Buck Special Cocobolo Model 0119BRS-B

[@kentonhammond8938]

I have this very knife,... one of my all time favorites !!! My first Buck was a 110 folding hunter I bought in 1971. The folding 110 changed the knife world. I'm on #2, gonna send in first one to Buck, not much blade left, but has so much sentimental value, was on my belt everyday for 20 years. Second 110 is on my belt now. When I hit the woods, this is the one on my belt, & the #55 Baby Buck is my pocket knife, never leave home without it. Love my Bucks !

[@harlemglobetrotter1]

This thing is the most beautiful knife I have ever laid my sleep-ridden eyes on. Swings, cuts, and skins like a dream. If you don't mind spending a little more money get this rather than the normal edition, this one is a lot prettier.

[@starlessgolightly]

They are are Beautiful... But you speak true...

[@BOBarkerR6V2]

Just bought this exact knife and am not dissatisfied. Excellent, classic knife.

[@skillmaster2255]

Buck 119--where beauty and utility come together in one.

[@rogerlawson4516]

My Buck 119 was made in 1971 or 1972. My uncle carried it two tours of duty over seas. Vietnam in 1972 and South Korea a little later. One of my favorites. Now retired in a vault.

[@ernestwalden3894]

The buck 119 would've been the best knives made if they would've added a sharpening stone attached to the sheath. They are truly American classics. Every American outdoorsman should own one of these. I carry one with the 110 folder right behind the 119. That's how important knives are out in the woods. If I'm in town I have just the 110. Yours with wooden handle is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing and God bless 🇺🇸

[@Fretfeeler]

I think this is the best 'production' leather sheath I've ever seen. Too many sheaths nowadays just suck!

[@vitalguillin9229]

Very nice looking sheath, and so the leather quality...Classic and good medium all round knife...

[@cmmolthr]

I own both this model and the 119 with a black phenolic handle. you're right, that leather smell is *strong*, but delightful

[@nobodyhome7334]

MAGNIFICENT !!! KNIFE I BOUGHT MY SON THE COCOBOLO " SKINNER " ONE YEAR . HE'S HAD IT IN USE FOR THERTY YEARS .

[@semco72057]

I love Buck knives and have three models of their knives and they are wonderful. The model 119 was the last one purchased last month with my name on the blade from their store. I got that knife since the first 119 was given to my grandfather not long after buying it decades ago.

[@outbackeddie]

I just bought this knife with the same gorgeous handle. I'm almost afraid to take it camping this summer because it looks like it belongs in a presentation case. And you are right - it is a good looking sheath. In fact, its the best I have seen.

[@lilkynan]

Got it - love it - and got a scribe sig from Chuck Buck the III on it - what a great memory from the factory!!!!

[@VCmonte2001]

i have one of these there indestructable iv'e had it for 10 years used it for fishin huntin and general use buck still stands for quality when they where founded til now they still make amazing knives!

[@chrisbrand6688]

this is one of my favorite knives of all time... its even worthy competition for modern knives.

[@NicholasAarons]

Beautiful Knife I've just bought one and it is Stunning as all Buck Knifes are. It's Razor Sharp out of the Box and has a Beautiful Leather Sheath. Great Video Bob as always. Keep up the great work. 😃 N.

[@johnvest8872]

Buck has an excellent warranty .these are by what I have experienced, honest to goodness great people .

[@sheldonman14]

This knife was used in the Scream movies.

[@TimothyRyanFisher]

I love this knife and with the leather sheath it is something special.

[@TimothyRyanFisher]

This is one of the thickest knives I own up there with a Becker BK2. This is a monster for the price.

[@paulie4x1]

Hi Bib, I started off with a Buck Knife, my first one was a Caping Knife but I used it as my hunting knife, just the other day I bought the phenolic handle model 119 special, by its marking the arrow faces up and it was made in 2008 but in near perfect condition other than if you look close it was probably used at the shop to see how sharp it was very, very slight marks, but near perfect condition, I was impressed on the reviews about the knife, buy the way the black phenolic handle knife is 7.5 oz. But after seeing your video with this beautiful looking knife in Cocobolo I think I want one. Thanx for reviewing this knife.

