BM 520 Presidio Issue

[D154]

Hey all, I got a bit of a problematic situation. I have discovered that through giving a decent, but relatively light strike on the back of the blade, the axis lock on my 520 precidio fails...Now im not sure if BM would cover this kind of behavior, or if they would consider it abuse. I know that I have put one of my griptilians through much worse abuse by batoning through hardwood inch thick boards, without the blade loosening one freakin bit! So anyways I could use some input.

Unless you're trying to chop down a tree with the back of the blade, that's a defect. A functional axis lock is one of the strongest locks out there. And BM customer service tends to be good about this kind of thing.

Thanks man! thats my plan.

You might give the lock area a good cleaning to remove any debris, then give it another try.

I agree with Nightman.

Mine failed too, but after I cleaned the lock area, no more fails. If yours still fail, then it's time to contact Benchmade.

Yes, really interesting. Didn´t he read the thread or is he opening new ones any time he tries tot test the lock again?

Stop asking questions, that were already answered! Contact BM, they have replaced mine and will do with yours.
