Yes it is exclusive to Buck's Alaskan Guide series. You pay nothing to Buck, just mail it in. ItsTooEarly is referring to the other Buck knives where you pay Buck $6.95, plus shipping it to Buck.

Sorry WD,

You are thinking of the Cabela's Pro-Line series Buck knives. That offer is not for the AG series Buck knives. Buck would be happy to clean and sharpen the AG knives for a small fee.

Hmmm, I knew that was the deal with the Proline series, but I'd never heard or read that about the AG's. Where did you find that info? I can't find anything about lifetime free sharpening for the Alaskan Guide series on Cabela's website.:confused:

I see. Thanks. Well that's just another good reason to get the AG then. How would you know that as a buyer? I didn't see anything on the Cabela's site about the service. And I wonder why this series of all to offer that? either way cool deal!

Sorry jb, I guess I was typing as you were posting. I think that wolfdog has the two lines (Proline & Alaskan Guide) confused.
 
LOL. I was typing at the same time as both of you. . Oh well... I enjoy sharpening my knives anyway. And the fee is no big deal if I did chose to send it in. Less reason to feel guilty bout it that way.
 
Here's are scans of the paperwork that comes with the Proline. You don't get this with the alaskan Guides.

It's not on the website. Look at the paper that comes in the box with the AG. The one describing the Alaskan Guides Series. It's at the end.

Also, I sent an AG 110 in for warranty adjustment, an exposed blade tip problem. On the work sheet that accompanied the returned knife it stated for the AG only and not for the other knife sent with it (a founders edition 110 with a similar problem) "free lifetime sharpening for this knife".
 
Hmmm...ya learn something every day. I guess that I really should read those bits of paper. :o

Wow, you got me there! I should read all the paper work that comes with the knives because that sure got by me. :o

I wonder why that isn't mentioned in the description at Cabela's? Seems like they made a big deal out of it with the Prolines and it was a good selling point. They keep it a pretty good secret.
 
Another little-known fact!

That's cool, Wolf......I didn't know that about the AGs.

:thumbup:
 
Tracks,something else is they come in the limited edition black box with a brown kinda custom sheath.I wonder if they are made in the Buck custom shop? When I get healed up and hopefully back to work I plan to get the AG Vanguard.(Love those AG's)
 
Wow! So it's finally settled they do come with lifetime sharpening. I love that they come with the brown sheath too instead of a black one skyhorse. I didn't know about the box though. I might order mine today.
 
I have one of the AG Vangaurds, it just never has been sharpened. What I mean is that the coating is still in place where the edge is suppose to be, and yes I plan to keep it that way. If I want to use one I will buy one that has the edge on it from Cabela's. I own three different AG's at this time. The 110 rosewood, the Vangaurd, and the folding Alpha Hunter with gut hook. HL

I usually do my own sharpening, too. But it is nice to know this about the AG series in case some day it gets so dull (if I have to cut through a car door or something else unusual) S30V does take more time to sharpen. Buck can do it on a belt grinder with an angle jig in seconds. It's a nice backup if the blade gets unusually dull.
 
So the prices on these went up in January?? And here I was thinking it was already a steal at 79.00 considering it's S30v and rosewood. Especially when you consider that the bass pro's 154 CPM is 75.00. I'm assuming you don't get the free sharpening with the Bass Pro model either. The only thing I really like more about the Bass Pro model is that they left the blade alone. Not sure how I'm gonna feel about the black blade or the big Cabela logo when mine comes in. I'll see soon enough.
