What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[knarfeng]

The 300 series was truly at it's best back in the 90's.

I don't have enough Bucks to confirm or deny that. I have a set of four 300 knives with yellow Comfort Craft Delrin covers from about 2010 and each of them is perfect. I also had a pair of Black 301s, one of which has a proud rivet from ~2007. (I modified the rivet so it wasn't a bother and that's actually my favorite 301. I gave the other to a friend.) So maybe there is more variability in F&F, but it's really too small a sample for me to form an opinion. But I've not bought a 300 series in quite a few years. I'm not sure what the current F&F is like.

On the other hand, I really like the Edge 2000 blade profile on a working knife. It definitely holds an edge longer. So in that regard the modern Bucks are better.

In my experience the blades were more consistent, but I was just talking about the profile and blade grind that I prefer.
