Received the knife back. I requested a new blade that would be concentrick & properly sharpened and the axis lock checked. They replaced most of the hardware & blade & cleaned up the axis lock. The knife is now back in my hands and as I expected it to be. Also, had them swap the normal clip for deep carry. Benchmade is a really great company to deal with and really stand by there product and go the extra legnth to make sure customers are taken care of.
