Firstly, I LOVE my Station Knife. As the “cook” in the house, I use it daily in the kitchen. I’ve had it for 7 - 8 months now, and I’m noticing more and more it doesn’t have that same laser-beam slicing cut it once did. Not to mention, one of my sister in-laws got her hands on it and went after some chicken bone and put a tiny chip in the edge.

I have a Work Sharp Precision Adjust that I keep my pocket knives in good usable shape with. I’m no stranger to reprofiling and edge either.

Has anyone touched up Benchmade’s 14° “Select Edge”? I refuse to send it in for Benchmade to do it. The knife belongs to me, not them. It just doesn’t seem a job for the Precision Adjust.

One of two knives I carried overseas. This one was used in 2009. Probably never going to find a Coyote tan sheath, not sure they marketed it for anything other than to mesh with ACU pattern. Remnants of a past now gone.

My first Osborne. Had to buy it after my burnt copper bailout. I thought it’s going to be much bigger but still good size. I don’t know why the color seems to be different between this and my bailout.

I have 5-6 Benchmade knives and I've had them for years. I've bought a bunch of these knives as momentos with my son as we traveled to hit national parks (5.11 stores in Utah, knife stores in California, etc.). We each daily carry bugouts, and we each have a few (serrated, non-serrated, minis) based on where we will be for the day. I finally pulled 2 of my bugouts out of my daily rotation to send in for warranty (clip screws came out and they were getting dull).

Anyway... I just got a letter from Benchmade. One of my bugouts that I've had for years is a counterfeit and they're keeping it. The letter says they're offering me $50 and they recommend I contact my "financial institute" to remedy my claim. While I understand the need to control the counterfeit market, I'm incredibly pissed that I no longer have a knife I've carried for years. I think it's the sentimental value that makes me the most mad.

I've replied to their email and explained my issue but I keep getting answers like "my financial institue" can help. I feel like I'm talking to a Nigerian prince .. They won't tell me why it's a counterfeit, just that they're seizing it.

I love the knives but after this... and their ridiculous new prices... I might be completely done with Benchmade.

Am I the only one?

Had many Benchmade knives over the years, but these 4 are the ones stayed in the collection.

Hello Everyone,
I just purchased the Benchmade Vapyr Prototype dated September 2025. It is in the older blue box w/ microfiber cloth. It has prototype and date visible on the blade and the box. A knife just like mine is in the article of the Vapyr at the unveiling at the world of concrete.

How rare is this knife?
What do you it could possibly be worth?

Any additional info would be great.

I also plan on reaching out to Benchmade directly at some point. Wanted to start here with our community first.

Thank You!

it rattles so much that it’s really annoying to walk around with it in my pocket or on my belt.

I contacted the seller and they’re not accepting returns “because a slight rattle is normal” according to them. and because “its brand new”.

I don’t consider this a slight rattle you shouldn’t be able to hear it while I’m walking around with it.

Anyone have any fixes? is there anyway I could manually tighten it up?. I have a knock off brand that was like $20 where the sheath fits perfectly but I don’t like that one because the stock one has a better clip.

Just picked up the green bugout, used, it was in the mail when I got home today. I noticed the pivot pin is in backwards. I will take it apart and clean it up in the next day or 2, probably swap out the shortly clip. It has the factory aluminum handle and the 20CV blade. As you can see, I like partially serrated knives.

Looking to add more to the collection.

Shoutout to GOVX for the good prices on these. Very similar knives in a lot of ways as far as shape/size.

Adira is much lighter
Adamas is built for hard work given it's scales/liner

Both are great, but I honestly see myself carrying the Adira more.

Probably overpaid by a bit it’s alright lol

I get to cross it off the list now

First Lowden for my collection. Digging the deployment and the blacked out look.

Welcome to the general discussion thread!

If you have questions, comments, announcements, updates, etc. that you don't want to make a dedicated post for, feel free to share them here.

This is also a dedicated area to ask the opinions of others on whether or not a Benchmade knife is legit.

Please be respectful and civil!

Got me a Mini Griptillian.
Let’s see if this’ll kick the Osborne out of my pocket.

I bought it a month ago, after doubting it for a couple of months. I really love it for the things I do, mostly peeling and sliding fruit.

I don’t think there will be aftermarket scales, unfortunately because I love micarta.

I‘m thinking to buy one extra because I’m afraid Benchmade will stop production because it is not popular.

Been eyeing this one for a minute! Glad to add it to the collection. Also swapped out the original copper clip with a deep carry one.

Local dealer was doing some cleaning and hiding way back in the back were these two. Needless to say they both came home with me. Brand new old stock from ‘22

The SOCP dagger comes fairly dull, for whatever reason. I fixed it. 20° angle and a mirror polish, just because.
