110 Slim select

[Homer Watson]

The blade on my 1 year old 110 slim select is not staying closed. It is a inexpensive knife, would It be lame for me to send it back to Buck?

what's failed on it? no, its not lame to send it in under warranty, if it failed under normal use.

I am not sure about the terminology, but it opens up partially when it is in my pocket.

yep send it in under warranty......Buck will get it straightened out or send ya a new one....

If you like the knife send it in. It's probably cheaper to send it in than to buy a new one.

Send it in.. it will take a few weeks, but the free repair will be worth the cost of your postage. If you feel bad, buy a back up. You'll have it in a few days and will make the wait more bearable...

I would have it in tomorrow mornings mail, Buck would want you to send it in too - opening in your pocket is bad news. OH

I sent it off today, it might be a couple of months before they get to it, I might buy a 112 while I wait.

Today I received my replacement knife from Buck warranty. I am glad to have it back.

Glad they got it straightened out for you. Opening in the pocket isn't a good thing.
You should still get the 112 you mentioned in the earlier post though.

The knives I carry do that from time to time and it is mostly because of pocket lint and gunk. I clean them really well and oil them, working them open and close and they are good to go with a good snap closing.

It was replaced because of "worn spring". I did keep it clean and didn't abuse it, not sure why the spring would wear. If it happens again I wouldn't send it in I would just buy another.

I may buy the 112.

The correct terminology is, "Holy *%#!", which is what you say when you stick your hand in your pocket.
