300 Series Yellow Delrin

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

300 Series Yellow Delrin

Post by bertl »

Here are my 300 series sawcut yellow Delrin knives. On the left, top to bottom, are: 301, 303 Prototype, 303, 303, 305, 307 and 309. On the right are: 309, 313, 322, 329 and 332. I am still looking for a 331.

Very nice indeed! Hope you find that 331 - sometimes the last one is the toughest! OH

Very cool, Bert!

In what era were the yellow delrins made?

Bill,

The 301 and 303 were from 1988-1990; the 305 from 1988-1992; the 309 from1988-1991; and the 329 from 1988-1993. The 307, 313 and 322 were only in 1995, and the 331 and 332 were only in 1999.

Great knives! Are all of those made by Buck, or were any made by other makers like Camillus?

These are all Camillus contract knives and were sold by Smoky Mountain Knifeworks.
