Buck 321

Does anyone know if the Camillus made Wilderness Series (#17, Mallard) is the same knife as the Buck 321? It has the same gut hook and blade configuration

The Buck 321 was made for Buck by Camillus and the American Wildlife #17 was marketed under their own name. They appear to have the same blades, biggest difference I see is square bolsters on the Buck and rounded Bolsters on the Camillus. I’d say it certainly possible that they share the same blades, maybe the same liners too. OH
Ps. There is a Western Bird Knife out there that is identical to the Camillus except for markings, as Camillus owned Western by that time it is certain to be the same knife.
