Why?

I was going to suggest that maybe the buyer wanted the older sheath that went with it, but upon reading the description in the listing, I think you guys are probably spot on. Although seeing the handle and damage on that knife I would wonder how far the warranty would go. :D
 
Better question that needs answering might be "How?". How do you tear one up in that fashion? You'd have to be pretty mad at it or something!
 
ooh ooh I got it.......it just came to me.

Maybe there are 4 really, really, really stupid people out there:p

Buy Forrest buy:)
 
Maybe he wants to try out a new mig welder.:eek:It some times amazes me what people buy and sell on ebay.
 
Well whats left would make a fancy carpet cutting knife. Thats one of the worse. I always watch the messed up, ground down and ruined blades to see if someone is willing to buy. Some folders I see I don't know if it's worth bidding to get a re-blade job done.
 
I'm not sure which model Buck would replace it with IF they decide to replace it. Given the good nature of the company, it wouldn't surprise me if they did that.

The buyer will get a new knife for around $25 to $26 if he sends it in and Buck replaces it. I don't think I could be unethical enough to send it in and try to get it replaced under warranty.

My thought exactly. If I want a knife, I'll buy one. If they want it for a warranty replacement, all I can say is "The lows that some will go to for just a few bucks!" (bucks - as in $ - no pun intended)

I have even done some really stupid things to mine (I know hard to believe right :D) , and I couldn't even send them in...
 
Maybe they'll send him one of the new D2 118s if they still have any laying around.

:D

Actually, I don't think it's ethical to buy it broken and then send it in. That's different from breaking it yourself where you could tell exactly how it happened and claim fair use.

But some people just have no integrity.

How in the world did they break it that far up the blade?:eek::eek::confused::rolleyes:

I've seen a pic or two in various different 'batoning' threads here (don't get me started), of knives broken just like this, at or near the handle. That looks to be about the spot on the blade (spine) where they'd be smackin' on it with a log or other such thing.

Just a guess...

Edit:
Come to think of it, maybe somebody actually tried to hammer it thru a nail (per the standard ol' Buck logo), just to see if it'd actually work? Perish the thought...
 
What I want to know is how did the seller get away with calling it a "fixed" blade knife?
 
lol if you read the description it says its not a really a fixed blade any more
 
There was a guy that wanted 70.00 for a well used 118 and 50.00 for a 119. He's still got both knives.
 
Not sure what Bucks replacement policy is but I remember a while ago I was walking through a flea market with a friend when he stopped and picked up an old adjustable Craftsman wrench that was obviousy broken beyond repair and bought it for $1.00. I asked why and he said Sears has a no questions asked replacement policy for Craftsman hand tools.

Much later I actually broke a Craftsman hand tool and when I took it to Sears I was told to get a replacement from the shelf. The salesperson then gave a receipt For $0.00 to be able to leave the store with it. He never asked how or why it was broken.

So.....maybe they were 4 pretty smart guys bidding on that "knife"!
