That one is hard to find, Koldgold. Just last week 300bucks said he would like to see a photo of one.

Rare is as rare is.....
Ok, Lets clear up the 309, RARE, situation. I have not personally found these versions but the guru from long ago has them on his list. Do they exist I only think they do, I have not handled them or have a photo. Which I would appreciate a photo giving the person photo credit. Folks, there are 11 versions of 309s between 1971 and 1990. Here are the ones I have never seen. Start adding every year after that with the many different scale materials for a 'complete' collection.
1970 thru 1990 is my display collection I take to knife shows, I have empty spots for these. But, even if I could just get a good photo of one I would be able to use it for BCCI website history.
1. A OLD style 309, Camillus made, 1971, scales will have two rivets along with the rocker rivet, all brass; the tang will say - BUCK, Made in the U.S.A., will have two brass liners on one side, long blade pull. This should be the first 309 made.
2. A OLD style 309, Camillus made, 1972 - 1974, tang stamped BUCK, Made In U.S.A., no scale rivets, long blade pull, BUT EZ open notch on top of reverse scale. I have this version but with no EZ open notch. (You can find the one that the tang says, BUCK, 309, U.S.A. with EZ open notch also, the difference is in the way the tang is stamped)
3. A NEW style 309, BUCK made, 1985, NO scale rivets only one brass rocker rivet; tang will say BUCK, 309, U.S.A. , NO date code, will have the printed BUCK on the escutcheon plate. (These no date code versions with BUCK escutcheon were Bucks first production)
4. Now while we are all thinking about 309s , find a red sawcut scale 309, all I have ever seen are smooth scales...
Hope this gets everyone on the same wave length. Like I said, if you own one I would appreciate a decent photo. If I get the photos of them all, I will go ahead and write a history for the BCCI website, giving you photo credit.
Don't get rare knife big dollars signs in your eyes. Even these are still a $30 knife, maybe a hair more for Mint in the Box. All I can end with is, I am not holding my breath.......
