But don't worry about the bolsters too much. A little Flitz would do the same thing, and also probably cure any bolster scratches. 30 seconds with a piece of 2000 grit wet/dry paper had all of the liners looking shiny and new. The spot was located on the back of the knife where the springs are. My Middleman had a spot like you described on the brass liner. It's mostly from pushing against the nail nick of one blade, causing the blade to flex and rub against another blade.Īs far as that spot goes, its easily fixed. The parallel aligned blades of the Buck Cadet do greatly minimize the rubbing, but some rubbing will show in time. That's the price you pay for cramming 3 blades into a thin folder. You'll find blade rubbing to a problem on almost every slipjoint. Lots of work, but worth it in the long run. It took hours to get perfect 30 degree edge bevels on all three blades with my SharpMaker. I picked up a new Middleman a couple nights ago. Russell's, all of my slipjoints have come with very poor edges.
With the exception of Buck, Victorinox, and some of A.G. I'll probably carry it until I wear it out/break it, and move on to bigger, better slipjoints. But, I have the Middleman, and it was instant gratification, so. I probably should have saved my money, and instead purchased a Buck 303 Cadet. It makes a decent supplemental knife, for my bigger one hand openers. The knife is sheeple friendly, very small, and comfortable to carry. I find having 3 different blades useful, for differing tasks. The knife resides in the same pocket as my keys, so the drop-point blade already has a few scratches. I cut up an apple with it today, and it didn't really stain, though I washed it immediately.
It doesn't particularily hold an edge for a long time, but it is very easy to sharpen. I would have expected a little bit more for $20. If this knife was "100% hand inspected," they either have pretty low standards or inspectors that don't work all that hard. It opens fairly smoothly, but while open, the backsprings stick out a little bit. The clip-point blade rubs the drop-point a bit, though there is no noticeable scratching. The nickel bolsters out of the package look like they've already spent a year in someones pocket. The brass liners have a spot on them that looks like glue, but is actually a dark spot on the metal. The fit and finish is generally ok, with a few exceptions. This took minimal effort, and resulted in shaving sharp edges. I quickly sharpened it by: A)A few swipes on a cheap coarse diamond stone B)A few swipes on my Gatco-triceps, and C)Stropping on some cardboard. I have not had the chance to take my Sharpmaker to it yet, but I don't think I will need to. No wonder it came with a sharpening stone. This is the dullest knife I have ever purchased. It is a Nickel bolster knife, with delrin (fake bone) handles, and brass liners and pins. It has 3 blades A 1-5/8" sheepsfoot, a 2-1/8" drop-point, and a 1-7/16" clip point. Schrade claims it is "America's #1 Selling pocketknife!"
