What Buck are you carrying today?

A 110 in my back pocket and a new SwissChamp in my front.

Not much that, that combination can't handle.

Hiked the narrows at Zion today. My 110 at my side.

Nice patina on those bolsters

Found the 110 with G-10 handles in 30V. Carried it, used it. Its Just a Buck is all. Good.

Flat grind 309 and a 4 dot 110 with a slightly bent tip and a small chip toward the tip. Funny story about the 110, it was my uncle's knife and the bent tip and chip were put there by my cousin and I back in the late 80s pretending to be Bo and Luke Duke.

I may send the 110 in to see if Buck can straighten the tip when I get around to sending in some other family Bucks for SPA.

Has anyone had any luck with Buck straightening a tip? It's not a bad bend, I would imagine they could fix it easily enough.

I like the bent tip because of the story behind it! I'm not sure how to go about straightening it, so I'd probably just leave it if I couldn't fix it myself. If you could fix it yourself, you'd be "straightening the curves."

You could always just use it for cutting circles.

Buck doesn't necessarily "fix" a bent tip, however it is possible they can grind a bend out of the tip. Your 110 looks like the bend could be improved/reduced by removing material. I have a 110 that I sent in with a similar issue and it came back much improved. Not sure I have any before and after pics.

"straightening the curves."

Thanks, I needed that laugh. "Let's Git em, Flash!"

No before pics. Blade on the left, 4 dot FG, is the most severely bent I've come across. Blade on the right is the 1991 that did not start as severely bent, but was much improved by the warranty department. A bit of a left hand turn remains.

This is how the June 2018 BOTM arrived. I guess they ran short of the nice wooden boxes a few of my other knives arrived in. Still a great knife that deserves to clip onto my pocket once in a while.

Nice! I'll have to send it in and see what Buck can do. It's in great shape other than the bent tip and little nick. Probably got hidden away after we did the damage and never used again!

Thank you my friend! I'm excited for the next one.
