Paperstone / Ecolite Info

[bucksway]

I really like the shieth!

I thought I'd start a thread to consolidate information on Buck's Paperstone handle material.

@plb bucksway you had posted some info in the 'newest buck knife' thread - would you mind reposting here?

Here's some old threads on the subject:

I have three oddities in Paperstone; 301, 303, and 305 all 2008.

I believe they are prototypes. Are y’all aware of any of these being commercially available?

Do you have any photos? These were in the 2010 dealer's catalog but have 2009 tang stamps. Note that the lighting is funny. They're all the same color, but look slightly different in this photo.

It'd be great if Buck brought Paperstone back as an option for the 300's.

I have the maroon and green paperstone 112s, and the green Boone & Crockett 301.

I do have pictures but don’t know how to insert or attach them here.

H HerringtonKevin74 I'm far from the most knowledgeable one here, but those are completely new to me. They look incredible! It seems like the maroon paperstone was used for more than just the 110/112's.

hhmoore that 301 is such a great knife! I really need to look for a paperstone 112.

Buck Knives Inc. do you have any insight on these paperstone 300's? Or when we might see them back in production???

If I could have found somebody willing to do a blade delete, it would likely live in my pocket rather than in its box.

I picked up one of the Shockley 112s off the 'bay. It's seen some use and missing the sheath but still makes a good addition to the collection.

In about 2009, Buck did a couple of sets for Boone & Crockett in green Paperstone. I have the 303 and 309. I think the other set was 301 and 309, but I'm not sure.

I think the 301 was by itself.

In my collection of 112 build outs, I need BO5, which is black paperstone. Problem is, the only way I would be able to discern it from some other black paperstone release is by having the box. Have not found one yet.

I have a BCCI 112 in grass green paperstone.

 

[AR-Trvlr]

I found a 110 with paperstone scales on the 'bay - 0110RDSCC-B was a 2010 Limited Edition for BCCI, 125 produced. The COA identifies it as "plum paperstone"

Is that the correct knife for the description? The scales look like micarta to me?

Yup, it is Micarta. I mislabeled that one. I am a filthy liar! That 110 Plum Paperstone has a 112 counterpart but they call it Cabernet Paperstone. As does the Green Micarta 112 I showed with its 110 counterpart. I kinda like the 110/112 pairs from BCCI. I have several of those type of pairs.
