I like my Benchmade knives but don't carry them anymore. I had a Case pocket knife that I carried for years and years. I sharpened it so many times I had to grind a bit off the blade next to the handle, otherwise it wouldn't close far enough to cover the tip of the blade. Then I filed a semi-circle out of the handle so I could get hold of the nail nick. When it was looking like a toothpick with a handle on it I finally got rid of it. I used a very large air chisel at work to destroy it. I may have been tempted to get it out of the trash if I didn't. I bought 2 Coast brand knives made in Ireland as replacements for it and I'm on the second one. It has 2 blades instead of 1 and it's okay but not as good as a Case. They were cheap and not made of the greatest quality of steel. I can bend the blades sideways and they'll stay that way until I bend them back. I'll never buy a Benchmade or a Coast knife again. I looked at some Gerber and Kershaw knives at Tractor Supply recently and they were all made in China. No thanks, I already have some cheap Chinese knives.

The best knives I have as it pertains to edge-holding ability is Cold Steel (20+ yr old...don't know about current knives) and CRKT. I bought my younger son a CRKT fixed blade with gut hook for skinning and dressing deer and he can easily do a half-dozen deer before it needs attention....and then all it needs is stropping.

what a shock they are doubling down.


they say they will not do it anymore, and the money they gave too the anti gun dems was because they were pro knife people and were going to try and change the laws.

So they have proven to be either liars or so dumb that they do not realize that most of their market share are gun people.   either way a business I do not want to give money.

Tom Gresson's Gun Talk had a representative from Benchmade on his show.  Well worth the listen.  Tom left him speechless.

I found a picture of my old LB7 and the Case pocket knife I sharpened out of existence. Too bad I still can't post any pics. I found a picture of me when I was in the army I'd like to post too. Maybe in a few more weeks, or months, we can post pics again. Sigh.