[@knivestown]

@EnduringEagle Similar, but this is a more general duty knife while the Kalinga leans more toward hunting. They are both great knives but I think the Kalinga is a little more knife and personally, I prefer it. Nevertheless, if it was a camp knife or all around knife I was looking for and I had the two choices, I would pick the 119.

[@KILLKING110]

I got the buck 110 that's also a very nice blade nearly cut myself when I first opened it but I quickly figured out how to fold back up

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Lovely... just lovely. Absolutely lovely.

[@heymynameistyler]

i almost bought this knife but it was alittle pricy for me so i got the woodsman.. cant wait to take it hunting!

[@DShiflet01]

That's a gorgeous knife, but I gotta admit...I actually prefer the black and nickel. In fact, with my next paycheck I'm picking one of those up, along with a Buck 110 from their Custom Shop.

[@knivestown]

@Shark0828 I tend to think of those two knives as holding different ground in the knife landscape. When I think of the Buck 119 I think of hunting but when I think of the KaBar I tend to think of tactical and utility. That doesn't mean either knife couldn't stand in for the other, but I don't see them as competing for the same jobs. As for which is "better", they are both high quality knives. I can't se you going wrong with either choice.

[@enjoythewildUSA]

I broke one baton'ing once. I didn't know about the forever warranty. I have a Fallkniven now. It's the best.

[@famasmaster2000]

Just stunning !

[@eviltango]

beautiful! looks like the knife of Mick Dundee

[@billpeart]

Check out Down Under Knives Outback Bowie and the Linder Crocodile Hunter.

[@knivestown]

If it was me I would use a clamp system like Lansky or Blademanster. There is a flat spot near the spine which can be clamped to, and the hone would do great work.

[@silvanigra]

Oh, man, just when I thought I had all the knives I needed!

[@Cheehooo24]

My go to fixed blade knife. I don't hunt though. This is my utilty/survival knife.

[@knivestown]

I guess it depends on your boots, but this is not a knife typically carried that way. Boot knives usually have a slim, straight, dagger type build. Often the sheath has a clip allowing it to be clipped on the inside of a boot. Some people wear folding knives in the boot using the pocket clip. I have never seen anyone wear a knife like this in a boot.

[@ROBOTYPHOON]

Great knife, great review! Buying one from KnivesTown sometime this week!

[@JohnnyPaAg]

She´s a beauty.

[@monj33]

Hey, the 119 loosely fits into the nylon sheath they sell with them. How does that leather sheath hold the blade? i can hear and feel my blade knocking around against the plastic within the nylon.

[@nightwave3782]

It looks like a nice knife for skinning elk

[@papaitobonito]

wow nice. hi from Mexico I love your vids

[@mebell1948]

I use Never-Bull on my Buck 110 and 055 folding knives.

[@thevinnydshow1835]

@Shark0828 are you a fan of lost the show? because both of those knives are used in lost and i was going to ask the same question for that reason

[@fixing_f_ups6131]

I want knives town back...

[@MarioGarcia-ip6qx]

Fabulous. I think I need one. Stat!

[@monj33]

!!!420!!! HIGH, Carbon steel!

[@BilgePump]

monj33; i see what u did there. 🌴hippie.

[@farhad_tulip]

Very good

[@SNAFU111999]

Nice review and knife!

[@CHANST]

How would you sharpen this if it ever needs it?

[@cadlac0594]

If it was legal I would conceal carry that with me all the time

[@iraesependejo]

i bought one a couple of weeks ago, but the brass part has become dull. How can i make it shiny again?

[@Shark0828]

I know this is a little random but what has better quality and what do u like better, KA-BAR usmc or the Buck 119 Special?

[@robertstodola1559]

Ordered one last night

[@EnduringEagle]

One other question. how would you compare this to the kalinga pro?

[@Shark0828]

@TheVinnyDshow No i never watched lost but i might start watching it soon

[@robertwilcken8431]

My fingers closed are 3 1/4" will this handle fit me? Thanks, Bob

[@ShawDAMAN]

@J88Wolf yeah the bear grylls so called 'ultimate knife' is hooey, in my opinion. would never buy one- I'd sooner get this as you say, or a mora for less than half the price, then add a better sheath and a firesteel myself and still come out on top. this is a gorgeous knife, I have the regular buck 119 with the phenolic handle, sadly, it looks very sad next to this (hahaha)

[@windows8blowz]

are their 5160 steel models?

