warranty on fixed blades

[gkeenang]

hi, does anyone have experience sending in a fixed blade for repair/ replacement?

do they offer blade replacements for fixed blades for a small fee like they do on their folders? thanks

I sent a 110 fixed dive knife in that was rusting under the rubber grip. There is nothing they could really do with it so they gave me a $100 credit and sent the knife back, which I thought was very fair.

The fixed blades all appear to be one piece of metal so I can't imagine blade replacement is an option. Call them. Their customer service is very good. I've dealt with them many times and currently have some stuff with them.

They replaced the blade on my Nimravus for that small fee. $35, if I recall correctly... Which means they value the g-10 scales at around $110.

I guess I stand corrected. This is quoted from Benchmade's warranty form: "Blade replacement costs for non-warranty repairs (subject to availability) are $30 for satin blade and $40 for a black blade." It doesn't mention fixed vs folder blades. Call Benchmade and they will tell what options you have.
