Flush it out with water.It's a little gritty opening it and I'm afraid to flush it out because I like how the micarta looks...I guess at some point its going to get oils from my hand
Micarta is extremely durable. It will hold up fine.Just curious as to how many that bought one, will use as an EDC? If so, how will the Micarta hold up to EDC. Thanks
Thanks for the info. I have one ordered so many carry it when not carrying my 303Micarta is extremely durable. It will hold up fine.
PM me your address and I'll get a return label. I'll turn it quickly for you.Got mine in today. I have to say, for the first time, I’m pretty disappointed. Blunted tip, big gap between main blade spring and frame, main blade rubbing the side of the frame, and main blade snap so weak I have to push it nearly all the way closed. I was really looking forward to dropping this one straight in my pocket. I love the BF 301 so much.
The really bad part is sending back and having to wait two or three months before I’ll see it again. Pretty disappointing I own a lot of Buck knives and this one slipped through quality control.
Congrats to everyone that got one!
I’m sure after looking through the others that mine is not the norm by any means.
looks like we burned the micarta. PM me you address and I'll get that corrected.View attachment 1649224
mine arrived today also. Fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired. Wonky piece of micarta as shown here. Clip blade rubs on the linear and the grinds could be cleaner. Definitely needs a good flushing, but the blades have a fair pull and good snap closing. Overall at this price point I think Buck needs to do a better job.
