Does the Buff typically have rough unfinished ends? I just purchased my first one and both ends are unfinished and they look like someone just cut them with scissors.

I wondered the same thing because the one we bought also had the unfinished edges and looked like it had just been cut with scissors. I checked with a couple other people I knew that had them and theirs also had unfinished edges. The official Buff website says their headwear is made without seams or hems and that after a few washings the edge will naturally seal themselves.

Yes, they do have unfinished edges. If you buy the "Buff" brand I can honestly say that they are a good quality and my husband wears them all the time.

I have one that looks like that also. It does not feel rough when I wear it around my neck. My buff saved my but at a marathon this weekend. I was able to wear it as a hood while running in cold temps and high winds on Virginia beach. I bought it more for function and less for looks and that is why I bout most of mine in solid colors.

The ends are unfinished, but that's good because it means you can knot one end to make a sort of cap, and the fabric is strong. I have a lot of different Buffs, and I haven't had a single one to get frayed or to unravel, and that includes hundreds of washings.

Yes the edges are unfinished but they are by no means rough nor do I believe they would unravel . I have worn and washed mine several times and it still is fine.

I cut it with a sharp pair of scissors, then melt the ends with a lighter. Melting the ends will keep it from coming apart.

send I pic so I can see! I taped and cut mine like the direction said and had no issues. Have a new blade because you will be cutting into metal!!

I cut the end after I adjusted it for size. I also felt I was wasting the product.. However, It does work well..

When I received mine from MicTuning nothing had there name on it and one end was broks so over the course of 3-4 months they sent me two sets of ends and none fit so I think they sold me a knock off. I don't know if I would deal with them again or not.

The handle broke on the one I bought a year ago. When I called Furminator, they said it was common among fakes. I sent it in for their inspection and they subsequently confirmed mine was a fake. It certainly didn't look like a fake to me but the new one I just ordered (per their instructions) from Drs. Foster and Smith seems more substantial. Also, the blade cover on the fake was almost impossible to put on. The new one slides on effortlessly. Hmm.... The fact that they're $15-20 below MSRP should've been a flag. Tried to fill out an Amazon A-Z guarantee but that wasn't possible. Hope Amazon is reading this since they do the fulfillment for this company. The handle broke on the one I bought a year ago.

I purchased two packages and had one arrow that the fletching came off. Honestly, I don't know if it was poorly glued or if it rubbed the brush when I shot.

I just bought a new one to modify, I checked it with some of the older ones I own of which a few are so old they have lost the original shape from being sharpened so many times over the years. They are all the same thickness and I think some of them are from the first mfg. runs. They make for a good bush craft knife with some mods. Hope this helps you.

That is a good question. I just purchased two of these. One for me and one for my son. Neither of them have the cleaning rod on the end cap. My guess is that is a design change. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I needed to even use it. When looking at the end cap where the rod should be, I don't even see a hole for it. My guess is this was a design change or an intentional omission.

I didn't, my husband melted the ends with a hot knife and stuck them together. Been using them for years with no problems.

Has anyone had a problem with the string wrapping around the shaft of the spool. After using the trimmer for several months with no problems, it has now started to wrap the string around the base of the shaft, below the spool. Very frustrating!! Was working fine up to when this happened. Any suggestions?

I never have had to replace any ends, yet! Sorry, I can't answer your question. When you find out would you please notify me.

I didn't have to cut mine but by the material that it is made of a simple hacksaw should be able to cut it. It should be simple enough to modify if needed. Hope it does the job for you.

The colander I received is indeed slightly more unfinished on the outer surface; however, my colander is not as sharp as a grater. I am, indeed, a bit more careful than I had been with my former equipment.

The one I got has a polished finish. They may have other finish options, but I didn't see them.

I haven't unspooled the entire roll, but so far, mine has been spliced twice on the roll. That wasn't an issue for me, but you may be pressing your luck to get that long a piece with this seller, as I've seen other posts about splices on the roll.
