Warranty Paperwork

Buckaholic · Mar 7, 2006

Does anyone ever send in that warranty form that comes with the Buck?
Any real purpose to it?
Curious Goose wants to know.

I don't as I want to keep all the paperwork in tact and I know they will honor your claims without it. That brings up another question that I've been wondering about, has anyone seen any of those 119's with the yellow spacers I've heard are in the WalMart system? I haven't seen anything on eBay and my WM doesn't have any.

Jack,

I have one of the 119's with the yellow spacers - its a Centenial Issue knife from 2002 with the 100 year logo etch on the blade. Haven't heard of any since.... As for paperwork, I have a drawer full of Warranty Registrations. From the man's mouth I heard they will honer the warranty on anything with ther Buck name on it.

I thought that those were during the 2002(centennial year)

...I have one and it has the 100 year etch with yellow spacers. Were there others recently? Preston

Thanks Jack...
I was just wondering how it works if you don't send in the paperwork and send a knife in for work. How would they track all that paper? The form doesn't look as if it has changed much since I was a kid in the 70's.
Seems to me to be a marketing gig to get your name on some list.
Kind Regards,
Goose.

I've never sent in the warranty form that comes with the knives, but I have registered them through the Buck website. You've got me wondering know whether it was necessary, but I just figured it was better safe than sorry at the time. Maybe I'm just too obsessive!

Ahh, "nutria". Reminds me of the vittles I'd see in the lowlands of Viet Nam.
I recall being in country. About 5 klicks outside of Da Nang, there was this hooch where my team found a tunnel. Looked like it was fairly well used. We could see black pajama threads everywhere...a tell tale sign.

Getting into that tunnel was a chore in the heat, humidity, and thick tension. The entrance was concealed by being covered with masking tape.
That's when I needed a real tool to get through. My Alaskan Guide 110 served me well.

I have NEVER eaten even one nutria in my life! Haven't even seen one as they all live too far away from me

. Perhaps they are better off that way though as I do live by the philosophy of trying everything once....

LMAO! Goose I think I love you. In a manly kind of way of course!

Perhaps you should get in touch with a certain Ebay seller of our acquaintance. You could swap "war" stories. Then again, maybe not...

'Fraid not ZZJake. Just a widely read Scot. Closest we get to something like a nutria would be an overfed hamster, or a boistrous squirrel!

Sorry for the confusion.

Of course, if you have any nutria steaks going spare pass them this way

Well LG, I appreciate it and I don't think you mean in the "Broke Back Mountain" way

Glad I made ya chuckle.

The bandaid is used for covert ops. That way no one knows I'm from that special Alaskan unit Mr. P.
