Bench Made

KeyserSoze · 01-04-2007, 08:40 PM

Anyone have any Bench Made knives? I'm curious as to their quality/reputation/cost. I got one at work (for free) but I don't know anything about them. I got their model 9100SBK, an auto open made of 154 CM Stainless Steel. The website says $242, is that anywhere near what someone would have to pay for this knife normally?

They sell for around 160-ish. Benchmade is high quality shit, I own several of them. Good knives.

I have a Bench Made Bali Song, and I know of few people who have some folders. They're excellent knives and worth the money.

I have about 6 of them that I got at a discount while my dad was working there. I just got a morpho which is a smalle bali song that I love. they are worth the price on ebay or some good discount places on line but I wouldnt go to a sporting goods store and buy them, they are too expensive for me.

I bought a Doug Ritter edition Griptillian.....I love the thing.

Have been also looking to get a 710 but am too poor right now from buying training gear.

If you don't want to keep the thing you could sell it very easily on Ebay and make good money.

Back in the day, my dad's company helped riase money for them and we got a deal on any knife we wanted for 50% off. I got a balisong and some folder. Great knives...

I had a 940 Osborne, it was a good knife.

I gave it away to a friend.

Yes. Great knife company. This past Christmas, my MOMMY got a catalog from them for me, so she figured I wanted/needed one/another. So I got the CA$H to get what-ever I wanted.

What I wanted was one of the NEW ' Griptilian's '. So I ordered a 551 Griptilian, folder. Nice olive drab/Lizardy colored rubbery handle, 3.45 inch blade, half serrated. It was 117.00 plus shipping and handledness.

Great utility knife, perfect for hunting and fishing when it might get soggy out there..

PS, THANKS MOM! ( Just in case she ever picks up MMA and becomes a Sherdogger )

Not really sold on them, had a buddy who bought one of their auto openers and it broke on him after only 2 months.
