Buck QC on 110 S30

[junderwood]

Hi , first post here and have a question. I ordered 2 of the 110 Nickle S30 knives this week and they came fast, great. However, both knives to me hsve different issues. Pics posted, is this common and I just work on them ? The first knife has a burnt tip on both sides of the blade and the 2nd knife has a splintered handle where one of the pins is located. Thinking I am sending these back. Comments appreciated

No doubt, return them both.

Absolutely return them. This is not Buck’s standard and they will want to see those.

Those Nickel Silver Drop Point models are very nice and you deserve better knives.

Thanks all, emailed Buck , re-boxed and shipping back Monday. Thats what I was thinking as well , these are really nice otherwise.

I have the 420 version and its great. This was a purchase for a buddy and myself. Crazy both had issues.

That "buddy" was me and I'm disappointed as well.

BTW I've known the OP for years and he is solid. I know he will fit in well here.

That certainly is pretty crazy. What were the chances of both knives having significant flaws. And being only available on the Buck website, it’s not as if some dealer or middleman got their hands on them and messed them up. Factory flaws for sure.

Hope Buck isnt going the way of Case! Just getting ready to do a couple Buck custom shop deals.
