Can anyone tell me much about the benchmade infidel. I got one in a trade and not real sure what I've got. I know they carry quite the price tag. Thanks for any info.
 
You have an OTF automatic knife with a 4" blade, hard anodized handle, and an excellent company to back it up.
 
They're also illegal to carry in some states/cities, so if you plan on carrying you should check your local laws. Some people have had their OTF knives confiscated and also received threats of imprisonment, just a heads up.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like its a good knife. I know they are now legal to carry in Oklahoma the just changed last year so I'm good to go.

Automatics yes, but what about the double edge? That is still illegal in many places. Better check: http://www.knifeup.com/oklahoma-knife-laws/
Things on that specific page might need an update at some point, but a double edged knife is considered by most LEOs as a "dagger", which is, illegal.
 
Please Be careful w that da## Thing.no safety..If it still has the factory edge & if it can deploy Itcan really ruin your day...My buddy forgot his in his shorts one day..Got out of his shower & picked up the shorts not knowing the knife had deployed on tossing to the floor...Nasty is the only way to describe the cut he received...I bought him a Pro-tec Emerson w a safety for his next Birthday..Think about keeping that unit in a sheath...Mike
 
Awesome damn knife. And as a previous owner of one. ...you will regret getting rid of it if you do. I received mine free of charge and like a dummy sold it for $200.....kick myself every time I think of that.

Oklahoma went the route of KS in removing all restrictions on folders.

Folders yes, an OTF is not considered a folder technically. My question was specific to the blade a double edged dagger blade. That right there is still illegal in many areas.

OK and KS have the same law. Daggers and dirks refer to fixed blades. All restrictions on automatics have been taken out, and a bill being sent to the governor's desk with a unanimous vote will strike daggers, bowie knives, and dirks from the law as well.

While we hope to finish off OK this year, at this time you still cannot generally carry a "dagger, bowie knife, dirk knife" and although these terms are undefined in the law, typically a double-edged blade may be considered a "dagger."

But the new bill will take care of that, right? So, he just needs to wait a bit before going anywhere with it?

Oh, and great job in my home state! An acquaintance gave me an auto before his passing, and I've been able to carry it ever since.

Thanks. As to the new bill, yes, if and when we get it passed and signed by the Governor, it will eliminate the last remaining restrictions. But, don't be counting your chickens just yet, long way to go.
