beautiful, well made knife,
I recently purchased this knife to use on a camping trip. it is a classic design and it is executed flawlessly. the blade comes razor sharp out of the box and should be easy to sharpen because it is 420hc stainless (i haven’t had to sharpen it yet though). I’ve also seen other reviews that did thorough testing of the blade for corrosion resistance, and they rate it as excellent (i haven’t had it long enough to tell personally). the handle is a work of art; the guard and pommel are polished brass, and the handle is cocobolo wood which gives it a warm and classic look. Buck’s attention to detail and workmanship is remarkable, as the brass meets the wood seamlessly so it is very comfortable to hold. it’s a full-tang knife, meaning that the blade goes all the way through the handle and into the pommel, where it is attached with a brass rod (this too is seamlessly polished). it comes with a dark brown leather sheath that is also very well made and looks like it will last a lifetime. the sheath has a belt loop and can be worn comfortably on the hip.
when i was deciding which knife to get, i considered this one, as well as the standard buck 119 (with phenolic handle and aluminum guard and pommel) and the limited edition 119 (with stacked leather handle and aluminum guard/pommel). After handling all three knives in a store, i liked the feel of the wood/brass handle the most. this is the heaviest of the three knives (at 10.5oz, compared to 7.5oz for the phenolic handle and 7.3oz for the stacked leather), and the balance point is about an inch below the guard which makes it sit nicely in the hand (on the other two, the balance point was right at the guard). i personally like the heft of the knife, but i could see it getting tiring after extended use.
overall, i am very happy with the purchase and i highly recommend it to any hunter/camper/knife enthusiast. i’ll try to upload some pictures too, to show all these details.

|Beautiful Special Edition,
This is a realy beautiful knife, maybe too nice to use. The wood handle is gorgeous and the brass really sets it off. The dark brown sheath is a nice touch.

|Excellent Knife Made in the USA,
There is a lot of misinformation out there about whether the Buck 119 Special has a full tang or not. Some reviewers even misstate that it has a partial tang. Oops!! Well there are a lot of great reviews of this knife and I wanted to make sure that anyone interested in it, should buy it without reservation. It DOES have a full tang that extends all the way to the pommel where it is pinned. The pin is ground and polished flush to the pommel to the point where it is almost not noticeable aside for a small seam if your lucky enough to even see it. I hope this helps anyone that is still unsure after searching high and low for confirmation. It is a great knife and tremendous value for the money.
