New Knives for the Week of August 3rd, 2023 Just In at KnifeCenter.com

[@justineich2200]

Benchmade are literally smoking crack with prices

[@girthbrooks-lk9cq]

Your right about that

[@di4bol1c4l7]

Totally agree 😂

[@girthbrooks-lk9cq]

I can buy a knife with just as good quality with better materials for benchmade prices.

[@speterj]

Somebody is trying to run that business into the ground.

😂😂😂 Seriously tho …

[@armenarakelian9876]

LOL

[@patrickbledsoe2176]

Nailed it

[@rnkmode1876]

Hopefully, they've been ripping people off for years. Plus they donated money to the DNC during all that 2020 BS, so I could care less what happens to them.

Dang... who s benchmade target for fans.... rich people don't carry knives? So what's up lol

[@sqter00]

Gerber 440a? realy? on 2023y?

[@NLemessage]

Benchmade always wilding out with prices.

[@bawhite125]

Agreed. I'm done with Benchmade. They're out of their freakin' minds.

[@stacyrobbins1712]

Yes they are

[@mulieslayer]

All knife prices are getting out of control but BM is leading the way. Even the gerber is too much$$$

[@bobjohnson1633]

I dunno. Esee still makes great knives for good prices. Folding knives are just kind of stupid, is all.

[@TheScotchaholic]

The crazy prices are the reason foreign non-USA brands have made plenty of ground in the global blade sales industry.

[@sleigh4019]

Really vosteed is making some of the coolest bad ass knives under 60$

[@hungao7142]

I agree. I was shocked to learn that Gerber with plastic handle is $179. The very same company which used to sell folders for $20-30

[@dan_taninecz_geopol]

Just here to laugh at whatever Benchmade is charging for that.

[@radseven89]

300 bucks for a 2.5-inch blade on the OM is really steep. For $220 I would be in but for 300 I would rather have a bigger Microtech.

[@bobmahnamahknob]

I commented on another reply and was telling them about the MT ultratech with a magnacut blade for $258 I just picked up. That BM is ludicrous at $300.

[@radseven89]

@@bobmahnamahknob I got that magnacut ultratech too. The thing is sweet.

[@WestbrookAds]

not a complaint, just an observation... benchmade prices are nutz these days

[@Alexander-ji1hh]

Not digging this trend of $250-300 3" liner lock pocket knives. Absolute nonsense in most cases. People need to stop paying it for such a basic entry.

[@Swami504]

Benchmade OTF's! 30% more handle, 30% less blade.

[@chiefelephanttuskbong8081]

200% more money

[@speterj]

That benchmade taggout has their website printed on the blade. No thanks.

[@jayr526]

The ohm is a measure of electrical resistance. The om also appears to be a measure of purchase resistance.

[@girthbrooks-lk9cq]

Lol nice one

[@Mortem_Tyrannis_24]

Benchmade is out of there mind. Knives have always been built for light little girl use.

[@bullmilk]

The delay in mentioning the price usually corresponds with a laughable price point. Who could have guessed the Benchmade Om would cost more than a Microtech UTX70 and come with inferior blade materials?! Yup, just about everybody in the comments section.

[@wreid4995]

Who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for any Gerber? And Benchmade has lost its collective mind on their prices.

[@jludwig5374]

The Gerber is made out of s30v and has good action. It seems pretty competitive with pricing. That being said, I think pocket knives overall are too expensive these days.

[@jesseam72]

306 for the Benchmade? What ?

[@jonathancupp3686]

I really like the look of the new version of the Tagged Out, but at $100 over what would be reasonable, Benchmade can keep it.

[@Defossion1]

I stopped buying Benchmades after seeing that they contribute almost exclusively to Democrats. Telling...

[@coz9997]

@@Defossion1 Sounds pretty petty to me. So even though they are a American company that creates jobs in a America and produces their products in America, screw them because of who they donate to?

Pretty much buyin the name more than the worth of the product.

