1SKS is getting their BM42's starting this week. They said all back orders will be filled within 10 days! I know a bunch of us ordered from them, so now the wait will finally be over!!

Woohoo! Now I'll only have one item back ordered from them (Kershaw Boa). I was at a knife shop in the mall about a week ago but they only had the serrated version in stock. So very sweet to handle, even if I didn't have the opportunity to do any openings or closings, but I refuse to settle for a combo edge on a 42.

1SKS charged my Mastercard for my BM 42 on June 30th. It should be here within the next few days.

I am excited to finally get some 2 handed workouts with the 42's.

My Visa was charged by "W.O.W." in Fla. 7/5/00 and I'm looking forward to receiving my BM-42s and BM-42

If you Pre-Ordered your knife a long time ago (for the real nice LOW price)make sure you check your receipt they e-mailed you long ago vs. the current charge to your card. They must be REAL busy as the amount was not even close to the amount I should have been charged.

I'm sure it was an honest mistake. Just a "heads up". Oh, and you guys be grateful they are sending me 1/2 of my order so they can get more orders filled faster. So 2 flipping fans will be happy cuz of me... BM-30's will be gladly accepted as gratuity

Has anyone received their BM 42 from 1SKS yet? My credit card was charged on 6/30, but I have not received my bali or even an email from 1SKS telling me if it was shipped.

I called to have mine shipped to a different address (im in dallas for the summer) and the guy said its being shipped sometime this week so I expect it before 7/21.....
 
I shipped over 50 seperate orders of them yesterday, and about 10-15 the day before - so there should be a ton of proud owners between tomorrow and next Thursday.

Perversely, the guys in Alaska and Hawaii may have them soonest since they had to be sent 2nd day air - so some of you guys should see them some time tomorrow.

Check your order numbers on the UPS tracking page on 1SKS - that will show where it currently is. Above all, be patient - if your card was charged, then your BM-42 has been shipped

Ohhhh man......

" Most all 42S's have been shipped! "

I think that i am one of the unlucky few that does not qualify in "MOST" ... i guess it's more waiting for me....

UPS's tracking system isn't real anyway. They have only the vaugest idea of where your package is at any time.

UPS's system was thrown together quickly in response to FedEx allowing customers direct access to the legendary FedEx tracking system. FedEx is actually a very young company. Their whole process was designed around package tracking. Computers, bar codes, etc., have been an integral part of how they do business from day one. And their website doesn't give all the details the know. If you call their 800 number, they can actually give you the GPS coordinates of your package. I've literally had them tell me, "Your package is in truck number XYZ in the 6000 block of 5th street moving southeast at 27MPH. The driver expects to deliver it to you between 10:25 and 10:35AM." Now that's tracking!

UPS added the technology of tracking to their existing system. It's an add-on. As is often true of add-ons, it's just not as good as original equipment.

The other fact is that UPS really doesn't care if you get your package or not. They've already been paid and their rules and terms and conditions are such that if one of their drivers deliberatly takes your package out back, unloads a shotgun into it, and burries what's left of it, you will not get a refund for your shipping much less any payment for contents. Oh, they claim to have insurance and they claim to have money-back guarantees, but just try to collect and you'll find out about their fine print.

They don't care if you get your package or not. They're the biggest ship in the shipping business and one or two disappointed customers here and there don't bother them.

Their employees don't care about you or your package. They don't have to. They are rude and difficult.

That's why I prefer USPS or FedEx. You can't beat FedEx for hussle and for customer service.

I received my BM42S + BM42 Friday. UPS Kindly left the package by my garage door. The BM-42 plain edge was excellent quality, but I'm considering sending my 42S back to Benchmade as the cup depth in the Latch handle is not deep enough. Trying to close it puts tremendous pressure on the pins. The end of the latch is flush with the handle when the pin is in contact with the cups, and has to flex the entire distance of the 1/2 circle end of the latch to engage the latch. The non latch handle is parallel to the blade when in contact with the cup, the latch handle is way off axis..... :-( Any ideas on how to deepen the cup?? .. or should I return it to Benchmade? Oh FYI the Plain edge knife is just FINE with open (cup) and close (kick)pressure equal. Kick is easy to adjust, Just my luck the Cup is so far off. :-(
