I ordered this from Buck's custom shop a month ago. Showed up today. It is quite an impressive knife, considering it's a factory knife. The steel is S30V, with Bos heat treat. The guard and pommel are brass. The handle is quality Ironwood. Razor sharp, and came with a great leather sheath. I had the blade engraved as well. I could not be happier with it. This knife will get a lot of time afield as a general purpose belt knife.

Very nice! I like the Buck Custom Shop. I've owned four Custom Shop 110's and they were very well put together. Makes a rather ho hum knife unusual and interesting.

I picked up a custom shop Buck 110 last year. That was with S30V steel also. Great knife at a good price.

I'm a big fan of the Buck 119. Sam, yours is an excellent upgrade.

That is a pretty nice knife. The only Buck knife I have ever owned is a folder.
I like some of their lines and the American Make thing also.
I have used Bos Heat Treating a couple times now. Very pleased and they are great to talk with.
I did make a couple for people who like their blade lines, but I did not do the butt cap part.
Also did one in VA blue and one with customers mule deer antler.
Seems the blade profile should work quite well.

this was my first Buck fixed blade. Maybe ever. I was curious as to how well Buck could make a custom shop knife. So far, I'm pleased with what they sent me. It is far from a hand made knife, but for a factory effort, it's not bad.
