Probably a dumb question, but what is the hole near the tip for & what is the semi-cirlce notch near the handle for?

It to hold the mache againsy anail in the wall. Ornfor a string to hold around your hand.

It's a linerlock knife. This is really standard. You see the metal bar that is lined up with the blade inside the handle? You push that to the left and pull the blade towards you.

I haven't received it yet, just placed my order, but from the enlarged photo you can see a knurled knob below the handle (away from the cutting head) that looks like it'll enable you to move the entire handle and cutting assembly somewhat so that the cutting depth IS adjustable and NOT fixed. Doesn't look like it'll cut too deep, but it is adjustable.

That's a good question. Perhaps they are hoping no one reads that far. Mine has a plastic handle; however, I do have a handle from a broken razor that may fit, so maybe I can salvage something out of it. Should have known to be more careful when looking at an 87-cent razor.

It is a "bent" stem. No special hole needed. It makes it much easier to fill with air.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

If I remember what my hubby did, there was a little hole and he used the included tool to insert. That allowed the handle to be turned. Hope that helps.

I guess I don't know. There's only one place to screw in the handle. sorry I can't help more.

It's that indentation directly above the handle on the front. Basically just a hole in the plastic of the lid and bottom where a small lock can go. If you are looking for serious security, this is not it.

There's a black metal section at the bottom of the handle. Pull it away, then tilt it.

Because the wood handle fully covers that part of the knife and it has a brass end to it I can't tell visually tell but I believe it is because of the balance and the feel of the knife is excellent. I doubt very much if Buck would use a partial metal handle. This knife is one of the best I have ever owned.

It is a "starting" pin which acts as a fulcrum. You rest your work piece on the pin and pivot it into the bit. When used correctly, it reduces the risk of kickback when free-hand routing.

Mig, did the black plastic on the inner (not visible when closed) part of the crank/sharpener somehow become separated from the chrome handle? Mine are fused together, and the both pieces stay connected when I unlock the sharpener. I'm just trying to get a visual of what you're describing in case I can help.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

I am not sure, I haven't had mine that long. So far mine is still in tack. You may want to contact the company directly to see. Or be creative and use some Gorilla Tape and wrap around the handle. lol

That hole is in the handle not the head. Part of manufacture process probably
