I somehow managed to chip one of the knives on my RCBS 5-0-5 some years ago. Sent it back to RCBS. They replaced the knives and also noted that they had re-calibrated the scale. The only cost to me was shipping the scale to them.

[broken record mode] get a set of check weights. I don’t care what scale you’re using - use the check weights every time you set it up. [end broken record]
I second that advice on check weights. I only use mine two or three times a year and have been doing so for at least forty years. My 10-10 and my Redding have always checked out perfectly but I'll continue to verify with check weights.
