Can anyone understand the rationale behind the blade not being replaceable?

Why would it need to be replaced? Its not meant for multiple rescues, its for you when you need it. If your looking for a tool that is built for that then you need to be looking into some heavier equipment like firefighters use.

I just looked at my cutter, and I don't understand how the blade "jams", unless it has been bent; there is nothing for it to hit, or jam against, unless something has changed shape. How long have you had the Stik? You might contact Fiskars. They have been very generous when I've spoken to them. If you need a replacement blade, they should be able to help you, if the movable blade is bent. If the stationary blade is the problem, I'm not sure if it can be replaced; the movable blade is held by one bolt, so I assume it would be an easy replacement.

Good question. I've never done it but since the blades unscrew, I assume they will replace, but best to contact Leatherman to confirm. I've use their smooth and serrated blades a lot over all the years of use and except for scratches, it may take another 20,000 years to actually see wear. :) I love this product. Hard to top it.

leaks are probably taken care of by the gaskets. liquids might get through the blade assembly, but if that were the case the blade probably wouldn't turn at all.

Probably but message the manufacterer. You would surely meed to replace the blade.

Sorry, I don't check my email as often as I should! Yup, you don't have to mess around with setting a new blade inside or anything like that. The whole clipper piece that snaps off is replaced. So as long as nothing is broken on the main battery operated part, you should be fine :)

Not that I know of. I haven't had my replacement blade crack any yet so it may have been something wrong with the hardening process they were using on the old blades which they fixed with the new ones. This is a total guess though. I can say though that I only hand wash my blade now so maybe that is a factor as well. The old one developed cracks pretty early and I've put this new one through a lot of use.

I've never heard of anyone doing that. I'd imagine if you needed repairs of that nature you could just send it to S&W but its probly easier/cheaper to just buy another if you've damaged yours to that extreme. I've had many folding knives and had them sharpened many times without ever worrying about replacing the blades.

I believe there is a site on-line to buy a replacement blade... however.... it should take a few years to go through the first blade according to my usage anyway.

I have searched and searched, but cannot find anywhere that sells replacement blades. I've had mine for a couple years now, and use it regularly. I used it a whole lot when I first got it. The blades are still good. I wish there were a way to replace the blades, but it looks like there is not.

No idea. I imagine it will probably be easier to buy a replacement blade when the time comes than trying to sharpen the one on it

It looks to me like a design deficiency without any real fix. There is a lot of room between the base of the blade and the inside of the handle that can't be tightened up because of internal mechanisms and spacers.

Yes you can replace the blade. It comes with a sharpening stone though so replacement is not really necessary unless something terminal happens.

Do not believe you can buy a replacement blade anymore, company went out of business a few years back. But, another did buy the leftover inventory and had some units for sale, you have to buy the complete unit. I got another last YEAR, WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

There are two bolts that, when removed, allow the blade to be removed. As to replacing it, I must query the vendor for part number and source. Hope this helps.

Limited lifetime warranty. If you accidentally break a kershaw folder they will replace it for $10. If it's a manufacturing defect it is replaced free of charge. It's really a great blade!

Should be a blade lock...Why are you changing the blade anyways?It should be sharp and brand new.
