Buck 119 Special Knife

Since 1942, the 119 Special has become one of the most relied-upon knives by hunters and outdoorsmen. This fixed-blade hunting knife has a large, hand-sharpened clip blade, which allows for control at the tip with a larger cutting surface at the belly of the blade. The aluminum guard at the base of the blade provides protection for your hand. The handle is built to withstand years of tough work. The knife is finished with an aluminum pommel for a classic look. Includes a black, genuine leather sheath for convenient carry on your belt or in a pack. Made in the USA (Imported sheath).

• 420HC STEEL: This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.
• CLIP: The crescent tip makes the blade thinner with a sharper point. This shape provides good control for detail work and cutting in tight places. It is also well suited for intentional punctures like new holes in your belt, etc. While the point of the blade is effective for detail work, it's not as strong as the thicker points on drop points and skinners.
