FWIW..........
About six months ago, I bought a new Buck Folding Alpha Hunter. Two or three weeks
later, I called Buck and asked the guy that answered if I could get a handle screw
for it. His response? Something on the order of: If you want the screw, buy the
knife. I couldn't believe what I was hearing......from a major American knife
manufacturer. I called back twice more that week, each time getting the same
unfriendly son of a bitch. I emailed Buck Knives to complain about the treatment I
had received. Todate, I've never heard back from them about the incident.
Fool that I am, I bought a Buck Mini Strider Spear Point from someone in a forum
last week. I love the knife...it's just exactly what I've been looking for! I called
Buck again, about a half hour ago, and asked the woman who answered if I could get
a pocket clip....so I could send it out to be engraved........that's how much I like
this little pocket rocket! I've never had anything engraved in my 60 years.
Her response? She said: "We don't give out knife parts. We've never given out parts
in the twenty five years that I've been here."
I will not buy another Buck knife.............period!