On a knife called Bambi, why would you get any other handle option than the stag? Very creative. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@s30vguy8]

Benchmade OM is laughable at $306. Kershaw is gonna sell alot of Livewires.

Hearing the price on that Bexar was like getting kicked in the balls. Wanted that one the moment I saw it 😂

[@jamesR1990]

Tactile Knife Co and Tactile Turn are VASTLY overpriced even compared to other similarly sized US made companies.

Jesus... The butterfly tax is strong with that OTF.

[@yeegan69]

Boy that condor quality control is almost non-existant from the looks at those two knives, first one had a chipped edge close to the tip , or a ding .. smh

Hi David , Lamborghini took the name of the fighting bulls (MIURA) whose cattle graze on the Zahariche farm, in the town of Lora del Río (Seville) Spain. Its origin dates back to the mid-nineteenth century and its antiquity dates back to 1849. I guess the Lambo is as fierce as our bulls.... ;) A beauty of a knife by the way. Greetings from Spain!!!!

[@michaelmiller7352]

Benchmade 👎

[@alexxxpierce7788]

There was a time when I viewed Benchmade as a reputable brand but I gotta say their prices are outta control, it’s ridiculous…, when the “Narrows” came out I was like no f**king way…, keep it, Spyderco has surpassed them by far…💯, and now with the Gerber Assert out…, Gerber just made a bugout k*ller with that release, I’m very impressed with that one, I’m gonna have to get the Assert eventually…😁

[@mplsatty]

$175 for a current Gerber?!? NO!

[@twatmunro]

$175 for a plastic handled Gerber? Who do they think they are? Benchmade?

[@14ederan]

Favorite quote from the video: “The harder the wood gets, even better it’s gonna be.” Truer words were never spoken.

[@markjg2275]

Most of these knives are way overpriced just crazy prices no regular Joe can afford. The only one that is a fair price is the Condor Puukko worth buying. Unbelievable how companies are putting out non affordable knives to the majority of buyers in this lousy economy .

[@stephenbarabas6286]

😂😂😂 did David really say "glass ball breaker" @21:48

[@Big_Ginger_edc]

Sorry Benchmade. You all need a reality check with your prices lately 😮

[@happykt]

The Gerber Scout looks like a rip off of the Kizer Drop Bear. Gerber seems to be imitating Benchmade too.

[@jj9363]

These prices are insane, $50 for a knife. I just use a sharpened rock or a butter knife i stole from an IHOP. Works just fine for me.

[@mdivo86]

These are great, but what happened to the nice mid range priced stuff that used to exist? Everything is just ridiculously expensive now.

[@rognuald9007]

Benchmade Om S30V for $300 vs Microtech Magnacut for under $300. The Om is smaller and lighter, but still. Benchmade Tagged Out S45VN for $270 vs Spyderco PM2 S45VN for under $200. The PM2 is thicker and heavier, but still. Seems like easy choices hear.

[@oscr_zen]

that Taggedout is incredible, yet so expensive hehe

[@zdbrownie]

if it was a reasonable 200 I dont think I could talk myself out of it. 270... not a chance

@@zdbrownie same, maybe one day

[@zdbrownie]

@@oscr_zen can get s45vn probably better heat treat with g10 in a spyderco paramilitary 2 for 185, 270 is just ridiculous imo.

[@eriklundquist3588]

Apparently no one at Benchmade knows that “tagged out” means broken/do not use. 😂 What’s next, Rusted Out”?

[@alecseekins]

I've never been so excited for a Gerber. The assert is actually really neat. I'm thinking I might have to try one

[@Knivess0]

Industrial style at bourgeois prices.

[@craigwhitman1527]

I have been collecting knifes for over 25 years. And anymore for me. These knifes that are 100 plus. I'm just really not interested in I do own some benchmade and spyderco knifes and their great. But. The 50 and under knifes I get way more excited about them then I do these high end knifes

[@pooslinger6839]

Benchmade knife prices remind me of when you go to a garage sale and a little kid is out there selling his old hot wheels cars for $10 bucks a piece lol

[@thomasworrilow4228]

I feel like that Gerber scout would have sold like hot cakes if they just went with 14c28n on the blade steel. Just my opinion tho.

