No problems really.... post a pic of your code 3 along with your PAL and you'll be fine ;)
 
Buck model 271, Folding Alpha Dorado. It's a smaller version of the folding Alpha hunter with an ATS-34 blade, and rosewood scales. A very nice leather sheath tops it off. It takes an edge and holds it very well. A very nice everyday carry knife, especially for the money.
 
A few days ago i made faux pas and posted a "non buck" knife as a edc. Well, i have carried a buck 110 on and off since i bought my first one in I believe 1972. It has actually traveled quite litterally around the world with me and I remember when you could put it in your carry on luggage....before x-ray. Well, I figured i make amends by posting a few pics (you guys are always askin' for pics) of my 1972 Buck and also a couple of my "new" Buck which obviously will not be a edc. And thanks to all those that gave me a big welcome to the forum

Topol -- welcome! Nice pic's I love the older knives.
 
What Buck am I carrying right now?
None. I'm sitting here in the heat in my shorts but wanted to thank Topo Gigio for the pics of the old and new 110 :)

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one old enough to remember Topo Gigio. Try mentioning him or Ed Sullivan on myspace.com! :D

Today . . . same ol' Buck 110 BG-42. It's my constant companion when I'm at home. It also came in handy the day before yesterday when I was in the back yard helping my dad and nephews build their climbing wall. My dad need to open some blister packs and didn't have a knife on his person, nor did he have one in his work area or workshop in the back yard! The guy has roughly twice as many knives as I do, and he had not a single blade available when he needed it.

Oy! Good thing I was there with the BG-42-ized Buckety 110 goodness!
 
I finally broke open one of those two knife blister packs to get at a 373. I normally carry a 500 but it was kind of weighty in the shorts I'm wearing. Dam that 373 is sharp, I sure wish I could get the 500 back to that kind of edge.
 
Koa wood being from Hawai'i, I had to take my 110NS BG-42 Koa back home for it to enjoy some vacation time.
Here it is enjoying the Kailua-Kona sunset:

At home, nothing hooked to BVD's, on the desk , a pair of scissors and a 301 stockman with mismatched stag scales. (Would'nt leave a good one out to get scratched)..
