200 hrc

[wolf606]

I just purchased one.
On the bm website it says 60-62 hrc but everywhere else suggests lower.
What should I expect?

 

[Benchmade]

All, current 3V blades should be heat treated to 60-62 HRc

 

[wolf606]

From when and how would I know if I have older stock?

There is a date code on the box. If was after fall 2019 it should be 60-62 HRc. You can send it in to get tested if you would like verification.

October 2019
Sending it in is not feasible as I'm from the UK
How disappointed am i.
Maybe more transparency is needed on your website.
I brought a knife going by the specs on the manufacturer's website and expect it to be within this spec

Fair enough I will be sending this back to where I purchased it.
Thanks for kinda helping

They have no new stock in.
I'm f****d

Send it to me. I'll pay postage to Canada.

No I need a properly heat treated 3v knife and better support from bm
