You Can Own Only One - Which Benchmade?

[sabre cat]

I like the Valet, dont seem to find it anymore

The Valet has amazing ergonomics.

 

[halden.doerge]

one of these probably Anthem if you can afford it though

How do you like the Flytanium on that Bugout. Those are probably the most attractive TI scales I've seen anyone make for it yet.

Hands down the Bugout. I don't sell any knives but if I was forced to sell all my Benchmades I own, it would be the only one left.

940. No, make that a 531. No, make that a Casbah 4400. Hmm. Sorry, can't limit to just one. Different knives for different days. Oh, oh, oh, wait! Big Spender money clip!

Last week: I would’ve said the Bugout
This week: I’ll say any that doesn’t have those damn springs involved in the Axis Lock.

I’ve had three springs break in 3 years, both on an Adamas and one on a Bugout.

Now you know why three knife threads are so common.

And I have never had one break. I would love to find out why some people have so many problems with Omega springs and other people never have any problems.

Now watch me have nothing but problems from this point forward.

The 710 and 530 are the only ones I carry anymore.

Pretty sure the Anthem is the droid you’re looking for.

It took over my pocket. The weight is just right. I got a mxg clip though didnt like the shorty clip.

I kinda want to get the GRY Bugout just to deck out with those scales.

I like them enough that I bought a PM2 with them and im not a spyderco fan lol. Do it that would look really good.

I would keep my Anthem over all others.

From what they currently make, 581. An older Osborne design at this point but still a good one. M390 with a high flat grind and good all-round blade shape, plus a nice full handle, is a pleasure to use. Works great de-assisted too.


(if I interpret the question to mean *any* Benchmade....another vote for the 710. Preferably one of the M390 versions. The Crooked River tries to fill that big clip-point hole these days but it just ain't the same.)

814 Mini afck in m2. Owned one for many years. Was lost in a move years ago. Haven't seen another in some time. What a great knife.
