Thanks.I really admire your commitment to the 305's. I only have a single-spring version, but I like it very much. There are a couple on your list floating in the bay now.
I've been keeping tabs, but the prices aren't right.
I almost pulled the trigger on that smooth yellow delrin till I realized the shield was missing at the last second.
The elk stag I'm tempted on, but it's a 1987 but for the money I'd rather have an '89. The main blade was shorter in '87 and I'm not sure I like it as much.
I've been tempted on a 305 clipper ( one seller currently has multiple low priced examples ) but I'm conflicted about the scissors.
I always carry a 58mm Victorinox for the scissors, and I'm not sure where the 305 clipper scissors would fit in or if they even cut as well.
I'm thinking of biting the bullet and checking one out, but I have other lists to check off.
I'm still working on my US made 1/4 ratchet collection, and my Channellock plier drawer.
