I got a Bailout 2 weeks ago from SMKW, when they ran a promo with a free hat and a multitool. People hate on the 3v Bailout, but since they upped the hardness, it became my most carried knife, it managed to dethrone both Kershaw Livewire OTF and the Spyderco Shaman as my favourites. I just wish they made the pommel out of steel or titanium, so I could use it as a light-duty pry tool, but overall great knife!

They also still have that over the top lightness feel the grivory have, which wouldn’t bug me if there were liners. The heft brought by the aluminum and the more rigid feel make it way better in my mind especially coupled with the fact it doesn’t add much weight to a knife that’s pretty darn big.

You can purchase those foreign made products for a cheaper price, but if you desire an American made knife with “Benchmade” style warranty and support, you’re going to have to pay the “Benchmade Tax”. Plain and simple. Purchase your knife with construction appropriate for your needs and you will always be satisfied. You ‘ll never find a two or three ounce knife that is suitable to be used as a splitting wedge for oak timber . Plain and simple. This knife is great for every day carry such as cutting cardboard boxes, envelopes, and food items. It may suffice in an emergency where you had to cut your way out of a sticky situation, as well. A beautiful and very useful knife is how I sum it up.

Welcome to the club. The reason they break prematurely is because the springs are heat treated in large batches. Some come out of the process heat treated correctly and others don’t. It’s a total crap shoot due to a lack of qc. I have sent my 940 back to benchmade 4 times in the last 4 years due to omega springs breaking. I had my 5th one break and said fuck it and chucked it in my junk drawer. The heat treat on the s30v is garbage anyway. The coil spring on the Manix 2 never fails. It’s totally superior to the axis lock in terms of strength and reliability.

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 not really. The Manix uses a ball bearing. The ram lock is more akin to an axis lock that uses a coil spring. It is also not as secure. It has shown to fail a spine wack test which the Manix lock handled with no issues on the CBRx KZbin channel.

It is always going to be regarded as a top tier knife. The reason in today’s age it doesn’t seem to get its flowers as much as it used to is because benchmades pricing as well as dodgy politics in recent years.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of the pivot. Factory can make it overly tight or loose. With these models I believe it’s the washer system, they’re both on phosphor bronze washers but one is bronze on steel liners whilst the other is bronze on frn which will make the knife run smoother. It’s the same with the pm3 and the pm3 light weight.
