Thank you for your service good sir and your story of losing your 119 reminds me of how I lost my 119. Failed sheath due to the snaps wore and went off from years of use. It fell out while I was hiking in the forest and that pretty much was like losing my best friend. Got another 119 among countless other knives to fill that void but at the end of the day the 119 was my knife and I now know to get a new sheath if I encounter a similar issue with the worn out leather around the snaps. Hope you're doing well good sir.
What a great story. My uncle was in Vietnam in 1968 also. He took a Buck 119 with him to S. Vietnam, Korea and Germany. He has since past, he gave me that Buck 119 about 35 years ago. I am so honored to have it.
That is one great story brother! I was drafted at about the same time but I lucked out and was sent to Germany. But I had a buck knife also. I did all those things with mine but take it into combat You guys will have my respect till the day I die. "This we'll defend"
Your the boy have a lot of respect for you hoip you are still getting on ok I really enjoyed your story thanks from C samby West Coast to Scotland 🏴
Truly a heartwarming story. Thank you Sir, for serving and thank you to the fantastic Buck company. I love how Buck maintains their God-centered ethic and conveys this in a message in every box. I just bought my 11th Buck knife last night - the classic 119.
This video stands to show that no matter what on TH-cam haters gonna hate, 3 thumbs down seriously to a Vietnam vet losing his knife(The one thing he was adamant about staying with him) and buck stepping up to honor him. Seriously who dislikes a video like that aside from words my parents taught me not to use...
Love the respect for this veteran of the Vietnam welcome home my dad was there in the early 60's and thank you The Buck Kife you gave this warrior. May God Jehovah's, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit grant you peace and good health.
First and foremost thank you sir for your service. I am a patriot, I love my country, I love my freedom, I love my guns and I love my god. Dear buck knives. I had just purchased a buck special 119 about 5 hours ago at my local supermarket and I brought it home and saw the the little peice of paper that talked about the company a bit and talked about its beliefs and values and I got to say that I was very impressed with it and I just want to say that buying that knife was the best investment I ever made and was happy and proud to own an American made knife where quality and christ go hand in hand, I love my knife and you just made me a lifelong customer of buck knives, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you and god bless. Sincerely James B Stanley
I love these Buck 119 Knife stories, I really do. I just bought the 119 Special yesterday at my local Canadian Tire and when I found out Hoyt Buck was a Christian and a Pastor, and the story behind this knife, I just had to go and get one. Hearing Mr. McHugh's story made me want to sleep with my Buck knife under my pillow as well. Keep up the good work and thank you for continuing such a fine legacy of knives. and more 119 knife stories please!!!
Thank you for your service, sir! I'm a Marine Iraq War veteran (2003). This video solidified my choice between buying the 119 and 124 next month ... 119 it is! Thank you for all you do for our country, Buck Knives!
I still have my 119 Special with sheath since 1978 that I bought for $20 from the PX at Maxwell AFB! It went through an attempt at re-profiling by my late uncle. He said that it was too hard to sharpen, and needed a flatter profile. This year I got it back to around the same angle as the factory angle, and it’s sharp as blue blazes! Love it!
Awesome story good Sir, thank you for your service and giving us what we have today. I've always owned Buck knives and love them. This video goes to show just how great the Buck family is!! Thank you Buck for making such great tools
Gary Allen buck knives are the best knife you could ever own I don’t ever leave the house without my buck canoe knife and my buck 110 and no hunting trip is complete without the 119
I met and became friends with Marilyn Buck at summer church camp in 1978. She came with her cousin Marlene, and both girls were very sweet, very kind, and loved the Lord.
