The Sunday Picture Show (March 1, 2026)

As discussed in another, dedicated, thread about the new 301/303's, it had some problems. Primarily that the spey couldn't be opened without opening the sheepsfoot first. Others sent theirs in and Buck fixed them

I love my new 301. Nearly everything about it is just right.

921 Skinner.
Probably a Joe Houser knife before he retired.

I finally realized why I was not sure. The clip throws me.
I'm thinking of the 921, 923, 925 series as drop points.

Good to know that Buck got it sorted

These were a very generous gift from FranklinG a couple years ago.
If I remember correctly I was expecting the yellow 305 , but not the red clipper.
They're quite a neat knife

They have made it in the past,as well as the 117.

A cocobolo and aluminum 420hc 118?

I bought this new version 301 because it was red. Seriously, I don't need much of an excuse. Ok, I don't need any excuse

Others sent theirs in and Buck fixed them I took a diamond hone to mine and now it works OK. This one has been next to my La-Z-Boy and gets used frequently for light duty. I like the plastic handle, It has a nice feel to it. Not too slick.

Mine had the same problem so I used a dremel tool to grind then polish the spey so that it no longer rubbed. I think it turned out nice, almost more polished/nicer than the other blades.
