Gary, they, may have changed their policy.  The complaints concerning their balisongs were from 2003. My  run it was from last August.

As I received a knife that in my opinion was flawed, they should've at least said send it back, we'll take a look at it.  Instead the blew me off, and blamed Camillus for having having antiquated manufacturing processes and told me to just keep opening and closing it, eventually it'll open smoothly. That's not customer service in my opinion.  Case is much more responsive.  Mater fact, SMKW is much more responsive when one of their made in China knives isn't up to snuff.

I can see nothing in the Bear catalog that excludes any knife from the warranty.

I hada problem with thier scout knife. My email from Mr Griffey was different: 

sir,

this is the old camullius tooling and it's a more wear in knife than a bear

we use progresive tooling and they used pancake tooling so the blade will have to wear in just put oil on the spring joint and work back and forth.

they use to make 25,000 boy scout a year with that tooling

    Message : I recently purchased a Pattern 7445 scout camp knife via Amazon.com.  While i like the knife I have discovered that the main blade has a significant amount of drag or rubbing  at the pivot point.  (Where the blade tang is attached to the knife handle)   You can feel this drag when the blade opens and closes.  I have several other Bear knives and none experience this.  While i haven't carried the knife much, I have oiled the joints assuming the problem might have been from sitting in storage. Is there a way for me to remedy the problem.  Can I send it to you for repair?  Is there a charge for this, If the problem is due to manufacturing and not use?

I collect Camillus and I collect Scout knives.  I can tell you that I have never had this kind of pivot grind on any scout knife, let alone my Camillus knives.  It is now February  2013.  After working the blades almost weekly and continuous oiling of the joints, I can honestly say their is no real change in the pivot grinding.  I want it to better but it isn't.  I find it disturbing thay Mr Griffey or his rep threw the Camillus name under the bus as an excuse for their poor quality control.  Unless I can inspect a Bear knife beforehand I won't buy it. I've had too many problems with their folders.  It is also my understanding that their limited life time warranty doesn't apply to their balisongs.

That's an automatic model, isn't it?

Steve, the so-called gunstock whittler is actually a cigar or equal end whittler. I guess by caramel gunstock, they are referring to a jigging pattern. (Checkered)  See the catalog at <   http://www.bearandsoncutlery.com/clientuploads/catalogs/2012_catalo...  >  Caramel is on page 21.  The also have a red bone with 1095 on page 4  Of their folders, I'm looking at Wood grain Delrin Hawkbill (page 13);   the stag bone butterfly (page 23); and maybe the stag bone barlow (page 17).

They do make some nice knives, I think it was last year they had a  Whittler that came in a caramel gunstock bone. I am still wondering how they did on that whittler?

Don't have any of the Farmhand folders.   Case makes a Hawkbill Pruner.

I have seen those Gary and they seem nice. Do you have any of the farmhand folders and what is your opinion? Case made something similar didn't they?

Comment by Gary Nelson on September 2, 2012 at 6:58

Bear makes two sizes of the farmhand folder.  A 3 5/8" and a 4 5/8". with black delrin handles.
