Still doesn't justify the prices - but then, I've felt that Benchmade has been riding the name for a long time know. Honestly, I'll look at CRKT before Benchmade now - they've come a long way and are managing to keep prices reasonable. If I want to pay Benchmade prices, I'll look for a custom shop instead. ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary. Usually best described by, “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” |

Oh, I love my AFO. That also is worth the price, but compare the AFO to the bailout. [link to www.stnicksknives.com (secure)] See my point? |

I really like their soldier series where they had the vets design the knives according to what they needed. Great concept. |

Prices have definitely risen for all knives in the past two years. Hell just 2 years ago bugouts would be around $120-$130. Now they are like $170 I think? They do make a quality hand made USA knives and are one of the few left that don’t do outside production of any model. I have a Spyderco made in Golden Colorado, USA. Earth but as you know spyders models are made all over the world. Benchmade has a real lifetime warranty also. So I don’t think it’s bad for a knife that will out live you? Sorry, that message is no longer in the database. |

Good point, I just think the materials used are not even close to worth what they are asking. I think my 940 would outlive me, but I can't see the bailout doing the same. |

I really like their soldier series where they had the vets design the knives according to what they needed. Great concept. Agreed. I have a Carson design M16-14SFG (the Tanto point flipper) and I really like it. Purchased for heavy point use and it's never seen a chip. Also has excellent locking, like my Buck - it's about as close as you can get to fixed blade when open. ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81779051 United States 01/24/2023 02:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | not familar with that, i have one benchmade i got a couple years ago, its nice but was about $140 on sale. mini presido II it has a 3'in blade, just SV30 steel and nice frame a carbon injected nylon. SV30 has been around a good while and is one of the OG "super steels" hard to sharpen but holds an edge a long time. Of course there are better steels now like SV90, M390, CPM-20CV and many others. benchmade is alright, but prefer spyderco (the japanese blades are their best) and USA made spyders or Hogue knives Kershaw is good if you get the ones actually made in the USA, but gotta pay a price benchmades are all made in USA, hence higher price tag |
