How about a black micarta like on the 124 for example) I'm familiar with the white bone, stag, and red micarta so I'm mainly interested in other variations beyond those and that boring black phenolic.
Thanks much for your time!

Handle Variations on the 119?
I'm looking to find out what handle variations have been used on the 119 Special other than that plain and boring black phenolic? (I sure wish Buck would come up with some other offerings beyond black phenolic. How about a black micarta like on the 124 for example)

Re: Handle Variations on the 119?
Copper & Clad was offering one with red phenolic handles but the last time I looked, it was out of stock. There's also one in Cocobola and of course the specials have various handle materials.

I have Crown Sambar Stag, smooth bone and cherrywood as well as Black Phenolic 119’s.
There are some really nice looking Lucite handles available off and on too.
The Black Phenolic May be plain and even boring, but it is a great handle material for a user. I’ve never seen one chipped cracked shrunk or swollen.

Thanks guys.
The smooth bone is very nice. BasPro had them as an exclusive. When the merged with Cabelas the Smooth Bone Bucks were discontinued. I had been hoping they would slowly release the entire line with the smooth bone. 1 each year around Father’s Day would have been perfect.
Copper & Clad had the 119 so I guess there is still hope for the rest of the set.

Re: Handle Variations on the 119?
There are a couple of guys on blade forums that live near the Buck factory that get lots of 1 off knives. One of them had 2 knives specially made for me to complete a set. I don’t know how he did it the 121 fisherman isn’t even in production right now.
These are both one of a kind knives. Point being that if you want something specific it doesn’t hurt to ask.
They both sell on eBay or direct. Now is a good time to be looking. The big Father’s Day sale at Buck is a time when oddballs come to the surface.

Sometimes the blades that are special too.
Re: Handle Variations on the 119?
Some really nice looking knives; however, some of them are overpriced, imho. But as the saying goes; "value is in the eye of the beholder"...or something like that. Mr. Houser & Mr. Remer do design some nice knives.

Over priced? 
I’m not sure I agree. I respect and trust all involved. They all deserve a profit, and eBay is getting more and more greedy. With that said they are too rich for my blood. 
But fun to look at.
Once Buck Knives start to come even close to Randall prices. I’m out!

Re: Handle Variations on the 119?
I respect and trust all involved too, but I wasn't referring to a person's integrity. All I was saying was; some of those knives are 'overpriced', and I stand by that. I also agree that a seller, no matter the venue, deserves to make a profit. But I know what the original retail price is on a lot of Buck knives...so I'll let it go at that.eveled wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 10:17 pm Over priced?

I think we are on the same page.
Re: Handle Variations on the 119?
Two rare handles found on the 119.
1961 White Melamine
2017 Experimental Black/Red swirl Phenolic. I'm thinking about 100 sold thru SMKW.
