These are coming from Olde Cutler's recent sale here.
Buck 301 beater with wood scales. I have a Delrin 1992 301, but I don't carry it. It was a Christmas gift to employees of Pounding Mill Quarry, a local business, in 1993 (etched with a dragline shovel and "PMQC 1993"). I wanted one I could use, and use hard, and not baby. At $15, this was just what the job required. The fun fact was that I paid $15 also for the never-carried or used, practically new 1992 3-4 years ago, and I know I really underpaid. All the other knives were broken $5 new import junk in that pawn shop's cabinet, and the guy wanted the SAME price for all of them.
A buddy of mine and I have gotten together, and we're raising some beef cattle. I'm just helping out with the fencing work we're doing in the next few weeks to prepare, but caring for the livestock will mostly be my responsibility. I live here on the farm with my grandparents--he's got a family of his own, helps his dad out with his well-drilling business, and has a full-time job on top of that. This will be my work knife for that job. I want something reliable, modern production, and tough. I've been retiring the bulk of my halfway-decent Camillus, Schrade, and Queen users (except for Big Chiefs). The Buck 301 meets all that criterion.
Rigid Japan RG-51. Some time ago, a guy on eBay had a huge amount of NOS Rigids for dirt cheap prices, including an RG-51 ($30). Seems this was not a popular model, and once he sold out, I only saw expensive examples. Basically, the RG-51 is a handyman's knife/multitool. In addition to a one-hand opening drop-point blade, there is a short serrated Wharncliffe blade. But, there's also tools built into the pocket clip, which rotates out to form a tool. A plastic cover comes off to reveal three wrenches, wire strippers, and a screwdriver tip. It's such a weird knife, I had to finally get one at just $20.
