BUCK 119 - KNIFE DESTRUCTION TEST - UNTIL IT BREAKS - STEEL 420HC - TORTURE BUCK KNIFE TEST REVIEW 

i think it is the same steel, weird, different heattreatment? I had to shoot something!!! haha

I think Bucks are heat treated harder which gives them better edge retention but a little less toughness. Remember a big part of toughness is simply the amount of steel present. Short, stumpy tips are stronger than thin hollow ground ones and thick wide knives are stronger than thin shallow ones.

@@DL-ij7tf ok!!!

Lilly!!!!!!!

@@DL-ij7tf Very true. This we have seen in many of these tests. The knives with the thick chubby tips survive the tips abuse. But can't penetrate the car hood. Though same steel the Strongarm has a very thick edge and tip compared to the Buck 119. Also. The Buck 110 was used by Gene Moe to kill a 750lbs Grizzly(not the biggest, but still bigger than several pit bulls) who attacked him. So it was self defense, not hunting for fun. Those tips are excellent for self defense. Not for prying.

ok! it threw me over the tree! revenge!

are you really Chuck Norris?

When i stare at a Knife, IT will break.

@@joex affraid?

@@ChuckNorris-ns4qm no, i like the real CHUCK!!!

haha, i can end it quickly if i had to!! (joke)

awesome!

I bought mine on a special sale for $29.99 back in Summer of 09 & I've put it through a lot of use & still holding up.

I have had mine since 1972.

Just bought me one today, glad to hear you guys are having success with yours!!

For 40 men, mine was for 75😅. To tell you the truth, though, I would have paid 80 for it

👍👍👍😅

Joe X has no idea what the phrase “intended use” means. This video is clickbait.

@@RyanGr33n "KNIFE DESTRUCTION TEST" 'it's clickbait!! he doesn't know what the intended use is" lol. lmao. No, YOU don't know what click bait is. He went above and beyond the title.

ok!

Joe X wouldn’t know, he knows nothing about it, this video is clickbait.

@@RyanGr33n From the results, I'm sure he wasn't so stupid he thought it was made to withstand torture. And how is it clickbait? In the video, he does exactly what was promised in the thumbnail.

​@@RyanGr33nI wouldn't say click bait, stupid mabey. He is showing you the limits of the knife through.

You can gut and quarter a dear with it too its a great knife . The 117 is a great knife too I myself think its better for a field dress but thats only my opion.

thanks i a lot, i try to keep my guys/girls entertained!!

no mercy, but peace!!"

cool!

Keep up the great work 👍💯🤠🗡

thanks!

Same

It didn't break at the tang..It is much tougher than I thought it would be

​@@iruwild yeah , I was very impressed and have a lot more faith in mine now.

Straight up. It’s not meant to be a beater survival knife. But the one I’ve had for 10 years came factory SCARY sharp; more than field ready to skin game, and it’s EASY to sharpen. It’s a great hunting knife. It’s not meant to be used as a pry bar or to stab into cars. I love my victorinox and leatherman knives; they’d fail these tests. Not meant for it

Different situations different tools for the job

He wasn’t trying to test the steel, he was using the name to get clicks on his video.

you are welcome!!! cheers!

It's primary design purpose is as a hunting knife, and for such it excells. I like the blade but the handle is block-y for me. When I was younger I was gifted one with a Paracord wrapped handle and I really loved it, the wrap fit good in hand. A little while ago I purchased a new one on sale and the handle didn't feel good in my medium sized hands, so I gifted it. I primarily use a Knives Of Alaska Yukon belt knife & a 70's Old Hickory 6" butcher knife for game processing.

@@MB-jg4tr yea, I have large size hands so it makes sense. I even thought the handle could be a hair bulkier but my dad a few years back bought me it for Christmas. I use it for gutting my fish, small game & hopefully my first deer this year on a hunting trip with my uncles. Other than that i use it for general outdoors cutting task, I wouldn't do to much wood work with it, If I want a chopper id probably like the ontario raider bowie if I want a bushcraft knife maybe a mora garberg, but edc I use a Leatherman wave.

@@joex cheers brother

@@konnorwerth4906 thanks!

when you say so!! i don't think so!

