Just a little word about my new (to me) Buck 303 I believe this is a Camillus made 303. it has a long pull.
Fantastic knife. Fells very small in the hand but I think that is just me being daft. I am used to handling larger knives. Even in the sense of a SAK if feels small but I think that is due to the thinner looking blade. I have a 301 in the states waiting to be posted for me which I am told is a beast so i am looking forward to giving that a try. On the 303 front it is definitely UK legal so I can see that getting carried alot in the future. Judging by the condition the knife is in for the age of it it will last forever and will definitely be a keeper and a one for me to hand down.
On a sadder front it would appear the 110 I bought from the states has been snagged by Customs. Which is a total nightmare as I was really looking forward to owning one again. it arrived in England on the 30/11/2016 and is still in London which is never a good sign. I am just waiting for the letter to say it has be confiscated. I know they think they are just doing their job but if they don't know s**t about knives they shouldn't be allowed to make the choice to confiscate them.
On the 334 hunt I am glad to say I have managed to locate and buy 4. Purchased them from a unicorn in lala land. No seriously I wish I had been able to bid for the one on Ebay. Just what I wanted and now I can't find a black handled one anywhere. Money is burning a hole in my pocket ha ha. Fingers crossed another will turn up. SOON.
Anyway just an update. I am hoping to purchase a few more buck knives in the future and to be quite active on the Buck Knives forum.
PS I have a rust cap on the way to. Bucks everywhere ha ha.
