I have one of these. It's a great knife. I bought it for myself as a condolence present after my father died. I think he would be happy knowing that I bought a traditional, American made, old school knife that would last me all my life.
It is a beautiful knife and well, it’s nice just to look at! Sometimes this knife is only collected and that’s ok - it’s a good one to add to any collection! Thanks for watching!
Just bought mine, can't wait for it to arrive! Yes, I'm a huge Scream fan. I thought of trying to figure out someway for Matthew Lillard to sign the knife. (I've met him before and we're close enough that I could ask him)
@@leastamongyou1111 agreed, but people outside a profession or hobby that used it, didnt even know it existed. I only know about its existence due to scream. Scream definitely increases it recognition to the general public
I got my 120x with the same sheath in the military exchange when I was in the army. I carried mine in to a couple deployments. It's a great military scout knife. If I had to chose any other Buck knife, it would be the the stepped up version of the 120 with the textured handle. That's my only hang up with the knife is the smooth handle. They've been making the 120 since WWII. You can use this to debone, and completely butcher a carcass in the field without having to need any other knife. (I worked as a meat and seafood cutter's apprentice before joining the military). The "Blood Groove," is actually called a, "Fuller." It's to make the blade more rigid and lighter. The 120 is a keeper. It's an American classic. It's up there with the Jim Bowie knife and Texas Toothpick IMO.
Just ordered the General tonight. I got the one that has the S35VN steel. I also have the January Buck of the month 119 with the V3 steel. I have had Buck Knifes my whole life and they are my favorite! Great channel you have here! Thanks for the video.
First 120 is almost as big as the Bowie 7 1/12 but the handle looks more comfy. How is the feel of it? I've had Buck folders and they feel great in the hands.
GREAT review! That 120 was my first big blade too! Got it in 78 when I was 19. I don't know what happened to but I just picked up another. Now I've had the 119 for years with no complaints AND, just picked up the 893 GCK but, that 120 filled the niche!!! Now, on to the 110... Again, great video and, I felt "compelled" to subscribe too!!! :)
Hi! Amazing video by the way. I have a question. So I have a Buck 119 and I was going to take it back and get the 120, but i was wondering which one is better the 119 or 120?
A blessed company indeed! Sharing John 3:16 and their story as well is awesome! I also like how the new owner of their knives is welcomed into the family! That’s really cool! That being said, I always use an axe, I have an over the top Tops Vi Axe for that, for splitting wood 🪵 That axe is such a beast! It even has a spike on it for prying! Yes, that 120 General is beautiful! My parents had bucks. Now it’s my turn!
I like the longer blade because when the animal is attacking you, you really wanna be sure to ensure as much shock and damage to an internal organ as quickly as possible, before the animal can hurt you.
How good is it actually for bushcraft? I know buck typically makes hunting knives, but if I don't intend on hunting, then would it still be worth it for the style of the knife? I just wouldn't want to break or otherwise damage it.
I replaced my 120 sheath with the modern 1 but obviously I kept the old 1 that it came with. It's just a better sheath and I don't risk stabbing through it. Plastic insert to thank.
What oil do you use for your leather sheaths those sheaths look really good to be old like that. Buck is my favorite knife right alongside Kabar. Getting a 119 made with the same black phenolic handle but with S30V steel. I want to keep it traditional like the ones I remember growing up. Buck Knives is a Christian company and I like that. They are really awesome knives and I would not baton wood with mine unless I absolutely had to, I can watch other people beat up their Buck knives on youtube to know that it can. Buck knives have a hollow grind, so get a full flat grind if you want to beat it up on wood. I honestly think it's stupid to just rely on one knife to do everything, it could break if you're out in the woods out in the middle of nowhere only to find that you are surrounded by hardwood trees. I live in Canada so there's a lot of pine and fir trees which are softwoods but the bigger trees are the Maple and oak and I won't touch those unless it's deadfall, and with an ax.
120 all the way bro. My buddy has a 119 and it just doesn't compare, it doesn't feel as raw and visceral. The 120 is just so satisfying just holding onto
Let's face it bud, we all carry that bad boy cause it's the ultimate big, F-off, shiny kid on the block. At least I know that it sure solved an argument like nothing, the one time I had to pull it out.
do you know how often buck made change to is knife specially the 120 ? i have a old 1997 model and im curious to know if there is any change from the 1995 model
Mine also looks brand new, my grandfather gave it too me. I was born 1994. Had it since I was a small child. And a blood grove has soooo much speculation on it. Some even say it's there to help pull the blade out when stabbed into something
One thing you didn't mention but I noticed in having both; the handle on the 120 is thinner than that on the 119. Look at the pommel (end cap) and it becomes quite obvious. Pick both of them up and you can feel the difference.
bucks are Ridiculously sharp knives. I Use my 119 to cut frozen steak lol. it cuts through like warm butter. My brother went and bought one himself that night I showed him how they cut.
I like the fact that the Buck family are Christian and that speaks in the quality of their knives which are tools, not weapons. And Scream is stupid, made absolutely no sense, and don't care for it. I bought this knife because I never bought a 120 before and it reminds me of a Ka-Bar.
Yeah! And all the military forces in the world use Buck knives! Actually a Buck knife is a cheap piece of crap. Try throwing one and watch it break in half.
I have used them for years. They have always been very reliable. They also have the forever warranty. For throwing - I would use a throwing knife! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