Maybe true 50 years ago but there are better knives for the task today.

@@addictedtopussy69 agree!!

@@joex victorinox is better.

@@addictedtopussy69 The first test on the hood of the car is enough to understand how that blade is useful in a context of self-defense or flaying of game. Definitely not the knife that I would carry with me in the zombie apocalypse, however it is not even that shit that could appear from the test, it is a bowie knife not a prybar

c ool!

you told the truth!! good dad!!!

its a buck, it breaks!!! haha, nah did ok for the abuse 4 sure!

i love it!

ok, cool, thanks for the info!

if u say so!

@@joex I do say so, because knives are for cutting and nobody worried about being able to stab their knives through sheet metal before RU-vid " reviewers " came along to tell them a knife must be strong enough to pound on stab through steel or be pryed with or it's not a good knife.

@@TylerSnyder305 This guy doesn't like Bucks. They're for slicing and bushcraft, not beating the living shit out of right out of the gate.

@@Brad-pt5uz no efficient cutting tool is designed for that kind of use.

whats wrong with you?

@@joex I believe in the right to keep and bear arms. This knife is excellent for self defense. I enjoy carrying it while walking my dog. I have had a pitbull jump a fence once. Luckily I had a hot cup of coffee to throw in it's face. My Buck 120, or a 9mm have accompanied me ever since. Have you never seen Lynn Thompson of Cold Steel testing fighting style weapons. He uses animal carcasses in denim and leather to stimulate combat. I liked and subscribed to your channel because I also enjoy seeing how these knives hold up under extreme abuse. But this knife and the USMC KA-BAR, are made for self defense/combat. These situations demand a light, sharp and strong knife. But not a heavy slow handling blade that would be better for chopping wood. So nothing is wrong with me. I'm simply stating the truth. You have to apply the conditions the knife is made for.

@@heithwatkins

i think this buck 119 looks good behind a vitrine!

@@joex Haha yes but it isn't as bad as all that. Your tests are obviously brutal and focus on toughness only, which tends to make softer steels with low edge retention look good and harder steels with higher edge retention look bad. I tend to preference toughness like you do so I love your tests but I try to acknowledge that not every knife is a "beater". After all, not many kitchen knives would fare well in your hands but it doesn't mean they're bad kitchen knives hahah

@@DL-ij7tf i just want to find the one knife for the Z-APO....!!

@@joex that's the Tops Operator 7 my friend!

@@DL-ij7tf could be?

ok cool! it kiaallled Cindy!

are u from "Buck" ?

but good to know, that u could do it! do it!!

@@joex lmao !🤣 😂

i didn't broke YOUR knife! it was MINE!

none of them!

cool, thanks for your comment!!!

this buck broke easy....

cool, u are welcome!

cool!

thanks margaret, your comments i like the most!!! cheers!!!

thanks, you too!

ok cool!

No its not.

@@moose9410 Try making an intelligent response.

like Stranger Things!

u are welcome!!!! thanks a lot!

i would buy this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cS7NTHGAVTs.html

the tanto did betterr than the blue handle one, these knives have no names!! so annoying!!!

@@joex yes thats stupid with No names. Thanks for the Response

ok

Marlboro!

you are welcome!!! editing needs time!!!

i know someone! his name is JOEX

@@joex 🤣

thanks, not yet!

for sure!

cool, thanks!

thanks a lot my friend, will do!!

ok, thanks for the info! cheers°!

it’s not just about the steel. The treatment makes or breaks a knife. The geometry is the biggest factor on how a knife perform. The ergos are also pretty important since an uncomfortable knife is an useless knife. Just jerking around talking about steel is monkey business.

thanks a lot, bullet, just regular, the cheapest one i could get, i have some pics on my community page on my channel!!!! scroll down a bit!!!

Most likely copper

no factory loads, fully unplated 9mm. Would have to be handloads.

ok cool!

i will buy 3V soon, test it in 2 month or so!!!!!!!!! i know Michael!

