As I was reading a thread about a possible fake Benchmade earlier today, I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to these knives in the Benchmade sub-forum....
I ran the idea by Charlie ( RevDevil ) before starting it.
As we all know, the number of fakes knives is sadly increasing for all manufacturers. Some are very obvious, some a very well done.
The intent of this thread is to help those who may be new to collecting Benchmade knives, or even for members who are new to collecting a particular pattern, and could possibly be ripped off buying one of these knives.
We do not have a constant presence from Benchmade here, but I think with a combined effort of the members here, we can help others out. Remember though, we are all human and I don't think any of us here are experts on all Benchmades, myself included...
For those who doubt any information posted here as being accurate, it will never hurt to visit the Benchmade Forum, and post a picture and question there.
They have a dedicated sub-forum for fakes, and there are a number of BM employees who are on the BM Forum regularly, and are very knowledgeable in all of their products.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
* The language needs to be kept clean, and attitudes civil, because everyone can read this...
* Absolutely no links to active eBay auctions, and absolutely no links to any other Chinese online stores.
* If you add pictures, make sure there is no water maks or identifiable info as to where the item came from. No free advertising for these chumps.
