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.
