One of my outdoorsman uncles gave that to me.

I occasionally find shed's when I'm bird hunting, but I just don't have the heart to cut them up.

Here are a few Buck 303's. This is the next size down from the 301. The bottom one is a 67-70 Schrade. While the Schrade made knives may not have had the durability, the fit and finish was second to none. The middle one is from 1987, which is an earlier, in-house Buck. It's a little clunky and doesn't have the smooth rounded finish as the Camillus and Schrade knives did. But it's very stout. This one has four brass liners, a nail nick, instead of the long pull and the dreaded BUCK shield, which after many complaints was replaced after a couple years back to the 'hammer on blade through a bolt' shield. The top knife is from 2011 and of course is an in-house knife. Note the hollow ground blades and rather interesting to me is the lack of liners, but three back springs instead of the traditional two. It's chunky, but honestly a well built knife.

Who'z yer DADDY? The biggest in the 300 series, this 307 Wrangler from the Camillus era is a monster. For some reason, someone at Buck Knives thought the world needed a huge stockman. I don't think we did, but i'm not complaining. Shown next to a previously posted 112. Documents show that this knife was originally produced in 1971 and was available up to the 90s.

Some Buck oddities. The top knife, a 425 Bucklite from the 90s is most likely Buck's answer to the Gerber LST (more on that later), and the bottom is the "Swiss Buck", made during the 90s. They had Wenger (now absorbed by Victorinox 
) make many different models including this "Globetrotter".

I've been considering that grinder attachment. Are you happy with it?

The venerable Buck 110 - Beloved by bikers, hippies, ranchers, soldiers, sailors, serial killers and even hunters. Beefy, solid and locks up like a vault. Heavy, so heavy, the 110 came out in 1964 and put Buck on the map. Often referred to as a "Buck knife", a term like Kleenex and Band-Aid, describing any large, brass body lock-back. Even if it wasn't a Buck (Looking at you Schrade). Although it is first in mind, it wasn't the first of its kind. It has been suggested that German maker's like Puma and Boker should take that credit, but when the millionth Buck 110 was produced in 2010 (just a year after this specific knife was made), one can't ignore the fact that it was and still is an amazing knife. The fact that Buck has its "Forever Warranty", doesn't hurt either.
when I was on the harbormaster staff at Pillar Point Harbor in my early 20's pretty sure every one of us carried a 110. So damn bulletproof it could be used as a small hammer if need be.

The Bucks stop here 
. I've had others, including a 119, 103, 500, 501 and some more 300 series, but in spite of what it looks like, I purge every now and then. In fact, I sell more knives than I buy these days.
This is the biggest fixed blade in Buck's line up, just edging out the 124. The Buck 120 General at 12" long. For the sake of comparison, the Schrade Old Timer 165 Woodsman is 9 and 5/8". Strangely, the Buck is over a half ounce lighter. They market the General as a large game knife or 'collectible', however in 2001 (I think) they stopped production of this knife due to complaints of it being too big. It took 10 years before they reintroduced it. Mine was produced probably in the late 70s to early 80s.
