Today,as well as yesterday and tomorrow,I'm carrying an old very early Buck 301.It has the long nail pull on the master blade.I found it as I stepped down from the truck in the lot at the Petro in Effingham,Il,about this time 4 years ago.It's still tight,with no side wobble in any of the blades,has full blades,no cracks or chips in the handles.It has a few sharpening scratches on the blades.I picked it up and took it inside the knife shop on my way in to eat that evening asked the man if he'd seen it before,he said he hadn't.So I left it with him while I went to eat,when I returned he'd cleaned it and had it shaving sharp.I've carried it ever since,and it stays shaving sharp.
