GEC Glow Bullnose problems

[Corndog74]

Received my glow bullnose today to my disappointment. The fit and finish are lacking. The pivots are marred and the lanyard tube is sloppy. Have any of you had problems? My redneck looks head and shoulders above this glow nose.

I would send it back to the vendor. You will probably not be happy with it anyway, so don't delay send it back and get something that pleases.

Sorry about that, but yeah, pics would help our imaginations from wondering...

Sorry it is already wrapped up and going back to GEC.

Both mine have nice fit and finish as well as my new orange and black F&F's. Would love to see some photos but I would send it back to the vendor and ask for a replacement. Sorry for your disappointment bro.


eta, looks like you already have it boxed up and ready to go back. Good luck on your replacement.

Why to GEC and not the dealer for exchange? Curious minds want to know.

Good luck with wherever you send it.

I guess your sample size was not large enough to predict this

Im surprised you didn't ask if it was throat poppin' sharp!

I kid, I kid

Its never any fun getting a disappointing knife.

I just picked up a red neck in the newer "farm and field" iteration and was really impressed with the quality of the f & f at this price point. For sure going to grab the other flavors.

Photos would be helpful and it wouldn't take long to rewrap it. Mail won't go out until Monday.

I would not send that back unless I am missing something.

You are talking about the grit marks?

 

[Corndog74]

sorry if you cant blow the pics up. if you look at middle left pic you can see that the hole is bigger than the brass lanyard tube. the scratches on the pivot pins are obvious.

Is the butt end of the knife loose or tight together? What I mean is can you squeeze it tighter together with your thumb and finer?
