Question: Using the tail end of this post...

While I love my 805-1101 I've noticed small finish loss on the blue spacers. I can see the color coming through in a few spots...and it bugs me.

Any of you have this problem and if so, have you sent the knife in for replacements under warranty?

It's a finish, finish wears off. If it doesn't affect functionality why even bother with warranty? It wouldn't be a repair, cosmetic issues are just that - cosmetic

One of my 806-701's (got it as a user and carry it once in a while) shows same wear. doesn't bother me one bit...

That surprises me, given the fact that they're recessed enuf to prevent (I would think) direct rubbing--

yeah, I'd take an 805M4....

That second line is what I was looking for Steve. Now I can relax a bit. Coming from you, with some of the prizes in your knife drawer, it's appreciated.

On the HOW, I'd suspect they got the bits rubbed off during the re-handling process when all of these had to go back to Benchmade...that's just my 'suspecting' and I should feel better about it also in the fact that the rest of the knife is flawless.

I wish BM would do an 805/6 with layered G10 in black and red and CPM M4.
