Ghostface had good taste, or, my infatuation with the Buck 119
The Buck 119 is my favorite fixed blade knife.It is the pinnacle of American-made steel and the quality is on par with Kabar or OKC. Every time I pull this knife out I hear the Star Spangled Banner and my palms get sweaty... One time I saw an eagle… That’s how freaking patriotic this blade is…This thing is sharp as the devil with a pronounced piercing clip point tip for precision cuts and skinning game. The factory grind on my blade has an unbelievably balanced secondary bevel and a well-defined point. Although I was wary of the synthetic resin-based phenolic handle material at first, I have grown to appreciate it a bit, though I would grab the “pro” micarta handle version if I could buy it again.Notable features of the blade:-6” of murder (take that Drew Barrymore), w/ 5.5” cutting area-Blade stock is 4.45mm thick (0.175”)-1.25” wide blade w/ a deep primary bevel (nearly 0.75”)-Hollow grind = slicer-Clip point = piercer-Blood groove / fuller on both sides is mostly cosmetic but I dig it-Satin finish, but with a very high polish420HC is a solid, workhorse steel with a bit higher hardness (~57HRC) but not quite as high as today’s premium steels like D2 (HRC 60). This should only make sharpening easier tho it may not hold an edge as long as fancier metal. 420HC is said to have moderate edge retention, but good corrosion resistance (unlike D2)… usually its a trade off so this steel is a good “middle way” or balance point between hardness, durability, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Buck is said to have a special process where they freeze the steel and reheat it again to help improve hardness and edge retention. In fact 420HC is their base model for the 119. The S30V version of the 119 (HRC 60) gets even fancier, but also pricier… another trade off…But hey just note, this is a rat tail tang, meaning the blade stock tapers into the handle, though it does reach the aluminum pommel at the butt. Don’t get me wrong this is probably the highest quality rat tail you could buy hands down. Just don’t baton this guy into wood. I generally think that is a dumb idea.The 4.5” long contoured black phenolic handle is lightweight & comfortable in the hand with a 3.75” gripping area and a diameter of 1”. Balance point is at the index and feels easy to keep where you want it. Although it has a palm feel like cheap industrial plastic, I now appreciate the synthetic material as it easily wicks water and dramatically reduces the weight of the piece in your hand. High polished aluminum guard and pommel glisten radiantly in natural light and serve as both front and rear quillion for added security and control.The plastic-lined welted leather sheath is top dollar. The leather is 2.5mm thick and well-treated. It comes with a strong button snap located on the backside edge so you do not accidentally open it bumping into or walking past things. The sturdy loop on backside is fastened by two rivets for added security and can accommodate belts up to 2.75” wide. There is even a drain hole at the base of the sheath in case rain or moisture gets in there.My only complaint with the 119 is the phenolic handle is not textured and therefore provides little grip in inclement weather, but the same thing would happen anyway with a natural substance like bone… but if you want a solid grip you best get the micarta (“pro”) version.I own many knives and this is my absolute most precious favorite, a collection piece with a blade length that makes EDC a bit challenging at times, for me anyway, as most tasks I encounter do not require a 6" blade. Despite the fact that I do not readily carry this knife, I still cherish it more than my pricier blades cut from fancier steel… The 119 is one of the most iconic American knives ever made and it is no wonder it still has popularity today. This knife carries a legacy behind it. Honor that tradition with your own 119. Treat it precious like me or put it to work and beat it up good.Or just chase Drew Barrymore around the kitchen for a while…

Although I was wary of the synthetic resin-based phenolic handle material at first, I have grown to appreciate it a bit, though I would grab the “pro” micarta handle version if I could buy it again.

Notable features of the blade:
-6” of murder (take that Drew Barrymore), w/ 5.5” cutting area
-Blade stock is 4.45mm thick (0.175”)
-1.25” wide blade w/ a deep primary bevel (nearly 0.75”)
-Hollow grind = slicer
-Clip point = piercer
-Blood groove / fuller on both sides is mostly cosmetic but I dig it
-Satin finish, but with a very high polish
