Buck 303T Stockman Knife – 2002 Centennial Edition – Original Wooden Box – 3 3/8" – USA Made

This 2002 Buck 303T Stockman is part of Buck’s 100-Year Centennial celebration, commemorating a century of American knife-making (1902–2002). The knife features Buck’s classic Stockman pattern with three versatile blades—a clip point, a sheepsfoot, and a spey—each marked BUCK 303T U.S.A. and retaining full factory profile.

The handle is Buck’s durable black sawcut Delrin with the traditional Buck knife shield, paired with nickel silver bolsters and brass liners. Action is excellent: all three blades open and close with strong, tight snap, and the knife shows only light surface scratches from storage. The original wooden Centennial box is included and displays gentle varnish wear from age, but remains solid, attractive, and fully functional. At 3 3/8" closed, this is the perfect-sized traditional pocket companion and a great piece of Buck’s commemorative history.
