Wish we could send ourselves in for a Buck spa treatmentWell as a vintage '81 myself, I would say that it is probably in better shape and has more life left in it that I do
Good snag.

Your blade is 440c heat treated by Bos. Don't have the blade replaced, the current steel isn't as good.Nice that's great to know! I'll definitely send it in, didn't know they do that for older models as well. Was nervous to get it since I know nothing about them but figured might as well try for the price. Thank you!
The people at Buck who do this work are terrific, they know when enough is enough!They're back!!!it took a couple months but it was well worth it
