Timetable for production of US-made 37x?

[Sword and Shield]

All politics aside, how long will it take to start seeing the first US-made 37x series? I'd like to wrap my fingers around a 371.

As an aside, has Buck ever made a larger stockman? I tend to roll large- my EDC is a 4 1/4" Case large stockman in CV, but I may be able to adapt to 3 7/8".

Yep, they used to make (contract from Camillus actually) the 307 Wrangler, a 4 1/4" jumbo stockman.

They are on Ebay literally everyday, often NIB, especially since the Camillus auction, there has been a tidalwave of them, one seller was listing 75 NIB recently.

The comment was made during the factory tour that they intended to bring production home, but no timeline was given. The machine is relatively new and I would imagine that they would have to set it up for 3xx production as well as let the current contract run out. I have no idea how that translates to timeline, just my guess.

Yeah a large 307 would cut a Case stockman plum in half.

I'd hope fairly soon- I've an itch for a redwood 301.
