None of these have been carried or used
Buck 319 "Rancher"; 3 7/8", Cip, Spey, Awl, new with box.
Buck 111; '3 dots' early 1980's; 4 7/8"
Buck 307; 4 1/4" Stockman
Buck 301; Schrade made, ~1968. I bought this from Rich Lanigan. He and wife Ann have been Schrade collectors for over 50 years. The lived in Ellenville and were friends with the Baers. Rich said he got this knife from Albert Baer in about 1968.
i.e. this Schrade made Buck did not go to Buck for marketing but went directly from Schrade factory to Rich.
Pricing: I would prefer to sell all 4 as a group: $200 includes PP fees & shipping. I think this is 'fair value' but i am not that familiar with Buck prices. If i am out of line, then make an offer that seems fair to you.
I will sell individually if i receive a fair offer.
Please send me a PM or email: [email protected]
thanks, kj

EDIT to add: All are now SOLD

Nice set of Buck knives. I have been caring a 301 Buck in my pocket for 25 years now and it has always held a super sharp edge. I have done some whittling, wood carving, and even skinned a few animals along the way. The gentleman that I bought it from sharpened it himself, and he was a knife trader, I used to buy several german made knives from him, and one day I went to pick up some knives that he had got for me and after we was done with business, he pulled the 301 out of his knife roll and asked me if I would be interested in buying it, and afterr seeing how sharp he had gotten it, I could not resist, so I bought it for $20.00. The best money I ever spent for a knife. So one day I was sitting on the porch whittling and my grandson came out and ask "poppa what are you doing"? and I answered and said that I was whittling and of course he wanted to whittle, so I handed him the buck 301 and showed him how to whittle. Now when he comes to visit we have to have a whittling session together. I love it.

Thanks Keith. I enjoy reading little stories of knives & life.
These 4 are nearly sold, but not quite as funds not yet received, so if you are interested, stayed tuned. I will post the outcome.

Not interested in them at this time. I was just relating that any one of these knives will last a lifetime if used in the proper way. A great investment for anyone.

Yes, i understand. Your experience is a testament to Buck having their heat treatment perfectly dialed in, which is in part what Buck is famous for.
