Buck 119 75th Anniversary model
Another Buck classic for the collection. It's the model Hoyt Buck started the company with. Anybody else like these?

My 119 dates from about 1975. If I could have only one fixed blade, this would be it.

When went overseas in 1962 with MACV-SOG, Buck made us folding knives. No number on it, and a very sweeping up curve on the point.
I keep it in a safe place with my old ID and another knife made by our Hmong tribesmen from a file and a transmitter insulator.
This got a lot of use in the VC tunnels.

I used to collect knives as a kid and had quite a collection of relatively inexpensive schrades, bucks, kabars, and cases - mostly hand-me-downs. I got a Buck 119 when I was 10 or 11 years old. Somehow, between moving away for college, and then several house moves as an adult, I lost my 119. I'd love to have it, but I won't buy another because it wouldn't be the same to me as having the one I got as a kid. I still have the vast majority of all the other knives I collected as a youth.
