Very nice jb, I like the results of the pins being flushed up in the rear bolster.
I have a 2 dot with a much smaller version of that but was hoping they could eliminate it all together.


Heres a 3 dot

This '88 didnt go back to Buck spa, but to Eric at arksknives for spa and 486 reblade.

I fixed up an otherwise useless 470

The bottom one is the AFTER pic. The top one is what they are supposed to look like.

I only took before pictures of two of these, but sent in four. Here's two of them before:

All four after (the other two were in about the same condition when sent in):

You don't always have to send them to the spa.

I didn't like the frame of the 419 when I pulled the scales off for some reason. So I fixed it.

Dave the before photo of that 110 looked like some exotic strain of venereal disease on the bolsters. LOL,are you sure that's the same knife?:thumbup:

Thanks Tom, that was my 1st true collector. The guys at the spa and Joe really made her look like new.

OK this thread rocks. I am really tempted to do this for my father's knife. I just don't know if he'd appreciate/use the outcome. Long live Buck knives.

Here are three I dropped off two weeks ago at the Buck Factory for warrenty service. Took them less than 19 hours from the time I dropped them off to call and say they were ready for pick up.

And here are some after pics:

I did'nt have a before pic of my old standby favorite 112 (middle knife), but it was in pretty good used shape. The bottom 112 was in pretty sad shape and the blade was toast on the 560. They all came out looking wonderfull and I'm very happy.
