I treat my $40 knives as if they cost $100.

I don't lose knives, but when I do, it's because I dropped them in the lake.

The other direction most people tend to forget about is SUPPORTING those companies that support your values. We tend to forget.

So we should support companies that manufacture products in China???

Got my mini grip back a couple weeks ago, they did an ok job sharpening it but they did clean it up and adjust everything.

’’Losing Knives’’

Of course, being GrandPa, everyone knows that I always carry at least 2 knives; most days it is a big SpyderCo & a tiny Boker; depends on what I plan for the day. Hunting, a Jimmy Lile & a Gerber.

But, b/c everyone knows, they are constantly ‘’borrowing’’ but careless.

If I use a knife, it is immediately cleaned & returned to carry place.

Others will use one, they lay it down ‘’somewhere’’, thus the ‘’losses’’.

Sometimes I actually find lost knives, both mine & others’. Last I recall was a nice ‘’Cold Steel Tanto’’ folder in a rental truck, just like new.

I have mellowed to see this as a type of philanthropy, as most would never have a ‘’good’’ knife otherwise. . . . .

Pretty hard to avoid for ‘’everyday’’ knives these days.

As the late Alan Ladd once said in a movie: ‘’A gun is a TOOL’’.

Tiens, a knife is even more of a tool for most of us. . . . . .

I checked, only one of mine says ‘’CHINA’’ !

Even the vaunted ‘’Zeiss Optik’’ now has most of its rifle ‘scopes ‘’Made in Japan’’

I heard Dylan Mulvaney used Benchmade knives to do his surgery

You’re welcome.

Just asking as a group if our collective outrage has faded any in the 4 years since the company was shown to be assisting the Oregon City PD to cut up some long guns so they would fit into a shipping box that they were sending to a 3rd party contractor the PD uses for evidence destruction.
Here a link to the story, in case you forgot

Benchmade Cuts Up Guns, Internet In Flames

Read: Benchmade Cuts Up Guns, Internet In Flames from Patrick Roberts on February 21, 2019 for Recoil.

When I heard it, I owned about 4 Benchmade knives at the time.
Since then I have sold or traded off all but 1 of my favorite flippers

My birthday was in March and my daughter got me a gift certificate to House of Blades in FW.

I was looking at the Benchmades again..damn tempting.. but that nagging thing they did still fester inside me..although not near as strong as it once was.

Over the years we have had plenty to be pissed off about.

There isn't a vehicle made today that you are driving that the company hasn't donated or supported something you are against. Gay bullshit..trans..donating to Democratic causes..

Remember the whole thing about Black Rifle Coffee hiring an executive that donated to Biden/Obama? Yeah..don't forget that one..

And now we have Bud Light to add.


Anyway, if a member here were to buy a Benchmade would they get permanent ban? Or could a GOA donation offset that infraction?

It's hard to keep track of everything to be mad at at!

Oh no, not Benchmade!

Actually 10.

I switched to Hogue for my carry. Deka Magnacut. Couldn’t be happier.

I've noticed that the Benchmade butterfly logo is a very common tramp stamp.

 

[candcallen]

Take your word for it. I don't go around poking tramps.

Praytell, WHY should I be “mad” at Benchmade ?

Knives are TOOLS.

I get my similar quality tools at much better prices elsewhere.

So, i just don’t partonize that company.

i actually USE my knives; and, as an ex-Surgeon, I am very familiar with cutting tools.

I do not see a “paid-too-much-for” pocketknife as any “status symbol”, but a fetish.

My knives are Boker, CRKT, Gerber, etc. They function very well & give value, Thank You.
