Seems a bit time-consuming all this considering Canada and the US are neighbours...What will happen if I want to send back my Buck Alpha with defective scales from far off EU-land??? Six months?

Pack a lunch.

I read your thread about the varnish willgoy. That blows.
Instead of sending it in, I'd order new scales. Someone here may be kind enough to send you a set.
I know of someone that sent a guy in Oceania a brand new Idaho stamped 110 cause the poor guy had blade wobble. No cost...not even postage.
IF I had extra scales I'd do that for ya.

There are some REAL nice fellas on here.... stand up you know who you are :)
 
I was always told "patience prudence" OR
all good things come to those who wait OR
Somethings are worth the wait!
Rome wasn't built in a day... :D alright, alright! You get the picture!
anytime something is imported/exported shipping takes longer, as far as fixing the 110 maybe they are spending all that time buffing her to a mirror polish! :D

We actually invaded Canada once...and got our asses kicked... :eek:

No foolin', they are still finding the remains of Americans who were killed in the fighting near Fort Erie, Ont...(practically in Willthebarb's backyard)...

A fascinating bit of history that the schools here in the US are careful to ignore... :grumpy:

I think that summation of the War of 1812 ignores the British insults to American independance.

48-40 OR FIGHT.

Actually it was "54-40 or fight" and it was a dispute that occurred over the Oregon territory that extended as far north as 54 degrees 40 minutes latitude, which just about included the entire British Columbia Province. The dispute occurred in 1844 and had nothing to do with the war of 1812. A compromise was reached that set the border at 49 degrees latitude. Having said all that, I agree with you assertion that the war of 1812 had a whole lot more to do than a single battle that extended into British territory (Canada). As they say, we lost the battle but won the war.
 
I think the most interesting thing about our little unpleasantness in 1812 is how it changed southern dominance in the American Congress. All the hawks were from the south. All the doves were from northern states. The northern states never really wanted the conflict. They were doing very nicely trading cross border with British North America. Also, most of the people who lived in Upper Canada, Ontario today, where Loyalists who had moved here after the American Revolution. That means that they had lots of friends and family still living in the northern states. Bottom line is that the north didn’t really want the fight and weren’t very keen to support it. This is probably what saved us in the end.
So, why did the south want to fight? The early Congress, before this time, had been a southern club. When the economy of the United States was largely agrarian the south was the most economically strong sector of the country and their strength in Congress reflected this. As the north became more industrialized the economic strength shifted and gradually the south saw their power in Congress slipping away. The War of 1812 is really the last time the south forces the north to do something that they don’t want to do. America’s internal strife probably had as much to do with saving my nation as any force of arms ever did.
It takes another 50 years but the War of 1812 is the opening act of the American Civil War. It is interesting to think that the south may have felt that they could win the Civil War because of the north’s poor showing in 1812. In the end the south was being silly. They saw what they wanted to see and it cost them.
A lot of people think that Canadian history is dull. Thank goodness our neighbors to the south liven it up sometimes.

:cool: ...Yeah...The Buck knives are neat alright but it's all the Great "Pillocks" that keep bringin' me back here...:rolleyes: :eek: :p

Yes, we have the finest pillocks in the world right here at Buck forum. Where else can you talk about knives and get a bonus history lesson??

Willthebarb: I always find it odd that it's easier for me to get into Canada than it is to get back into the US. It was this way even before 9/11. Maybe it's just because I have that maniacal knife-toting look about me?? :rolleyes:
 
Messersmith, we need your US dollars, man, so come on up. Without’m we would have to start paying for our healthcare…Just kid’n but in the summer our population goes way up with cottagers and they do keep the wheels greased.

RAZORBLADES, I hope you get your knife back real soon.
