I'm a Kershaw, ZT and Spyderco guy But i've been wanting to try Benchmade for a while. This is the first design i've seen from them that A) appeals to me and B) is not horrifically overpriced. So kudos to Benchmade, i may finally become a customer!
Glad you liked the video, sad you didn't buy it from us! Next time. :) If you're a collector, don't use it. If you bought it to be a tool, by all means, use it! I'm not much into collecting stuff that I don't use. I love the lint and grit and dirt that accumulates on my knives. No safe queens for me. I'd use it like a boss.
Butch, it's awesome to see you on here commenting. I think it adds a ton of value to what we're doing with our videos. Thanks for your insight.
Looks like a great knife. One thing I like about BM is they announce a knife then it comes out very soon. Too many companies announce a knife and it never comes out or takes many, many months. I hope BM does the same thing with this knife as Spyderco does with the PM2; offer it in various blade steels and grip colors. As soon as they release the knife without the 1st run inscription, I getting one, and maybe even from you guys. This looks like a winner. Thanks for the video.
Good to hear! We've heard some very positive feedback on this blade.
I love it. I will wait until the first production run is over but I'll have one.
Oh and the axis lock is putting pressure on it. I tryed keeping the axis lock open and it opens very easily without a flick. The axis is what's keeping it from opening without a flick of the wrist. Open the lock with your thumb and middle finger the push the flipper with pointer finger and it flyes open.
Hell everyone,As the designer of this knife I will try to answer some of the questions here.There is a possibility of different color scales and a black blade version eventually.This knife is built almost identical to the proto I submitted but Benchmade use their axis lock vs liner lock.I chose this color g10 because at that time I was building knives headed to troops in Astan and that is what they wanted and I had plenty of it.
Lol. I have a gently used semi-serrated one. I just looked at this video because was was considering letting it go because I want the Spyderco Smock so badly. Now that I know my Benchmade is no longer in print and is in good shape, I think I’ll hang on to it. In the condition it’s in, it will only increase in value.
Thanks for the feedback. Duly noted.
I just got mine in hand and the flipper action on it is just fine, I dont have to do the exaggerated flick like in the video, idk whats up with his, tight pivot or user error but i do not have that problem with mine, G10 is grippy, and the knife feels good in hand IMO
Yeah, like KBar said, it would be cool to see a larger version, and the same scales but white and black (I know all this would add to cost and probably wont be done because Benhmade and Butch are busy!!) Just a thought, AWESOME blade though!
Just got this. I love it. New favorite EDC blade.
This knife will flip without wrist action but the blade retention due to the axis lock is a little softer.The knife feels great in hand
NNOOOOO!!!! Confession is the first step to restitution. Please, don't let this happen again. ;) We were actually just enjoying some friendly banter with the owner of Knifecenter the other day at SHOT. He's a great guy, but I'm fairly certain he doesn't back up his sales with a "make all your dreams come true" guarantee. Neither do we, but maybe someday we will... all the more reason to shop with us. Cheers!
can it open with the flipper without the wrist flick?
About time! My 15020S-1 has bad blade centering!
I think Jay would just like to see the action w/o the flick. Gives us a preview of the detent. Knife community guys are a curious sort.
Thanks for showing the blade play and centering! And great review!
How does it flip? Is it a bearing system or washers?
You're welcome!
yeah I ordered one late on the night this vid came out, I am still waiting.
Black would be awesome. I'd get one if it came in black.
Also, the Southard can be found for ~$239. I will wait till the fuss has died down and get a used one though.
I would be more excited if it was a little bit lighter. The Spyderco has a larger blade but is lighter. Maybe I'll get one down the road, but right now I'm not too excited. I'll stick with my Delica/Griptilian pairing for now
I can tell you for a fact it is a coincidence. If you only knew how long it takes for all this to come together. This knife has been in the works for10+ months.It takes a while to put a project like this together.
Just ordered mine I'm stoked
Oh and I did order the 300SN from you guys!
I won't disagree with that. I don't own any knives that aren't made in the US, although to be fair I don't really currently have any production knives. The para 2 is one of the all time great prodo knives, but my experience has been that the Taichung made knives have better F&F than Seki or Golden made knives. I think if you ignore COO and consider quality and level of materials, the Southard is still a good deal. Only reason I'm not getting one right now is I already have a custom AWT.
It says on your website it's 3.05". The 300-1 is 3.16".
Are they really different in length? If so, why? thought it's just a different grip color.
Great vid, nice knife, no international shipping.
It is a stainless steel frame but it is skeletonized to lighten but very structurally strong.
I'm waiting for it in France
Great Knife, I love it !
Your videos are top
Benchmade c'est vraiment le kif !!!
Is it really that difficult to open it without a flick? I figured the strong detent of the axis lock would make it fly out.
You should be stoked. It's an awesome knife.
Very nice knife, i prefer this one over spyderco.
