Is there any official word on Buck slipjoint production

[Hickory n steel]

I've heard they're just retooling or something, but is this just hearsay ?

Are models like the 302 309 and 305 gone for good or will the return ?

I’ve been patiently waiting myself to see the rest of the 300 series returning to in house production in Post Falls. The 303 and 301 are still current. I’ve been looking for trapper patterns and hopefully some different handle materials and colors like the new sunset jigged bone that the 500 series has in the custom shop.

   The 300 series is being re-tooled and will be back at some point.

I just received a like new 309 I bought off eBay and just bought a good condition 305 off eBay , I'd rather have bought them new and am certainly waiting for Buck to start making them again.

Awesome thanks, I'm glad to know they will return.
Hopefully the 306 duet is included in this.
