I just received my first bark river knife via courier a few hours ago which I purchased from DLTtrading. This is a Bark River Bravo 1.25 LT made with CPM Cruwear steel.
There are three defects in the knife which are unacceptable for a $260 price tag
The sharpening choil of the knife has been ground because the knife slipped while on the grinding belt causing a very uneven corner on one side of the knife
There is a hole in the epoxy at the back of the handle where the liner meets the micarta slab.
Lastly which I did not show in the video, there is a nick on the belly of the blade like touched hit a hard metal object and rolled the edge.
I bought this knife from DLTtrading and I want to return it because I am not going to accept this level of quality and finish for such an expensive item that I paid a lot of money for. I really like the design and looks of the knife so I am going to exchange this knife and not get a refund.
I have never done this before, so should I contact bark river or dlt to start the exchange procedure?
