We want to know how you like them as we are seeing some really wide variances in QC.

If you do have a warranty issue you can reach BM directly at 1-800-800-7427 as we have none to replace them with. We will do everything we can to help out any issues.

We expect the next batch to come out soon.

If you order before May 8th and have not received yours from us yet, you need to call us as their may have been a problem with your order.

Thanks and enjoy!

PS You should have seen the hoops we had to go through to get these knives.

PS 2 The KICK ASS new sheaths will be out soon so go to our order page and reserve yours. The prototypes are on the way to us so look for that info soon!

I placed my order on like the 20th of March...it was for a 42S ... I tried calling but I guess you guys were closed...i'll try to hit you back on Sunday morning and if not then, then on Monday morning.

Thanks.
 
Got mine at the beginning of the week and love it. Mine has a problem with the latch being malformed though so I'm gonna contact BM about it.

I got my pair earlier this week too.. one of them was okay I guess.. but like I whined before.. the other one had a latch that looked like a deformed.. deformed.. thing.. made by malaysian slaves in nebraska! >_< oh the horror!

oh BTW Jonas (aka 2SHarp) send me his new kydex sheath. His own friendly challenge to Draper's auto popper.. and from what I see from it.. it seems liek GOllnick's very own wet dream.

I have gotten three of them and all of the latches are deformed. One is curved and they are all uneven at the end where the latch contacts the handle. Only one "lip" makes contact with the handle.
 
Uhm Quicksilver27, how come you post the same pic twice? Its the same except its been rotated 90 degrees.

According to the package tracking, mine was shipped by 1SKS on 6/12. I paid for 3 day delivery, and it was scheduled to be here on 6/19. (I still can't get the math to work out.) As of today, it has not arrived.

I finally got my 42 on Friday. Mine has none of the problems other people seem to be having with theirs. Guess I'm just lucky!!
 
Got mine last week. The latch seems fine, a liitle rough on the finish where it's hidden by the handles, but overall function is fine. Mine is a user so as long as it latches tight I'm happy. The handles have remained nice and tight through several days of heavy use with just a small ding where the pin meets them. Overall, extremely pleased, more than worth the six Jags which I could have bought with the same cash.

Time to start saving for #2.

I'm pissed...I just got in a 42 that is so @#$%#$ up its a joke. I would post pictures if I could. First mistake They Misdrilled a hole in one of the handles. Trying to cover there mistake they filled it and buffed most of it out. Still very visible since the misdrill was on the edge of the handle. Then the handles are uneven. One's too loose while the other too tight. Then the latch looks all bent out of shape rounded corners overall just uneven. I'm a very disapointed customer. How did this ever pass QC?
 
That's too bad giar; my 1st run was real nice but the regular one, I got to play with, has a number of pin holes in the handle castings and the handle holes are not counter-sunk as nicely or at all. My latch seems to be fine but the blade is not very sharp; the point is (*&%^(&$ sharp as I've only stabbed myself 3 times so far!!!! Got to get used to those light handles.....

I recieved my 42 Thursday (7/20), after waiting since 5/19. It came in very nice condition, although it latches very tight both open and closed, perhaps too tight, we'll see. No dings, misdrills and it is VERY sharp. How tight should it latch, and how can tell if it's too tight? This is the first BM piece I bought (had some Jags in the past but actually broke a handle) and I don't know what to expect from a quailty knife as far as the latching.
