Does anyone know where/if I can buy a 119 with a brass guard/pommel and cocobolo handle? They're discontinued everywhere I've looked. There's a used one on ebay for $149, but I know I can get a new custom built brass and cherrywood from Buck for $135.

Thanks! That wood looks better than what's shown on the Buck customize page. Did Buck put that engraving on the blade, or did you have it customized somewhere else?
 
Need one for an Xmas gift?

The Xmas deadline has passed at Buck for a custom but, if you need one for an Xmas gift, I would just order one to be shipped to the recipient and include the order form (sans price) along w/a full color pic of the knife as ordered w/a Xmas card.

I'm sure the receipient would be happy to wait for delivery post-Xmas. I know I would. ;)

Nah, it's for me.
 
Have you held one? I don’t like the weight of the brass hardware. Keep in mind the wood handle weighs more than the phenolic too.

Also the brass they use at least the ones Ive seen patina badly.

Do yourself a solid go to Bucks web page configure your perfect 119 and buy it. You won’t regret it. D82AB675-5ED1-49F0-9E28-66E0EBBC91F8.jpeg
Both my sons bought the 120 110 sets.

In storage with no use the pommels got a strange patina. The guard and the 110 were fine.

That's how it came ... note that I changed blade steel and removed the fuller.

This is the other side in a different light.

Doesn't that patina on the 120 pommel polish out?

I was asking about availability, because it seems the brass and cocobolo 119's were very available up until fairly recently. Walmart was selling them for $89. But now every place that has them listed say they're out of stock. I was just hoping someone here would know of an outfit I haven't come across.
 
It will polish out. But my point is it’s different than the 110’s Maybe they aren’t all the same. IDK

I knew it was an availability question that’s why I didn’t respond right away. I really just wanted to encourage you to order a custom.

FYI, Brass and cherrywood was offered by a retailer for a long time. Pretty sure it was BassPro. There should be some of those around on the secondary market.77A0BB0E-9E18-48BB-A1CA-B850E31DA1A4.jpeg
When I was putting this set together brass and cherrywood were readily available. I paid extra in most cases for the aluminum.

I'll most likely do that.
 
Since Buck has "Seen Fit" to drop dealer SFO's your only option for a new one is NOS (good luck finding one) or the Buck Custom Shop.
Buck currently has brass guard and pommel as an extra cost option, and your choice of six woods, Elk with Walnut spacers, or the standard phenolic. They also have several blade options, including "Chipped Flint".
(I just looked to make sure I gave accurate info on what they offer.)