420hc is about as tough as 3v like for like, one of the toughest steels. All depends on heat treat and geometry of a blade though. Bucks heat treat is top notch but the very thin edge makes it a great slicer rather than super tough like the Strongarm.

ohh fukcckkkkking yeah!

ok, that could be true! "high end of junk knives" - i think thats exactly what u can say about the BUCK!

cool, hope u liked it!!! the "stunt" was no fake!!!!!

awesome right!

yes! it got me!

ok

you are welcome, deep inside i am a clown!!! (a bad one)

ok

awesome, u send it to me!!!??

ok, thanks for the input, cheers!!

@@joex I'd strongly recommend one if you can find an old carbon steel one cheap, but they're hard to find cheap and not completely shot. I got lucky with mine, it's pretty beat up, but still nearly pristine on sharpening wear and still VERY serviceable, I've only had to do a full sharpening job when I bought it, steel holds up super well, and for its extreme hardness, it's pretty damn tough too

@@jonslife3533 ok!

cool, greets to Canada!

it is good to be bad!!!°

i don't have clone, but would be interesting!

@@joex Harbor Freight has clones of the 119 for around $20+/-

​@@BladesRKing fwiw that clone uses 7cr17 steel (upgraded Chinese version of 440 a steel). Typically gets about 57 HRC and 30% more carbon than the 420hc steel (around 55hrc). However, Buck heat treats their steel up to 58 HRC using cryogenic freezing process. So, it's really pretty much a wash. Buck's HRC is just a tiny bit better. 119 clones are about 1/3 the cost. Buck's older style 440 c steel is a whole other ball game. They often got HRC around 60-61 back in the old days. People struggled to sharpen their buck knives prior to diamond and carbide sharpeners.

i will try to get one!

​​@@joex I would like to suggest that the person wanting joe to wild test a Buck 110 folding knife,refer to any of many articles that reported on Alaskan hunter Gene Moe's successful fight to the death at age 69 with a brown bear and armed only with a Buck110.

@@RicardoGarcia-uf8gh 👍👍

u got it!

thanks a lot!

no easy answer, but for sure no buck! Cold Steel have some!

@@joex Oh I see. SRK Sk5 . Are you saying that? Which Cold Steel product is better?

@NightN6 check my top 35 cs knife video

@@joex Thank you i see

ok!

we will see!!!

I think those two will fail a lot sooner.

i am glad to help, there are soo many shitty day the hole freaking year!!!

ok!

thats cheap, it is 100 Euro here!

thanks!

thats true!!! and it is cheaper!

i would say, Gerber Strongarm, Ka bar Short Fighting knife!

@@joex strong than the srk?

@@gravity579 i broke 3 SRKs, the SRKC, SRK SK5 and SRK VG10, not all vids are uploaded yet, and the Strongarm did better, at a "Destruction" Test!!!!

I have broke 4 knives in my life. All of them were Kabar. Two big brothers, a short fighting, and a warthog. Kabar is trash.

not too hard, it is a ok stabber!

i think the Silent Hero from Tops!°

nice stabber, but blade got chipped out easy!

maybe i do sometimes!

i did some bucks but not the brain buck!

good idea!

i will look it up!

@@joex cool. Thank you for the reply. You might enjoy it. I enjoy being able to rely on mine sometimes. Old fashioned lump. Good luck. Your videos are interesting thank you. Best wishes from Sussex, UK. (By the way, have you considered suggest wrist protection? Or longer gloves like racing driver ones like Sparco land/profi. Probably a hassle and uncomfortable though?)

@@Surv1ve_Thrive no, i stick with my mechanix gloves, a bit blood from time to time is not too bad, then i still know that i am alive!!!

@@joex that is very true! 👍

dead!

until they die!!!!!or survive!

maybe he can!

ok cool!

thanks a lot!!!!

the blade is ok, glad u like it!

cool!

awesome, !

thanks for the info!

ok, but it is what it is, ONLY THE STRONG!!!

yes they are indeed!

not a buck!

@@joex can you recommend a sheath that wind fit this knife?

u are welcome!

cool thanks a lot!

@@joex no problem 👍

the "stunt" was no fake, i really fell backwards!

@@joex I thought it was the case also. That made it funny.

@@joex 😂😂😂

gracias, Gerber Strongarm!

mine lasted 2 days after i got it! so very long in my kind of usage!

@@joex , now you can send it back to buck and get a new one .
