To those with good experiences I'm glad for you.
End of this one for me is they could not figure out how to repair or replace with a knife that either locks correctly, doesn't have detent lash, or is centered.
To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
Bye bye to Buck for a long while, and I hope others are cautious.
Edit to add: I've got one cjrb and 2 Vosteed China knives during the time Buck tried to figure their stuff out, they are perfect and half the price.
