Hello fellow Buck nuts. Last weekend I was headed back to my home town to see my Grandfather for his birthday, so I stopped by a few pawn shops to see what they had. I notice this older Buck 119 next to a new 119. The older 119 did not have a sheath and knowing what the owner wanted for it, I passed. I thought about it often since Sat. Well last night I knew I would be off today and I started thinking about making a trip back down there today. Last night I woke up I know two times thinking about the knife. I in one of the dreams, I went to buy it and it was sold. I can't remember what the other one was, but when I woke up to the alarm I knew I would go buy it. I kept thinking "you don't see these very often", and it was just not worth loosing sleep over (how sick am I to loose sleep over a knife 
).
On the way home, I noticed a new pawn shop about 30 miles from my house, so I turned in to check it out. In there I met another Buck nut and I introduced him to the forums. I told him why I was down in the area and he wanted to see the 119. So off to the truck and I bring in this pretty rusted (surface rust). He offers to clean it with some polish he had there. He did a quick job and it looks much better than when I bought it. Well I am back and took some pics. She needs a little more TLC, but it's not too bad I can't show off some pics. Sorry for the crappy pics.

. Most of the way home I woundered if the rust pitted into the knife. I could not wait to get home to try to clean off the rust to see what laid under it. I guess the big man upstairs knew how bad I wanted to know, and so I meet a new friend who offers to clean the knife for me before I even got home :thumbup:. I paid $30 for it and I feel that was a good deal after seeing it cleaned up, but it was a gamble.
