Got my 113 Ranger Custom Skinner back from a trip to the 'Spa'. And it is gorgeous!
About 2 months ago, I inherited a 'hunting knife' from a distant relative. "He hunted. You hunt. Thought you might like to have this." And I was handed a knife wrapped in packing tape. (Moving tape, not blue painter's tape.) At the time, all I could tell was that it was short fixed blade knife.
After cleaning off the tape goo, I saw that it was a Buck 113 Ranger NRA Custom and it certainly was no Safe Queen. It was dirty, the brass bolsters had scratches, the blade had a few marks and scratches but the edge looked good.
I had only been a BF member a short while and I remember reading about Buck's Forever Warranty and others sending theirs off for the "Spa Treatment". S'oaky, I thought I'd do the same, printed off the online warranty form, attached a letter with some additional questions I had, wrote a check for $6.95, and sent it off to Buck.
About a week later I got a call from Randy. He said it would be better to call me and answer my questions directly. So Randy gave me the history on the knife and how it would have originally came from the factory, and answered every question I could think of. He then told me they'd get right on it and get it all buffed up and looking like new.
And about 3 weeks later it arrived and man does it ever look like new! It is buffed and polished, the scratches in the brass are gone, the NRA emblem is now readable, and the blade is spotless and razor sharp!
Included with the knife was a 25% discount card and a note hoping "I was satisfied" - am I EVER!
Thanks Randy and THANK YOU BUCK!
