REG BLADE CRACK AT THUMB STUD!

Reblast, clean tune and inspect.

Not asserting anything at all, but that's why I asked if there was any "impact" on the blade recently. To wit, I am fully aware of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.

Hard to say if there were any impact during shipping or while at CRK. Nothing visible on the blade. Looks perfect to my eye.

I have had 2 knives(non CRK) I shipped show cracks on delivery. One was sent back to the original owner days after my buying(no use by me). I have wondered if temperature change could create or bring out (not visable) cracks.

Interesting thought. Not sure, I would think it would take some extreme temp changes to cause something like that. That is a pretty thin area on the blade so who knows. In any case it F*#!ing sucks. Haha

The shipping very well could have had nothing to do with the crack but when you mentioned shipping the instances came to mind. They were the only 2 I have had with cracked blades, and there was no notice of the crack before shipping.
But I don't go over my knives with a microscope

No word back?

Called CRK Tuesday after not getting a response through email. Spoke with Sawyer, he said that they may have some bg42 blades if that is what I prefer but he would have to check his stock. In any case they do have s30v blades for replacement. Either way I’m thrilled to be able to get the knife repaired! Great customer service over at CRK even though I had to call to get a response.

One week turn around on the blade replacement. Got her back yesterday from CRK with a new Bg42 blade!!! Couldn’t be happier!

Eric Alp - glad they took care of you! also, good to hear they are still sitting on some BG42 for these types of situations! lifetime means LIFETIME

Happy end and enjoy the BG42!

Happy to hear they are still supporting these knives! I am hoping to get ahold of a specific Regular in the future and definitely will want it to be supported/serviced by CRK for decades to come!

Not sure how much is left but let’s hope there is enough for a very long time.

Wow that’s awesome, glad it worked out so well for you.
