You can get a Kershaw Bel Air with a Magnucut blade, milled aluminum handle and made in the USA for 1/4th the price. Apparently making it artificially scarce make the knife worth 4 times as much.

What's the point of having a clone. It's not the real thing and won't give you the same satisfaction owning it as a collector. If you want a knife to use, there're many other options with high quality from honorable sources. Buying clones supports criminals.
@odie2763 No one will use this overpriced and pathetically lacking limited edition. For the same money, an overbuilt and uniquely designed Reate T-1000 can be bought, or any myriad of similar high quality and high value blades can be had. Defending this joke release by BM is just plain laughable.
I have about 25 Benchmades and I really love their knives. I may never have 26. They’re free to price their knives as they wish, but sadly they are leaving me behind. They’re for the elite. Cool. Damn it.
Got my first benchmade a month or so ago. Got a Freek and it’s great! I paid just under 260 for it and I thought that was a bit steep. But the M4 steel is great! That said I just got a PM2 a few days ago for 199 and man does it feel like such a more premium/well put together knife. Still can’t get the blade centered on the Freek and the action feels better on the spyderco. Will not be buying another benchmade.
Those Masarin knives are very stylish pocket knives. They may be missing a pocket clip,but that makes them more comfortable in your hand and symmetrical looking.
im still trynna figure out how they got to $600. just seems like a 940 with magnacut which shouldnt be much more expensive manufacturing wise. is it just because its a “limited” run?
Man, if I were running Benchmade I'd think seriously about moving shop to a more business friendly location in the US. One can manufacture in the US for less overhead than whatever factors are putting upward pressure on their production costs in Oregon.
I have an original 710 and love it. Would love to have another but there is not a knife in Benchmades line that I would pay $600 for....and I love Benchmade knives! To me they have gotten too big for their pants. I called them a few times to make recommened changes that would make a knife better and was rudely told that they have professionals for that even though I spent 20 years in the Army, have hunted and processed my own game for 50 years now, and have carried and used a knife since I was 5 years old. They have also gotten into trying to make collectors knives instead of working knives.

Don't even waste my time looking at Benchmade. Other manufacturers provide more value for money. Benchmade is going to very quickly price themselves out of business. I own several, but won't be buying another. Good riddance..........
When the redoubt came out, I was excited to get one, and I quickly realised that i hated almost everything about it. Blade had an uneven grind and was not sharp at all. The blade was a lot thinner than i thought it'd be. The handle felt cheap and rough on the inside of the blade channel. D2 was cool, but I'd hoped for something better like s35vn. Needless to say, at this point , I was very disappointed and promptly took back my first and last benchmade knife 2 days later and refunded it. Bought some lures and other fishing items with the refund and never wanted a benchmade again.
Well it’s absolutely clear that Benchmade ignores their customers and are not in touch with the community, I’d go as far as to say they don’t give two shits about customer loyalty and the company is being run by greedy detached scoundrels that don’t even care about knives or the brand, these kind of decisions reeks of the same kind of people who caused Colt and Remington to go bankrupt.
Reiff, please please please! Give us a version of the F5 (or both the F5 and S5) in 10V steel! It's surely tough enough for most bushcrafters/ hunters/ camp enthusiasts, but with much better edge retention. And it's still reasonably easy to touch up the edge in the field; especially in comparison to the exceptional edge retention steels in this category - namely 15V, Maxamet, etc. 10V is the perfect balance for knives of this size, design and purpose.
Here's the thing rather than a $600 knife. make a knife that everybody can have the commemoration and then make a gold class limited. Used to love the 710 and I would buy that in the $200 realm in that steel. Beyond 200 they're just pissing people off and losing fans
I have a question, is m390 obsolete as a premium or “super” steel? Also would you ever pick m390 over magnacut? M390’s slightly better edge is its only advantage. With magnacut being easier to sharpen, why ever choose m390 over it ?
Idk fellas, as a very rich, very passionate Benchmade fan I also once bought a 1200 dollar ukelele, I used to get those steaks from New Yorker magazine and the premium dude wipes that are 7500 dollars for a 4-pk
I'm just now seriously looking at CRK, Spartan and Reate. Because if a good knife costs $500 now, I want an actually premium knife, not a regular work knife with manufactured scarcity.
I love how BM pocket clips are cheaply painted garbage spring steel... it look refurbished as new... I thought the knife that started Benchmade was the bali? the axis lock is now the ONLY thing they can still say what made them great
I guess I'll pass again on the Benchmades I would feel like a criminal buying them so cheap I think all their knives should start at $1000 I would appreciate it if you would were white gloves and handle them more carefully Each one is a work of art and should be treated as such I can't believe it was free to look at them
I guess Knife Center keeps on insisting promoting Benchmade either due to signed commercial agreements or because the profit their made for each sale are proportional to the insane sky rocket nonsense prices. But the customer is left thinking 'do these nice guys really care about me purchasing good value items?' I don't whether that is a good strategy, time will tell
Just reviewing the knives to be featured list and I'm going to refrain from reading the comments and wait to see if I'm surprised that the Benchmades are reasonably priced.

I love how BM pocket clips are cheaply painted garbage spring steel... it look refurbished as new... I thought the knife that started Benchmade was the bali? the axis lock is now the ONLY thing they can still say what made them great
Newer companies are doing those locks better with less time & experience on engineering & making them + with better lockup than benchmade
I guess I'll pass again on the Benchmades I would feel like a criminal buying them so cheap I think all their knives should start at $1000 I would appreciate it if you would were white gloves and handle them more carefully Each one is a work of art and should be treated as such I can't believe it was free to look at them
good point, soon a 'look at' fee per minute, seems likely
Benchmade has lost their mind on where they belong in the knife world.
I guess Knife Center keeps on insisting promoting Benchmade either due to signed commercial agreements or because the profit their made for each sale are proportional to the insane sky rocket nonsense prices. But the customer is left thinking 'do these nice guys really care about me purchasing good value items?' I don't whether that is a good strategy, time will tell
Just reviewing the knives to be featured list and I'm going to refrain from reading the comments and wait to see if I'm surprised that the Benchmades are reasonably priced.
