The Beer Scout Knife

I would definitely send that one back.
May be perfectly functional and even be said to have "character".
It isn't what I would term "first quality" and I imagine you would pay the same for one without a huge "surface" crack in the handle.
Ever heard of surface rust on cars?

I completely agree. I thank everyone for their inpIt.

(I did edit out some questions but deleted them because they are questions I would need to ask the seller)

I thought I saw that yesterday but decided not to say anything. Don't keep it, that will not only affect the pricing - but may cause a problem later.

Yeah, I saw that too yesterday but even though thinking it looked like a crack...naw, I thought it couldn't be or that would be the first question to be asked.
Yep, one got though QC.:(
Well LaughingBones, looks like you have 100% support of what to do.
 
i spoke with seller and he was real nice about it. Sending it back today. It's a little embarrassing that I was so excited when I got it, I posted pics that showed the crack, but didn't even notice till later. It's really noticeable in sunlight. Inside my house under normal lighting I had to shine a flashlight on it to really see it.
The brown sawcut bone are all sold out too. I can't find one anywhere. That's the one that really appealed to me.

I am very happy with the Chestnut saw cut. The overall color is just perfect in my eyes. I don't get many opportunities to post photos but I captured this one last night.

 
The saw cut is definitely the best looking of the Beer Scout run. If I didn't have a micarta and ebony on the way, as well as a #77 preorder and a Mudbug preorder.........

Talk about "Hair of the dog".


I just ordered the red saw cut and linen micarta Soda Scout's. Can't wait for them.
 
Howdy yall:)

My two BS cam in today:D they're both REALLY nice and just perfect F&F! I can't find a single thing wrong with it:):):) I'm just not sure I can keep them:( I know that the responsible thing to do is to just put them up for sale to yall:) but I like them so much that it's a quite a hard decision:(:o

Well enough of the jibber jabber and on to the pics:)



 
Congrats and sorry to hear Ryan. Both of them look great especially the ebony.

I had three but ended up keeping only the sawcut chestnut.

Good luck with decision.
 
I don't know whether to congratulate you or feel sympathetic. :o

Maybe sell one and keep the other? :confused:

The beauty of those two would make the decision hard for anyone.

Finally getting around to posting mine. I want to take this opportunity to thank Bill Howard and Christine for a great factory visit last week. I try to get to GEC every year and it's always a high point of my summer. This time around, Mr. Howard let me have my pic of the coco beer scouts. I raise my glass to him. After all his years in the knife business, he still has so much passion, excitement, and enthusiasm for what he does. A class act all around. Cheers!
 
Other two arrived today! Been saving some caps for this shot...

Love all three but the gabon ebony is superb in my book. :thumbup:

In my VERY humble opinion Ebony > Tortoise > Chestnut > Cocobolo > Ivory Bone > Sunbrite. Which is why I ended up with just these three! :D
