Hi all,
I purchased an OHB which I returned because the blade "creaked" when swinging and the guard creaked when you twisted it a little - as if the epoxy inside was cracked - I just recieved the replacement which has got the same problem!! (If I hold the knife and flex the knife left and right very lightly I can hear the squeaking sound as well)
The creaking sounds isn't loud, and there is hardly any play in the blade... but it is disconcerting for "the finest production bowie".
Is this normal for the OHB? Or did I get 2 duds in a row? (The replacement has excess epoxy coming out of the guard but still has the same problem....)
I'd appreciate comments from exisitng OHB owners...
Cheers,
