greetings all
today at work one of my co-workers who knows i am a knife-nut said hey i brought this in for you to see. he took out a buck and right off i knew it was one of the older ones. so he handed me this never before used buck 307, wow is this one big,bigger than the 301, so i thoroughly looked it over and told him if he ever decided to sell i would be the first buyer. he said he bought it several years ago and it has been in a box for the last 8 yrs, he checked the auction site to get a price and asked if i would pay $25.00 i politely told him no however i would give him $40.00. he told me he doesn't remember what he paid and said it would probably go back in the box. so instead it came home with me, brand new 307 for 40 oh happy days. i think schrade or camillus made about the 70s. i know, picture or it didn't happen but i don't know how to do pics

Camillus made the knives. Here's some info on how to figure out the date of manufacture...

Oldest usually have tangs marked, Made In USA, long pulls, with model number on back of clip blade (1971-74), Middle age ( 1974-88) have tang marked Buck, 3XX, U.S.A., with BUCK shields only from 85 to 89. The last ones (89 - 98) are marked Buck,3XX, U.S.A. With a knife bolt and hammer shield, also long pull. Blades were always ground flat, even into late production.
The 307 was dropped from production in late 90's, the big four, 301,303,309 and 305 continued on. It was always a Camillus made contract knife. Steel likely 440A. For those that like BIG stockmen folders it fits the bill. One of the rarest forms was a yellow scale from the very end of its production life.