[@darenmcgovern4285]

With so many better steels available, why does Gerber still use 440 steel? They have good designs and if they had some sprint runs with better steel I feel they would sell more.

[@Ianthe1]

$300 for that otf?! Hope benchmade goes bankrupt with how stupid they are.

[@jerrypomroy2375]

Benchmade has been hittin’ the booger sugar way too hard lately! $300?!? $270?!?

[@MLKusername]

$306?!?! Benchmade? Where's this coming from?

[@The4cp]

Benchmade has officially found the hardest drugs on the market wanting of $300 for an under 2.5 inch S35VN and aluminum knife. I wouldn't pay that for 4 inches.

[@LetoAtreidis]

Gerber just doesn't get it, whoever makes those decisions will put that company to the ground eventually. 180 for a plastic s30v? 440A in a enthusiast knife? What is this, 90s? So many good budget steels that are way better than that. Maan

[@stuartb9194]

What are Gerber thinking with 440a or a knife with movable thumb stud (why) and a seconday grind as wide as a skandi

[@mikerollins3088]

I actually like the Gerber Scout, but for basically $60 they need to upgrade the steel. 440A isn't great for a knife in this range, it could at least be D2! There's plenty of cross bar/D2 knives in this range and often times cheaper!

[@landscapingspecialist]

The fact that Bestech made the scales out of what looks like antler then called it Bambi makes me want one. 😂👌🏻

[@sleigh4019]

Wow..Gerber decided if benchmade can rip us off with plastic deal they can also ..what a joke 179 $ plastic handle ? Hope its a platinum blade cause this is why civivi vosteed mixer keep winning over and over

[@sleigh4019]

My bad I take it all bad its got a removable thumb stud lol ...ill stick with a racoon and drop bear nd a ganzo for the same price

[@c-mo313]

Anyone buying these Benchmades needs their head checked.

[@hunterglaspell]

The assert is like a bugout but with more features and a better overall design for the same price. The clip also has recessed screws which is a plus. I imagine you can also take the thumbstud completely off. Neat.

[@The4cp]

Unfortunately the steel. D2 or higher and wow what a knife.

[@djarumastrofoo]

@@The4cp Id take S30v over D2 any day and twice on Sundays.

[@mikerollins3088]

That Gerber Assert isn't too bad lookin, but would be more attractive at least to me if it wasn't priced like the Bugout! If it were about $30-$40 cheaper it would make more sense to me for materials used, but not overly off the mark.

[@jameswhoever3730]

No more than $75 to $85 at the most

[@drewpfeif5028]

That condor trivittata is pretty sharp. I would snag it if they made a version in 14C28N

It appears to me that Benchmade is specializing in the left out.

[@blackhogarth4049]

Halfbreed: Plastic sheath, no scales, VG-10. $200 Spyderco: Plastic sheath, plastic scales, D2, chisel ground. $224. WTF?

[@Knives101]

Pretty sure the only people that are buying Gerber knives, are the people that do not know there are MUCH MUCH better knives with better materials, better QC for way less. Gerber seems to think bcuz Benchmade/Spyderco has their butterfly/spidie tax, they can charge more for their "knives". The big difference that Gerber obviously doesn't understand, is that Benchmade and Spyderco are actually good knives with great materials and a much better quality control.

[@TheScotchaholic]

Lmao! Benchmade and some other brands with their ludicrous prices, made the choice easy to buy non-USA blades. Have at it suckers!😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@connorvena8991]

Gotta love the fact you can get a Maxace with titanium, carbon fiber and m390 for 180 and benchmade throws out an s45vn and g10 knife for 270. Love to know wtf these guys are thinking.

[@piperkennard1039]

And I love American made gerber but man the price on that gerber assert. 😂😂why not get the benchmade taggout it's only around 180, and you get the benchmade service 😂😂😂just saying . Great video, as always, brother 👍

[@Bethany415]
