Welcome Nate, glad to know Benchmade's going to take care of you, that's why they have the following they do...at the same time, sorry your 580 had problems but they're making it right for you so congrats.

Let us know how it goes!

I was just wanting to send the knife in and get another model or something, but I was totally surprised that they would send me another 130 dollar knife, totally unnecessary but really doing customer service right!

WOW, BM Customer Support is still knocking it out of the park.

Nothing is flawless, sorry to hear about you run of bad luck.

I tried to fix my wiggle problem and now I have a dangerous slip-joint that still wiggles when open...


I have no idea what to do with it now. I wouldn't even want a new 585, this is the first Benchmade I regret buying.

Anybody know how much it'll cost to fix? It might be worth it because there is no way I would sell it in it's current condition.

Call Benchmade (phone is much better than email).

It'll probably cost you $5 + shipping. If it's a warranty type issue you shouldn't have to pay the $5. If you really screwed something up it might cost slightly more.

Sorry to read you're having this problem. Follow KCSteve's advice and call Benchmade at 800-800-7427 and ask for Customer Service, they will take care of you.

Just got a 585 about a week ago. I like it a lot. It will be my new edc. If I could make one change to it I would put some G-10 grips on it. I don't care for the feel of the current grips. They're to smooth and they make the knife feel cheap.

Welcome DapperDan,

Yeah, I agree the 585 is a great knife, and even with the Valox scales is a good buy. Yes, the G-10 scales make a big difference in the look, feel, and handling of it.

There was a LE run of 250 done in G-10 and they will show up from time to time I'll bet, AND I hope Benchmade will come up with separate G-10 upgrade slabs in the future. These knives deserve that extra touch.

And welcome to the Forum!
