Hello there. I'm looking for a traditional style buck with wood hanldes, s30v bos treated sub3" blade with some kind of locking mechanism. Is there any that fit the bill? Thanks.

You could have a customizer take off the G-10 (but why would you want to?) and replace it with wood scales, I guess.

It's just a matter of personal preferences and what you like. The G-10 handles are the main reason I haven't bought any of that series. I just don't like it and if they came in wood, I'd have one of each.

I prefer wood to G-10, it's just that personally I don't like cannibalizing a knife unless the results were far superior, like a fine or exotic wood, or Redrummd's fine stone work, but then it wouldn't likely be a user. Yes, I'm just stating my personal opinion. I'd like to see those options in the custom shop, actually. :)
 
Thanks.Does anyone have a link or specs of the 342? I couldn't find anything on google. I'd prefer wood but the g10 is kind of interesting.

I think it will be in the new catalog. I'll tell ya, tomorrow morning I'm calling Buck Knives to ask them to send me one. Their 800 number is on their website main page at the bottom.
 
I just called Buck this morning and was told to call back in 2 weeks for the 2010 catalog. I guess there are advantages to being in the BCCI.
