David Martin article in BCCI....

Thank you jbmonkey. You guys are just great to be a partner with in collecting Bucks. You all know this is one of my favorite models so, it was natural for me to write about it. The bottom parts knife came from Stumps and the other 2 I got from Larry O.. It sure is good to pass
the time with you on the long hours of winter darkness. See you later, Amigos

That's correct. My wife is on the growl. I had summer sausage, cheese and crackers for lunch today, while she watched them playing poorly. Shhh. DM

gsea, I don't mind, I put my findings down already. So, thanks for posting. The front bolster on your 334 looks polished. Did you find it
in this condition? Mine needed some work. DM
 
You can see on gsea's 334 Trapper the entire knife is held together with 2 pins; the pocket pin ( which we call the pivot pin) and the middle
handle pin. Hence, notice it has a larger head. Then the sleeve for the lanyard hole is made with a rolled lip on it which acts as a holding pin for the rear of the knife. None of the other pins extend through the knife, they function to hold the slabs on. Which there are 2 of these
on each side. So, this model has 3 pins that extend through and 4 handle pins. Not much to it. The 110 is made in the same format but
usually with 2 in the rear. DM
 
Gedd, thank you for this encouragement. Ok, I've got to remember, a Baby Brandy doll, a pog-go stick, a saddle blanket for Chester and help my baby brother get well. I wish you gents could have heard what the kids ask for. I thought it would be easy, -- just ask them what they want for Christmas. But I went home with a knot in my throat. DM
 
wonder if buck could make one of these 334 or the 317 today, and have it financially make sense to do it? I'm leaning towards no or they would already be doing it. course I have no idear. seems to be a market for these least in the collectible side of the old camillus made ones. see some high dollars for what they are.

we know the original tooling was camillus and it's at bear and son or somewhere else now and likely in poor shape, but who knows?

no idear what it would cost buck to buy tooling like this to do it. I dont expect it would be cheap though. I wonder if we'll ever see an American made version of these long gones ever again.......

then again maybe the collectors would prefer we dont, so the values and rarities stay high on them?

others thoughts? thanks.....
 
As a 317 collector I would love to see a modern version. Upgraded steel, maybe a few LE etc.. Case sells there version still (6265) and seems to do quiet well with them. But they are an old school knife and everyone wants the new stuff these days. I personally think they are one of the most versatile knife models. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting
