Forgive me for putting in my 2¢ and wave it off if you like; I wont be offended: I've been in your situation with all kinds of products. Boots, knives, guns. Don't sell them yet. Sit on them for a while. Use the ones you want to use, chipped blade and all. Don't sweat the dings in the spacers. Take a toothpick and brush and maybe compressed air can and clear the leftover compound out of them. Give em a light polish (Buck did the serious polish, so you won't have to do more than a quickie). Come back to them in May or June when you've destressed a bit and they'll look better to you. With a new child in the world, this will likely look a lot less important.Everyone gets it Badhammer... your repeated advice is use it, sell it, send I back, suck it up, etc. You’ve made yourself clear but I’m not interested in going back and forth on it. If it helps you get on, I will indeed likely be selling these at a loss now.
I’m posted evidence of the issue and the lack of result from a warranty return because I think that is useful info for others that have experienced it. Thanks.
I don't know whether this has been mentioned, but my old 1970s •110• has hit the spacer so many times it has dug out a trench there and doesn't ding the blade anymore!
I look at my 110s like the Velveteen Rabbit: They only really come to life when they start to show love from use. (I guess by that logic my face got loved a LOT in the boxing ring!
