117 Brahma Hunting Knife with Sheath, Black, 4.9 oz

4.5 " blade is literally RAZOR SHARP right out of the box. Fit and finish is flawless. Weight and balance/ergonomics are excellent. 420HC heat treated steel is a very good working steel that holds an edge for a good many uses, yet is easily sharpened quickly. The sheath provided is made very well and made to last for years. This is not a large knife but rather a good everyday carry knife---suitable for a wide variety of tasks. It's lightweight and sleeker than the big brother 119. I consider it to be a non-folding 110, albeit with a 1/2" longer blade, and a better than average blade tip for piercing tasks. This is an extremely practical and easy to carry and use knife. I'm very happy with this purchase. This made in the USA and the quality shines throughout the knife! You can pay more for a knife, but you might not come close to the great quality of a genuine USA made Buck knife!

Beautiful knife! Perfect in size and weight. Wonderful to use as a utility knife for around the ranch. Very durable and keeps good edge. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I had this 117 Brahma Buck knife when I was a teenager 13 or 14. I used it for everything in the woods from spears to cleaning game to fish. When I opened the box and removed the knife, I could tell the same quality hasn't changed. It sliced paper with no scraping sound and shaved my arm with no drag. I know this is not a survival knife but for camping and tackling lite to medium duty it will last long time

Perfect size for my hand. The grip feels good. Great balance. Came sharp right out of the box. I love the leather sheath

This is a great size for everyday outdoors carry. Not to big, not too small, Goldilocks right. Came VERY sharp out of the box and only took a little fine honing to get it scary-sharp. Handle feels great in my large-size hands, and is very comfortable to hold. Sheath is also typical Buck, good quality and holds securely when snapped. I expect it will hold up well, as is typical of USA-made products in the Buck line, and am very happy with my purchase. I call this my mini-General, and have carried it daily for work (Land Surveying) since I got it. I love the classic look and feel, as the full size model 120 General was my first “real knife” purchase as a kid in the eighties, and this little 117 touched a very nostalgic nerve for me. This has the same proportions, just scaled down to a more reasonable size. The only downside is the price, just a little more than I’d like at $75. $60 would be perfect, $65 still reasonable. The Pro version with upgraded micarta handle and S35VN steel would already be in my cart if it were priced at $130. I guess inflation has hit everywhere, thanks Joe!

I buy Buck for around the house use and the Barbeque. We live in the country and these knives are dependable. They're worth every penny.

Very nice knife, especially for males with hands on the smaller size. It's a beauty with attention to detail build and finish. I've owned the same Buck 110 since the early 70's and it's still in great shape with a buffing of the brass every couple of years...even the wood is still as new ! Buck isn't cheap, but they last. A plus, the sheath was much better than expected !

Pretty close to the 119 only petite. Will make the PERFECT Steak Knife for this old single man.

Perfektes messer und erlaubt mitzuführen kann ich enpfehlen
