The Buck 120 General isn’t just another hunting knife—it’s an icon born from the golden era of American outdoor exploration. In the post-WWII boom, Buck Knives responded to the growing demand for reliable tools in the field. Building on the success of the 119 Special, the company introduced the 120 General, a larger, stronger knife designed for hunters who needed maximum reach and cutting power for big game and demanding outdoor work. From its very beginning, it set a standard for performance and quickly earned a reputation as a trusted companion for serious outdoorsmen.
At the heart of the 120 General is its 7.37-inch 420HC stainless steel clip point blade, treated with Buck’s famous heat-treat process for superior edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. Its long, sweeping design with a deep clip point provides excellent control, making it ideal for field dressing, precision cutting, or taking on the toughest camp tasks. The satin finish and hollow grind ensure a sharp, clean edge that reflects Buck’s dedication to craftsmanship.
