Benchmade

[jackelope]

Gotta give props. I have a few Benchmade knives but never took advantage of the lifetime free sharpening deal they offer. 2 weeks ago I decided to send one of my pocketknives off to them.  Just got it back today. Cost me $10 for shipping. Blade restored to factory new edge along with cleaning, lube, whatever else. 
I’m impressed. The blade is really sharp. Knife looks great.

I’ve got a couple I need to send in could use a new factory edge and a few need new pocket clips. Benchmade makes a dam nice knife

Carry a small one almost daily.
A little Leerch 2".
They stay sharpest the longest of any knives I've owned .

I have what appears to be the identical knife but with a serrated blade. Love the knife but hate the blade. Would they re-blade it?

You'd likely have to pay for a new blade almost as much as a replacement knife, but it might be worth calling them and finding out. They are really high customer service.

Ya, I'd certainly expect to pay for it. The knife was a gift so it's sentimental.

They will replace it for a fee:

If I remember correctly you’ll pay $70 ish for a blade on that knife. It’s a Mini Barrage.

They lost a lot of customers when they went bragging about cutting up guns for LE....then came back with mealy mouthed response.

Just send in the knife. I had a mini griptilian that had a serrated knife originally. I broke it in half and they sent me a brand new non serrated blade.

Ehh.. They realized they made a mistake and they owned it. I'm fine with them, and also realize not everyone else will be. Given the current state of the world and the current push towards made in America goods, they're very made in America.

"Elliott didn’t offer excuses. In fact, he told me he “wasn’t surprised by the response” to the images, and that it was a “powerful statement..that was out of context.”

Benchmark, he explained, has “always supported the Second Amendment, and the Oregon City Police Department.”

“We remain committed to doing both,” he said, “but we’re not going to be destroying firearms again.”

In this instance, he said, the company “has to own it.”

I don't remember them bragging. PD asked for help and the PD burned them with the social media post. They got punished for being pro law enforcement.
