Magnacut 119

I'm still waiting on this:


I always sorta regret missing out on the Jan BOTM 119 in 3v.
But I never really use a 119.

A 117 would be great.

It looks like a great knife, and I wish I could justify it.
I'm sure I'll regret it come January, but until then.😉

I agree, if it were a 117 id probably have one or two on the way.

youre not wrong, but Buck always was American made quality but more affordable than other American makers.

think that's more the point. for Buck its kinda pricey.......didn't stop me from grabbing one though. did stop me from grabbing 2 of them.

I see your point jbmonkey jbmonkey . I was coming from more the angle of the 119 pro with micarta and S35VN steel is listed at 209.99 (on sale for 199.99). So an extra $15-25 for an upgraded and easier sharpening steel (with a somewhat unique blade shape) isn't too bad.

I also know that people go back and forth between the quality of the USA sheaths vs the imported, but to me its nice to see the USA made sheath paired with it.
 
Had to bite, pricey for me at least, but blade shape is gorgeous, upgraded handle.....and the latest hotness in knife steel, lol! Cause ya know, got to try the new things.

I'm a sucker for the 119 anyway, it was my first real hunting knife when I was a kid.

At Christmas even!
And we just purchased furniture for the family room.

But my trucks almost paid off.....🤔

Furniture? We just bought a whole HOUSE (our first ever too!).

I was sitting here and the e-mail popped up and I loudly said "**** YOU BUCK", wife says "don't look, just don't look" because even without seeing what I was looking at, she immediately knew. ~sigh~😆

On the bright side I now have a shop finally and am in the middle of making the knife display case we've always wanted, great big thing, found an old school hardwood shipping crate in the garage and an old wood-pane window, so i'm doing the whole thing with re-purposed materials with a cool rustic look to it, and that's all free so I figure when finished it saves us at least a couple hundred from having to buy one....soooo...ya know....gonna need to fill it with something and we don't have a knife yet in Magnacut..... ;)

Congrats on your first house. Post pics of the custom made display case when you get it done. Filled with Buck Knives of course. ;)

Will do and thanks! Took us many years of scrimping and saving but we finally bought one before we hit 60 at least (it was close though), lol, guess that's something.

House is nice and wife likes it...but dude...I FINALLY GOT A SHOP! Our offer was accepted literally on my birthday. Best. Birthday. EVER. 😄

Kinda blown away how many Bucks we have now, probably gonna fill half the case just with the nicer ones.

true there also. although I feel the pro is a bit pricey too compared to the standard. I don't really want to focus on pricing though as we all know everything has gotten much pricier last couple years.......
