naw, you're too kind. we do have a lot of Canadians down here in florida helping to teach us how to be civilized, well behaved, nice and decent. we got a lot to learn though.jbmonkey your patience and diplomacy is inspiring. I tend to "drop the gloves" a little too quickly but you always remain a gentleman.
Sorry, I missed it. I would have let it go had I saw it.
You could walk in and they fix while you wait.
What type of buck knives and lock types do you buy?
My Bucks are mostly 112s and the 500 series, so I prefer lock backs. I have myself 99% convinced that I need a 110, I don't know why. The locks that I sent to Spyderco for warranty were a compression lock that opened in my pocket and shredded my trousers (but not my hand or leg, thankfully), a liner lock that closed like a slip joint and a back lock with a rocker bar that didn't seat properly into the blade. Altogether, those were pretty scary knives. I never had an issue like that with a Buck back lock, just sayin'.
Of course, I already knew that. The real question is why I still retain a 1% uncertainty.
The Spyderco lock back that I had issue with was from about 30 years ago. I think their current lock backs are very well executed. I will say this about Spyderco, they don't let grass grow under their feet. They have improved their products and they seem to have addressed the problems that I had with improved designs. They did not, however, address my problems through warranty.
Hell, the Army will kick off a campaign based on the 80% solution - you are at 99% - go for it (you'll thank us later!) OH
Yesterday, my brother gave me a 110 that he bought in 1993 and never used. He said the sale price was so tempting, that he bought a knife that he didn't need. Go figure, I've never done anything like that.
I offered to pay for it, but he said it was a trade for the 501 that I gave his wife years ago. I'll post pictures later, right now I'm taking it in the crawl space while I repair the sump pump. After 28 years in a dresser drawer, it's ready to go to work.
