That trio of cadets was pretty neat, but I gotta say that seeing that whole collection of the 300 series made for a hell of a picture. Thanks for the look at all these, buddy!
As said in other, I've a 1982 303. (ha, so long ago I can only date the knife by the gal I went out with/knew I had it) The Camillus made 300 knives being better quality by slip joint design/$$ for forever warranty. Forgetting the wording for why Buck dropped Schrade and went with Camillus, here's a copy/paste from a forum you may have not known. (just some knowledgeable person on forum) ~ "Buck carried these well fit and finished knives for over 6 years, but a weakness became apparent and began to cost Buck time and money. The Schrade Bucks were designed with a 'hidden pivot pin'. The ends of the blade pivot pins are not visible on the surface of the bolster. They have flat, nail like heads that are fitted into key type slots in the brass liners when the knife is assembled. ... With hard and heavy use both the pin and the brass liner key-hole would fail. ...With Bucks forever warranty this led to lots of work for the repair department ...In 1971 it was decided that the slipjoint contract would be move to Camillus Knife of New York and their designers used a exposed pivot pin on the bolsters which made blade repair and replacement easier. The Camillus version of the Buck slipjoint was straighter in form, had ends less rounded, gave the appearance of deep finger nic grooves and the first models had small flat scale rivets. The black sawcut scales with Bucks knife, bolt and hammer escutcheon continued." (Buck still sold all left over Schrades after '71) ~~ And not to pooh pooh on Schrade. My 1980s Uncle Henry LB7 gifted via work anniversary pick (carried in pocket number of years) is as fine furniture. I've never had the urge to get a 110.

How much do you want for all of them $
Sorry but they are not for sale.
@@thesakguy3852Are the Camillus made knives of better steel Quality than the Shrade made knives ?
Your lips are smacking.good video.
The shield looked great on the old 300s. The hammer knife and bolt are crisp and detailed. Now they look like a 5 year old drew it lol
You are correct about that.😄

Did not know about the problem with the Schrade. As for the UH LB7 a friend of mine has one and I would put it in the same class as the 110.
