Buck Knives "Handcrafted"

300Bucks said:
Old contract 300s were carried in wire mesh trays from work bench to work bench. One person would put most of it together and hand grind the scale edges, buff the ends and other parts. Blades were stamped out, nics stamped or ground in latter models and blades pinned by a hand hammer. But, blades were buffed and sharpened by hand. Even though some parts were purchased from a contract, lets say brass liners, enough work went into them to be hand crafted, usually by one person then stacked in a tray to go to inspection and shipping. (That's why you see some small variations) Buck started in house 300s almost down at that level, but has embraced contracting out parts and automatic processes when possible. Human USA hands do lots of work on them so lets call the ones stamped USA hand crafted here. 300

You're correct, 300. Buck was using "hand crafted" in their ads for contract knives as well.
