Yep, been a Buck fan for years. My first was a Stockman, which I've used to field dress many a deer. Broke the pin on that first knife and sent it back to Buck w/letter asking them to replace the pin and let me know charges as I was abusing the knife cutting out a hole in sheetrock for a window unit when it broke.
The sheepsfoot blade was about 1/2 worn away by the many sharpenings over a number of years and I was very clear in my letter that the knife didn't owe me anything, so to please charge for repairs.
Very shortly I received what was most likely a new knife or my old one with new handles and sheepsfoot blade @ no charge. I've bought many Bucks over the years for gifts and always have one or three handy ever since.
Haven't used a fixed blade knife ever since I got the Hunter and actually use the Stockman for 99% of my field dressing.
Regards,
Clarence
