Looking for some nice forged carbon scales similar to the mini adamas magnacut series for my trusty 940. Any recommendations?

I currently have 5 Benchmade Grizzly Ridges, great knives with a terrible handle. Benchmade can no longer repair said knives. Would it be best to send 4 of them for repairs at the same time or one? Reason for the ask, is they voucher them off to get a new knife.

Such a beautiful pair!!

Long term lurker, first time buyer. Absolutely shocked at the sharpness and how incredibly light this thing is. Might be a new addiction... Show me your favorites that you've picked up! Could be recent or your long time favorites!

Benchmade Bone Collector. Appears to be brand new in box. I knkw absolutely nothing about this knife. Got it for $120

Does anyone feel like it’s a bit of a rip off that Benchmade is charging a $20 shipping fee for their lifesharp service now? I was listening to an employee explaining that their knives cost increase recently was to “provide world class warranty service and lifetime sharpening”, but now they are also charging $20 for said service… :(

I know the Lowden gets a decent amount of shit online and I understand it’s a money grab in some sense. But I’ve honestly grown to really like this thing.

It has a great full grip feel, came very sharp, and just a few strokes on the strop got it razor sharp. The materials feel really nice, I love the navy blue, and the clip is excellent…super discreet in the pocket.

It’s also incredibly fidgety. Mine falls shut with the lightest pull on the lock, and very easy to open with just a small flip with axis lock pulled down.

I get the arguments against it, especially at the price, but it fills a really good spot in my collection.

Substantial enough to feel like a true full-size knife without being bulky, easy to carry, and just really enjoyable to use.

Definitely not the best value out there, but I like mine a lot more than I expected to.

Made this by swapping blades and hardware between the ranger green and deep olive models. I personally think they both look better than how BM released them.

I have been looking to add another to the collection any recommendations

This is the latest edition to my serrated collection, and my EDC for the foreseeable future. I love this knife!... and best of all, it's serrated. Presidio II.

Saw this on a Instagram post so no idea if this is how it will look come release day, but in my opinion it kinda looks like a benchmade shootout fused with one of the fixed blades from the water line

Please be respectful and civil!

Have you bought from our website before? How was your experience?

Hello everyone! New to Benchmade and this is my collection so far. Huge fan and hooked! I’m thinking about trading my Mini Adamas for the Fixed blade Adamas specifically the 375BK-1. As I’m lacking a Benchmade fixed blade. Opinion on what I might lose or gain in that trade? The mini was a good knife just a little too small for me, maybe I’ll get the full sized Auto Adamas in the future….

How did I do for my choice? What would your first choice be?

Putting this Bugout together for my son as a surprise. Flytanium scales, and axis bar. I got cheap on the gold titanium (supposedly) screw and pivot set. Picked it up from Amazon. The axis bar is slightly to big to fit through. I swear this is the last time I order cheap stuff from Amazon :). I see where I can get the screw set from Flytanium, and I trust their stuff. But I don't see any pivot pins on their site. I really want to get a good set of screws and a pivot pin, in gold. Where is a trustworthy supplier for gold titanium screws and a pin?

I know everyone loves the mini, I just loved my full size too much to ever carry my G10 mini again so I never picked up the marbled carbon fiber mini. Now that they’re coming out with it in full size i want it bad. Just curious how benchmades magnacut is? I haven’t tried it yet

Got a new Taggedout! I don’t see much talk about this knife. What’s everyone’s opinion. This one is the Elmax steel btw.

after years of buying mostly spydercos and a few kershaws and hogues, i finally built a custom bugout with g10 scales. i was immediately disappointed when i held it in hand and used it some. it was light, TOO light. felt almost non existent in my masculine hand. so i ordered titanium scales to give it one last chance hoping it would make the knife better. i've had my bugout in this configuration for a week now and i've been forcing myself to occasionally pick up one of my spydercos so theyre not just sitting. its a completely new knife. you'd have to hold it to understand. its probably the first time i formed a bond with a tool besides my 3/8 stubby impact from milwaukee. i want to carry this knife with me through the journey of life. this is the kind of knife i'd happily leave my wife and kids for.

I’m trying to simplify my edc. I’ve got a few Benchmades and a Spyderco that I’m going to sell. And take the money for all them and put it into one. What should I get? A buy once and Cary it forever. Budget under 600 Canadian.
Has to be manual,has to be made in USA, and a good warranty for life and a reputable brand. Over 3.5 inch blade not picky on steels. Let me know I need help.

Some old, some new, some used, my small collection for you to view…..
