There's never a dull moment with a Benchmade... That's right! Benchmade will gladly re-sharpen your Benchmade knife to a factory razor sharp edge (service does not apply to any serrated portion of the blade). If you prefer them to sharpen your blade, or if you may have neglected to maintain your edge for a while, simply ship your knife to us. They will not only sharpen it, but will also inspect the knife for any warranted repairs and "tune" the knife for optimum performance. Simply ship the knife to the Benchmade address, postage paid and insured.
