It's all about being in the right place at just the right time.

I bought both at the same stop.
 
Well,

You have actually got a Buck "Clipper" a sort of variation of the 305. They came in six different scale colors/materials. You want the pink or purple or jigged bone version next....?

There are two versions of the black scale, the scissors make them different. The end of production versions with the 'Wenger' labeled scissors are the rarest of the two. The purple scale is the hardest to find. The difference in the reds is that one is smooth scale and one is sawcut.

Jose, Your 136 Honemaster came out in the mid 70's . The first one were stamped "patent pending" . After the patent was awarded to Buck they were stamped like yours with the patent number . So, yours could be from 1978 or after . DM

The guy I bought it from thinks he got it around 1980, and he never used it.

Thanks for the info David.
