119 Specials and 120’s let’s see them all.

Not as pretty as some here, but it kind of has its own beauty.

Scraping up some inner bark,


Making big wood smaller,


Making small wood smaller yet,


Sourcing some Colt's Foot flash tinder to get the bark going,


And we're off and running,


Jack London would approve,
 
Is there an "after" picture of this knife? It looks like it has potential to be a daily user.
Not by me, that knife belonged to the guide - mine were safely in their scabbards, not on the bottom of a boat! Boat was pretty rough too (as was his truck) - that fellow was a working man, guiding on the side to pay his bills. I won’t judge him, he put me on the ducks. OH

That’s a good looking one.

Something over 13 years ago, I first signed up on Bladeforums and made my very first post here - in the Buck Knives subforum - to get some clarification about this one: a 'Master Series' 119 in BG-42 steel. The good people here shared their knowledge to help me out. :thumbsup:

Yes I would like to see those...I just bought a number of new 119's in various configurations and lost a unused two line 119. I probably should have pressed the bidding more. I ma going to be looking for one and two line 119's and 120's and and may not find new unused so a excellent used condition knife going to a spa treatment might be a good option. I have a matched pair three line 119/120 already. I am the original owner of the 119 from back in 1979.
Here's the before pics, you can see it was in rough shape