[@cordelmar]

Would this be to heavy for backpacking?

[@recordmanful]

Is it full tang?

[@knivestown]

No, it would be fine for that use.

[@mebell1948]

Oooops, I should have typed Never-Dull. Sorry about that.

[@daviddrummond97]

Not really... I threw mine at at round hay bale, and it sucked... Didn't stick the throw...

[@RippedBiscuit]

A lot of bikers have this knife on them

[@janhussam]

How I can got it in Saudi Arabia

[@BilgePump]

janhussam; Well Johnny we're not to keen on sending you guys anymore knives.

[@jeffcartwright3710]

butiful knife

[@valrup2066]

Anyone know the balance point on this model?

[@cstarsfly]

+Rupert Valentine www.amazon.com/Buck-119BKS-Spec-Hunting-6/dp/B000EHWWJQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458938081&sr=8-1&keywords=buck+119 One of the reviewers took a picture of the balance through Amazon. Picture should answer your question nicely.

[@valrup2066]

+cstarsfly, thanks buddy

[@cstarsfly]

Rupert Valentine no problem

[@ehandkz]

Why would you want to do that?

[@Cheehooo24]

My 119's blade is f-ed up from all the abuse I put it through. But, that's the idea, it survived all the abuse I've put it through :D

[@druisteen2]

nice bowie

[@eyescream5313]

my older brother bought this knife for me on my birthday. years later one of his friends stole it from me. :(

[@bladegirl1831]

Mister Clyd3 Dude that sucks. Should have cut him a good one.

[@ViperOrtonRKO]

wOW Its Beaut

[@MrJsebak]

Who is the brave people who send me this knife tested in a professional way you'll know for sure what is actually working for it, please write the answer ..

[@papaburger]

full tang or not ?

[@maccap7388]

It is, i just got mine in the mail and at the end of the pommel you can see the pin that goes through the tang in the handle.. i dont know why some people on some of these channels are trying to say this knife is not full tang,

[@presterjohn71]

MAC Cap It is not in the proper sense a full tang knife. It is a rats tail knife. When people refer to a full tang knife they are talking about a tang that stays more or less the same size and has scales bolted on to it rather than inserted and pinned.

[@AirSofter241]

presterjohn71 I don't know if it's different for the cocobolo model, but I know a guy who had the regular one and he actually emailed Buck about it and they said it's a rat tail that goes about three quarters down the handle. So basically no, it's not a legitimate full tang.

[@cogitaretoo]

AirSofter241 I don't know who at Buck would've said that. If you do a Google search for "Buck 119 tang," you'll see blow-apart photos of the 119 that show the tang going all the way to the pommel.

[@valrup2066]

+Bob Witt, hey Bob, you sound like u know your knives so where is the balance point on the cocobolo version?? I have the other 119 version and the balance is just behind the guard, thinking about buying this model but fear the balance will be handle heavy as its 3 ounzes heavier than the standard version, let me know if you cam.cheers

[@outlawtrucker42]

The buck 124 beats the 119 hands down

[@sirdingmydong2107]

Who cares? A tactical knife has a whole bunch of bells a whistles to it which is why its "tactical" but he meant it could be used in a survival situation or a " tactical" situation

[@joehinojosa8314]

I Can't afford it ,so I bought a 30 dollar "Elk Ridge" short Bowie,SAME size as Buck 119

[@BushcraftBritannia]

it either is a tactical knife or it isn't. It can't really "function as a tactical knife" as a tactical knife is a style of knife, not a use.

[@unphazed123]

lol 5:15 he said ''jamaica''

[@sharkfin2009]

i would sharpen and not whine

[@knivestown]

Thats not exactly the balance they were after. There are better throwing knives out there than this one.

[@jeffcartwright3710]

no

[@jamesbartholomew523]

Your sound is very tinny and has a nasty hum which is very distracting. Get a good lav mic and your sound will be much better. Good review, although you use the word 'nice' way too much.

[@NealChauhan]

FIRST

[@monj33]

no
