Would benchmade recoat the tip of this?
ETA: not for free of course, but for a feee, could they just coat the tip and leave the markings alone

| Doubt it. Since it's discontinued I doubt you can get the blade replaced either, though they might have spares available. Their black coating is not very good. The Cerakote they put on some of the newer models isn't bad, but in general black coated blades are pretty bad/mallninjaish unless it's a really quality coating like PVD or DLC. In general though, if you want a blade to look fairly pristine after use, don't go with a coated blade. Go with a stonewashed one if you want that. You're not sneaking up on people in the dark to stab them, a black coated blade isn't that useful. |

Meh. It's a knife. Get over it.  OP, rub it on your purse and see if it'll buff out. I've heard that tears shed while watching Lifetime channel will reblue steel....
to answer your question, I would say that Benchmade will hook you up. It's a good company. |
| OP, DG is not the place to ask for advice on things like that. People have different ideas on how things should be used, and taken care of. Lots of people forget that just because it wouldn't be important to them, doesn't mean it's not important to you. The best thing you could to do is talk to Benchmade and ask them. Or could look at someone who does knife work. |

I have over a dozen BM models but only three that are first production or limited runs. This isn't a tool in my book Then how did it get scuffed in the first place? Were you carrying it in your pocket and using it to cut things? Because that sounds an awful lot like something you'd do with a tool, to me. |

No, they don't fix cosmetic damage under warranty because that's what happens when you actually use a knife.
Why do people buy black coated stainless steel blades anyway? Unless you're a stealth ninja super assassin, it doesn't make much sense. It can really only be for looks and even then it only looks good until you use it. |

What is the turn around on that? I've got a couple that couple that could use some work. Quoted:

Why buy a black coated blade for looks when it's only going to look worn quicker? It's not like the black wears off a rifle when you shoot it.

Second I would say; bro, that is a knife, the tip doesn't even look damaged and I think that is a character mark. |

I had a Osborne 940 that looked similar and was very proud of my well used knife. When I sent it back to Benchmade to fix a broken spring, they replaced the blade (along with all the screws and belt clip) at no charge. I was somewhat disapointed, but was happy that they never charged me. An unused knife is a useless knife. |
