benchmade lifesharp

danfisher · Feb 27, 2003

has anyone cashed in on benchmade's lifesharp warantee program? i was thinking about sending my 551 combo back to be sharpened. it's got some flat spots and the serrations are tricky.

any experience?

i like the new finish on their blades and i'm not the most experienced sharpener. i'd hate to leave scratches in the flat of the blade.

thanks for any input.

they're good about looking over you knife and replacing and sharpening whats needed, but THEY DONT SHARPEN SERRATIONS

Yes, that's lame of them....

I bought my Griptilian and was told about LifeSharp, but the salesperson didn't mention that....

They will make you happy. I have known a lot of my customers who have sent them back and got them back and loved how Benchmade sharpened and cleaned the knives.
I had one customer who blew his up. We sent it back (in 3 bend up peices) and low and behold they sent them a brand new knife. No charge.

Benchmade Lifesharp rocks. I sent my 550 Grip in to get sharpened and the replaced the nylatron washers with new bronze phosphorous ones for no extra charge. Angie from Benchmade is the best.

I used the Benchmade LifeSharp service once for a brand-new knife that had a small ding in the blade and turn-around time was about two weeks. Unfortunately the knife was returned with a clear clamp mark in the BT coating on the spine. I've never heard of this before so maybe I was unlucky.

6 years ago I sent benchmade a CQC-6 (I think it was a 6) with a broken tip and a fairly long complaint letter (the tip broke while I was trying to pry two PLASTIC washers apart!). I asked for a new blade for the knife and included no return postage because I was annoyed that the tip broke doing something so easy. Instead, they sent me a AFCK full size. I was shocked and pleased - I never really liked the tanto on the CQC-6.

I think you meant to say CQC-7.
