CRK won't retumble BG-42?

[La_Maleta_Azul]

I vaguely recall hearing that that CRK will not restonewash a BG-42 blade. Is there any truth to this?

 

[flyingjon]

Yes that's correct. I sent that knife in for spa and they wouldn't retumble it.

 

[La_Maleta_Azul]

That's odd. Any idea why?

I believe that is due to the potential of a stress fracture when removing the thumb stud.

That's what they told me too....

BG-42 is harder, therefore more brittle.

Is it the same deal with ATS-34?

Yes it is, CRK will not touch ATS-34 either.
