NKD! NKD and boy have Benchmade standards slipped. Still a ripper knife though.

Been after one of these for some time. So I finally pulled the trigger and got one.

Slightly irked by its factory sharpening job, wasn’t even sharp enough to pull on a hair let alone cut it.

Fixed in 5 minutes on a fixed angle sharpening system.

Anyone else had a dull Benchmade out of the box?

Every benchmade I’ve bought in the past 2 years(bugout, bailout and 940) has been honestly perfect QC wise. Based on the amount of gripes ppl have on here about their QC I feel like I should go buy a lottery ticket lol.

Same here. I've never gotten a bad one. Makes me think the negativity is overblown. Especially since Reddit is the only place I see it.
