i Just recently purchased mine I am very impressed with the quality of the sheath for a leather sheath its super thick and the blade came razor sharp which makes me super duper happy So nice review...
I would spray the blade with paint stripper. What's left of the coating will come right off and it'll look a lot better. A little oil will keep it rust free.
@TheSherminator64 Jasco stripper works better than most other brands. I recently used it on a Ka-Bar Mark 1, and it did a great job. Flitz polish easily removes any staining that develops. Best wishes.
so this is my actual account :). thanks for your reply. I've already seen the nutnfancy video (many times :D) but I think maybe the knife chipped because of a bad heat treatment. this happens sometimes and benchmade most likely exchanges the broken knife with a flawless one immediately.
if your knife was able to chop 5 inch thick branches...everything is all right isn't it?
Good review and even better that you don't talk like 10-20 minutes about a simple fixed blade. I also like the fact that you actually used your knife before you made this review. But there is one thing I'm curious about: have you tried batoning? You said it's probably not a good idea because of the thin edge but a knife with such a large blade...I only would take it with me in the woods if batoning wasn't any problem at all.
@becci1603 Yes I have tried batoning, I haven't batoned through a massive stump, maybe 5 inch logs at the largest, and i didn't have any problems, but because of the thin edge I don't think it'll be the best for chopping. I urge you to watch Nutnfancys videos on this knife, if you haven't already. he chips his by chopping.
Great review. You explained that nut fancy's review where he chips the CSK in cold high altiude climate. He is a doush bag x 100!

@whitethronebooks I am going to look into that, but I will definitely have to watch it for rust after that.
