Carried my BM Adamas for 10 years of hard labor and decided to switch it up since I was getting scared to lose it. Hasn’t cut much yet but it’ll see its fair share of work soon.

Thought I’d post about old faithful since it’s a big milestone. Over 1/3 of my life, 10 years of everyday use in a very demanding blue collar field.
This knife has rode around in my pocket through gallons of sweat, cut miles of rope, rubber tubing, been a pry bar, screw driver, ice pick, duck cleaner, fish gutter, deer field dresser and a plethora of other things.
It has become one of my most prized possessions.
So I bought a 2016 f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost. While driving it home under a good amount of acceleration it shuddered, missed out and threw a flashing CEL. I got it home and changed spark plugs the same day. Truck started and ran great. I figured we were all good. Welp, about 400 miles later, I got a p0306 code, so I swapped the coil from #6 to #1 cylinder to see if my coil was the issue. About 200 miles later I got p0306 again. pulled the spark plug to look. It appears to be oil fouling so I take it to the dealership I bought it from (12 days ago) because it was a certified pre owned with 6 month/6000 miles powertrain warranty.
They drove the truck the past 2 days, about 45 miles, and couldn’t get it to duplicate the issue, no CEL, no misfire shudder nothing. I go get the truck and feel it miss a couple times but no CEL. Got home and pulled the plug again, it’s wet and black. So I bore scoped the cylinder and this is the video I took of it. All other cylinders I did look pristine.
Am I being unrealistic in thinking this scoring is unacceptable and needs addressed?
Should I ask the dealer to compression and leak down test this?
Truck has 64k miles right now. I’ve put about
