This knife had a broken tip and I reground it to a 4" drop point hunter. I've got a 120 that needs that done & will copy your shape if I do. A good friend gave it to me to do with what I want. He carried it for 2 or 3 tours in VN & I can't bring myself to change it. Long story short, it's my favorite Buck even though it's missing nearly an inch of the tip. I did reshape the handle,quite a bit. I also reshaped the hilt and buttcap.

Favorite? 116. Hands down. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gkBb4KHY/IMG-1325.jpg)
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/181017.jpg) That’s really nice. I’d say it’s a perfect balance in fact. You did some good work on that one. The other Buck that you worked on looks really good too. Strong work. Thank you. It's a hobby that keeps me sane in such a tumultuous world.

Well done. Buck should be paying attention. That would sell.

I have others, but these I am very partial to these two. A 119 and a 110, both from the custom shop with S30V ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/HKS92Ok.jpg)

This knife had a broken tip and I reground it to a 4" drop point hunter. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/181018.jpg) Beyond outstanding!!! Awesome! I'm a huge Buck 119 afficianado. Have not been without since 1979 when I bought my first one as an eagle scout. It's been on my hip at every scout camp for over 40 years, and become the "official" scout knife of most of the boys whom I led. Size, shape, weight, balance are perfect. But making it into a drop point is simply brilliant. Well done sir! I need to find a leathermaker who can cut the original sheath down to fit that size. (I don't care for the covered handle sheath style and buy older exposed handle sheaths for spares at gun&knife shows.)

I've owned quite a few. My favorite is the 110. My only complaint was weight. At one time they offered a 110 variant with a titanium handle .. maybe even had holes in it .. but I couldn't afford it at the time and never owned one. Probably 2nd favorite was the rubber handled Vanguard .. plain blade, no gut hook.

These are the Buck knives I use in the field. I like Kershaw for folding knives. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XYTqsjJk/Skinning-Knives.jpg)
