Greetings,
i"ve been reading these posts for quite some time now , i must say that I truly admire the character of the folks here on this Buck forum. Also I believe an introduction is in order. my name is Troy, i live in northern california.
Love my wife and children, fishing and my collection of knives. ran the gauntlet of one handed knives and find myself more at home with a pocketknife. my grandfather ALWAYS had his Buck 309 with him and it never failed him, ever!
whatever needed fixing his buck fixed, his son, my uncle also carried a buck 309 for as long as i can remember. Now on to me, i have a varied assortment of traditional pocket knives that i enjoy carrying, however i always come back to my buck, partly because of the company values but more so i believe because grandpa always carried one. if it was good enough for him it is certainly good enough for me. thanks for letting me ramble

Glad to have you among the Buck clan here Troy - got a picture of those 309's? (That almost sounds like a Beach Boys song!) OH
 
holder, welcome to the Buck Forum. I visit several forums and I think this is the best one.
Thank you for respecting (I can tell) your Grandfather. I know some men who don't. There are some guys here who know your model and can give you details about it. Hope you enjoy your visits here. DM
 
Welcome Troy. There are some wonderful people here. It does not matter if you are fairly uninformed (me) or very knowledgeable (many), you will find your friendly input welcome. I think that the forum reflects the Buck family. I say this, not because I have ever met any of them, but the testimony they used to add to their knives and their family friendly stance and quality of products and service. Enjoy your time, here.
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome
it's nice to be among polite and respectful people at a time when the world seems to be a bit off camber.
not sure what happened to grandpas 309. i believe my older brother might have it. to date I have 1-110/2-112/ a Buck tom mayo, not sure the model number/ a 301/303 which by the way IS probably the closest thing to perfection for my daily tasks as this one is always on me.
thanks again folks
Troy