I’m here because of Scream
Me too. Hahahah
Same😂
And jason voorhees used it in part 8 on the poster
Where did you find that knife
@Ana Martinez Wher
I have one of these. It's a great knife. I bought it for myself as a condolence present after my father died. I think he would be happy knowing that I bought a traditional, American made, old school knife that would last me all my life.
These knives are amazing, for sure!
Nahhhh you’re dad is a scream fan.
@@Nutsack-oi4kg his dad's billy loomis 💀💀
I was pretty sure it didn't get much better than a 119 until I got the 120. The 120 is amazingly agile for its size.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it!
Im buying one tomorrow who wouldn't want one its the knife from scream
Lmao. I just got mine today. Pretty damn happy. Got that big ole grin like a kid in a candy store with a million dollars xD
It is a beautiful knife and well, it’s nice just to look at! Sometimes this knife is only collected and that’s ok - it’s a good one to add to any collection! Thanks for watching!
Both the 120 and 119 have been used for scream
Glad to here they’re still holding true where it matters. My first buck is the bucklite folding lock back the only one I trust for my wood carving.
That’s a great one! Thanks for watching!
Just bought mine, can't wait for it to arrive! Yes, I'm a huge Scream fan. I thought of trying to figure out someway for Matthew Lillard to sign the knife. (I've met him before and we're close enough that I could ask him)
Can you do a review and or send a link if you have any other social media and, that's so cool, would you mind asking him for me to ha
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it! Also, that would be cool!
I'm trying to imagine how a meetup would go if you took the knife out haha. I'm imagining some big body guard like coming in and tackling you haha
Just a hint , get him to autograph a piece of leather to be used in a sheath. The leather smith can trace the signature into the leather .
Ghostface made this knife famous.
And Jason, as it's in a few of his movie posters from back in the day
Knife was a Classic long before Scream lol
@@leastamongyou1111 100% agree
It did indeed.
@@leastamongyou1111 agreed, but people outside a profession or hobby that used it, didnt even know it existed. I only know about its existence due to scream. Scream definitely increases it recognition to the general public
1989? Damn! It still looks brand new!
It’s most likely way better than the new ones
I sure did take care of it! Thanks for watching!

