my Cabela's 110 knife arrived, question...

a newbie knifenut here, jumping on the Buck bandwagon. My Cabela 110 arrived, but what are those spots on the brass? Would this be acceptable to you?

That looks to be tanish. This is very common with brass and is easily removed with a brass cleaner.

looks like something was sprayed/splashed on it that reacted with the brass. Obviously if it doesn't polish off without any pitting-staining,then send it back to Cabelas for replacement as defective. Brass normally tarnishes and requires polishing to keep it looking it's best.

BTW welcome to the forums. I see my daugther is a neighbor of yours, lives in Soquel. When we were there in late July, we saw the wharf to wharf race. What a crowd ran in that one!!!!!!!

I use Mother's mag wheel and aluminum polish on my 110's and really like it. It should remove that tarnish with no problem.

Bought some Brasso polish. (That okay to use??)

Looks good now!

My 2nd 110 had a little tarnish on the bolsters, 1 munite and some flitz-no problem

I think you should get one, so does everyone else on this board. Aren't you worth it?
