Benchmade Infidel Automatic Knife Limited Edition S30V Steel

Long term review for an automatic knife from Benchmade.

Yeah that is worth getting upset about. I'm in the market for an otf and really had my eye on this.. I'm a benchmade guy myself. 2 things I want is are least amount of blade play, and strength of deployment. I'm shocked at that price it won't even pop through a piece of cardboard.

[@qualitygoodsandservices1242]

That is intentional from Benchmade. Probably due to liability. They don't want people to accidently deploy the blade in their pocket and hit an artery. I do not think that is a valid concern because it takes quite a bit of force to deploy the blade. The other auto knife that I have will go through cardboard but it was made by a local knife maker not a larger company like Benchmade who is more prone to getting sued.

I like the infidel but I think dollar for dollar the microtech combat troodon is better built better anadizing better steel. Just my opinion

I can't say that I disagree. That would will probably be my next one or the Hera.
