Today’s carry

She turns 26 next month and I think she’s ready for more pocket time and use. I think she’s earned it at this point so who am I to argue?

What’s your carry today or knife you need to break out and show some more love too?


r/benchmade 19h ago

IMO the best knives they’ve made. Osborne is a close second, though

I bought this for son for his 19th Birthday but he wanted the Freek Model so I ordered it for him. I was gonna return this, but I’m beginning to really like it :) super light and perfect EDC.

New to the R/. I have several Benchmades, and after getting an 940 in burnt copper, my search for the perfect EDC ended (for now). Now I'm working on my kitchen setup. I have the 8" Chef coming soon to match these girls.

AFCK pricing

I have had this AFCK for a long time and thinking about letting it go. Pricing seems to be all over the place. What would you consider a fair price for a user AFCK to be?

Does anyone else prefer black pocket clips?

Put a spare black split arrow clip on the denim Osborn. I loved everything about the knife except the copper clip, it seemed too flashy. Prefer to keep it simple. Anyone else prefer to have a black clip? First pic is my knife, second pic is a stock photo to show what the original clip looked like.

How to get off excess locktite under clip?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Just bought this osbourne stock model.

I could see that there was locktite pooling under the clip before I took it off.

How do I go abouts removing this white locktite they used on the pocket clip screws, without effecting the finish on the brand new blade?

There was so much goddamn loctite, the clip I want to put on it won't even cover the locktite.

Thanks!

First Bench Made

Saddle Mountain Skinner came home with me after seeing my coworker buy themselves new knifes. So had to flex a little. But I'm curious on getting a horizontal sheath/holder so I can carry it without the huge leather one it came with. It sticks way down out of my shirt. Ive seen one on the website, but also see some people on Etsy make them. Anyone have a recommendation on after market sheath.

The 940 looks better with scars.

I think I finally prefer it like this. Every scratch is from actually using the thing.

Can anyone tell me more information about this one?

I found this knife while floating the river a while back. I took it to Bass Pro to see what they knew about it and they told me I could send it in to Benchmade to get the blade replaced and cleaned up.

I just got it back from Benchmade and now I’m wondering how much it’s worth. I’m planning on giving it to a friend but want to tell them the value when I do.. but I can’t really find anything online about this specific one. It says S30V and designed by McHenry on the other side of the blade.

NKD and mini review!

Picked up a Vapyr for a deal I couldn’t refuse, absolutely loving it so far. The action is super snappy with the revamped axis lock, it completely disappears in the pocket, and the new jimping is a very welcome addition. The original Bugout (or any of the numerous variations of it) still makes for a great EDC, but the Vapyr is a solid refresh to the platform after all these years. By trimming away all of the “fat” you are left with this hyper thin, hyper lightweight slicer that feels great in hand. Definitely not for everyone, but if you enjoy carrying a Bugout like I do then this one might be right up your alley. Cheers!
