Buck knife

Buck 119 Special

I received my knife as a junior high graduation gift. It's a tradition in my family that you get a knife upon moving up to high school. I've had my knife know for ten years, and I couldn't be happier.

I used to carry a Gerber multi-tool, Victorinox Tinker, and my Buck 119 Special. I found over the years that the only knife I actually ended up using was the Buck, so now that's all I carry. Just large enough to hack away limbs and cut logs for a shelter, it's also small enough to clean fish.
