Customizable 119 Special Knife – Customize your very own 119 Special, a knife that has survived the test of time and continues to be one of Buck’s best-selling fixed blade knives. Featuring a 6" blade and an overall length of 10 1/2". Please note: Current lead time for Custom Knives is 8 weeks. Please note: When we make handles out of natural products, you will find nature’s own "brandmarks." In most cases, these markings are not flaws, rather nature’s own design. Colors and markings will vary from handle to handle. Each one will have its own personality and distinctive look unlike handles created from man-made materials. Made in the USA At Buck, we are proud that this knife is made in the USA. The materials and workmanship involved in creating your knife will be done with the utmost care and will be free of defects. The Story of the 119 Special Knife The U.S. Government requested blade donations for the military after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is then, in the basement of a church in 1942, that Hoyt Buck (our founder) began making knives by hand. It was a design that was dialed in after 40 years of making knives to customer specifications. Paul Bos Heat Treat We are known for our blades. Buck Knives is a market leader in edge retention thanks to our steel selections and heat treat process pioneered by industry famous, Paul Bos, whose heat treating system has proven to be the best in the business.
