Yeah the shield is neat,and I dont know if the covers came this color or was bleached. Either way I like them there's a bit of yellow in the jigging that doesn't show up as well in pics.Nice gift from obviously nice people. I love the shield.
That's a very cool little knife.I stopped by Cabelas this afternoon just to browse around a bit... I was looking for a Buck 303 Cadet, which they did not have. While looking through the drawer full of knives not out on display, the sales guy mentioned "this one is a whittler". I didn't know buck made a whittler.... it ended up following me home. It's not a bad looking little knife... a 310, black sawcut delrin, made in USA. Main is a clip, with a pen and coping for secondaries. It is a 3 full spring knife. All in all it is a very nice, tidy little whittler.
It also came with a cute little wooden box with a sliding lid to keep it in...
Thanks... I think I'm going to enjoy it. I'm pretty sure it's the 420HC steel that Buck uses, which is probably every bit as good as the Case TruSharp, which works very well for me.That's a very cool little knife.
I just ordered their Buck Solitaire. I'm excited to try their larger single blade pattern.I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with a Buck knife... and I really like their mission statement/policy.
I had to goober it... that is a nicely large knife... perhaps not quite as large as the Case full size trapper. I find that knife just teetering on the edge of "too big", even though it feels good... substantial.. in hand. I bet the Buck will be a winner. Keep us posted on your impressions of it..I just ordered their Buck Solitaire. I'm excited to try their larger single blade pattern.
Boss and her husband has been out of town over the weekend, they came home earlier and she gave me this. Apparently stopped at a pawn shop just to try to find one I'd like. Well I'm dang happy with it! My first mini trapper.
The Buck Knives 310 Whittler has been a special run for Bass Pro Shop for several years, I think Buck has dropped them out of their regular dealer catalog. Now that BPS owns Cabela’s I guess you can buy them there too (I wonder if they are still being made or if this is NOS?).Thanks... I think I'm going to enjoy it.

Very cool knife.... a little pricey, though....I never had a Swiss Army or Scout knife growing up in the 70’s and early 80’s. I think my dad thought they were too gimmicky. We had Case knives, Old Timers, Imperial jack knives, Queen Barlows, Buck stockman knives, and probably some others I don’t remember.
Anyway this Antonini electrician’s knife I just bought is the closest I have come to owning a cigar-shaped multipurpose type of thing. Under 15 bucks including shipping, new in its blister pack.

Blame @kamagong - he’s the one who started this. I’m glad he did, I like mine!I wish knives like this were more readily available. I'd settle for NOS.

That's a beauty!!!I've quietly wanted one of these ironwood 66's for a long time. Just the other day I was thinking I would recover a still in stock tortoise shell one for myself then this one popped up.
