For todays show, lets check out a couple of the 311 Slim Trappers. This 300 series Buck folder was made only on contract by Camillus from 1972 -1990. It is modeled after Camillus's own verion of the same and follows the shape and design of a similar Case knife among others. The slim trapper was desired by trappers for skinning small furbearers and makes a nice fruit knife as well (not usually at the same time). And as I understand it was favored by Bayou muskrat trappers of the south, along with the 313. There are two common 311 models, with tang stamps that read: BUCK, Made In U.S.A. (311 on reverse) and BUCK, 311, U.S.A.. A yellow scaled model may have been made in very limited numbers but I have never seen one.
BUT, there are three rare variations that can be found once in a great while. A very few first run models have scale rivets, I have seen one and have it. The two other variations I show to you today are a serrated secondary blade version and a model with a hidden production addition that was introuduced near the end of this models life. 300Bucks

"First" model 311 with scale rivets and Made In U.S.A. tang stamp.

The tang stamps on the latter models are generally similar, the size of the 311 stamp may vary slightly from old to new. The older being slightly larger. The long thin blades are made for cutting and NOT prying.

The serrated blade version is very lightly done.

I do not believe the serrated secondary blade and this variation ever overlapped, that is you won't find them on the same knife. Toward the end of its production life the standard 311 was outfitted with nylon bumpers in the blade well. The nylon "plug" was inserted through a hole in center brass spacer during assembly. The tips of the blades actually rested on the nylon cylinder. Here you can see it about a half inch from the end of the blade well.

I have never seen a copy of the production order for this change, but if you look in the 311 version made previous to this addition you will see scratches in the blade well from the blades tips. Here you can see how the blades have cut into the bumpers.

This Buck 110 was given to me by my grandfather, the edge retention is really something in this knife. I enjoy taking this one to the woods for some quality hunting time.

This 112 is a greenhorn to my pocket, but I'm hoping to get some skinning time into the blade.

I got this 301 on trade and can't get it out of my pocket, it's a great knife and the size is very pocketable. I'll enjoy sitting with this knife waiting for one of those tree rats to make a mistake.

I have to agree with you about that, it being just about the best etched blade I have. Mine is just one number lower (854/1000) but has a blade with a year mark a year newer than yours. Remember, we had quite a thread discussion about that?

Soon I'll have more to show. Besides the 110 that's in the mail to me right now, we have another one in the planning stages and she's doing a white bone 500 for Russ Donoghue right now. I hope to have pictures of it also when it's done.
 
Another great SPS, that 4 color etched 110 is always a favorite. They must have been super expensive to produce, as I don't recall any other knife w/a 4 color etch.
I just picked up this stag 110. I'm thinking 1982...hand radiused frame, except thumb depression, 4 dot blade, and I think 1982 was the 1st year for this custom sheath. The big box is rare, and has factory "Stag 110" stickers on each end.

David, the 119 has a 1996 date stamp on it and was one of three I believe called the "Predator" series. It's not in the '96 catalog, I think they must have been in a separate catalog flyer or something like the "Native American" series 110's were.

Here's a link to a pretty in depth thread about the four color etched Eagle 110. There's just a little mystery with them.