I haven’t gotten the S35 VN steel one yet. Then again I’m a huge fan of the 420HC lol
The 119 is better for scalping, but for decent dispatching of human prey, the 120 has more opportunity.
It’s an amazing knife!
First
120 is almost as big as the Bowie 7 1/12 but the handle looks more comfy.
How is the feel of it?
I've had Buck folders and they feel great in the hands.
I just got mine. But as far as I can say, it handles amazingly in my big ole hands
The handle on the 120 General is great. It’s the same one that is on the 119 Special. It is even more comfortable than the Buck 110 Folding Hunter.
Carried a Ka-bar or a SOG Government Recon for 12 yrs, Army Infantry. Love my Buck 120 now.
Those are good ones as well! The Buck just has a specialness to it!

The 'better' one is the one that is the length you prefer. They are virtually identical but for length and price.
Top Mark's for the tang pictures, well done that's great effort. Brilliant thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it!

It’s absolutely perfect.
Thank you for your comment! It's definitely your turn!
I like the longer blade because when the animal is attacking you, you really wanna be sure to ensure as much shock and damage to an internal organ as quickly as possible, before the animal can hurt you.
my first and only fixed blade knife
It’s a good one! Thanks for commenting!
That groove is actually there to help with rigidity the bevel surprisingly helps
Thanks for the input! I appreciate it!
All you need is a Ghostface costume and you could recreate the Scream movies in real life if you get what I mean
Already on it
U need the dxs voice changer
I’ll keep using it for camping and Bushcraft! Lol it’s a beautiful knife though!
That’s my job
How good is it actually for bushcraft? I know buck typically makes hunting knives, but if I don't intend on hunting, then would it still be worth it for the style of the knife? I just wouldn't want to break or otherwise damage it.
I am a collector and just had to have it. The knife just looks awesome and kinda gentlemen and its made in the US !! Not too expensive either
I just gave this video it’s 120th thumbs up😎
Wow - thanks! Thanks for commenting as well!
Haha I bought it because is the knife Ghostface uses in Scream, it’s the coolest looking knife I’ve ever seen
It’s a mean looking knife for sure!
One of my favorites 120 General
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it!
I obviously prefer the 120 cause its what Ghostface Uses and Im proud that I got the Same Knife as his
I had no idea about the year chart! Found out my 119 is a 2003 model now! I find that little fact interesting
Glad I could point that out! Thanks for watching!
I like the 120 better too you're absolutely 100% right❤
Such a beautiful blade… Classic!
It sure is!
I had one, can't remember what I did with it.
I HAVE ONE, SINCE 1972
Oh I would like to see that! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it!
I replaced my 120 sheath with the modern 1 but obviously I kept the old 1 that it came with. It's just a better sheath and I don't risk stabbing through it. Plastic insert to thank.
My dad always had general along with a folding hunter.
I wish Buck would put the 120 in the custom shop of their website!
Dang no wonder why they use this knife because it's so effective because of the tip
That tip does some great fine work. Just gotta be careful with it and use it for what it’s made for - a knife! Lol
I just ordered a brand new 120 General with the Coca-Bola handle, can't wait till it comes in
Oh I’m sure that’s beautiful! Thanks for watching!
What oil do you use for your leather sheaths those sheaths look really good to be old like that. Buck is my favorite knife right alongside Kabar.

