New 301's, not so happy

Just FYI to STDKs comment, Camillus made most of those Craftsman knives, and are well spoken of over in the Traditional forum. But, they do follow some in those footsteps. I think pocketknife users(vs Buck Nuts) like there looks, as being different from what they think of as a Buck pocket knife....i.e. Black Sawcut.

I think what's happening is we are getting a 300 with different look, but it is within the manufacturing scheme of the Buck production lines. If this model sells decently maybe they will be able push on for a nice jigged bone. I would also think that a fancy steel bladed 300 would at least set we Buckaroos singing like a lark. S30v would be OK as would D2. I personally would like to see the shield size reduced down a hair to better fit the proportions of the knifes scale. And you have heard me wish for a two blade 301 or the replacement of the spey blade with a warcliff. Wild thoughts at the end of a spring day. 300

Jigged bone like this


How about a swiss army Buck for hunters.

I like the pattern on the bottom knife you show. I carried one for years. Then gave each one of my girls one as their first knife. A S.A. brand. The main blade locked. DM
 
I agree with 300Bucks that the shield is too large. I also think that the blue background should be changed to a more neutral color. It distracts from the aesthetic of the knife.

One of those would always be in my pocket!! I wouldn't need everything a SAK Farmer has...I would be happy with just the main blade and the saw blade.

I bought a Puma 971 a while back with a 60% main blade, but an excellent saw blade in the hopes of someday figuring out how I can mate the saw blade onto a Buck 110 for woods carry. I could easily forget that craziness if there was a 301 or 307 sized knife like in your picture.

Can't I dream out loud?? :)
 
I really like that Buck has started to dress up the 300 series, I to would love to see Buck release some in some nice jigged bone. My dream buck would be a 303 2 bladed Jack in jigged Redbone. But any that 300Bucks mentioned would be nice also.
