BCC knives

[folsom]

I just got my knives which were available to BCC members from John Lentz.

First, let me say thanks to John for taking on this responsibility, and express my regrets at the passing of Paul.

The knives are beautiful! I got the BGF-42 Strider Spearpoint (ony 17 others took up that offer??). What a solid knife! It renews my faith in Buck's ability to make a solid liner lock, I only wish my Tac-Lite locked up so well! My only complaint is I don't think Buck could have made a more right-handed knife if they had tried! I tried flipping the thumb stud around, but I can't budge it. When I had the hex wrench in Vice-grips, and the head of the stud in a pair of pliers, and I still couldn't move it, I figured someone much mightier than I had screwed it down. I left if for another day.

The dagger is smaller than I envisioned it, but absolutely beautiful. I could really see wearing this in a horizontal sheath on the small of my back, simply as a small utility knife. It's a nice shape for general small use, and the damascus is gorgeous.

The Chuck Buck signature is also a great design for a knife. As a small fixed blade it is well balanced and quite comfortable, and the balde shape is excellent for what I look for. A littlye file work on the back of the blade would make it ideal. I noticed that the cover letter said it was made of BG-42, but my blade is stamped ATS-34, which seems odd. I don't remember which was indicated when I ordered the knife.

Nice knives, Buck. I think both the dagger and the Chuck Buck signature would be great additions to your regular line. I'm thrilled to have all three with my member number on them!

I too picked up one of the daggers and a Strider spearpoint, like them both very much. I also must thank John Lentz for his efforts in getting the BCC knives out to all of us.
He perservered during times of personal and public loss.
I would like to have a user version of the dagger as well, it would make a great utility knife, as Al noted.
Good job Buck, Paul & John.

Just recently recieved mine as well, the dagger, Chuck Buck knife and a mini Strider spearpoint. That dagger sure is pretty and the Chuck Buck knife just calls out to me to be used. The mini Strider is an EDC at work and it has performed flawlessly. 17 of the regular Striders and only 14 of the minis? I would have thought there would be many more sold at the great prices through the club.

Hey Al, try touching the thumb stud screw with a hot soldering iron for a few seconds then immediately unscrew it. It is Loktited in place. By the way, it should be a T-10 torx head screw. I'd take a look with a magnifier to make sure so you don't strip it out.

Many thanks to John Lentz for carrying on when his brother Paul was called to join God.
