Benchmade Skirmish small problem

Well to be honest, I think benchmade should have never introduced the red class knives. It shows me they are willing to sell cheaply made over seas of a lower quality. They IMHO should have kept to the high quality knives they are (were) a high quality brand and as such should be selling higher quailty knives. They wanted to down grade a line of knives and now everyone has a benchmade, and it's no big deal to own a safe full of them.

What does red class knives have to do with the Skirmish.
It is a blue class knife, came in a blue box, not made in china.
 
I wouldn;t be so hard on Benchmade before you give them a chance. I own too many of their knives to know they make one of the best production class knives anywhere..... by anyone. Their customer service is excellent too, based solely on my experiences.

For some reason, I was under the impression you ground the hell out of the blade. I should've known better than that, and apologize for thinking you did that. If all you did was sharpen it, you shouldn;t have any problem sending it in. As I said before, and as others did, it is indeed a design flaw. I can forgive them - they're too good a knife-making company to trash them for a mistake here and there. Besides that, you're not going to be presenting anything new to them. Without a doubt, they've had to fix many of these Skirmishes.
 
Sorry about dragging up this old thread, but I just got a brand new Benchmade HK 14205 and it's doing the same damn thing.

In my effort to take apart the spacer, I stripped the screw :( I used a proper T6 torx screwdriver and everything, but instead of unscrewing, the damn thing stripped off. Same thing happened when I tried the other side.

I don't feel like spending $8 or whatever in shipping, so I am considering just filing the spacer down without removing it and then just sharpening the nick out of the blade.

I'm not sure though. If I go through the trouble of shipping the thing out to them, spending money on shipping, and waiting a few weeks, and then them not fixing it because they considered my actions voiding the warranty (by accidentally stripping two of the screws) I'll be ticked.

Think they'll still repair it I send it in after filing a groove into the spacer?
