IK. Bought my first BM couple months ago for 80 bucks, new, model Azeria. Can’t find them on ebay anymore for such a price. Meanwhile Spyderco is asking 200 bucks for really innovative designs like the Yojumbo. All I see here is BM's old classics but revamped and repriced. Im mean beautiful blades but was looking forward to fresh ideas. Remember the Morpho bali? How many Bugout versions do we really require if we are already able to customize our own? I mean for real collectors I get it.

Despite what most knife reviewers on KZbin claim, there's nothing wrong with a lot of the budget steels. Most of the time (unless it's a hard use knife) you just need to quickly hone the edge with a strop, and when you do have to sharpen, it's really easy.

The new bar lock from Tactile has magnacut with 64 HRC, contoured titanium scales with micro milling, and was in collaboration with Richard Rogers for literally $180 cheaper; and to boot they are a micro company compared to the enormous production capabilities of Benchmade. And another thing, BM revealed that damn Immunity/Immunity AUTO knife back in February at Shot Show last year; and have been in the "coming soon" section at every major dealer for the last 12 months and counting. Then they say it's going to be a 2023 release in September? Their poor insight from community response is astonishing to say the least.

@@ekirenrut Most of Oregon voted Red in midterms. The only place that didn’t was Portland, the new gun control measure that is going to eventually get repealed (and was completely pointless and already ruled unconstitutional elsewhere) only passed by .7%. The entire PNW isn’t hippies, The cesspool that is Portland is. It’s quite literally become an us vs them situation for people in Oregon.

@@Mizuna752 I understand. It's the few bad apples syndrome. I have family from Oregon and they're not at all that way. It's a shame that urban centers have such sway over an entire state. I've never been that far west and don't know if I ever will because of the political climate. I know there's some beautiful nature to be beheld out there. I was mostly poking fun at the overt "wokeness". No hard feelings. 👍

The Mini Freek and Mini Claymore look neat! So far I’ve loved the mini versions of their big folders (Crooked River, Presidio II, Adamas) so I think those two will be awesome as well. Also, very exciting to see Benchmade getting into S45VN and MagnaCut! I’d love to see an Altitude in MagnaCut or even Cruwear.

Man a 945-2 has been a dream knife for me for years and I've been praying they'd make one. But $300?! I got my 940-2 for $200 and my CF Inlayed Sebenza for $400. Going to have to hope to get one on the secondary market for a decent price.

Very cool knives. I guess there is a cost for all of these super steals and materials. Prices are in the clouds.
@holdernewtshesrearin5471 Жыл бұрын
It all goes into the corporate officers pockets, not in manufacture. It's a 300% markup now thanks to the hoard of $200 to $400+ Chinese knives. Benchmades HAVE to be more expensive than a Chinese knife.

BHQ I like your content and I’m sure you feel that you have to cover some Benchmades but you should’ve known you get some hate when you started posting Bugout prices no matter what they do to try and justify the price. All Benchmade is doing is pushing is further and further towards brands like Spyderco and Kizer for mid range knives and making us reconsider budget knives like Civivi.

That OTF is really cool. It’s one of the only knives out there like this that has a reasonably attractive handle. It actually looks like a knife handle. Great job!!!

I’ve been looking forward to the Immunity since SHOT Show 2022. Production delays pushing it back over 18 months from its debut and the MSRP is $325? The M4 Bailout is more steel, less money, and available now.

This was a long video considering all that was said os the Bugout now comes in lots of new colors by the way it’s 200 dollars and up. The fact that the Bugout prices were announced but there was a reluctance to offer other prices tells us a lot. if I’m gonna spend money with Bench made it’s going to be on something like the OM, CLA or Claymore.