Growing up in Iowa it seemed everyone's dad had one of these.Back in the early 80's these were still considered very expensive knives. Dad's always had a little concern about us teens touching the Buck special. They were kind of keepsakes that dads often told their sons they will get it later on in life when they were older and could respect nicer things. I guess today I own many very expensive knives but my Buck 119 I still treat like my dad's . With greater care.
Wow id like to say thank you for your service. As for Buck im a huge fan of your knives my grandad carried one my dad had one and own 5. One was my dads which is your 110 i bought one in highschool when i started camping as for the second one well my granpa unknown to me passed a 103 to him which he passed onto me its a true beauty . Id love to meet one of the buck family members as i am just amazed at craftman ship of your knives!!!
Great story, sir. And thank you, like the gentleman said below, for your service to our country. So many Buck stories in my family and so many good memories with people long gone who started me on Bucks years ago. My grandfather carried one every day on the farm. Gave me my first Buck in the 1960's. My father carried one most of his life. And me and my son's have 119's right now. Can a knife, of all things, bring folks together? Yes. Keep up the good work.
Great story! Thanks for your service. I have owned one of these knives for 15 years and would take it anywhere. Now, what two idiots disliked this video??
What an awesome story. The sentiment behind the knives we carry. My 119 was given to me on my 8th birthday. It was my fathers wedding present from his best man. I can tell you stories behind every wheel gun and knife I own. I even bought a metal detector to find a pocket knife that was lost at a scout camp in the 90's. It was a secondary kept in my grandfathers tackle box from the late 70's until 95.
Sure thank you for your story it was it good read truly Buck has one of the best knives built today and for that matter many years I'm looking for a 119 myself
Great story. I have a Vietnam era vintage Buck General 120 1967 to 1972 Myself , I prefer vintage than the new models . I would have tried to find you a unused vintage 119 and then had the engraving done. Oh well, call me old fashioned 😎
Awsome story. When he said when I got back my knife was gone it broke my heart as well. Can't stand a damn thief. Thank you for posting and thank you sir for service. My hats off to you sir. God bless you and America 🇺🇸
You got a new subscriber. I didn't know this channel existed. I have your entire collection from 101 to 124 and I'm just about to order the 119 Brahma with the leather handles. I already have the 117 Brahma with the leather handle.
I have met quite a few Vietnam veterans that carried Buck knives the 110, 105, 119, and the 120. Then as now, all are good tough knives. Thanks to Buck knives for their kind gesture. But especially thank you sir, for your sacrifice and service to your country.
Buck was probably the first knife I heard about after going into the Air Force, and was the first knife I purchased while in service. My grandfather ended up owning it after seeing it and I had to buy another one, but ended up getting a different model with the longer blade since the exchange had sold all they had in stock of that model. I still have that second Buck I purchased and have it at home now, but don't use it like I use to years ago. I want to get another model 110, and the model 119, but want to get the special edition one from the factory if it's available.
My Dad had a Buck 119 in Vietnam also. He sent me one when I was deployed to Iraq after my K Bar broke. Buck is a great Christian patriotic American company we can depend on. Ive since purchased many Buck knives for hunting and skinning deer but my Buck 119 is one of my most prized positions it was really dependable over there. Thank You Buck knives! 🙏
My Uncle Walt served in Nam (army) my grandpa couldn't join because his brother was already on the Frontline both carried buck knives before and after buck knives is a family tradition with my ken my grandpa died a few years back and I have his buck 110 my dad got me a 119 and I bought myself a 119 with our last name engraved
at 1:06, i opened c rations with it ,i carved sticks with it ,I err(avoids eye contact)it was a personal weapon aswell.. very interesting way of saying I stabbed a lot of people with it. :)
Because of people like you I grew up safe thank you for that
That’s how important a knife can be.
Thank you for your service good sir and your story of losing your 119 reminds me of how I lost my 119. Failed sheath due to the snaps wore and went off from years of use.

