Not to worry. Send it back. They'll send you a new one. No more problem.

Do these have a pocketclip? I've never lost a knife with a clip. Some of my LEvi's get shredded by the clips sometimes because they hold so aggressively.

I've had a Manix2 in CPM M4 which was nice and clean, but I'm not a fan of rust or patina.

I just gave a serrated Ladybug to my wife for his birthday. It could be a lifesaver. It's light enough that she will actually carry it.
