Brother do ya just miss my point? Its real simple. If you don't like the knife send it back. That's a call only you can make. However if you think your going to blow the whistle on Buck's CS. Well that's going to be hard. There's way to many good tales. They will over shadow the very slim amount of bad stories. I mean points a valued and I understand em. Where I'm confuse is when a personal ruther becomes physics as you call it.
The law of average is going to out weigh your law of physics. You have a higher chance of losing the knife or wearing out the blade long before you wear out the lock. You mention price. Aight then if that knife last 10 yrs then it costex you $4.50 a year. Surely its worth that to beable to cut whatever it is you cut through out the year. I don't keep many Bucks any more. I've given a lot away and lost several. Matter of fact in the paper work that comes w/ a new Buck it says Bucks has a way of coming up gone. Or at least it use to. To be honest I don't even take the time register em any more. I've learned that I'm not going to wear out my buck so keeping a bunch on hand doesn't make since and I'm not a true collector. I see a knife I won't and I get it. My kids always get me a Buck for my Bday kinda tradition. I usely hold on to them until I lose em. Doesn't matter though cause Buck is always putting out something I want to try.
Now back to the physics. That liner isn't going to just wear out because it goes all the way to the other side. If it does wear I bet Buck fixes it. I've been trying all morning to upload a video of my Buck 186T to youtube but keeping a failure. As soon as I get it uploaded I'll post the link. You can tell its been used. I open it and you can watch the lock slide all the way across to the other side. There is no movement in the blade. This is a $20 knife from walmart from my daughter. I know if I send it to Buck they will repair the missing screw to tigjten up the clip they might even do something about the lock. Why I don't send itbto them is thesebare badges of honor of the knife and they just might send me a new one. That's not what I want. See that Buck knife is dated and I can remember when I got it as all Bucks are. I wore the scales down. That tells a story of that knife and part of my life. Some has pictures/videos to remember their life. I have Buck knives. Lost knives don't bother me much. I look at it like if the knife is lost then I'm suppose to remember the knife not the time. And that's cool w/ me too.
Enjoy it or not. It is totally up to you. Just that simple.
