Jimmy :
My question is can I get a blue spacer to add to my 710 that is identical in appearance to the stock spacers ?
I posted this in a more subtle way earlier in this thread. It may have gotten over looked . . . or . . . something. The link I put in my post above to a detailed explanation of my problem posted earlier in the year has been disabled in the post above.
I will post the details bellow.
. . . so basically . . . bump.
BEGINNING OF DUPLICATE POST
In working with my 710 I noticed that if I inadvertently grip the scales while releasing the blade lock the blade will stay in place / not drop. If I then relax my grip the blade will drop and swing closed. I began wishing I had a spacer to prevent the sides from moving in and pinching the blade.
Hello . . .
while admiring the 710 in the sunlight I was looking at the relived areas in the steel liners and saw . . . small holes drilled about where I would want to place a spacer.
Do we suppose they planned to put one there and then decided not to ?
Had they contracted to have them put in but then the maker failed to follow through and no body has noticed yet.
Boy I notice and I notice that my Ritter Grip has a spacer / screw there and the Ritter flies open and closed like ten times better than the 710.
BENCHMADE . . . ARE YOU LISTENING TO THIS ! ! ! !
Will you send me a third spacer ? Maybe it just sets in there (if it had pegs on the ends it would) and does not require a screw. In that case I don't need to drill the scales. If it requires a screw I am FULLY PREPARED AND HAPPY to drill the scales and install it myself. Counter bore the hole in the scale. I can tap the hole on one liner and thread it too if needed. Work with me here . . .
Please, please, please with sugar on top send me a third blue spacer to put in there.
I want my 710 to work like my Ritter Grip.
