307 stockman bought in Big Bear on sale wore out a lot of my jeans front pockets then I switched to a 703. I think that Big Bear sporting goods store collapsed in a earthquake about 1992 but I haven't been back to know for sure.
Broke one of the 703's, a splitting a deer brisket that I shouldn't have been doing but forgot the 110 on the pickup dash, and one cutting out an elk ivory.
It wasn't so much misuse of the knife I just lost my balance standing on a stool with the knife tip to about the bottom of that ivory root and I didn't let go of the knife quick enough.
Sent both to Buck explaining exactly how I had broken them, that is was my fault, could they fix or put in a new blade.
They sent me a brand new knife both times, that company has 110% and above customer service.
