This is my very first Buck knife bought new in 1969 or 1970. My plan was to buy a 110, but when I saw the 119 for the same price, I couldn't resist:D

Back then my buddies and I spent a LOT of time 4-wheelin, camping, shooting, etc., and I used this knife pretty hard. Where we made a campsite, there was a huge old dead tree, we scratched a target into the trunk, and threw our knives at it! That had caused some hairline cracks in the black phenolic handle.

When I found bladeforums and the Buck forum, I emailed Joe Houser regarding getting the handle repaired. I inquired about getting a piece of stag instead of the phenolic and this is how the knife came back:D

The drop point 111 compares a lot more to the other "classics".

Thanks for looking.

Best,

Heres my contribution :D
Thank you for the fantastic knife Dave! I used it alot yesterday cleaning up the garage and basement after all the rain and that Sandvik is some great stuff! :thumbup: I absolutely love the new shift mechanism! The Paradigm is a hit with me! ;) Same exact ergos and shape as the Vantage, but assisted! Great blade!

Here is the ultimate 903. It's got a brass topped MP blade, and stag shoes, #60 out of 100 made. This is a hard one to photograph as it's so reflective!

This Buck 110 is wearing Graveyard Point Plume Agate scales. This stone was mined decades ago and is some of the best ever found. It is still being found but not with the patterns shown on this knife.

gotta remember to close the gate.
 
Buck Workman came in several models. ITEs 303 are a couple of the earliest made for that series. Workman named the 303 the Multi-300, the 309 the Multi-200 and the 305 Multi-100. They came in clam packs and boxes. And the blades pad print came in two styles.

The ealiest I am showing is 1987 - 305 but the first mention I can find in a catalog is 1991. The newest I have is a 1996 303 with black scales. No mention of Workmen after the 1997 catalog price list.
I think the Workman models were a attempt to enter the lumber yard and appliance parts suppliers maybe to compete with the likes of Klien Tools. I have kept no records but my gut feeling is the 303 is the most poplar Workman of the Multi numbered series.

If you think this sounds like part of my 300 seminar, you are right on. Nice scales 2Many.....
