Went to shot show this year. As a possible dealer. I will say, their knives are doing some things well. But the prices, it’s going to make them a really hard sell.
You have plenty of time to save your money. Or if you can't afford it thats cool too, I'm sure you have hundreds of other knives you don't use anyways.
Or you just don’t have to buy anything from them, talk with your wallet. They sell easily at their prices so not everyone agrees. US made typically means more 💵.
No he’s right. They can get lost with their pricing. USA does mean more money but not that much more $. Primary example look at kershaw. Their USA made autos are $150-$185. If they can do it Benchmade can do it.
Benchmade offers knives around that same price point. Telling a knife company to “get lost” over $50 is kinda dumb. If they are too expensive for you, fine don’t buy them.
Microtech sells autos on average of $400 each these days, I don’t see you or anyone else telling Microtech to “get lost”. In fact knife owners are begging them to produce more as they sell out in seconds online.
Kershaw not really in the same ballpark as Benchmade. Compare Zero Tolerance prices to Benchmade. Plus you're getting the best warranty in the business. A benchmade is meant to be used and returned to them when needed for tuning up, sharpening, or replacement. All included with the price. Now if you're just going to buy one and look at it then there are better brands for the money.
One question? If the folders, that you are showing, accidentally have a lock failure, while you are using them, and they fold in on your digits, will the blade cut you? :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Came here for the comments, because I knew it would be about pricing. And it damn well should be. The new hogue mysto in magnucut, and textured titanium can be $350 then the 710 in aluminum and black blade should NOT BE $450-$650 and $1500 for the Gold edition!!!! Benchmade is going to price themselves out of business. Maybe pay attention to the comments on every single newer Benchmade video on TH-cam, I'm talking to you Benchmade.
Benchmade were expensive but still within reason. Now they are way overpriced! I mean the mini Griptilian is now more than double what I paid for a few years back!
Folks will pay 600+ for the gold class 710 but not a TI bailout, BM can charge me a premium because I love there warrinty but not an arm and leg for FRN.
Way overpriced. Benchmade lower your prices. Thry are absolutely too high for what your offering. If other USA companies can keep their prices at $150-180 Benchmade can too.
I mean the knives are worth more than that, come on now. But the new hogue mysto in magnucut and textured titanium is selling for $350 which shows what an American company is capable of.
Bench made has bad heat treats still and there prices keep going up to the point where I’d rather get other stuff and I’m willing to pay 500 bucks for decent Magnacut from other companies cuz they make it worth there price
At this point you'd be better off just getting a Chris Reeve instead of paying that butterfly tax. Doesn't make them any less sick, just sucks how overpriced they are now.
@@odie2763dude stop crying under every comment. Does BM pay you in nickels for every single comment or are you trying to make you feel better about your awful purchase choices? It’s not uncommon for some people to have more money than intelligence and sense, no need to be butthurt about it tho. Enjoy it and move on.

They sell out in many places so
@@awdobsession717 yes, that why we are a dealer but we have people ask why their prices are going up so much.
@@awdobsession717I guarantee the narrows hasn’t sold out of one place.
Intelligent knife people will get a much better knife for the price of a bunch made.
They are losing LOTS of business because their prices are way too high
Big fan of the intersect sheath. Looks like more edc fixed blades are picking up pocket options.
I second that !
I like that third one she showed going to have to look for that one
Just got into knives again I got 3 different Manix 2 with different blade steels for really good prices plus the quality is great love spiderco
the base 710 should be titanium for the $400 price, or $320 ish for the way it is.
Keep em coming!
Will SMKW be getting any of the 710 gold class in stock, or is that a direct from benchmade?
I still own a 710 (my favorite Benchmade) and I am very tempted by the new one but I know it'll be overpriced and I don't know if I can justify it. :P
Same here. I own the original 710 ($125) I don't need an overpriced 710

I need that mini. Benchmade u all be crazy on my wallet tho

No. Blades don't cut people. People cut people.
There's always one.

The entry level 710 can be yours for the low price of $600.
still going to be an instant out of stock, maybe not for you though.
@@odie2763 sure buddy sure, I bet you said the same thing about the narrows too. Never seen one out of stock because nobody wants it.
I bet that gold class one will be on sale 50% off by the end of 2024.
@@BrandonGavin_EDCI guess going Woke isn't the only way t ruin your business. Benchmade is finding another way. :

Insanity. $600 on DLT. Just insane, that’s the entry level one lmfao. I wouldn’t even look at their gold class stuff just dumb.
It's not owed to you, maybe look at brands that are more affordable to you.
@@odie2763 I can afford any brand, I choose not to waste money.
Benchmade introduces its new Fish Line in "Get Lost Blue". lol
🤔 more expensive than a hinderer xm18 eh? Yeah ok.
I’ll be having my 710 coated. That’s too flashy.
Benchmade were expensive but still within reason. Now they are way overpriced! I mean the mini Griptilian is now more than double what I paid for a few years back!
710 is a real need. but toooo pricey
Folks will pay 600+ for the gold class 710 but not a TI bailout, BM can charge me a premium because I love there warrinty but not an arm and leg for FRN.
That regular 710 better not be more than 300. I know they are probably gonna go something outrageous like 400-600, but just don’t.
Quit playin and bring back the Anthem!

@@Lyrics_manzanitaexactly so why is this aluminum knife twice as expensive?
Nothing is owed to you and you're not obligated to buy them. Maybe look at something within your price range
Nothing to do with price range dude. It’s not that it’s out of my price range it’s just OVERPRICED. There’s a difference.
@@odie2763😂😂😂😂 I love how buthurt you are. I have seen this comment on all the negative comments.
Every time you buy a Benchmade, a bandwagon hater cries 😆#buymorebenchmades
There's better Quality knives for those prices but you'll never know
Bench made has bad heat treats still and there prices keep going up to the point where I’d rather get other stuff and I’m willing to pay 500 bucks for decent Magnacut from other companies cuz they make it worth there price
You totally know what you are talking about.
they're not owed to you and you're not obligated to buy them. Look elsewhere if they're not for you.
At this point you'd be better off just getting a Chris Reeve instead of paying that butterfly tax. Doesn't make them any less sick, just sucks how overpriced they are now.
@@tysolo03 I agree that Benchmades are very overpriced, but so are Chris Reeves.
@sheltermonkey6065 have you ever held or owned one? They are overpriced, but for what you get it's still more reasonable than a benchmade
Overpriced, buy a hogue instead
This!

Absolutely hideous colors and prices. Benchmade needs to learn the kiss method and get its customers back.
