Buck’s fixed blade lineup spans hunting knives, camp tools, and survival designs—all built around the same heat-treated 420HC steel that anchors their folder production. The Heritage Series elevates the classics with Dymalux Cocobolo handles and polished brass fittings, while the standard production models prioritize function over finish. The 119 Special remains the quintessential Buck fixed blade. A 6" clip point blade with a full tang, the 119 has served as a benchmark hunting knife since 1961. The standard version ships with phenolic handles and an aluminum pommel. The S30V variant upgrades blade steel significantly—CPM-S30V offers substantially better edge retention than 420HC. The Heritage Series 119 features Dymalux Cocobolo scales and a satin-finished blade.
The General (120) extends the 119’s design to a 7.38" blade for heavier camp tasks. The Pathfinder (105), Woodsman (102), and Skinner (103) complete the traditional hunting knife range with purpose-built blade profiles. The Brahma (117) provides a smaller 4.38" blade for detail work and backup carry.
Modern fixed blades include the Selkirk survival series with integrated fire starters and the Compadre camp knife—a 5.5" chopping blade with an exposed tang for batoning. The Bones series runs 420HC with skeletonized handles for reduced weight.
All fixed blades include leather or nylon sheaths. Buck backs these models with the Forever Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
