Benchmade knives

[DUBSY]

If you purchase a Benchmade knife from an online source such as Knife Center will you be able to participate life sharp program?

Should be no problem as long as it is not a knock off.  They have excellent customer service and very friendly.  They will even send you new pocket clips if you call and ask.

Yup - you should be fine.   I purchased one from a dealer on eBay 12 years ago and it has been back to Benchmade twice in that time for a little TLC.  No problem either time.

I bought a Mel Pardue pre production knife from e-bay for $18.  The seller never mentioned that the knife would not lock up safely.  I chalked it up to experience and threw it in a drawer.  Years later, I contacted Benchmade and asked them what they would charge to fix it.  They said send it in, so I did.  They replaced some parts and sent it back fixed, but with the caveat that they hadn't used the original parts, and I shouldn't use it.  Instead, suggesting that I store it (since it may have some collector value).  They also included a new knife that was very similar, a Benchmade 531 Axis.

All for free.
