2015年11月11日 · As stated these are Buck 305 contracted to Camillus to make, as Buck did not have space or equipment to make them at that time. Lots of makers contracted a knife or three to Camillus to make for them. The blade steel is a 'best' guess. As there may have been some variation on orders. I would call it most likely 440a.

2014年6月16日 · The early (1972 - 1986) Camillus made Buck 305 and 309 pocketknives, while excellent knives, don't command much in the way of money unless they are new in the box. They are great using knives - knives with blade play or broken tips are certainly usable but preserving them (beyond putting in a drawer) isn't going to increase their value - it is ...

2011年3月21日 · In my collection, the 1990 305 has 2 springs with brass liners and in 1991 it's the newer style with the 1 piece nickel silver frame. I'm going to assume 1992 sees the start of 420HC. Other than the slight possibility of 425m in 1991, which I am not sure about, any 2 spring model with the newer frame style up to the present is all the same.

2005年4月19日 · Buck decided to test the waters, so to speak, and came out with the 305 Clipper. The Clipper is based on the 305 Lancer but has a couple of obvious differences. Instead of a copping blade there is a pair of scissors.

2005年4月19日 · But Buck was making decisions which would set the course for the future. Buck builds a slipjoint production line and begins to issue there own made models late in 1985. Buck takes over the production of the most popular models of their slipjoint knives, the 301,303,309 and 305. With the remaining models continued to be made by the Camillus factory.

2005年4月19日 · Based on my pleasant experience with a Buck 379 Solo I picked up on impulse, I've decided to get a Buck 305. But I've got some questions. Question #1: Is it hard to open the smaller blade? I like the idea of a secondary blade, but my experience with small multi-blade slipjoints over the years...

2011年2月17日 · Larry Oden sent a copy of the 2018 Buck catalog with various notes, including this: 3. The USA made 300 series models now only consist of the 301 and 303. The 302, 305 and 309 models are discontinued. Bert

2005年12月18日 · I bought an old '75 Coronet from the original owner a couple of yrs ago and found a Buck 305 in the ashtray. I happened to look it up on the Buck website and couldn't figure out the year. The knives I see pics of all have the normal crescent-shaped indentation for pulling out the blade. Mine has a straight-line indent that is almost an inch long.

2011年11月21日 · Schrade contracted the first Buck folders. They were made in the 301 and 303 stockman mode. Some discussion on the two blade 305 model has occurred in the past. The general consensus (99%) feel that Schrade never made the 305. No paperwork to that either way has ever surfaced. Schrade did not make a 309, only Camillus.

2010年4月1日 · I'm on a roll.....309 Companion, Made by Camillus for Buck from 1972 to 1986. Buck takes it back to its own factory in 1987 and keeps it going even now. Long nail pulls only black sawcut scales, colors and bones made by Buck. Variations include: Black sawcut, Red smooth, yellow sawcut, brown bone, redbone w/ and w/o engraving.
