Let's Talk Knives

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a custom Benchmade.....

 

Wow! They look really cool. Drool.

 

I actually just discovered that they do this last night. I have one Benchmade, it’s my favorite knife.

 

I love my Benchmade. Carry it everyday.

 

I keep these 2 benchmades in the truck

Very nice. I like where you keep them. I’ll have to copy that setup.

 

I must have one. Who is it made by?

 

I got it from Academy. I believe it is this one:

 

My EDC...
-MTM Warrior Titanium Watch
-Nite core P12, 1020 Lumen Light
-SOG Flashback Knife
Always with me where ever I may go.....
-SOG with serrated edge is my work knife

 

I have a custom order from Benchmade that should be here Thursday.

 

Cant wait to see it.

 

Just lost my flash II (bottom pic). Loved that knife.

 

i'm a spyderco fan myself. like to keep it local if i can. i keep two of these in the truck. one in the med kit and one in the center console.



this one goes along for hikes and stuff.



gerber multi tool goes along as well.

 

My EDC is a Chris Reeves Small Sebenza with micarta inlays

 

It's legal to check a knife in with your checked in luggage. You won't feel "Naked" when you arrive to your destination.

 

Also a fan of Spyderco’s. Excellent knife.

That’s an Endura 4

 

My EDC is the exact same knife.

I'm on my third one.

I keep losing them.

I've vowed not to lose this one and I've had it longer than the previous two...so far so good.

 

WWI & WWII

 

Nice collection

 

pulled these out of a drawer- forgot I had them til I saw this thread.

 

Very nice!

 

Well, not happy at all. Looks nothing like what I ordered. The handle is supposed to be red, and it’s maroon. I understand there will be differences, but it’s not even close. The logo I had put on there is not close, and the blade is off center so much it’s rubbing the handle. I’d be upset if this thing cost fifty bucks, much less the 300 I paid.

What I received:

 

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

 

I’m going to contact them and ask them to make it right. Hopefully their customer service is good.

 

Are you dealing with Benchmade directly or someone else? Good luck.

 

Benchmade directly. I ordered it from their site.

 

Poor workmanship and QC. That’s disappointing.

 

I've had my eye on another kershaw leek or the kershaw link. I've seen a couple of you post about the link....thoughts? Price is great. I have a leek, and love the size and assisted opening as my EDC at work when it calls for the very discreet size. Any thoughts on the link? Looks to be a tab bigger but a lot more knife?

 

That's a drag. Sorry man.

I swore off buying Benchmade online or mail order, awhile ago. Got one that is way off center like yours, plus the blade hits the back spacer when closed, dulling it. From now on, I'll only buy if I can handle and inspect. Their QC is so hit and miss it's pitiful. Unfortunate, because I love some of their designs, awesome stuff.

 

EDC is one of several Benchmade Axis folders - either an Osborne Griptillian, or 943 pre-production model my wife got me years ago, depending on what pants or shorts I have on.
The Benchmade Adamas folders and fixed blades are awesome. Little heavy for every day pocket carry, but I love mine.
Too many to list here.
