Buck (pre-110) Folding Hunter Question

[afishhunter]

What was the model number of Buck's 1 and 2 blade slipjoint folding hunter knives?

Were they made in-house, or were they a contract knife by Schrade/Camillus or someone else?

The two bladed is the 317... https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/buck-camillus-317.1525078/

Don't recall a single bladed one from Buck.

I'm a little confused. Are you asking about a pre-110 folding hunter—prior to 1964—or about something like the Camillus 317, which started in 1972?

I know the pre 1964 Buck 110 was a fixed blade with a similar profile to the current 103.

I thought Buck had a two blade folding hunter pre 1964 like that sold by Case, the various Imperial-Schrade brands, and their other competitors..
I guess I was mistaken. (not the first, nor likely the last time, s'long as my fever is above room temperature ...)

2 blade slip joint model 317 Trailblazer. 1972 to 1989 Mfg by Camillus.


I can not think of a single blade slip joint Folding Hunter
The rare and obsolete 117 from the 1940's was a WWII surplus knife rebladed by Buck.

One of my favorite patterns. I never bought a 317, because I feel they sell for more than I want to pay. Camillus made them, and I already had a Camillus. It is an interesting pattern made by everyone they are all nice, but all different.
My favorite is the Western on top, it is sleeker than the others. Plus it was my Dads. The Frontier under it was my Grandfather’s.

And yet with two blades they are more versitle than a solo blade, too.
