Buck spa returning beauties

nutoknives · Jul 31, 2012

Figured I start a new thread to show the magic that Buck Knives Inc Rework Crew does to those knives we send in for repair and or a long over do as we all refer to The Buck Spa Treatment. If at all possible please take a before shot and a shot after Buck has done their magic. My most recent returns from the Spa Hope you enjoy with a special Thanks to Joe H and his team.

The Package just need a knife to open

Got a sit slim fit 112 should do fine

Steel at Work

Box Open

Here are the 8 Returning Beauties

1st knife up 1972 1st Version 112

Next to the Sit Slim Fit 112

Early 500 Duke

A Couple of Elusive 119's

Got to ask Joe H about this appears to be writing in marker on the end of the blade maybe missed a wipe down prior to shipping

1968 110 no inlay pins

3rd Variation 3rd Version 110

More to Follow Thanks for Looking

Maybe it somehow got within arm's reach of Chuck Buck and his "signing mode" kicked in?

Beautiful knives and amazing work by the Spa crew, as usual.

nutoknives · Jul 31, 2012

LOL, That is a possibility, maybe Joe H will chime in and let us know what it is maybe blades are marked with what is to be done and should be cleaned prior to shipping and this one did not get the final wipe down. Hey Joe H what is the process for the SPA TREATMENT ? Mail atten: Joe H, Joe H inspects, maybe Joe H writes on the blade as what is to be done, rework crew does work and final cleaning this missed last step? Anyway the grinds look good and some are just going into storage as they have been for 40+ years. Some will find new homes the sit slim fit 112 going to spa with some old one's if its OK with Sitflyer then maybe Buck will get a good look at the Sit Slim Fit 112

I've had spa work done a few times and I've always been pleased.

nutoknives · Jul 31, 2012

Pleased is an understatement, I am beyond delighted what the crew can do, on this bunch a lot of tarnish blade scratches, and 40+ years of storage, hole in pommel filled on 1 of the 119's, abuse, you would not believe what the 3rd version 3rd variation looked liked prior to SPA, just want to get Joe H thoughts on the writing on the blade maybe his handy work or 1 of the crews. Last batch had a white residue this batch just a touch of the mysterious residue, I did not clean any or wipe down any knives took out of the box from Buck and took some photo's to share did not want to seem like I was complaining just noticed some writing and thought it would be interesting, who's writing is it?

Thanks Hogger this batch had me nervous but they all found there way home safe and sound

nutoknives · Aug 3, 2012

Just received email from Joe H not sure who wrote on the 119 sometimes warranty Dept will write instructions on the blade as to what is to be done, normally not done but hey these are not your normal 119's Thanks for looking everyone

That's a great batch you got there! Now I'm thinking I have a couple that could use the spa treatment.
