Bought another Buck today.

Won a 2014 119 on ebay today for $29. Score!

Cool!! That was a good score...

 

[Ferahgo]

New?

New?

Not NIB. But he had good pics. No box, slight scratches, but the edge looks factory. I'm happy. Been looking for a 119 to try some mods on. 20 dollars cheaper than the best NIB price you can find, $49 at wallyworld. I'm just going to take it to a grinder and make it fit me anyway.

You are aware that taking it to a a grinder will ruin the heat treat and void the Forever Warranty, right?

 

[JAM]

I'm talking more about shaping the guard and that fat handle for my little girly hands. I know better than to burn the edge. I don't plan to "ruin" anything.

 

[sassafrassdogs]

You'll still ruin the warranty...

 

[Ernie1980]

Sometimes voiding the warranty to personalize your knife is well worth it. I just found an old 119 in my Mom's house that I might try to re-handle.

For that price I say go for it. This 119 with screw on pommel and shaved guard is a good example.

 

[eveled]

Go for it, and post pictures.

Will do.

You might try to rehandle it if your project does not work out. There are some here who can do that for you. Look at Makael's excellent work in that picture. Very nice.

Wow! That really looks good...and what an improvement in the aesthetics of the knife!