Hope you're doing well good sir.
I'm 62. This was my very first knife. It has never let me down.
From hunting to combat, the Buck 119 can do it!!! Thank you for your service.
What a great story. My uncle was in Vietnam in 1968 also. He took a Buck 119 with him to
S. Vietnam, Korea and Germany. He has since past, he gave me that Buck 119 about 35 years ago. I am so honored to have it.
Great story. Thank you for your service, sir. Thank you Buck for taking care of one of our own.
That is one great story brother! I was drafted at about the same time but I lucked out and was sent to Germany. But I had a buck knife also. I did all those things with mine but take it into combat
You guys will have my respect till the day I die. "This we'll defend"
That was a class act move by Buck! What an outstanding gesture of gratitude for our Veteran and to even have it engraved with his grandfather's name.
Your the boy have a lot of respect for you hoip you are still getting on ok I really enjoyed your story thanks from C samby West Coast to Scotland 🏴

Thank you Sir for your testimony and you Service Time.. I agree with you 100%...
Thank you for your service.
Buck will forever be the founding knife company of the USA!
You CANT change my mind
Love the respect for this veteran of the Vietnam welcome home my dad was there in the early 60's and thank you The Buck Kife you gave this warrior. May God Jehovah's, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit grant you peace and good health.
Great story. From a South African that has a number of Buck knives that date back over 30 years.
First and foremost thank you sir for your service. I am a patriot, I love my country, I love my freedom, I love my guns and I love my god.

Passion in the story I have to get a 124
Thank you for your service, sir! I'm a Marine Iraq War veteran (2003). This video solidified my choice between buying the 119 and 124 next month ... 119 it is! Thank you for all you do for our country, Buck Knives!
Welcome home, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Semper Fi
I would’ve chosen the 124 since it’s full tang and has a stronger tip, but the 119 is still a solid choice. Do you still have it?
Welcome home Pat, God bless you and I wish to simply say thank you for your service and sacrifice.
I still have my 119 Special with sheath since 1978 that I bought for $20 from the PX at Maxwell AFB! It went through an attempt at re-profiling by my late uncle.

I can not find the words to express how awesome this is.
I met and became friends with Marilyn Buck at summer church camp in 1978. She came with her cousin Marlene, and both girls were very sweet, very kind, and loved the Lord.
Buck makes world class knives at an affordable price. I've had my 110 for 9 years now and it's basically brand new.
Thank you buck for that very honorable to our veteran God Bless 👍🏻😃
Welcome home! Thank you for your service. God bless you. 🇺🇸

Thanks to Buck knives for their kind gesture.
But especially thank you sir, for your sacrifice and service to your country.
Love It
When I was growing up, you either had a buck knife, or you wanted one...
Buck was probably the first knife I heard about after going into the Air Force, and was the first knife I purchased while in service. My grandfather ended up owning it after seeing it and I had to buy another one, but ended up getting a different model with the longer blade since the exchange had sold all they had in stock of that model. I still have that second Buck I purchased and have it at home now, but don't use it like I use to years ago. I want to get another model 110, and the model 119, but want to get the special edition one from the factory if it's available.
I brought a buck 119 from just listening to this story
My Dad had a Buck 119 in Vietnam also. He sent me one when I was deployed to Iraq after my K Bar broke. Buck is a great Christian patriotic American company we can depend on. Ive since purchased many Buck knives for hunting and skinning deer but my Buck 119 is one of my most prized positions it was really dependable over there. Thank You Buck knives! 🙏
That’s one hell of a story man sad you never found your knife it would’ve been nice to see it from Vietnam to know to see how it looked
legend
My Uncle Walt served in Nam (army) my grandpa couldn't join because his brother was already on the Frontline both carried buck knives before and after buck knives is a family tradition with my ken my grandpa died a few years back and I have his buck 110 my dad got me a 119 and I bought myself a 119 with our last name engraved
Love the bucks and the Kill a bear knife. A K A the K bar
Are we going to get any of these for the 80th Anniversary?
I've seen what it takes to destroy a Buck Knife, and I would absolutely agree that a Buck knife is the best one you can get for the money.
Lovely
at 1:06, i opened c rations with it ,i carved sticks with it ,I err(avoids eye contact)it was a personal weapon aswell.. very interesting way of saying I stabbed a lot of people with it. :)
Nice
What was that pocket knife he pulled out? A 55? I've got one of those 😀
👍 👍
✊🏻🇺🇸
Love this story. Hopefully whoever ended up with the original values it nearly as much. 🫡🇺🇸
That was awesome
