Nice! I've always liked how Buck handled bone. That's a really great example.

I really love the brass and rosewood, I sure wish these had been offered in the 90's because the late 90's blades are probably my favorite.

This was my grandpa's 305. He was a pastor his whole life and only carried tiny little knives. The shield was gone long before I inherited it. I'd like to find one someday, so I can make it "whole" again.

That's a much loved knife, for sure! Does the long nail nick indicate it was a Camillus made Buck? I can see you putting a shield in there with Grandpa's initials engraved, small as they'd be.

That's a really great idea! I have some sterling silver plate I could make the shield out of. I would just need to find a jeweler or someone like that who did engraving that small. As to the original maker, someone more educated on Buck than me will need to chime in on that one. I had always assumed it was Camillus since it looked so similar to my 301 of that era.

The swedge and long nail pull make it a Camillus product for sure.

This example happens to be a workman series, but being 1986 dated is indicative of what the 1st Buck made 305's looked like blade wise.
