Hey guys,

You may remember I had to send my 112 ecolite it for repair right after getting it. Decided to send a couple in for some spa treatment. Joe was kind enough to oversee the process due to the eco issues. Well I got em back today. I aint disappointed and just want to say thanks publicly to Joe and Buck Knives. What a spectacular company. Here are some before and afters for your viewing pleasure.

1st version 1st variation 1972 inverted 112-before

2 dot 110 before

after

The 2 dot had been cleaned up by me and looked much better than those pics of when I got it but there were nicks and scratches in bolsters and I had only lousy pics that didnt show anything so I posted way before pics
thanks for looking

Nice spa treatment by the pros! I'm really digging that 112 with the Micarta. That nail nick looks almost hand carved!

Thanks plane, they did a fantastic job on both as well as fixing the eco 112 and centering my 347 Pro
I was real interested in Joes opinion of that nick. He said in original thread from last year it may have been done at the factory as a special request or employee experimenting. Verdict is in-not factory

Still cool, odd and collectible:thumbup:

Very nice... Buck has one of the best warranties in the bizness... I'm headed down toward Post Falls on the Harley as soon as this latest spring storm passes through....

I dropped 3 model 110s in the mail today for re-blade and spa treatment. I guess I have something to look forward to.

Joe and Buck!

Both knives look outstanding now. The 112 scales are great looking. I was wondering how the Micarta was going to look "after". The scales on the 110 are a very dark wood and with both the difference is amazing.

Another Fantastic job!!!! Great looking knives you have there too.
The Micarta looks fantastic too.
Regards Sonny

Me too

The 110 scales and most of the knife cleaned up good. The blade was scratched and the bolsters had some dings-they all came out plus they tighted up some side to side wobble.

A nail nick early 112!!! Really cool..I guess a employee could do/get a lot of odd things.This is a perfect example of why collecting Bucks is so fun and interesting..There is a good chance that is the only one out there,but I will be looking!!!!!!!!!1
