I've got the 301, as well as the 371. Love both knives. Always wanted to try a 303, and have been eyeballing them pretty hard as of late. But I found a 373 with the wood covers at a Menard's bargain bin for ten dollars, and figured that was a worthy test! In truth, the 373 is a bit small for a farm kid's paw (or at least THIS farm kid's paw😆). So I'm kind of glad I didn't buy the 303, though I still may get one for the collection someday. Have a great weekend, buddy!

Great video thank you! I have a 373 since 2007 and is good as new although I have carried it quite a bit. I am considering a USA made version, but still cannot make my mind between the 301 and the cadet. The cadet size really disappears in the pocket and is good for any task even meal prep with the clip and whittling with the sheepsfoot. However, nowadays I lean towards having more substance in the knife overall, so I might aim more for the 301.

Using the same two frames I would love to see Buck come out with two 2-bladed knives. Same two main blades and let the consumer choose between a secondary pen, punch, or other common tool.
