Probably a dumb question, but what is the hole near the tip for &amp; 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.

Right where the blade and handle come together as you are looking at the sharpe side the blade to the right side of the blade in the handle there is a small piece with jagged edge on it. You push this slightly to the side towards the handle and it releases the blade to close it. This is very hard to explain on the comment section. It is just a small piece of metal with jagged edge next to the blade you push towards the handle and the blade releases. I hope this helps.

Mine didn't come with anything for that hole. I'm guessing that's for some sort of accessory but I have no idea what that might be.

Those two grey ovals at either end of the blade in the picture are the washers that go on either side of the center hole. I had the same doubts before I ordered mine so I went to a local store to buy one. when I saw it in real life it became clear so I ordered it from Amazon for $4.00 less.

Are you pushing the release? It is inside of handle where blade is. On the pivot end of handle

There is piece of metal that snaps into place when the knife is opened. It is serrated near the end where it holds the blade. Depress this and the blade will close after pressing it towards the handle. Be careful!

There is a piece of metal in the middle. Have the blade up and the sharp edge towards you. Near the top of the opening of the handle you will see the metal in the middle. It needs to be pushed to the left and pull the blade down while having it pushed over. I hope that helps but it is the best I can describe it.

It looks to me like a design deficiency without any real fix. There is a lot of room between the base of the blade and the inside of the handle that can't be tightened up because of internal mechanisms and spacers.

I just watch the video one replier sent you. In the video it looks like it uses the wrong end of the handle tube in the jack or it is not the same as mine. The part with the foam on the handle is the one to in insert into the jack. The foam is to prevent damage to the vehicle if it was to come into contact. Not sure what he is doing. LOL I have know way of sending you a pic on here or I would. sorry.

There are NO HOLES in the end of the blade. There is a SEMI-CIRCLE cutout on the end. I have a photo if needed

Actually that hole is important. First, if anyone was to try to fire a ceramic piece that thick, it would likely shatter. Second, it helps air get into the handle when you cook, making the handle cooler when you get ready to serve the tasty stuff to your guests. I have had good luck with these, by the way.

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.

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

There are 2 basic positions, "half-way up" & "fully extended"...there's a 3rd if you're mindful to use it, it's actually the "half-way up" but instead of using the narrower part of the handle arm, you can fully extend it then release the lock button and push the top half of the handle back down leaving the thicker bottom part up. (hope that explanation was easy to understand)...Hope this answer helps.

On the inside of the handle is a silver piece you push over and the blade closes. :)

Loosen the nut close to the handle, pliers will be needed. The tip will slide off. Do not tighten very much.

I tried to measure the "post" diameter, but I could not get to it from underneath and the saddle itself is attached with some sort of #3 Hex Cap that I could not seem to remove (like it is attached with red loctite?) The outer diameter of this hex-cap is 1.258", so the hole under that must be smaller (and apparently "threaded"? I will try to post some photos in a review momentarily.
