These days there is no longer an excuse for a company to use 440 steel or have a crappy sheath.
@macmccartney57602 ай бұрын
Especially that Benchmade sheath simply because of the price being so high for no reason at all
@tima76622 ай бұрын
The sheath on the Benchmade I 100% agree on. There is nothing wrong with 440 steel but the price is too high for it. Still a nice looking knife though.

440c yes, 440a no, crappy sheath definitely no
@CourtJester19602 ай бұрын
All I mean is that there are better budget steels to be had. 440C is fine if properly cyro treated but it isn't a steel that catches the attention of a paying audience.
@fredcox69942 ай бұрын
@@CourtJester1960 It catches my attention. It is the steel of many of my nicer Bokers and Linders and more than a couple handmades. At one time it was the steel of choice of most stock removal knifemakers. It has been replaced by the latest pretty faces, as have ATS 34, 154cm and others. The added value of many of these newer steels is almost negligible unless you're the one selling it

Beautiful benchmade. But for a premium knife and steel company to provide a shitty sheath for it lol. Vosteed did a better job with the sheath.

Embarrassing for. Benchmade to put a $270 knife in a 5¢ sheath.
@awdobsession7172 ай бұрын
So embarrassing that they are selling out 🤷🏻♂️. I do agree the sheath could be better though. Historically speaking Benchmade has always made awkward or different style sheaths that are not leather. The leather ones they’ve made in the past have been fine.

I got a Puma folder from my parents a while back. It flips open hard, drops shut like a dream, has real carbon fiber scales but it’s tip down, has a cheap steel and the blade stock is thicker than a snicker. I think they paid about 100 for it. I guess it woulda made an ok budget knife but I just can’t bring myself to carry it.

Not a fan of the blade on the Benchmade. I don't like how thin it looks but it is an EDC blade... Sheath looks pretty bad, pocket clip seems like it would be good though. Love the handle and hardware.

Benchmade! Your knives are not God Tier & IMO not worth what you’re asking. I also have to agree with Stassa. Your sheaths are garbage I wouldn’t gift them to my worst enemy. The knife/sheath mentioned in this video I might pay $229.99/$239.99, but with a fold over Kydex sheath. Only way I’d buy it right now is if it were about $100 less. -Thanks for the review Stassa! Dear KZbin Police, These are my opinions and opinions are like assholes. Everyone’s got one! Stay safe! ❤️🇺🇸👊🏼

Stainless steel is the biggest waste of money anyone can ever spend on a tool that you will never be able to sharpen and it will spend most of its time in the kitchen drawer or in a Pawn Shop. Don’t believe me go look in a pawnshop right now I dare you.
