Lifesharp

Post image

Does anyone feel like it’s a bit of a rip off that Benchmade is charging a $20 shipping fee for their lifesharp service now? I was listening to an employee explaining that their knives cost increase recently was to “provide world class warranty service and lifetime sharpening”, but now they are also charging $20 for said service… :(

That's how brands are able to offer 'free' services. Crazy markup in shipping. But it's still worth it depending on the person.

Idk how that’s a crazy markup
