I was wondering if Benchmade will replace the blade in my 730s(on my dime, as this isn't a warranty issue). I loaned it to a buddy who pretty much trashed the serrations in an attempt to sharpen the blade. | ||

They will, as long as they have them in stock. Your best bet is to call and ask if they have any. __ Mitchell | |||

I'll give them a call tomorrow. If they don't have an original Ares blade, hopefully one from the more recent version will fit. | |||

benngunn, please let us know what they tell you when you call Benchmade about the blade swap. Personally, I think you may have some luck in them having a few serrated blades in stock. I know the two Leupold LE's were both serrated blades and that was just 2 or three years ago. If they have any of those, they would swap right into your handle. ********************** ********************** You are the Sum of Your Actions. Knife Rights Member | |||

I have had good experiences with blade replacement with Benchmade. I have had 2 total Benchmades blades replaced and IIRC the coated blades were 35.00 + shipping and the Satin blades were 25.00. The turnaround time on both was around a week and that included the day it was dropped off at my post office. Congrats on snagging the last 730 BK coated blade they had in stock. _________________________ Charter Member #3 Lum Lunatics : Ship's Sniper Member of "The Society for the Preservation of The AFCK" | |||

I told them that I'd take it. Hopefully they put it on hold for me under my customer ID #. | |||

Do you know what they typically charge for return shipping? I didn't think to ask them. Thanks, I lucked out in getting the last blade; would have preferred satin but coated will do(will be nice to be rid of the serrations though). | |||

I believe they charge 5.00 for return shipping so your total should be no more than 40.00. _________________________ Charter Member #3 Lum Lunatics : Ship's Sniper Member of "The Society for the Preservation of The AFCK" | |||
