- After about 6 months of use and fidgeting, the omega springs broke. At first one side and then the other side. I just bought new springs to replace them as after the emailed Benchmade, they told me they were going to send new ones but didn't.

Your process for replacing these omega springs was VERY helpful (one side at a time). Great job!
I sold my Benchmade for this exact reason, using a framelock flipper now.
so i got the m4 version and it felt really gritty right out of the box and had a lot of lock stick so to took it apart and noticed a lot that could be better. the liners/housing for the axis lock has a rough surface so the edges of all of the holes are sharp to the touch and the rough surface adds to this almost like serrations so i polished the flat surfaces with a strop and inside the where the axis lock rides i had the perfect aluminum oxide 5000 grit sharper for sharpening blade serrations whic fit perfectly so i smoothed that out. i think with how rough that whole area is what causes these springs to wear out. but that wasn’t the worst of it. the hole for the pivot was so sharp and jagged that it was destroying my washers and the surface of the blade tang behind the washers had super aggressive machining lines but beyond that it was also very pitted. the surface that the other side of the washer rests against was also rough and the entire surface of the tang that the lock rides against was pitted and rough and the lock bar itself was rough. also the pivot itself is “D” shaped and the shoulders of the flat part of the “D” shape was rough because of machining lines. i polished all of that out and now it’s much smoother and zero lock stick…. i have two budget chinese axis style knives each cost exactly $50 and neither have any of those issues but my american made $200 benchmade had zero quality control.
Me too, BM customer service is great ... I hear. But my mini bugoits Omega spring been broke about 7 months and thou I've only tried calling 4 times and seen them say just send it in, it wasn't what id call great.
Why were there no broken spring inside the knife when you took it apart?
This is the first video I’ve seen that said Benchmades customer service was bad. I’ve personally talked to them and they’ve sent me an extra clip and screws for free. I’m assuming one slipped thru the cracks? Either way, thanks for the video. I know how to replace if mine breaks.
How much is the price for Shoppee Omega springs?
And here I thought Benchmade always covered bad QC with a good warranty service.. Now they won't even do that.. MFW they release an actual Bugout Slipjoint 😂
7 eight or 9 is not minimalist. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
This is just weird. Thousands of people had no problems whatsoever in many years, never had. And others have to deal with broken springs after weeks. Must be some faulty spring batch "made in china" or something. And regarding the customer service. Bechmade doesn't want you to fiddle with your knife yourself...
Anyone who thinks this is hard clearly never had masterblocks as a kid
Why on earth would anybody pay triple the price for a benchmade?
Yep...Benchmade is overpriced and then filled with awful quality.
