Buck Knives 303 Cadet Stockman-Granadillo Handle Folding Knife BU14454

The Buck 303 Cadet Stockman with Granadillo handle is a compact, triple-blade folding knife built for everyday reliability and timeless appeal. Crafted in the USA and rooted in tradition, this knife is part of Buck's long-standing line of classic pocket tools, ideal for anyone who appreciates quality workmanship in a refined, yet rugged package.

At just 3.25 inches closed and weighing approximately 1.9 ounces, the Cadet is a scaled-down version of the larger Buck Stockman, making it a highly pocketable companion. Despite its small size, it packs in versatility with three distinct 420HC stainless steel blades: a 2.5-inch clip point for precise cutting and piercing tasks, a 1.75-inch sheepsfoot for controlled slicing, and a 1.7-inch spey blade traditionally used for skinning or sweeping cuts. Each blade opens and closes with dependable slipjoint tension—no locks, no frills, just classic function.

The handles are crafted from Granadillo hardwood, a dense, richly colored tropical wood known for its durability and resistance to wear. The smooth, polished surface adds an elegant touch without sacrificing grip or usability. Nickel silver bolsters on each end frame the handle, reinforcing the knife structurally while giving it that unmistakable traditional styling. Brass pins and liners tie it all together with a level of fit and finish that reflects Buck's commitment to American craftsmanship.

Buck's proprietary heat-treated 420HC steel ensures each blade holds a solid edge while remaining easy to sharpen in the field. Whether you're whittling wood, cutting cord, or just opening mail, this pocketknife handles daily tasks with quiet confidence. It's the kind of knife your grandfather might have carried—updated with premium natural materials for the modern outdoorsman, tradesman, or collector.

The Buck 303 Cadet Stockman isn’t just a knife—it’s a piece of heritage in your pocket, built to last and backed by Buck’s Forever Warranty. Check out our large Buck Knives department at SMKW!
