Scales on Case Mini-Copperlock pulling away from liners

Yes, I do. Why not give them all the facts? Like I said in my last post they have a great repair department and will most likely repair it regardless.

Hopefully, if it was not disclosed to them in the e-mail that the knife was soaked in tea for some time, they will notice the discrepancy in the color of their bone and the tea dyed bone when they get the knife and refuse service. But then again Case has a great repair policy and will probably repair the bone covers brought about by a bone headed dye job.

Just yanking yer chain 92 but it was too good to pass up.:rolleyes:

Haha no I probably needed to hear that honestly! I might just try to stick with some dye next time:thumbup: I'm really not sure if I am goin to send it to case anyways, I just wanted to see what they said about it and go from there. I figured the adhesive wouldn't have de - bonded like that though. I've used other bone handles case knives in some pretty wet conditions for a good period of time and never had this problem, maybe it was a combination of a bad adhesive job and my overzealous tea soak that did it. Who knows. Thanks for the reply Ed!

Yes you're very correct, it's the right thing to do. I'll let them know about it when they reply.
 
I told you that a tea soak would hurt the scales. What can I say.

Water is BAD, TEA is BAD, Rit Dye in water is BAD. Bone needs nourishment. Oil dyes are easily available.

Robin, how about a nice cup of Piping Hot Java? Coffee......GOOD :D
 
I did a tea soak on my Texas Jack with no such problems. I didn't boil the knife though, just soaked it in hot tea, and oiled it up afterward. I guess I was lucky.

There is a 180-day incubation period for this malady to occur. However, the good news is that the wearing of a face mask is not necessary during the incubation period.:rolleyes:

Soaking/boiling - all the same. Not recommened for bone covers but there are many that do it and get away with it - at least for 180-days.

Maybe I should go check on it now.

If you didn't mention the tea soak or water in your email to Case, you're off the hook. Just send the knife back for an even exchange, and also ask them for a darker even dye. Beautiful!

You think it would be OK to accept an exchange under the false pretense that he didn't cause the damage himself? REALLY? Integrity seems to be in short supply these days. :thumbdn:
