Benchmade 380 Aller - Overview and Review

[@twai8036]

I feel like this would be a good bartender knife. Pop a bottle, but a lemon, maybe break a few chunky ice cubes...

[@BigRedEDC]

Great review! Thanks for your take on the Aller!

[@zachstuff]

Good to see your take on this knife!

[@TripleEEDC]

My dad always had an Al Mar money clip with the Swiss-army style knives on it when I was growing up. He lost his several years ago. I was considering getting him another one for Father’s Day but I’ve been wavering back and forth on getting him that or the Benchmade Aller. Any thoughts?

[@Brewhound77]

get him 2 Al Mar clips and almost 40 bucks worth of something else instead of the Aller.

[@Brewhound77]

Actually I'm seeing Al Mar clips for 40 bucks, so get him 3 and keep the other 20 bucks.

[@TripleEEDC]

Brewhound77 I hear you. I’m not really worried about the price. More worried about getting him something he’ll like and use. He should like and use a clip he’s had in the past though.

[@Brewhound77]

If hes anything like my dad, he'll love something he had before way more than anything new

[@TripleEEDC]

Brewhound77 you’re probably right .

cool little knife... just 10 times more expensive than I would pay for it!

[@scotteger6271]

It's a bit expensive but I can get it cheaper than MSRP so it appeals to me slightly...I've been wanting a small watch/5th pocket knife for cutting box tape and stuff when I'm carrying one of my more expensive knives. I like the fact they used good steel even though it's small. I was looking at a cheap Kershaw Pub but it's not good steel.

It’s not really for me. However, as a school teacher, if we were allowed to carry a friction folder, I would be down. It’s better than no knife but it’s a last resort for me.

[@motoknivesandgunsbyjt]

Does anyone out there actually use it as a money clip?

[@chevyon37s]

I’d really rather see a somewhat closer to a normal drop point style blade and without putting that piece that sticks out when closed.

[@cainkopczynskie6296]

Youcan get the pukko from them in 3v for that price

[@Lemonhoko]

Man 136? ...thats way pricey...I would have guessed about 50 bucks and thought that was high....My mini grip retails for 80 bucks on amazon, same blade steel.

[@zero2three1]

It's like a Swiss army knife done wrong. Too avant-garde for my unsophisticated taste. Conversation piece? Sure. It might as well cost a bazillion dollars... :P

[@mitondo6123]

Too expensive.

[@Brewhound77]

what's your PO box, I'm gonna send you new tape measure lmao

[@timbo4374]

To be honest, I wouldn't buy it if they were asking $20. It's just not my thing, but I can see the attraction for travelers, or weird gadget lovers. It's definitely different, and to each their own.
