1978 301 Stockman

That sound right. Basically, 400 series stainless is magnetic and 300 series stainless is non-magnetic.

A magnet sticks like glue to my '72 309 Companion bolsters. Do you have any old 309s to check? Perhaps the bolster material is different on the 301s.

The only 309 I have is 2005 and it's the same as my 301's, blades and backsprings are, but bolsters, shield and liners are not.

Same with a 2007 303, 1982 311, 1990 312, or 1994 314.

Non of my Bucks from any era show magnetism on the bolsters or liners

American or Chinese.

Well, either my 309 is special or it's fake.

Thanks for checking! :thumbup:

Just curious, is it the only Buck you have that's doing this?

It is the only 300 series Buck that I own or have ever owned. My father bought it for me in 1972. Liners and pin are brass.
