Is it suppose to hurt?

Post by JFZ59 »

Just got my first order from BudK...part of my order was a Case Blue Eisenhower.
To pull the larger of the blades you have to sacrifice your nail due to the resistence in pulling the blade out.

Any suggestions?

hey doc, is it smooth and hard to open or rough and hard to open? drop of oil and open and close, open and close...over and over. or send it to case, they will fix it for free. or send back to budk for replacement.

The blade seems to sit lower in the handle making access to the nail groove difficult. Pulling the blade up will cause you to lose your nail in the process!

I will try oil in the morning...if not: Back to BudK

sounds like the cutler took too much off the kick. send it back.

Back it Goes!

However, now that I have been bitten by the bug I think that I am going to replace it with something just a little bigger.

Gonna try some of the AAPK stores.

Thanks for your advice.
