Sometimes they've been folded in the box so long that happens. It came folded, right?
ive had it since christmas. and i ordered it custom from bm so i dont think that would happen
oh, that makes sense lol. im gonna put a piece of tape on it that says "DO NOT SHARPEN" because i put a really nice edge on it and i dont wang them to ruin it hopefully they will take care of it and replace both omega springs.
Yeah, Tell them you want both replaced. That's too bad. Call or email them first and get it set up. What kind of custom did you have done on it? Is it a Gold or something?
Don't bother emailing Benchmade. I've never had them respond to any of my emails.
Give them a call and they'll fix your issue. It will probably take 2 weeks and they'll have it back to you.

That blows. Especially since it's a custom order. I feel for you.
How do the pictures show what is broken? The knife doesn't close, or open, or what?
Not to hijack, but is this common with the Axis lock?

Still works with one spring correct?
Not that it matters as it needs to be fixed....just curious. Thanks.
No. Just a handful compared to the total volume of Axis knives they sell. Search for other threads regarding omega springs. Most seem to fail due to corrosion on the spring. Keep the knife clean and lubed.
I own 10 BM axis knives, some over 10 years of EDC with no omega spring issues.
