<![CDATA[#12 Knife does not fit my grinder]]>Customer service is taking care of me already but I wanted to see if anyone else is having or have had this issue. I have a 10 year old #12 cabelas grinder. I ordered the #12 Everlasting knife from Walton’s. When I got it it does not fit on the auger. It’s too small. Does cabelas have a unique size or is this a fluke on the Everlasting knife? I bought a new cabelas #12 knife and it says “fits all #12 grinders” which leads me to believe they do not have a unique size.

The Everlasting is cast and machined out of one piece of steel.

Hitting it with silicon will do the trick.

I am contemplating purchasing a #32 butcher series hopefully they get the issue resolved.

Everlasting knife vs value hard knife. After one grind and wash the value hard showed immediate signs of rust. Must be the metal composition. Even worse two days later. Both were sprayed with silicon after drying. It did cut very nicely but…

Once we get a butcher series back in stock I will test it right away.

What about the #22 butcher series?

I dont have a #32 pro to compare it to but I can say it absolutely works on the #22 Pro Series.

I am glad the issue will be resolved going forward.

Mine goes on fine its just to thick to let the plate fit correctly

I have updated the website to include that information and am very sorry, the #22 everlasting knife works perfectly with the #22 Pro Series Grinder, so I have no clue why this would be different with a #12.

I also tried a few other knives to make sure that it wasn’t just this particular one and it is all of them that have a problem.

You should try to catch it and see if there are any discrepancies from other #12’s. It would be nice to see if there is a consistency issue and nail it down so there’s do not lose money sending it back. If you need any numbers I can mic my auger. I sent it back attn: RMA 3740 if that helps.

You think I could surface grind the back of knife or just sharpen the blades down aways as a solution? I realize that would kinda defeat the purpose of purchasing knives you can sharpen but unsure how to solve this.

It’s seated fully into the bushing at the rear also. Tho there does seem to be a bit of slop in the bushing. 20191215_064704.jpg 20191215_064742.jpg

What Weston grinder do you have?
