Quality Knife
Buck, good quality knife for the price. I am 84, have carried a “BUCK” for a long time. Dependable. I used a Buck to dress out a deer back in the fifties.

Very nice pocket knife
Nice pocketknife. It has a nice weight. It opens and closes easily and smoothly. The only thing I'd like to be different is a more modern variety of finishes.

It is very small!
It's tiny! I guess I should have paid more attention to the size info. Blade doesn't lock. I'm returning it because it is so small—doesn't suit my needs. Otherwise it's a quality product.

Comparison of the Buck 373 (CHINA) and the Buck 303 (USA)
The 303 is one of the oldest Buck Models, also called the Cadet. It is a convenient size (for everyday pocket carry) and has three different blades. When the Buck plant moved out of California, the shape of the blades were changed slightly and the manufacturing process changed enough that the blades now are not as highly polished as the older California versions. The handle material looks very similar-a plastic sometimes called delrin, with tiny groves that look like they might be saw marks but reduce slipperiness.The 373 is the same pattern knife, (other knife makers call this a stockman pattern) made in China and sells for a much lower price. The handles are usually wood, not plastic. Wood is also available on the 303, at higher prices.This week I bought both of them from Amazon. Looking at them side by side, they are nearly identical in size. The 373 is very slightly thicker, but the same length. The difference seems to be the liners and bolsters from China are ever-so-tiny bit thicker. Visually, the 303 handle has a single rivet in the middle, rounded on one side and the end is slightly rough on the other side. If you look at the comments on Amazon about the 303, you will find several complaints about this. The hinge pins are visible within the bolsters on the 303, but the bolsters feel perfectly smooth. The smooth wood handles on the 373 are attached with three brass pins, polished to the handle and almost undetectable when I run my finger over them. The hinge pins cannot be seen in the bolsters. The shield on the 373 has the word 'BUCK', the shield on the 303 has the old logo with a picture of the original fixed blade Buck knife, hammered thru a bolt by a ball-peen hammer. The packaging on older Buck knives warned that to actually try this would void the warranty. For my taste, the 373 with the smooth wood handle looks just a bit classier over the 303, even though it sells for a lower price. Fit and finish on the 373 also seems better, but not much. This might be individual differences. That is one advantage of buying these kinds of things in an actual brick and mortar store--you can see several examples and pick out the one you prefer.The blades look very similar on each knife. The 303 felt slightly rough opening and closing the blades, the 373 did not. The tool marks from shaping the blades is more noticeable on the 303. The main clip blade on the 303 is marked BUCK 303 USA. The clip blade on the 373 is marked BUCK 373 and a symbol I cannot duplicate on my keyboard--a single line curve, like an upside down smile, with a dot under it. I do not find any other markings on the blades of the 303. One of the smaller blades on the 373 is marked CHINA with a small dot after the word. I found no indication on the box for the 373 where it was made.Looking at the blades of each knife side-by-side with a 30X hand magnifier, the 373 consistently had finer tool marks, particularly in the finger-nail grooves. All in all, the 373 for me is the more elegant looking knife, with all the functionality of the of the 303 at a lower price. If you want the rough texture of the plastic and the old logo, go for the 303.
