Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

I also went on the Buck web page and emailed them to ask about their "forever warranty" and explained that I snapped the tip and how they would fix it and if it would be covered or a billable to me. I figure it cant hurt to ask

 

Doesn't hurt to ask. I broke one of my knives of Alaska,the Brown bear I believe,broke it in half beating it with my hatchet breaking an axis hip bone. Sent it in with insurance,a 200$ knife. They replaced it and sent me a cashier's check for shipping refund,now that's service.

 

I'm a Case knife nut. Maybe check those?

 

I'd start with the back of blade at break and rebuild the curve.

 

Nice thats what I am hopeing for but wont be surprised if it is on me

 

Just snapped this quick shot of only the knives here in my basket where I keep my keys, wallet and other stuff. I usually carry either one of these everyday. You can tell which ones gets carried the most tho
Yeah, i'm a big benchmade and zero tolerance fan. I have a few balisongs too, but i'm not great at flipping. I also have a ZT0303 and a new Benchmade 300SN ball axis flipper I keep in my rollaway at work, as well as a few CRKT/Kershaw knives I loan out to friends. There is no way I will loan out a benchmade or zero tolerance out to even my best buddy while in the shipyard.
I have lots of other knives, but the ones mentioned above and pictured below are the only ones worth mentioning. I'm not a collector. I use my knives

Top to bottom
Zero Tolerance 0561
Zero Tolerance 0200ST
Benchmade 9100 auto stryker
Benchmade 2550 auto mini reflex
Benchmade Bone collector 15020-2
Benchmade mini griptilian

 

sweet set there

my next knife is gonna be a ZT....


after I finish my MT


but those auto strykers are so fucking badass.
my dad and I have one each, got them from "someone" who was "given" a bunch.

when I'm at home I EDC the stryker, when I'm here I EDC the rift

since autos are frowned upon in this establishment

 

Thanks Kona
My little brother is an army Blackhawk pilot (CW3) so he can get the Benchmade autos all day. Plus working at Pearl Harbor, I can get them off the sailors pretty easily too. Sometimes you can find them on Ebay if the seller hides the fact that they are autos and nobody reports it. that's where I got the mini reflex from
Here is one. Surprised it hasn't been reported yet:

I LOVE my 0303 and 0561. As a machinist, I really appreciate all the machining that goes into the one piece titanium frame lock/scale. They are so beautiful! I like that they are two different colors. The 0303 is black anodized titanium tho. The 0561 has ball bearing pivot, so it opens just as fast as the spring assisted 0303.

 

I want a ZT so bad, but theyre so much $$....haha

BM's 950 rift was the most I've ever spent on a knife at $200, but those....

 

I love the tooling that goes into the rift though, the g10 handles are awesome

 

I had a rift too.
It seems like the black coating on benchmades wear out quicker than the ZTs.
And I got the ZT0561 new off ebay for $185 shipped
Just gotta be patient

 

That's because it isn't a coating on the zt, it is a tungsten coating that is chemically bonded to the blade, it isn't really like a coating, it is a lot tougher and works differently


And it doesn't come off without grinding, no chemical is gonna get it off, trust me, I tried to get the coating off my zt0350, it is not coming off

 

I just heard back from Buck. They said to send it in for evaluation and they will take care of it. If not warranty then a blade replacement is 10 bucks.

 

Not bad.
end a note with it that you want same quality as original,not crap.

 

Just got this.. Baby SWAT knife. disappointed.

Anyone know where I can find the Father of this knife? All I've seen out there was the SWAT spring assisted one.. I lost the first version of this knife and I couldn't find it anywhere.. :banghead:

 

Just got this Lon Humphrey, it's pretty sweet.

 

Ya good idea I will

 

Just got one of these. Nice knife, but a little disappointing it had China etched on it. I was under the impression Kershaw knives were all made in the USA. I guess not so much any more.
