I was a small child. And a blood grove has soooo much speculation on it. Some even say it's there to help pull the blade out when stabbed into something

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it! What a gift from your grandfather!

[@rickmcintosh1771]

Nonsense.

Dang no wonder why they use this knife because it's so effective because of the tip

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

That tip does some great fine work. Just gotta be careful with it and use it for what it’s made for - a knife! Lol

[@classicbladereview1886]

At this point all of my Buck's are folding knives, thinking about picking up my first fixed blade and I'm thinking that might be the 119 or 120.

[@basedostrich]

120 all the way bro. My buddy has a 119 and it just doesn't compare, it doesn't feel as raw and visceral. The 120 is just so satisfying just holding onto

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

They both are awesome. Maybe check out the 124 Frontiersman as well!

[@geemeff]

Let's face it bud, we all carry that bad boy cause it's the ultimate big, F-off, shiny kid on the block. At least I know that it sure solved an argument like nothing, the one time I had to pull it out.

[@suchacap22003]

is it better then a bayonet m9

[@ricev7071]

What oil do you use for your leather sheaths those sheaths look really good to be old like that. Buck is my favorite knife right alongside Kabar. Getting a 119 made with the same black phenolic handle but with S30V steel. I want to keep it traditional like the ones I remember growing up. Buck Knives is a Christian company and I like that. They are really awesome knives and I would not baton wood with mine unless I absolutely had to, I can watch other people beat up their Buck knives on youtube to know that it can. Buck knives have a hollow grind, so get a full flat grind if you want to beat it up on wood. I honestly think it's stupid to just rely on one knife to do everything, it could break if you're out in the woods out in the middle of nowhere only to find that you are surrounded by hardwood trees. I live in Canada so there's a lot of pine and fir trees which are softwoods but the bigger trees are the Maple and oak and I won't touch those unless it's deadfall, and with an ax.

[@bushcraftdevotions5851]

All good points. I actually just use neatsfoot or mink oils are the best. Thanks for watching!

[@DalesBadBug]

bucks are Ridiculously sharp knives. I Use my 119 to cut frozen steak lol. it cuts through like warm butter. My brother went and bought one himself that night I showed him how they cut.
