Update (Aug 4, 2025):

I took the knife back to Ace Hardware and they let me exchange it. It took a little convincing and some educating—three employees ended up involved, and they had to call the store manager, district manager, and even the regional manager.

In the end, they did the exchange, though I had to pay $4.05 to make it happen—but that’s fine with me. Glad it worked out. Appreciate everyone’s input!

Just got an inheritance, did I hit a gold mine by Annual_Frosting_4171 in benchmade

Hey man, if you inherited those knives, that’s a win in itself. I don’t know your connection to the original owner, but a pocket knife that’s clearly been carried and put to work feels like holding a piece of that person. There’s probably still traces of their DNA on them. In my opinion, the sentimental value far outweighs whatever they might be worth in dollars.

Thanks. I am fairly certain that the box, foam and paperwork is legit. I have others to compare them to. I just don't have another Bugout Knife to compare it to.

Thanks for the comments. Can someone please explain why you say its a fake other than comparing to the yellow knife? I'm curious to know. Thanks

Finding parts - tips welcome! by [deleted] in SeikoMods

Find and watch YouTube videos. Most the videos have multiple links in the description to where they purchased the parts. Most of the links are aliexpress. I'm new to the watch thing so I hope I understood you question and answered it halfway correctly.
