Hi there,
As posted here https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/benchmade-mini-freek-565-1-whats-on-the-handle.1780321 I received my first carbon fiber knife today (with the rest 3 good knives), but find some voids on handle.
Contacted the dealer, so far they are very good at service and said I can just send it back to get refund.
But they also states, "Carbon Fiber is well known for having these small voids in the resin, especially around complex shapes."
And they said they've opened another unit in store, tiny better, but still have voids.
May I ask your opinion, if it's hard to avoid to have voids on carbon fiber handle?
May I have your help to let me know if the similar situation is happened on yours as well?
I like the knife, if that's common, I will keep it, otherwise, I will return it and get another one later this year when I go to the physical store for selecting.
Thank you.
