while I prefer other brands usually, I've bought 5 Benchmades (940/bugout/griptilian/mini grip/crooked river) in the last 6 months or so and I haven't had a single issue.
Wow! Five Benchmades in the last 6 months and it s not your preferred brand.. I wonder how many knives you ve bought in the last year. And what kind? What brand is your favorite?![]()
I don't know how well Bladeforums is doing regarding things such as attracting new membership, retaining new members, getting members to pay, and the like but if posts like this are typical, then the long term longevity of this place is doubtful.
dumb question, but did you for sure get it from an authorized dealer? there are so many clones and fakes floating around nowadays, i bought a kershaw blur not too long ago and didnt realize it was a fake at first, i just thought kershaw had started to cut corners and blamed them before realizing i had a counterfeit.I posted this in the Benchmade forum as well. I received this Bugout on 07/09/2020, and it arrived with horizontal blade-play. In less than a month - I lost an omega spring. I fell for the lightweight, amazing EDC hype. I just defended their QC/centering in another thread, and now they just lost my business permanently.
Put my pictures into the album for when Benchmade defenders say that there is unpictured/undocumented evidence on their QC. I wish I had taken pictures of the uneven grinds on my 940-1 too.

that bugout is rusty and the finish is worn off the thumb stud. If that is really less than a month old you need to learn how to take care of stuff.

Please, it has the primary identifying marks of any Benchmade Axis lock: a broken omega spring. Clearly authentic.It does not appear to be an authentic Benchmade. The color of the blue and the lack of certain machining marks, among other things, does not appear to match up.
