Hello!

Ron and Frank, you're welcome. Whirled Peas.

BTW...that is a line from the movie "Stripes". Where the guy (Francis) is saying "anyone touch my stuff, I'll kill you!". The sergeant says "Lighten up Francis".

I am signed up as "Buckwheat" on your gig Ron.

We would all be curious to know if blade swaps are back!

Ron - (or Jeff, or Scott, or whoever :rolleyes: ) -

IIRC, LaBella is asking for a repair, with a paid upgrade option...not exactly the same as a blade swap, but maybe enough of a loophole that Joe can slip it through...without us noticing... ;)

So what you are saying then is all I have to do is send in my "broken" 110 :eek: for warranty work and include extra for a new upgraded warrany replacement blade? :D That didnt seem to be the case with my Alpha folder I dinged this past deer season but I am now curious :D


I can see how this will go "Uhh, yeah, hi Joe, yep, I dropped 5 of my standard 110's and they all had the tip break, yeah I know its weird, could you please replace (not swap) all 5 to S30V?" LOL :D (please notice the smiley and the LOL)
Thanks :D

...JIM!!!... :D I got it now! ;)

Yeah, that's the loophole that I think would allow Joe to "upgrade" warranty knives...but the price may be more than you'd expect...lemme just take a quick look here at how much a Custom Shop S30V blade is versus the Standard blade...

That's odd...S30V is not offered on Custom Shop 110's...this week, anyway...ATS-34 and BG-42 are on the option list...at $15 and $19 over standard... :confused:

Now what's going on??? :eek:

HHmmm BG-42.... Ats-34? 154CM!!!!
I could live with both of those also!
I dont think I could bear to "drop" my standard 110's on the tip for the upgrade anyway :D
I Just better order another Cabelas AG 110 :D

That's not a problem...here's what you do...have a 6-pack of whatever you prefer (Hamm's, or maybe Lone Star) and then hold the blade against a 1/2" Grade 8 bolt and smack it with your BMFH... :eek:

It should cut through the bolt... :rolleyes:

If not, the warranty applies... ;)

That's not a bad site you have there. With better organization, individual knife manufacturers categories, and the absence of filthy material, that could grow to be quite a site. That's the second best knife site I have personally visited. It's much better than knifeforums...but it's not BladeForums.

Buck, sorry that you are bothered by the free speech/ visuals over at Ron's other little cubby, but it's okay not to look at them :cool:

JD is one of the best bars on the internet, I drink there often. Now can we get back to discussing Ron's knife a little?

Mr. LaBella - I'd not swap the blade steel out were I you - none of the maintenance guys I've ever talked with about their 110's complained about the blade steel, and there's one or two of them out there with a Buck 110 that's about 30 years old on their belts.

But it's your knife, so make you happy, not me. Just post me a few pics when you're done and see if they can re-stamp that blade with the Anvil logo.
 
You may be onto something Mr. Parker, sir. Thanks for the insight :thumbup:


Ron
 
Buck 110 you are embarassing me. Please let's all get on with our knives.............


I can't wait to hear someone from Buck has my knife in hand.

Ron
 
well, I left my name, phone number etc. in the package. I have not heard from anyone at Buck as of yet regarding my repair. I am just curious if this is standard procedure or does the turn around lead into more delays? I am not growing impatient, I am just asking, I suppose.

Cheers

Ron LaBella

Yes it is. Buck is notoriously silent about ongoing operations to your knife. Buck will eventually send you an email saying the knife has shipped. Then about a week later, it will show up. They've been shipping UPS lately, so pray to whatever gods you prefer that UPS doesn't screw your shipment up, too...
