BUCK 371 aka the Wal-Mart Special model or China Buck

I cut up 2 recliner boxes with my sheep foot blade and it had to be touched up on my Lanskey Crock Sticks.
 
Wiped it down and hit the blades 3 times on the Lanskey Crock Sticks and stropped the blade on the leather, a drop of Rem oil and put it up for now.
 
Worked it 2 weeks in a row since last report. Cardboard seems to dull it faster than anything else I use it on.

The 371 I had (the truck's poltergeist ate it) gave me no problems during the 4 months I carried it. A few swipes on the strop was all it ever needed.
The blades all had good walk and talk, and around a 5 1/2 pull on all the blades. It was just a little stiffer than my 301 to open.
Mine was the black and blue G-10 version.
I'd love to get another, but it seems no one has it any more.
 
Still pretty good bang for the Buck... 420j isn't the greatest blade steel as far as edge-holding, but it will do fine for a lot of daily chores.
 
Dead headed some Roses with it and cut some grass and weeds in the flower bed!

Bought a jigged bone 371 at Wally's a couple weeks ago.
I missed carrying a stockman.
So far, no problems. Seems every bit as good as the black and blue G-10 barehead 371 I had.
Blades all have about the same 5 1/2 pull, and no blade rub or wiggle. No gaps. The amber bone is pretty even on both sides, too.
