Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

I was a fan of benchmade and own quite a few of them. They have done a few things of late that I disagree with and I will leave it at that.

They make a fine knife tho.

This one was like 250-300? I dont think they make this one anymore.
It has their auto assist and its basicly a CA legal switchblade.

The Griptillian that Sublime posted is basicaly the Honda Civic of EDC pocket knife.

Well thats not true. Benchmade is considered "high end" by a lot of folks.

Looking at that pic reminds me.

Their customer service is a joke. I broke that knife. Well the assist function failed after a few years and I sent it and a few other benchmades in for cleaning, sharping and repairs.

They straight up lost one knife and I had to fight them on that for ever and this knife I requested they not change out the side plate as it is special to me. Well they were able to keep the side plate but they put the dang pocket clip on for right hand carry and I can not get it back off. Now I gotta send it back AGAIN!!!

I am very rough on my knives. When I jumped ship from Benchmark I went to Spyderco. Took me a while to get used to their style but it’s holding up. Just pay attention to the steel.
