Tiny tool, about the size of my extended little finger when all closed up, and unique swiveling handles, each with its own pivot. The tools are useful: Needle nose pliers (no wire cutter edge, however), sharp pointy knife blade, tweezers, very small flat-blade screwdriver, cap lifter :), nail file/cleaner, scale in cm and in, lanyard loop and it is magnetic.

1.10 ounce (31.1 grams), 2 5/8 inches closed, 3 7/8 inches as pliers and 1 9/16" blade length (you can get a proper death grip by extending the other handle behind the handle housing the knife).

I missed these Buck multi-tools when they were readily available. This little guy makes me want the full-sized 360 so I'll beat the bushes and see what I can find.

Thank you for looking.

I bought one when they first came out it is a great tool. So small as not to notice, large enough for what it is. When I heard they had been discoed I bought like six more. I gave one to my wife. She really likes it. I think I gave her dad one also. I gave one to her grampa, although he regifted back to us at some point. Not sure if he had a dexterity problem with it, or that If you just about never leave the house you have access to full tools. The tweezers are thicker on the original for what its worth. good stuff.
 
Pretty cool. Didn't know there were such a thing until just now.
 
Oregon, Nice photos.
How about the next size up? Here's a First Production run 355 Buck Lite Tool. DM

I haven't had time to look for them yet, for I can take some new pics of them... Anyway here's an old picture of some of them... Longbow has a nice collection of them too... ITE

To my mind, Buck's fantastic legacy product line of no-longer-produced-tools could fill the Library of Congress and thereby be a focus of my interest for many years to come. Buck has created much depth of cool stuff over the decades. That thrill of discovery is still just over the horizon and waiting patiently for many of us.

Great photo Desert Dave. OK, okay. So there is the 350, 355 and 360. Three models. Just three. However, there are variation within these three model numbers with various unique tool combinations! Collecting fun, oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Just see Longbow's big list of variants within the Buck multi-tool line.
 
Aaaaaoooooohhhhhhh!!! The collecting hounds howled out loud from hilltop to valley far and wide.

You are showing 21 fine Bucktools there. WOW! If they could talk what stories would they reveal...

Thank you for the photo. That is something that will keep me going all day :).

Thank you for the kind words Stumps. The camera loves these Bucktools. And, everyone should have some of these in handy places on the ready line. Everyone.
 
OK you guys.

I am throwing down the guantlet.........get your tool act together. Get some info from catalogs, etc. and lets have a nice thread where you show a couple of pictures of each model/version and some description details. Time is passing lets get this info in writing. Afterwards we can get it on the BCCI history site.
Come on now, cold weather approaching and you will be inside more at night.........guantlet thrown......I will be back you can't escape...........My help is offered also........This goes for Longbow too..............300Bucks
 
Here is a complete 360 BuckTool Workman NIB with sheath and papers.

I don't know much about these. I bought six of them just like this quite some time ago and put them away. I have others that I use...some 360's, 355's and 350's.
 
Thats what I am talking about. Now we just need a little research to know when they started and when they were discontinued. Also carefully check for design changes during the time of production............I realize that is going to take some communication among the guys that collect these. But somebody has to start. I guess you call the three notches in the one blade as wire stripping notches in three sizes.......300

I went and checked the other five 360 NIB I have and found a difference in four of them. I will try to post more pictures later tomorrow. I have been busy painting my house for about a week and a half and can see the end in sight....maybe Wednesday I should be done.

I will look for the others I have after Thanksgiving and post some pictures here of those.

I don't remember who it was here, but someone had a bunch of different colored ones and a camo one. Maybe they will see this and post.
 
I have one, not a collection. However, it is a good tool and I like it a lot.

Looking forward to seeing others collections of these. Bummer that they are out of the line up now.
