those 119's arrived today .... I'm happy to report that both appear to be in first class condition .... no sharpening marks like the ones mentioned above .... no need to do anything but pack them away for Christmas and eventually wrap them as the time grows nearer ....

Ah, the Buck quality control got away from them on your 119.

I'd send the before/after photos you took in to Buck, along with an explanation of what you found and what you did to "fix" the blade edge scratches. Is there a possibility they might provide some compensation to you for that first blade's poorer quality? Just a thot.

Great that your sons' gifts were built spot-on, and are ready to gift. That will be an enjoyable surprise and fun time for them.

I don't know that me saying (at least about this) we must think alike would be a good thing or not .. :? .. I did just that earlier today .... it was authored from the standpoint of customer who bought his first Buck over 50 years ago and who currently has over 10 of them .... it will be interesting to see their response

Yes, it will be interesting. Cool 8-) that you inquired, Jim. You know what they say about "great minds...." :lol:
And 'tis quite true when you said earlier that "the SAGA continues."

most certainly will .... I decided that because I wanted to send pictures, the best way to contact them was by email .... in looking at their contact page ===> https://www.buckknives.com/about/contact-us/ I finally decided to send it to their warranty department .... it does seem interesting that the picture at the top of the link given shows them sharpening on a grinder .... my hunch is, something interrupted process and my 119 didn't go through the finish process
