Well I purchased a knife 2 weeks ago a Chris Reeve sebenza 21 with black micarta inlay I paid $550 for it from new graham knives well long story short stupid me left it on my bench beside my edge proband my 10 year old grandson got ahold of it and thought he was gonna sharpen it and really really messed the blade up to the point I had to send it back for a new blade. It all may fault for leaving it where I did in the first place. But I know this may be a stupid question but do you think they would replace the blade and not charge me, but if not I completely understand. When I filled out the form online I told them what had happened and asked them if there was anyway they could cut me a discount on the blade. It took me quite a while to save up for this knife and to have to spend $150 like 2 weeks later is really hurting right now. But I’m the one at fault and take full responsibility for what happened. Thanks
 
That stinks but I doubt they are going to comp you a new blade

ETA: Atleast your grandson didnt get hurt
 
If CRK had a dollar for every messed up blade they received with a note saying "Plz help, my kinfe waz broked by my dog/kat/wife/toddler/boss/archnemesis" they'd probably be rich.

Just keep your knife in your pants, problem solved.
 
How fortunate/lucky that the child never hurt himself. It must have frightened you to think what could have happened.

I don't think that you are going to get a free blade out of them. This was a clear case of abuse.
 
Asking if they'll comp you a knife blade o_O

Be thankful your grandson did not get hurt. Be proud of him for wanting to help out.
Make a thread in the Want to Buy forum and see if someone has an extra blade they’d sell, if you luck up and find one, you can send it in for fitting. That may save you some money.
 
If you do end up sending it back to CRK, ask them to send you the original blade back and you can use it as a beater. If you end up wanting to sell it for pretty cheap to offset some cost, I may be interested.

On the bright side, atleast the kid didn’t get hurt, and you can be thankful that CRK even offers blade replacements at all.
 
I love this thread. Unanimous opinions that boil down to "thankfully the kid is ok."

Guys on this forum have their priorities straight, and I'll add to the dogpile of being glad that the kid is ok. The blade... it's replaceable.
 
I'm curious to see what the blade looks like. I can't imagine it's not something a decent sharpener can fix for less than those 150$. I mean "tried to sharpen" doesn't sound like he smashed the edge on concrete, and it's more like really scratched up, nothing that needs a blade entirely replaced, hence I am curious.
 
Please don’t leave knives in the reach of children that young. Its one thing to teach them to use them supervised but even after teaching them you shouldn’t leave them alone with them.
 
Yes the main thing here is that he didnt get hurt. Period!! I could care less about the knife as a whole loss. Just thankful he didn’t get hurt. No I’m not asking for them to replace the blade free of charge. Just maybe some kind of discount. If not that completely fine with me. Like I said the main thing is the little man didn’t get hurt.

I didn’t get to take a picture before I sent it back yesterday but the tip was ground down pretty bad and ground down on both sides quite a bit.

I'd just have them sharpen it and maybe correct the tip a little and don't get a new 150 dollar blade for now. You have a fine working knife and you can always go a different route later on, be it a completely new blade from somebody like Josh in a higher end steel, or go the CRK route for a new blade later on. My two cent.

I’m new to this forum so this may be a stupid question but who’s Josh and does he make blades for different knives?
 
Why is everyone worried about the kid? I had a knife when I was 10. Bought it myself. No one thought that was child abuse. The kid just tried to sharpen it. I've known adults who ruined a blade trying to sharpen it.

Too bad the blade was damaged. That I get.
