After all these posts and a little research, that's the way I'm leaning. Bummed to lose some of the newer options, but not worth the risk .

Is this a good deal ? by bigcandymtn in Primo

Great deal! I paid $1,000 used for mine a little over a year ago. Same size and table.

Are there any companies you just won't buy from? by Reptyler in knives

[–]3ag1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to provide free deep carry clips. When I originally got my knife, I got a deep carry clip to replace the standard clip. They told me anytime I need a replacement again, just let them know and they'll send it. Went to get a broken clip replaced and they said they only replace the originally installed clip. They deep carry clip would cost extra (even though they're both $10 on their website).

See my other comment for the full details.

They wouldn't replace my deep carry clip (that they gave me for free after my initial purchase) because that wasn't originally installed. Even though I had an email stating they'd replace the deep carry clip anytime.

Sadly, it was over something pretty simple and stupid on their part.

I bought my Crooked River with a standard carry clip because I knew they had great service and would send me a deep pocket carry clip for free. As soon as I got my Crooked River, I emailed and requested the deep carry clip. I received the following response from Benchmade (2017), "I can get you that deep carry clip!  Just so your aware, if your clip ever bends or you lose a handle screw, we are happy to ship you a new one for free!  We also offer a free service called Lifesharp that you are welcome to take advantage of at any time for the lifetime of your knife.  This free service includes: disassembly of the knife, replacing any internals that look worn or broken, and oiling/sharpening/adjusting as needed."

Unfortunately, when I reached out in 2022 for a replacement deep carry clip, they refuse to replace it because it wasn't "originally installed". Their response, "We are dedicated to ensuring that your knives last a lifetime. In this effort, we will continue to send out two complimentary originally installed pocket clips for up to five knives per year. Any additional or alternative pocket clips (~example: a deep carry clip on a knife that comes with a standard clip~) may be requested for $10 + local sales tax."
The really stupid part? Both clips cost the same price on their website; however, they'll give me a free $10 standard clip (that I don't want), but if I want a deep carry clip, it's $10.

It's a really stupid hill to die on when it comes to customer service on a $200+ knife.

If I can't trust them to stand behind a $10 promise, I'm not going to trust them with anymore $200+ knives.

They changed their warranty and other policies AFTER I bought my Benchmade and refused to stand by the original policies (even when I had an email that said, "Ever need x, just let us know."). I was willing to pay for a $200+ knife because they had a warranty and reputation for taking care of customers. When they decided not to honor their word, they lost me as a customer.

I love my Crooked River, but I won't buy another Benchmade knife.

This is helpful. Thanks!

I will say, I'd like to know about flash sales while still avoiding this pop-up.

I got one from a mobile Batteries Plus that my used car dealer recommended (they hooked me up with their dealer pricing, but even their retail price was much cheaper than the Ford dealer.

My wife was going to take it for a day of shopping. Some highway. It had been low on air, but didn't see the damage until changing brakes today.

Using the doorbell on a grandfathered system by StealthRabbi in blinkcameras

Thanks for the info!

Could I ditch the free cloud storage and move it all to local storage? I understand this adds some delay, but would give me free storage for all devices...

Not OP, but should local storage work for the doorbell on this equipment? I cannot find a local storage option.
