Hmmm!

Sent in my Proper 319 to change the blade to a clip. BM sent it back with another Sheepsfoot in it. I have sent them an email. We shall see what they want to do.

Good luck. If that's a non-knife guy who is handling your request, he may clip the point off the blade.

Personally I think that request is a bit much. I think the warranty model is based on replacing damage to the blade over a lifecycle of use. Switching back and forth between blade types for a minimal fee seems like a losing deal for BM.

Then why do they offer it for a fee of $70, which I do not consider minimal?

How much does that average BM knife cost? And how much of that cost is the blade? $70 for a BM blade seems about right.. but I personally would never just let people buy whatever blades they want. It would be for warranty issues or wear-out.

I've never heard of Benchmade allowing you to switch the blade style on your knife when you send it in for work. As far as I know, they'll only replace it with the same blade style you purchased it with.

They'll probably tell you to buy a clip point version if you want a clip point, and I think that's perfectly reasonable for them to do.

They're like $100 new.

I believe they’ve been discontinued.

A few years back, I sent in a Stryker with a tanto blade and got them to replace it with a drop point blade. This was back when blade replacement was only about $30.

I do not know what "change the blade to a clip" means.

I was told by BM (phone call, IIRC) that if you buy a custom knife they will allow you to replace other custom parts for it later on. Example: upgrade G10 scales to carbon fiber (assuming the option is available for your knife)
