I know we have a knife thread, but new thread for visibility:
If you wanted to get a new knife, you can safely rule out Benchmade. If you have Benchmade knives already, you can hurt the company by flooding the used market with cheap sales of your knives.
glad I never owned Benchmade I'll certainly never own one now, ever.
Isaiah Hughes
Yep, I'll never get one myself now.
Angel Wilson
You mutts should get on open source and see whom (((benchmade))) has been donating to for the last few years.

Just get a used MSA MICH and a Skydex upgrade kit. Or an old Kear CVC shell and do the same if you wanna look high speed. Both are perfectly acceptable for mounting NV.
I just took my issued MICH with me when I got out. I had to sign a missing gear statement and got a 6105 out of it, but who fucking cares about that shit when you're EASing?
Adrian Johnson
Cold steel jumping on the bandwagon.
Easton Russell
Baste.
Joseph King
Who knew not being a cuck could be a good business decision?
Ryder Sullivan
Cold Steel makes the best value folding knives on the market by far. look at that lock bar lol
i always had a suspicion about them, their logo is a god damned butterfly and they use that sparkly shade of disney blue paint on their knives. faggots.
taking away their pensions, sending them to most diverse retirement homes you can find them or smothering them with pillows.

massively overpriced. A few years ago they were reasonably priced but it's gotten out of control as of late.
Nathaniel Russell
look in the mirror, faggot, and then go suck off James Yeager.
Bentley Rogers
Are we talking MSRP or street price? The one I posted in is listed as 200 shekels on the Spyderco site, which is absurdly high, but every place I've seen is selling it for ~125. Spyderco proper vastly overestimates the value of their stuff, but they seem to be selling for reasonable prices.

Surefire is shit too apparently. Going to take them off the next version of this.
Wait so where can I buy shit like gladii (and not that cheap shit, but weapons I can use to kill that I can generally trust won't break easily) or wolfskins?
It's cheap but it works, exactly like a gladius should be.
Matthew Moore
gas the fudds
Jayden Wood
it used to be about 105 everything increased in price by about 25-50 dollars in 3 years. fuck'em.
Josiah Brooks
Yeah, but the price of comparable knives from Benchmade et al have risen by a similar proportion in the past few years. I'm not sure it's something you can tie to any one company, but just a general increase in demand for knives, as a result of muh EDC becoming the hot new fashion trend among redditors and jewtubers.
Looks like I am never buying Benchmade ever again…
I will probably just save up and buy a Grimsmo knife next.
Aiden Campbell
The fuck?
Joshua Gray
That poor SKS.
Xavier Gomez
These fuckers are sick puppies for destroying an SKS.
Brayden Robinson
Cut those faggots apart with an angle grinder in minecraft

Do you have autism?
Gavin Turner
I can't tell if they are sad and angry that they are destroying the guns are if they are sad and angery guns exist.
Thomas Turner
Buy a Del Tin repro if you want the best quality, historicity and price point mix. if you want the best possible sword made, you'd buy an Albion. Although even the shitty Deepeeka made ones are miles ahead of anything a roman furnace produced. Only some of the originals (most of which were from spain) was quality enough to be called steel with variations in iron purity and carbon % being all over the place.
CRKT has some good stuff too, (aside from some metallurgical deficiencies IMO) they have a solid liner lock with a retaining lock that makes knives into virtual fixed blades
