Loaned mine to a friend to clean up a Buck I just harvested on his ranch. My leg was dinged up so he field dressed it and cleaned it up for me. Liked my 317 so much for field dressing out a Deer he asked where he could get one. In a fit of stupidity, I gave him mine. Now I have to find another one. Anybody have one at a decent price? I know ebay has some but they are out of my price range. HELP!!!

Might pick up a Old Timer or Uncle Henry of the same style. If you have a big enough tear in your eye, I bet he'll trade.
When it comes to knives and guns, what does NEED have to do with it?

There are several Buck 317 knives for sale currently on E Bay. The prices and conditions vary.

The old Buck 317 (made by Camillus) seem to run around $100 in NOS condition. The Buck was a stainless steel knife, so you may try the current Case version - it's also stainless. http://www.casexx.com/Details/?ProductCode=189&Patid=21

Marble's still makes their large two blade folding hunter. Quality steel and edge holding capability are quite good; I really like my Marble's.
Buck 317 (used) knives typically sell for about $65.

Odessa,
Good suggestion on the Case and I really appreciate that link.
Gents,
The nice 317's that I have come across are selling for higher prices than stated here. On the other hand being in the right place at the right time is an advantage.

Get the Case folding hunter with the CV {chrome vanadium} steel blades. It will hold an edge longer than the stainless version or the Buck.
