RE: My Buck knife broke
Im not trying to disrespect you... he doesn't need to harden the blade its already heat treated,i was telling him to use water to keep it cool so it don't change hardness,and yes oil is better for harden steel but any liquid like water or oil will quench a steel quick and make it surface hard,but the blade is already hard,the water is to keep it cool,oil takes longer to cool than water,oil heats slower but holds heat longer, making water soluble liquids better coolants,for keeping materials cool while grinding,sorry to argue with you I'm sure you know what your talking about but i think we were misunderstanding each other... Good luck hunting this Year...

RE: My Buck knife broke
Yeah a friend of mine did the exact same thing, sent it in and got a new blade.

RE: My Buck knife broke
Yes, they will either replace the whole knife or the blade, at their descretion.
I had the exact same thing happen to me, I told them it broke when I got it stuck inbetweentwo bones. The replaced the blade, but the handle and all was still the one I sent them. That was fine with me, since the knife had sentimental value, I feel as if the sentiment is still there. I would have lost that attachment if they replaced the whole thing. |
