Now is a good time
I sent a 110 to Buck for SPA ,they received it on 6-25 and they are finished and sending back today, 6-27. Now might be a good time to send your bucks in for fast service. I’m anxious to see how it looks when I get it in hand.

Re: Now is a good time
Doing it in July. Got a 110 with a broken tip, a 112 with a blade far past its prime, and a couple that could use thinner edges (like my 105).
I need a little bit of advice. I've got a BuckTool with a broken pliers stop. I probably overpaid for it early on in my online shopping days. Buck told me they'd give me 50% off anything in the standard catalog if I sent it in. I personally feel like it's taking advantage of the warranty, but on the other hand--a good way to get my money back and a usable knife (thinking either a Budgie or one of the new models with the AXIS-style lock).

If your BuckTool is on the blink then you are justifiably entitled to accept their offer.cody6268 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 28, 2025 12:51 am Doing it in July. Got a 110 with a broken tip, a 112 with a blade far past its prime, and a couple that could use thinner edges (like my 105).

Buck’s first Crossbar Lock is hard to resist. I want one too if they would ever release them. The Budgie does seem nice but I passed on those personally. I like small knives but the Budgie seems a bit too small for me. The 790 Range on the other hand, might be a killer small knife. Escpecially with that 2mm wide blade. I might get one myself at full retail.
What I would be cautious about is did they mean the standard catalog at the time of that email or the standard catalog when they receive your BuckTool.

Awesome looking knife, and my JVC boombox from 1984 is still working perfectly. 

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

If I remember correctly, they said when it was sent in, not the email.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Sat Jun 28, 2025 1:45 amIf your BuckTool is on the blink then you are justifiably entitled to accept their offer.cody6268 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 28, 2025 12:51 am Doing it in July.
