BucknBear Drop Point Utility Hunter vs Buck Special 119BKS Hunting Knife Fixed Blade

This is a buck and bear drop point utility hunter, we're just doing a quick quality check before we send to our customer. Take it out of the box open ...

That's just my personal preference. I've always wanted a Buck 119 Special and the time has come. This hunting knife is a keeper for life. The leather sheath is made in Mexico but appears to be saddle quality leather and seems very tough

I'm not 100% convinced (sure) this is true Damascus steel, I was most disappointed with my purchase, I have a large collection of knives and I really liked what I saw in the picture. If I could give this less than one star, I would.

The blade arrived quite dull and couldn't shave any hair even with some decent pressure. I also have a new standard 119 (which costs 1/3 the price as this) and it arrived super sharp with a nice even grind. There is no way this "pro" version is worth 3x as much as the standard 119. Even if they were priced exactly the same I would choose the original

This knife is gorgeous. Heavy, sturdy, and great materials. Fits great in the hand well balanced. The knife comes well oiled

the steel is decent though and holds its edge without needing to be reaharpened for a long time..

Excellent workmanship and very sharp , sheath is a nice fit for knife very happy with purchase would recommend this product to everyone who like Damascus blades

Sheath is great with quality snap. Handle is brilliantly polished and has a wet look to it. It is a knife that will see use but I like my stuff to look nice. I'm one of those guys that cleans his tools every time they are used and gives them weekly light oil

For the price it's okay the sheath looks nothing like the one I the picture also the sheath and the knife don't have the stamp on it like the one in the picture I'm not 100 percent convinced this is ture damascus steel as the damascus design seem to stop near the back of the knife on the handle however I'm not an knife expert and I may be wrong also it's not to Sharpe so I guess I have more info when I take it to a professional to be sharpened over all I'm content with my purchase as I just want a nice looking knife for every day carry and use it will also post some pictures to further help anyone else interested in this knife.

Under some circumstances that might be nice, but it utterly destroys any balance this knife might have been able to achieve. It also gives the impression that if one were to drop it, it would shatter in about a million pieces. This may absolutely not be the case, but it is a phenolic handle, and these things happen. Despite the rather nice appearance, actually holding the knife makes it feel considerably cheaper than it otherwise could, and paying twice as much for a wood handle seems unreasonable at this price point
