Benchmade

[LeftyDiego]

Has anyone gone through the 2011 Benchmade catalogs? I picked up the both the Professional and Consumer versions at Sacks Outdoors in Hattiesburg in February. Benchmade has some reallly nice knives. I EDC mini griptillians, but have a few others. Anyone else partial to Benchmades?

BTW, Bowie Outfitters and Hebert Guns have a few on hand. However, Knifeworks.com (Louisiana company) has a great selection and you usually receive your order in a couple of days.

I have about twenty BenchMades from an Ares down. I have thirteen Spydercos, but aside from four Kopas and two or three others, I like the BenchMades as a bunch better. Spydercos seem gimmicky to me, but that is my very subjective judgement. There are those who swear by them.
There is a BM forum http://benchmadeforum.com/ Lots of half-way decent discussion there.

Pretty Impressive.
His edges look like mirrors they are so highly polished.
Let me know how it goes if you do send him something to sharpen, ill get you a referral discount.

I was a Spyderco fan in the past but moved away from them in favor of Benchmade. I always look and compare and I still like Benchmade. I just picked up a 340 Aphid and Im very pleased. Im thinking about getting a couple as gifts for my nephew and his son. I want to have them etched with something meaningful.

When i buy a knife its usually a benchmade or kershaw but havnt bought one in awhile since I started making knives as a hobby. Benchmade is a pretty good knife and I like alot of the designs.

I got several BM's and like all of them. I've worn out a spring or two on some of their autos but they always make it right.

I have an orange handled Griptillion, great knife, but I just purchased 2 Cold Steel Pendleton Hunters, and they are awesome ! Amazingly sharp, my daughter has a Mini Pendleton Hunter, great for getting in tight spots. Just incase the crap hits the fan, I have a Cold Steel Recon Tanto, you could wack someones arm off with that dang thing !.....Cold Steel - Benchmade thats what I like !

I have to agree with that...I used to LOVE Spyderco...I've owned, at one time or another, several dozen different knives from them...However, I've pared myself down to just one - the Military...

For the last year or so, I've found myself turned off by the large amount of over-priced, made-in-Taiwan collaborations...I still like their classic line of work knives though - Endura, Delica, Military, etc...

I have a Benchmade around here somewhere, but I can't carry it anymore, it's auto opening that I got while in the AF. Love that knife. Need to find it and put it up somewhere safe.
