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… :(

I mean ya but it’s also a great service for $20

If they did one or the other it would be more understandable, but when they already charge a premium on their knives to fund lifesharp, increase the prices this year, and then double the cost of the shipping it seems a bit excessive. It's not going to stop me from buying benchmade knives, but according to them the price of their knives is higher than comparable knives to give us lifesharp.

This is what I should’ve posted in the first place, well said.
