Buck Knives founder’s, Hoyt Buck, first knife was made from a worn-out file blade in 1902. That knife was a fixed blade, and for many years, all Buck knives were fixed blades. Now, over 100 years later, Buck Knives continues to offer a comprehensive line of fixed-blade knives, ideal for field and general tasks. For the outdoorsmen who prefer the absolute solid feel of a fixed blade, Buck’s best selling model 119 Special sets the standard by which the others are measured. Based on this timeless design, Buck now has a 119 Special Pro featuring S35VN stainless steel and green canvas Micarta handles. This combination of materials offers the best grip with Buck’s premium steel to ensure maximum field performance.
