2 worn down Benchmades

[A.P.F.]

looks like an over use of the blade, IE not enough stropping, too much sharpening. A lot of traditionals look like this after 30+ yrs, these models haven't been out for 10

Roger that.

Looks like a lot of sharpening on power equipment removing a lot more metal than was needed.

I've heard of worn down but this is just crazy..

Speechless....Seroiusly what can I say that hasn't already been said?

Looks like somebody with a lot of money & very little sense has been watching way too many prison shows & decided it would be cool to make a benchmade shank...

The top one still looks useable to me....
If the knife breaks, why not mess with it.

No this is the new UK-legal "pink class"

Looks like every slippie my GrandPa kept his entire life! I was lucky he gifted me an untouched John Primble 40+ years a go.

These would give me mixed feelings. I would be sad to see these in such a degraded state, but would be made happy at the prospect of having to buy a couple of new knives to replace them.

Reminds me that nothing lasts forever.

No this is the new UK-legal "pinko class"

Fixed that for you.

OK, the top one looks like if you knew what you were doing...not that hard at all, you could just put it on a belt grinder and do a full spine to edge grind and it would be sharp again. On the downside you would no longer have the benchmade butter flyer logo.

Benchmade posted these 2 on their Facebook page. The Griptilian looks like it was sharpened on a belt grinder with a very coarse grit

Thought you lot would like to see them.

The bottom one obviously got way too hot. Looks like an angle grinder ate it.
