Hi everyone,
I've been doing some research and I've settled on the Buck 347 Vantage Pro as a general use tool knife/EDC. My question is, I've been seeing some people complain about some issues, saying there is a "new version" that has these issues fixed. Does anyone have any idea when this update took place, in terms of a year? Or are they constantly improving it every year or every couple of years?
The reason why I ask is because I'm going to buy one off Amazon, and they might have last year's or even a previous years' version, so I'm just wondering if I'll be getting the "newest updated version" or not. The Buck site is sold out currently, so no direct option for me.
As in, was there an update in 2012 (then I'd be fine off Amazon) or was it 2016 (maybe not ok on Amazon)?
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback!
(Some of the issues reported were blade knicking when closed, lining being off centre, etc. Apparently they were somewhat solved in the newer version)
