forever warranty

 

well my dear ones,

 

 

I’m a knife guy,

have been since I was about eight;

I’m intrigued by good designs

and high quality.

 

I read lots of knife reviews,

and if I find something well-regarded

by a lot of people,

I’ll pick one up

and evaluate it for myself.

 

Last week I picked up a Buck knife,

a simple single-blade folder (model 302);

it’s got decent steel,

it holds a good edge, and it cuts well.

 

[for those who care about specs,

 it’s a slim knife that is 3-7/8” folded,

 so it fits well in a pocket;

 and the blade is just under 3”

 so it is UK-legal, as well as being legal

 in most big cities, since it is a slip joint,

 as in, the blade does not lock open;

 here’s a pic of it:

However, more impressive than all that

is the warranty that came with it,

one which they like to refer to as their

“forever warranty.”

Here’s a pic of it:

I like companies like that,

ones that take their products seriously,

that’s why this isn’t the first Buck knife

that I’ve ever bought...more like the 25^th.

 

But I didn’t buy all those knives

just because of the warranty;

I also like the

“Message from the Buck family,”

the one they post on the back of

the warranty card; it’s this:

I haven’t heard of a lot of companies

that make God their Senior Partner,

yet it is most likely the reason

that they’ve been so successful

for the past 112 years.

 

And they’re not kidding;

these guys are on the level;

I wrote to them about it,

about that message,

and I got a personal letter back

from the current president, Chuck Buck.

 

I told him I liked the John 3:16 reference

and he confided to me that his Dad,

Al Buck, had passed away on Easter Sunday,

March 31^st 1991, or, as Chuck put it,

his Dad

“went home to be with the Lord

 on Resurrection Day.”

 

That’s a cool way of looking at it;

I hope you all had a great

Resurrection Day.

 

 

Have a great week. =)

 

grace, peace, and love to you,