All good points. I actually just use neatsfoot or mink oils are the best.
Thanks for watching!
At this point all of my Buck's are folding knives, thinking about picking up my first fixed blade and I'm thinking that might be the 119 or 120.
120 all the way bro. My buddy has a 119 and it just doesn't compare, it doesn't feel as raw and visceral. The 120 is just so satisfying just holding onto
They both are awesome. Maybe check out the 124 Frontiersman as well!
What's your favorite scary movie?
Awesome thank you for comparing it to the 119 special
Yeah those two just go together!
Let's face it bud, we all carry that bad boy cause it's the ultimate big, F-off, shiny kid on the block. At least I know that it sure solved an argument like nothing, the one time I had to pull it out.
It’s a mean looking knife for sure! Thanks for watching!
I'm here for scream too
That made it famous!
It's an excellent hunting and self-defense weapon, but I definitely wouldn't use something with a stainless blade for heavy bush-craft.
awesome knife the 120
It sure is!
I also prefer my buck 120 over my buck 119.
give it to me
They are both amazing, but I prefer the 120 as well!
Can buck 119 and 120 be survival or bushcraft knife ?
If I buy this, I will be just like my hero Scrum!
do you know how often buck made change to is knife specially the 120 ? i have a old 1997 model and im curious to know if there is any change from the 1995 model
Oh I don’t know for sure, but I have that one from 1988 and not many changes except the sheath. Thanks for watching!
What angle is the grind for re-sharpening?
Mine also looks brand new, my grandfather gave it too me. I was born 1994. Had it since I was a small child. And a blood grove has soooo much speculation on it. Some even say it's there to help pull the blade out when stabbed into something
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it! What a gift from your grandfather!
Nonsense.
It’s a fuller not a blood grove.
Buck 120😍😍😍😍😍😍
Totally agree!
That is a sexy knife
It sure is! Lol

Exemplary American Quality :) very balanced and elegant. I use and treat it like one of my chef knives. Perfect for salmon
It’s a great one! Thanks for sharing!
I've got a 119 Special and kind of wish I got one of these instead. I likely will next tbh.
Never hurts to own both! Thanks for watching!
Great channel very helpful 😊
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Where can you still get those?
Amazon or from Buck directly.

I just bought this knife
I sure hope you are enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
The older the better and higher quality yo 😊
is it better then a bayonet m9
Kindly direct me where to buy one for domestic use. Am at Nakuru
@@DavidGitahi-kj9le Possibly Amazon.com
i got a 120 you get what you pay for the best
It’s a beautiful knife!
O.J.'s Knife of choice.
IMHO best my knife, steel is perfect! I have 119 model.
I've got the 119. Trying to find the 120.
Amazon is a good source or straight from Buck!
That's not a knife😁 (its classy)
The famous quote! Thanks for watching!
I never noticed that drainage hole in the sheath.
It really helps for water drainage! Thanks for watching!
Nobody:
Billy Loomis in 1996:
obviously, it's not a bushcraft knife. it has a blood groove. my god... if you don't know knives... try stop commenting on knives.
The clip point wont break unless you wedge it in asphalt at an angle then run over it with an 18 wheeler, or you actively try da fuck it up.
They are tough for sure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
What contry is it in
This is the USA. Thanks for watching!
It’s 1988 dude. That means it’s not 420HC.
We all go a little mad sometimes…
Wait till the trial it is gonna rock !
I like the fact that the Buck family are Christian and that speaks in the quality of their knives which are tools, not weapons. And Scream is stupid, made absolutely no sense, and don't care for it. I bought this knife because I never bought a 120 before and it reminds me of a Ka-Bar.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
I'm here for a self defense weapon
It’s a good one. Maybe a little hard to conceal.
Mythology has no place in a factual world except to creat harm and false narratives. I like Buck knives because they are a good product.
My friend Amber wanted to borrow mine, i wonder why.......
Hmmmm scary! lol
😮😮😮😮😮
Thanks for watching!
I'm a Hunting person and I would love to have this as a gift
Show the video to someone close and maybe they will get the hint! Thanks for watching!
GHOSTFACE !!!!!!
Does anyone else collect knives and treat them almost like pets?
At least I don’t name them…yet! Lol 😂
wish the sheath was ambidextrous
Yeah, that would be a good design! Thanks for watching!
Crappy sheath. Buck made great sheaths once.
Yeah! And all the military forces in the world use Buck knives! Actually a Buck knife is a cheap piece of crap. Try throwing one and watch it break in half.
Hahaha nice joke
I have used them for years. They have always been very reliable. They also have the forever warranty. For throwing - I would use a throwing knife! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
