The Buck 381 Trapper (imported) is an interesting one in that, for what I know, it has never been sold separately. I have only found them in combo gift tins. It is smaller than the 382 but larger than the 380 trappers. I've included some pictures to illustrate this. I have compiled a list of all the 381s I've found (see below):

Jamal, where are you finding all this information? The only 2 I know I have for sure is the CMBOTSS and CMBOWM87.
I thought I was doing better than that.

I collect the combo gift tins. I have about 120 unique ones. But for all the lists I do, I look at the Buck catalog, the special projects list, and Worthpoint. I also look at the newsletters. For the 381, I didn't bother with the first two and just used Worthpoint. This involves painstakingly examining each entry in the search. It can be 1000s of things to look at. I publish the list and get input from others. For example, on the 389 list, the jigged blue one doesn't show up anywhere. But you have one. Therefore, they exist. I have to make a determination whether it was a private custom. If I think it is, I'll either make a note questioning it as a custom or just omit it. Since your blue jigged was similar to the red and orange jigged, I am deeming it not to be a custom.

So, on this list, maybe someone will respond by saying, "Hey, you forgot the yellow one.". Then I'll consider adding it.

I don't have necessarily have all the knives on these lists. I'm making the lists to see what I am missing.

I also collect the combo sets that are not with gift tins but haven't done a real thorough job in figuring out what I am missing, iike I did with the gift tin ones. Even so, every once in awhile, I come across another gift tin that I didn't know existed. I am missing about 10 gift tins that I know of. But I estimate there might be another 20 missing that I don't know about. I suspect that a lot of the ones that I am missing but don't know about might have been marketed in Canada, for places like Canadian Tire

I wish I could just get a list from Buck for everything they produced.
