Buck knife in the movies.

What is wrong with the 119's image?

Every 90's kid has this mental image of a 119 (whether they know it or not).

What is wrong with the 119's image?

A lot of times when the 119, along with a lot of knives, are featured in film, it is almost exclusively as a weapon. It is refreshing to see knives in movies used as they were intended, as a useful instrument to get a task done as opposed to being another shank.

I choose not to participate in demonizing tools because they are used as weapons.

So true!

Tools are neutral. How they are used by people is what matters. For example, the algorithms and other inner workings of the modern social media platforms are incredibly powerful tools to influence and in some cases control people, the likes of which the world has never seen before. I think this is primary reason why our culture and world are changing so much more rapidly than in the past that it's alarming. Those tools could be used for great good, but from my observations, it seems that amoral and/or bad people are using those tools to the detriment of mankind and the world. The power multiplier inherent in firearms and blades pales in comparison.

I think a gang member used a 110 in the blood oath scene. Assault on Precinct 13 1970's movie

In the movie "Dangerous" , Scott Eastwood's character (the good guy for change, and not the bad guy) has a Buck 119!

Will Sampson on the TV series, Vega$, carrying a Buck Kalinga, 1978.

In the Psych episode " The head, the tail, the whole damn episode " Shawn was on a fictional website Shawknives.com researching the " Shark tooth filleter " that could have been the murder weapon and you can clearly see the Buck 503 and 55 on this web page.

black leather gloves and a Buck 119 special but he's the good guy ?
That's pretty well unheard of in movies.

I was kinda surprised not to see it mentioned, either in this thread or two other "Buck knives in the movies" threads-

Exposure/A High Art/The Knife/etc (the movie has several names).

A Frontiersman 124 (left), and a 120 General (right).

And one of the bad guys carried a 124 as well.

And on a somewhat related note, I've seen it said in multiple threads that the Duke boys carried 110's in "the Dukes of Hazard", but in the thread linked below it looks like Luke Duke was carrying an Al Mar- https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/id-luke-duke's-knife.1772864/

Just watching the movie Gone fishing and when they first get their awesome '68 Barracuda back from that con man / murderer they open the glove box and find a 184 Buckmaster blood covered and wrapped in newspaper.

I couldn't get a screen shot ( wouldn't let me ) but you can see it clearly sitting in their boat in another scene and it's definitely a 184 Buckmaster.

They used a 119 special in the 1st movie and a 120 general in all the rest.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for clarifying. I haven't seen these movies since I was a kid so my information wasn't current. Reckon I'll have to revisit.

1-3 were fine and definitely worth watching.

It’s the first movie that got me to wanting a Buck 119 or 120 when the movie came out. Everybody who was anybody where I went to school had to have seen it when it finally came on TV.

I'm not sure if youtube counts as "movies," but I'm sharing this anyway. In the thumbnail image and the first few minutes of the video, you can see what appears to be a Buck 110 in her watch pocket. She doesn't use it in the video, but it's still cool to see.

A very nice prop in the hilariously stupid, "I Think You Should Leave Now."

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
