Hello all Buck collectors!
I bought on ebay this beautiful knife.

What number is this model?
What other Buck knives of this pattern exist?

Somebody here posted photos of that model and another one, I think it was 300 Bucks. They'll check in today and give you the skinny on it. I like the looks of that one. DM

Sweet! That's a # 334 (also known as the "Millinnium") large trapper that was made in 2000 for SMKW's by Camillus . There were two versions made, a brown bone and the one like yours. Later, some were sold with no printing on the blades.

There were other versions of the trapper pattern, but I don't know if this version was ever used again for a Buck, but the same knife badged as a Camillus was made.

Here's one of the Camillus versions of the same knife. I don't believe Buck themselves ever actually made any of these in their own factory.

Boy I like those. I for one am very fond of the Camillus made Bucks. I like the flat grinds on them. Mind me asking what the size are on those?

BIG, I have a Camillus made version with "Remington" on it, same knife. It's one chunky knife. Over 4" closed and thick with the 2 blades and all.

Camillus used the same pattern for a "Wildlife" series.

I saw 300Bucks photos in Camillus forum and I liked them so much that I bought myself this knife too

.
Camillus made the #5754 large trapper pattern for the first time in January of 1972. Later Camillus made a lot of knives on this pattern including Buck and Remington.
In my collection this Buck is the fifth knife of 5754 pattern

I do not understand the name "Millinnium". Of what did this name?

It refers to the year 2000 and the turn of the century, in other words, "the new millinnium".

Ok, but I thought it must be "millennium" and in the letter "i" has a special meaning

.
Sorry, my English is very bad.

My mistake, the proper spelling is "millennium".

I tried for years to find one of those jumbo trappers,I finally gave up,always wanted one of them but it didn't happen.

Camillus was the best of the three large US Gov't knife producers. Camillus made excellent knives...RIP.
