For those of you who own Benchmade knives you probably know that they offer a program called Lifesharp where they will re-sharpen any of their knives (once a year) back to factory specs for a $5 fee. I recently sent my 906 to them and just received it back today, razor sharp. They also buffed out the scratches I had put on the blade and cleaned and lubed it like new. It took just short of 2 weeks from my local post office back to my front door via Fedex.

Not sure this would be the deciding factor in picking one knife over another, but it's a pretty good example of a commitment to customer service.

As much as I have tried to learn the art of sharpening knives I'll just never master the craft. Nice to know that a company will back me up.

Cheers!
