CORRECTION: sheaths from buck that arent USA are made in Mexico, not China. I had China on my mind I guess. 🤦🏻

My parents gave me one of the original ones in 1971 or something like that they had it engraved with my name and the date I gifted the knife to my son since his name is the same as mine and I consider the knife now a family heirloom I'm enjoying my 119 and my 120 but now I miss my 124 so I'm going to have to buy another one. these knives are literally indestructible
@@Mauitaoist Man that’s awesome! They are indeed all tough as nail knives that can last a couple of lifetimes.
I could be mistaken because I don't have the knife with the paperwork with me but I think that this knife says it's 6:00 and 3/8 of an inch on the blade but when I measured mine I do know this it was 6 and 5/8 of an inch which is pretty damn close to 7 in if we're being honest only 3/8 difference but it is a great knife thanks for the video I just started following this Channel and watching quite a few of these videos got to say again great content
Mine hangs in a special place in my gun safe , it awaits the opening of jurassic park to hunters.
@@guycalgary7800 On that day it will be ready and willing to perform. It would make light work out of a velociraptor!
You have probably already sorted out the kydex sheath fit issue.
I just adjusted my Böker neck knife kydex sheath to stop the knife from rattling. I warmed up the emlty sheath with my wife's hair dryer and then kept the openi g pressed for a few minutes. It was enough to tighten it so the knife does not rattle anymore.
@@kokehri I used my wife’s hair dryer too and it kind of helped but I probably need to hit it again to loosen it some more. The guy I got it from told me to heat it and keep pulling the knife in and out then when I felt it was right leave the knife in and let it set. I’m just taken back that it’s not a perfect fit since it was made with a basic 124! Oh well. Glad that Boker kydex got right for you brother!
I have the 124 also it is awesome I have the 119 also and others great knives you have made me want to take mine out again and play with it. Thanks
@@georgeveneziano2754 Thank you for the kind words brother! The 124 and 119 are both legends in their own right. Take that bad boy out and play with it! 🔪
Nice! I carry a large bowie camping and kayaking in the Green Swamp of Florida... gators, boars, etc. Looks like I need to look at an upgrade... standard of course. Their custom pricing is nuts. Thanks.
@@greyscout01 This would be an amazing upgrade to keep them gators at bay! But yeah they gotta come to their senses on that custom pricing. The math ain’t mathing. Thank you!
Have one. Sent it to Buck to have the Handle re-configured. A bit too large around to fit my average hands. Buck did good job in-between 120 handle size.
@@deanzoil-yc8no Cool! I’ve never heard of that being done. Buck from what I hear has an amazing customer service and your story is a testament to that. Thank you!
Excellent review. My biggest concern has been the handle size since I can’t see them in person. I always wanted one.
@@marksaint2936 I can completely understand that since they aren’t out in stores to pick up and feel. It is a HAWSE but feels good! I wouldn’t say as nimble as a 119 or 120 but definitely a great piece to add to the collection and to use! I’m glad you enjoyed brother!
I would love to get one in s35vn or would be amazing if they did a magnacut!!!
@@davidallen5976 100% agree! They gotta give me something more than a new handle for $65 upcharge! Thank you!
The issue with kydex is everyone has a preference in sheath retention. Wich means 90% of people are going to be dissatisfied. Its more productive for a sheath maker to make it tight and let you heat it up a bit and loosen it to your liking vs being to loose and trying to make it tighter. Making it tighter is risky and alote harder withought the exact jig the sheath maker used. Your sheath is made well as with time ittl loosen on its own and you can adjust it to your preference at any time to speed up the process
@@mikelalonde6874 I appreciate that. I’m working on loosing it up just a tad. Thanks for the watch!
@TheShamanOfShank its good to heat up both sides pop the knife in and out a few times and if still not satisfactory. Pop the knife out to the exact point of open tension. Heat up " just enough" and let cool while still in this position. If you find it gets to loose in the end you can heat up without knife in sheath and let cool then try to put knife back in. Less is more as you don't want to over do the process and ruin your sheath. I Hope it works out for yah and good luck
@@mikelalonde6874 Man, I really do appreciate that feedback. I’m gonna try this and see if I can get it a little easier to withdrawal. Thank you!
Has anyone ever told you that you look like the actor in the Last Star Fighter movie?
@@ecleveland1 No I haven’t! Ive got to check that out. Hopefully he ain’t too ugly! 😂 Thank you!
I thought Davie Crockett was 'king of the wild frontier'!
@@jacob.tudragens LMAO! Now don’t let me not give Davie his props! I will say that Davie would probably love a good ol’ 124 on his side!
@TheShamanOfShank
My dad had a 119 (I think), and I broke the tip off, throwing it at a tree.☹️
That was 50 years ago!😏
@@jacob.tudragens IT HAPPENS! My first knife ever was a Solingen Germany Buffalo Skinner given to me by my grandfather. I beat the heck out of that thing and it is scratched all to hell but still awesome! I might have to break it out for a review before long!
@@TheShamanOfShank
Do that!
I'd love to see that!😁👍
@@jacob.tudragens YOU GOT IT! Thanks man!
