Sidearms & Scatterguns benchmade adamas sheath failure

[MikeInUtah]

I recently picked up a Benchmade fixed Adamas knife. I am very impressed with the quality of the knife. However, I noticed one of the buttons that secures the elastic strap to the sheath broke off the first time I attached it. It doesnt appear to be properly riveted to the sheath and only partially molded to the bottom button half.

I contacted Benchmade and they are replacing it with no questions asked. I also asked if the replacement has any additional reinforcement to prevent this but they simply replied "It will be the same style of sheath as I do not have a different style that will fit your model. If you continue to experience any further issues with the sheath please let me know and I would be happy to send out a new one to you again."

I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue and anything I can do to reinforce it myself? Its a one piece molded sheath so I cant take it apart and rivet or use a screw/washer to secure the botton half.

Its highly unusual for anything from Benchmade to fail, and as you have discovered, their customer service is impeccable. That said, I have no experience with this particular sheath, and it could just be a shitty design, but I'm inclined to think that you just got the 1 out of a 1000. If this happens again to the new one, then you will have something to talk about.
