I am just posting to get some feedback from you guys. I just got in two Buck Bantam BLW Camo knives made in the USA. The clip on one was a little loose, so I tried to tighten it and two of the three screws just turned instead of tightening down. I found the same situation on the second knife. Upon close inspection, the little nuts the screws go into inside the frame are not stripped, and the screws aren't stripped either, they just are not long enough! What happens is the loctite they use on the screws ends up holding them in the holes, or if you are lucky the screw will barely catch like one thread on the nut. I called Buck but had to leave a message as they were already shut for the day. Anyone else experience this same problem on the Bantam series? I think the screws are about 1-64 thread if I'm correct, same thread used on the Buck Rush screws ect. I'm hoping they can just send me screws a hair longer, that's all these knives need. Otherwise great knives, I love the camo look on these :)
 
Marlin,
Mines good and tight both on the 286 imported and 285 USA, both are black. I dont use the clip much, if ever(maybe back pocket carry every blue moon) but I dont think 2 horses would pull clips off of mine. Looks like Jeff's got you covered. Another personal Buck touch:thumbup:
