    Its a classy and nostalgic hunting knife but the hollow grind makes it weak. Wait...Isnt that the same steel as the gerber strongarm has? Cant believe you pulled out the Glock to shoot the handle 😅👍

      I think Bucks are heat treated harder which gives them better edge retention but a little less toughness. Remember a big part of toughness is simply the amount of steel present. Short, stumpy tips are stronger than thin hollow ground ones and thick wide knives are stronger than thin shallow ones.

      Very true.
      This we have seen in many of these tests.
      The knives with the thick chubby tips survive the tips abuse. But can't penetrate the car hood.
      Though same steel the Strongarm has a very thick edge and tip compared to the Buck 119.
      Also.
      The Buck 110 was used by Gene Moe to kill a 750lbs Grizzly(not the biggest, but still bigger than several pit bulls) who attacked him. So it was self defense, not hunting for fun.
      Those tips are excellent for self defense. Not for prying.

    For a knife that's meant to handle lighter use work and processing game, I think it did surprisingly well given the steel they use. I personally would like a flat grind vs a hollow grind to make it stronger, but for its intended uses it doesn't need that.

    Interesting it didn’t break where the blade met the handle but it snapped at the blade itself, I’ve been waiting for a video like this so I can know the limits of this knife and I gotta say it did pretty good for what it is.
    You should try the new Buck 119 with the better steel and see if it does any better. Although I doubt it since it’s not a utility knife and that hollow grind no matter the steel can only handle so much.

    The Buck 119 is an awesome knife fore game or personal defense outdoors. It’s also gorgeous. If you need to cut your way out of a car trunk then get into a vicious sword battle and finally deflect bullets with your knife handle, you might wanna pack something else. Our dads and grandparents packed a hatchet. Picture an axe but with a short handle. Hatchet handles suck at defending against bullets but do better at cutting you out of cars if you have room to swing. Hatchets would score 1000 out of 10 on the wood processing test which is why people bothered taking them into the woods so they didn’t f@CK up their knife tips.

I can't believe all the critters big and small that it's cleaned out and skinner. But I actually had to touch the edge once in while, what a piece of crap! And that stupid black handle with all that use and it hasn't broken on me. I think it might be time to shoot it! Worst of all that dumb high hollow grind and thin edge that seems to glide through bread and dice up all kinds of veggies...ridiculous! Maybe thing was designed in a time when people respected a quality tool and it wasn't a though that it should survive the next nuclear blast and decapitate a zillion zombies

      It's primary design purpose is as a hunting knife, and for such it excells. I like the blade but the handle is block-y for me. When I was younger I was gifted one with a Paracord wrapped handle and I really loved it, the wrap fit good in hand. A little while ago I purchased a new one on sale and the handle didn't feel good in my medium sized hands, so I gifted it.
      I primarily use a Knives Of Alaska Yukon belt knife & a 70's Old Hickory 6" butcher knife for game processing.

I use it for gutting my fish, small game & hopefully my first deer this year on a hunting trip with my uncles. Other than that i use it for general outdoors cutting task, I wouldn't do to much wood work with it, If I want a chopper id probably like the ontario raider bowie if I want a bushcraft knife maybe a mora garberg, but edc I use a Leatherman wave.

Perfectly good for strictly "knife" stuff like butchering a deer and such but seeing how much tougher and capable many knives are, the Buck 119 seems a little limited.

    5:46 the steel is actually quite tough.
    Yes the BK2 might bite deep into the edge. But did you forget how east the tips on the BK9 and BK7 broke? Thre BK2 had its tip break off also on a piece that was stuck in the wood. The Buck 119 and 120 with the 420HC showed to be tougher.
    The Becker's handled the car action really well regarding tip and edge , both were intact after that. But they are known for breakage also. There have been quite a few BK9's break when chopping hard wood.

    Before many years 420HC was so-so Ok,but nowadays if you have to spend some money for low level knife,go to 440C.This steel have two times better characteristics than 420HC.Buck still lays over its old popularity when the steel choise was not so rich like today.

      it’s not just about the steel.
      The treatment makes or breaks a knife.
      The geometry is the biggest factor on how a knife perform.
      The ergos are also pretty important since an uncomfortable knife is an useless knife.
      Just jerking around talking about steel is monkey business.

    I have heard that the handle of the buck’s is made from the same material bowling balls are made of.
    Buck knives to me have always been the high end knives of the junk knives. If you want something you won’t cry about if it breaks or you lose it, then buck for you🤷🏻‍♂️
    That being said, they do use good steel in some of their models at a substantial increase in price of course.

    It's quite traditional knife in US. Men with age may want to collect at least one of Buck series, such as folding knife in their whole life . As I know, Buck is good at heat treatment on knife while quite insists on using 420HC. Yet, I don't know the toughness of 420HC.
    By the way, do you see one man who called Michael J is eager to see the destruction on 3V knife as me?? I am not the only one to push the test....Haha...

      420hc is about as tough as 3v like for like, one of the toughest steels. All depends on heat treat and geometry of a blade though. Bucks heat treat is top notch but the very thin edge makes it a great slicer rather than super tough like the Strongarm.

      ​@@BladesRKing fwiw that clone uses 7cr17 steel (upgraded Chinese version of 440 a steel). Typically gets about 57 HRC and 30% more carbon than the 420hc steel (around 55hrc). However, Buck heat treats their steel up to 58 HRC using cryogenic freezing process. So, it's really pretty much a wash. Buck's HRC is just a tiny bit better. 119 clones are about 1/3 the cost. Buck's older style 440 c steel is a whole other ball game. They often got HRC around 60-61 back in the old days.

      I have broke 4 knives in my life. All of them were Kabar. Two big brothers, a short fighting, and a warthog. Kabar is trash.

    You really ought to think about designing your own knife - even if you’re not into the money it would help pay for all the others you destroy!
