I used to think that way too, but then I got my first Benchmade and have been carrying this one for the past 7 years. I have never been able to keep a knife this long.<>
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.
