Looking for someone to recondition a Buck 307

Post by Doug51 »

I have a Buck 307 that I got on trade. It's been treated poorly. Mostly handles scales are chipped up and one is cracked. The main blade has a some side to side play but looks like a lot of life left in it. Looks like the there's a smaller gap on that end of the knife. It walks and talks good. The smaller blades look unused.The bolsters have some dings. I'm not looking for a brand new factory renew but would like some new scales of some sort put on and the blade play fixed and the bolsters cleaned up as good as they can be. I want to carry and use it. Any recommendations here or can someone give me a private message that can do this for me I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
I have pictures I can send also

Doug, Buck is pretty famous for their work on their own knives. For not much money they will give it a once over and make repairs. Drop them a line. ::nod::

Thanks I will check it out. But previous owner didn't treat it right in my opinion so I don't know if they would work on this one. And my other concern was they don't make this model anymore so I wasn't sure if they would recondition it for me?

I would start by talking to Buck. Their reputation for customer service is great. However, your knife was made by Camillus which went bankrupt 13 years ago. Unfortunately Buck let the 4 1/4" Stockman pattern die with Camillus. I doubt they have parts for 307s. They could make new side covers from scratch the same as some members here do but that takes time. Please let us know what Buck does for you.
