Inside Benchmade

[@aqwe5416]

You are not inside..

[@jerichoervingdebelen2173]

I love my Bugout 535 and my Vector 495. Owning Benchmade is such a pride because its made here in the USA. There Quality and the Warranty are impecable.

[@franksworld9922]

The first benchmade I saw was in a surplus store it was the Emerson qcq with the titanium blade bought it on the spot and still have it twenty three years later.

[@talisikid1618]

Love Benchmade. Not sure exactly how many I own now but it’s well over 20.

[@trp2413]

At least 2 above average 😮

[@MegaYangman]

Love the Axis lock..just picked up a 940-1 and love it!! Up to 4 Benchmade knives now.

[@gmoney5947]

14 more until your average 😮

6:14 I see on the shelves around the bottom middle there is a label that says "CPM M390." M390 is made by Bohler, not Crucible Particle Metallurgy, so I'm wondering what could be the reason for that label. Does it refer to something else?

940, black 51 butterfly, and the 490. I love my benchmades

[@richardcrane5559]

Where do I send my knife for repair?

[@trp2413]

Jump on their website and get the details It’s super easy Pro Tip; my brother and I wait until we 2 each dull, then I send all 4 in a “if it fits, it ships USPS box” to save on shipping Last round he got a new blade on one & new washer between blade & body on the other, I’m pretty sure one of mine was just cleaned and sharpened & the other was whole new 940 (what I got back looked new, unlike what I shipped)

Ahhhhh. So that’s where they cut up confiscated guns?? Interesting.

@@alexhester1424 the police approached them to help cut up guns they had taken off people to be destroyed. And benchmade gladly offered to help. They were guns taken from criminals, but benchmade still could have said no.

I own 4 knives. A buck cabellas alaskan guide for hunting. Then a super freak, proper, and my favorite all time (had 2 in my life, first I lost.) 940.

[@jolIyjoeker]

I think a Benchmade employee poll of what their favorite Benchmade knife (model number) is would be really cool and informative.

[@mpmassacre91]

so this guy is responsible for so many great model discontinuations. I also have well over 18 benchmades

[@e.d.j]

Age 33. Hydro-electric powerplant and dam operator. I have carried one folding pocket knife since 2007: right-hand serrated griptilian. I do gentle stropping every few months, honing as needed, and have only re-profiled once in her lifetime. No offense to the rep in this video, but Benchmade makes such a great duty knife, I only need one.

It’s located in Oregon City not in Portland

I love my 940.

[@trp2413]

Then you will really love the 940-1 when you buy it

[@AdamasOldblade]

Pretty much confirmed my fears that Benchmade is phasing out D2... Sad really, their D2 is so awesome compared to others. I just ordered a custom Crooked River in coated D2 because I figure by 2020 they will have gotten rid of this steel completely.

[@TheKoss11]

I didn’t think about it until you commented, their metal is of higher quality than other companies. By other companies, I mean real knife companies.

[@AdamasOldblade]

@@TheKoss11 Since leaving that comment I did get my Crooked River D2 and it legit got stolen by a co-worker who was fired! Ack.... Sure enough you cannot buy the Crooked River in D2 steel anymore, which is a a super shame. You can however still get the Griptilian and Mini Griptilian in D2 steel only through their customisation page. Since making my comment a year ago D2 has REALLY exploded online as like the perfect, "budget steel" (when I first got into knives it was considered high end, but things change) which I'm happy for, but again it really depends a lot on the maker of the steel. Benchmade and Jason Brous probably have the best D2 steels I've ever seen. The Benchmade Adamas is like the most TANK knife I have ever owned and I'm still in true awe of how good it is. I just hope D2 isn't pushed down to like the, "loser steel" territory and companies start shying away from it. People like to argue that it rusts easily and it can't take a super fine edge, both things that are completely false, and for the average person if you are using a knife outside of your job you probably are just opening boxes or cutting some things down. I'll never stop loving D2, but lately my like "go to steel" is S90V.

[@TheKoss11]

@@AdamasOldblade what I meant was... I have Spydercos, one a para3 and a pm2 Emerson. The s30v chipped on my pm2 Emerson. Had it fixed, but I also have a bugout that is s30v also and I use it the most and the steel looks and feels totally different. I wouldn’t be surprised if benchmade added processes to improve the steel. If they do this with S30V, they probably do it with D2. So I get what you mean.

[@Dmhlcmb]

I collect traditional slip joints but I have more than 10 Benchmade knives. Spyderco and benchmade compete for my edc modern knives.

[@fafafuhi2231]

I use to think they were overrated... started with the mini barage and now got the 943 on layaway... I have to say while I don't have 18... I prolly will lol

[@gmoney5947]

[@gigilaco]

I wish Benchmade would listen to customers. The infidel is the most iconic OTF of all time but it’s outdated. We would love one with a thicker blade, better steel and less wobble. It would sell out in a day. I have my infidel next to me as I’m writing this and there’s SO much potential.

The equipment the facility the workers the distribution the advertising the warranty, that's the reason benchmade spyderco and especially ZT and many others are way overpriced, You have $500 dollar knives designed by some "popular" designer but they are mass produced in China by underpaid workers. I will pay for some custom knives but I see no reason why these are any different than a $19 Walmart knife and when I see people say oh it's a particular steel I can tell you that "special" steel is only a few bucks more than regular steel it's a scam you are paying for these companies operations costs and nothing more
