Stealth Run #013 - Carbon Fiber 110 Auto Elite MagnaCut Drop Point

[Grip]

In my opinion for 300+ dollars that should be standard procedure at the factory. Not one knife should leave the factory With any malfunctions. And please don’t think I’m bashing Buck, just voicing my opinion.

I largely agree, the fix is easy and cheap. Buck's customer service is great sounds like they handled it.

The recent Auto Elite I got was so sluggish it wouldn't lock open when fired. After flushing and oiling it fires hard and has a rock solid lockup. Took 5min and a few cents of mineral oil to fix. Not a huge deal in my opinion, Case, GEC, Buck, all end up getting a lot of gunk out of them when new. Perfect, no, but it's manageable. Even if you like the action clean them out.

Which is interesting because other online retailers will ship auto knives to CA. Buck just probably doesn’t want to deal with Californias BS which is understandable.

Looking at a few of the California laws made my head hurt. I can’t tell if a folding 110 that locks open is legal or not to carry in my pocket.

Easy one. There are literally no limits or laws restricting folding knives in California.

Specialty things like autos, plus city and county is where it gets tricky.
