Buck 380 Mini Trapper (imported) List

[Happy Hippo]

The Buck 380 is a minitrapper. Probably the most ubiquitous version is the NRA one, as that shows up in auction a lot. I was surprised by how many versions I discovered. Two of them are in combo knife gift tins. It looks like the blades were only made in 2006/2007 but used later, like in the 2015 gift tin. They are in the catalog from 2007 to 2009, but I'm not sure if there are any 2008 or 2009 tang stamps. There isn't much info about them. They were introduced in the catalog as 380BRW, with 420HC steel in 2007. In 2008, the part number changed to 380BRS, with 420J2 steel. In 2010, they disappeared from the catalog. What I'm not sure of is are the 2006 ones 420HC and the 2007 ones 420J2?

I've seen that several times on the ChinaBucks. Always assumed it was a marketing typo error.