But ZT561 still better from both of them..imho
This one was a first production run. Typically Benchmade prints the number of the first 1000 on the blade, theoretically making it more collectable. At the end of the day, it's all a cutting tool, right?
It seems like it has no detent. Does it require the wrist flick to use the flipper?
mine flips open just fine, i just got it in hand and have no problems with the flipper
I just got mine and it is possible to open without a flick but you have to pull straight down very fast and hard on this one. It almost needs a flick to feel right. What's the difference anyway. If he wants to flick it then flick away. It is not at all like the Southard whih needs very little to open. The angle of the flipper on the 300 is very different compared to the Southard.
Love the knife, i found that Bevel Gauge used in the video, i didn't find it on Blade HQ via search but i found one on amazon if anyone is interested search
Richard Kell Brass Bevel Gauge
Wish the liners were Ti, but love the flipper and 154cm
Would you say that the handle width is similar to a Emerson cqc? I am really digging the thin grind. More and more geometry is becoming my main consideration
What is the name of that giud you used to check the angle of the grind???
Any risk of the blade opening in your pocket?
How come my 300SN dosent have the "# of 1000" on the blade?
All the Spydercos I've had made in Taiwan have had better fit and finish than any Spyderco I've ever had from Seki.
wish it was a titanium framelock but its still pretty cool.
Hmmm maybe its just me but Spyderco comes out with a flipper once release Benchmade comes out with a flipper with also brown g10 handles.
Nice. Anyplans for one a little bigger, maube at least a 3 and hald inch blade. Either way, looks like a win to me.
I bought this one online for just over 100 I couldnt find a southard anyless than 250 anywhere. That being said the southard is a nice knife, and I might pay that price if it was made in seki city but I just cant bring myself to pay that much for a knife made in Taiwan
Bearing system for future versions? That way Ben doesn't get abused by Jay, lol.
This knife is built with bronze washers and is very smooth
you guys got an ETA of when this will be shipping?
Great video! I just purchased this knife from a local gun dealer. It's a tank! One question, mine is a first production knife. Should I not use it?
No. The detent is really light, but once you get used to it, you can flip it easily without wrist flick. Just like all flippers.
1. Cool knife.
2. Spyderco didn't invent brown g10 with flipper combo.
3. Brad Southard designed it!
Is this benchmades first flipper?
where did you get the little thing you used to check blade thickness?
The thing used to measure the thickness is called a caliper more specifically that was a digital caliper
Can you buy those angle guide at blade hq?
Cool knife!
I wouldnt say its a spyderco copy. I think the spyderco is priced way too high for a foreign made blade. I own more spydercos than any other brand and I am getting this over the Southard
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I prefer US made blades, and all I am saying is the Southard is the price of 2 paramilitarys and the paramilitay is a much better knife. Just my opinion
Personally I prefer the kind of flipper the ZT 560 has, how it's thin and long. I don't like the wide flipper thing this knife has.
I could also do without the grooves cut into the handle that shows the two-tone.
When do you guys think you guys will be restocking this knife
Kevinthewiseone this is an old comment, but they are now out of print. Not sure as of when. I have a carried but only gently used one (semi-serrated) and would consider parting with it for the right price. I want the Spyderco Smock badly, but this thing in this condition will just increase in value. I’m trying to convince myself not to let it go.......:/
I WANT IT !!!
Want this so badley i just posted a different knife for sale. Be looking for my order soon guys!
Thanks!
A brown G10 flipper eh?
ice, just wish it was bigger
Still waiting for Benchmade to get rid of 154cm. S30V or 35 is far superior
You guys are out of stock I had to buy it from knife center I'm sorry!
This is benchmades first flipper
nothing like using the "tactical clothes pin"
Settle down brotha! I just took this blade to three separate people in our office. None of us could open the blade without flicking the wrist... no flick, no open. It's not a spring assisted blade.
Compare whit manix 2
o god not the zt 0560/61 knives i have one and hate the thing
Even though they are copying spyderco it is more affordable and I WANT ONE!!!!
Don't say "gravity!" What are trying to get these things banned?
I think he meant, stop moving the knife so much. I would also like to see a still of the knife on the table for at least 20 seconds while you talk.
Pretty heavy for a 3" blade!
Actually i carry a cold steel sometimes lol damn
I want it right meow. If I had the cash.
Technically he is flipping it.
Brad didn't design this... Encase someone thought that's what I meant.
Thing is fucking sick, dont like the brown scales! WHY MAKE IT SAME COLOR SCALES AS NEW SPYDERCO FLIPPER!!!
...take my money
got this at my local gun shop for 110
lol sorry i was just tooo excited....
Spyderco Southard wannabe? Flipper and brown / tan G10, come on Benchmade...tisk tisk...
That's lame if it's really that stiff.
I disagree there not garbage...what do u carry a fuckin cold steel lol
Not really...
benchmade copy cat
Can it open without a wrist flick?
