Buck knife in the movies.

Poor 119 and 120 can't escape the image of being a murder weapon.

You're right. The Buck 119 and 120 should be banned before a copycat uses one to commit a murder. In fact we should ban all private knife ownership to save all the lives of people stabbed to death by criminals.

I remember how enjoyable it was watching Survivorman, Les Stroud, use a 119 as a wilderness tool.

We need a new version of MacGyver where he uses the 119 to get out of trouble, instead of the SAK. He can rehabilitate the 119's image.

The problem with that is. Every time you pull out the 119, that you have been using since 1980, or some such date. So fool will pipe up and say, "Oh you gotcha one of them MacGyver knives eh"?

O.B.

Clint Eastwood uses a 110 to open a door in “True Crime.” I’ll try to get a pic, but it’s at about 1:27:00.

At the beginning of Gangs of New York, Priest Vallon tells young Amsterdam not to wipe blood off his razor stating, " the blood stays on the blade." Any ideas what thats about? great movie, the reference has always bothered me...

I like this phrase. I had only heard the first part before. used when a secret is leaked. also heard it used to describe a problem with male underwear, in which case, the added vocabulary would describe quite a problem

Not Buck related, but I do have an idea.
The carbon steel blade will patina from the blood so you will never forget the blood and how it got there, it serves as a reminder of mistakes...ect so you don't make them again.

Not buck specific, but the question was for the Buck community. I dont typically interact in the general forum. may as well just sign up for a facebook.

The reminder is definitely what I was thinking. Ive also heard that keeping the blood on the blade, keeps the blood off your hands. Also killing is a sin which you cannot wash your hands of...
however, due to the fact that hes shaving when he cuts himself, i thought it may have been some old time rule about caring for a knife..

I was just looking for some other input and ideas...

Happy Easter

mmmm kinda, but also

" And David said to Solomon: My son, it was my desire to have built a house to the name of the Lord my God. But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thou hast shed much blood, and fought many battles, so thou canst not build a house to my name, after shedding so much blood before me. The son that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man: for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quiet to Israel all his days. He shall build a house to my name, and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever."

So even his second favorite human, who battled and killed in the name of the Lord, didnt get a free pass.

The Editor 2020, looks like a 119. Pretty decent little horror/giallo spoof flick.

Watching Arctic Daughter: A Lifetime of Wilderness... not sure if this is an early vangaurd, or some other brand, but it looked close enough that I would post to see what you all thought... kind of a weird angle. View attachment 2154261

B BennyBlade 99% sure that's a Randall Model 11-5 "Alaskan Skinner" with a stag handle.

I think you are correct. Man I was born in the wrong decade... pretty nice knife for a couple of kids out homesteading.

When they make the movie about my life Buck knives will be quite prominent. Lol.

I'm watching The Dark Tower for about the millionth time and I thought I'd take a photo.
The Dark Tower is another Stephen King story that they crammed a ton of book into a movie. Real pitty too as there is a whole lot more great story that was left out.
Anywho... Roland pulls what appears to be a Vanguard from a SOB sheath to get himself free from a demon.

What is wrong with the 119's image?
