- ** THIS IS A RE-UPLOADED VIDEO FROM THE PAST, DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE MUSIC IN THE ORIGINAL.
The legendary Benchmade Infidel 3300 is a purpose-built, last-ditch fighting knife. It is an out-the-front, double-action, double-edged 4-inch dagger, designed for pierce cutting, thrusting or stabbing. This is the knife a serviceman or operator would use when he's out of options, just as his opponent and would be killer moves in to end the fight, to deliver a nasty... and fatal... surprise.
This particular example, furnished for review by my buddy Danny, has seen military action and lots of use. Thought you all would enjoy a look...

My dad bought me one after I received orders to Iraq back in 2006 and I managed to loose it on my way back home. I have wanted one ever since. He has since passed and I never could bare to tell him I lost it. The more time that goes by the more I want one. I may have to finally buy one for myself. Outstanding video, sir!
You ever buy one? You should!
They are on sale at Benchmade main store for $115 I highly recommend you look into it. I used it on both my Iraq and Afghanistan deployment. They are a top tier knife.
@@Phantom8589 $115? What Chinese knockoff website are you talking about?
@@zachb5508 Benchmadestore, I can't leave a link. It's on sale so they won't stay that price for long.
@@Phantom8589 I got to the website. This has got to be a scam. Infidels usually are $400+
I've carried an identical Infidel since first introduced. Mine has some worn handle edges but has performed perfectly for the last 13 years or so. The action has never malfunctioned and the blade holds an edge even with tough use. For a serious discrete quick to action personal protection knife, there is no equal.
Your video made a sale for Benchmade. That knife with its used patina is beautiful.
Thanks for the 20 minute history class!
I just bought a new Infidel yesterday love it
The patina on that heirloom is incredible !! They get better with age..I just picked up a 3300bk and can’t stop fidgeting with it
I have this exact knife in mint condition. I’m tempted to take sandpaper to it just to make it look like yours because it’s so beautiful like that!
I love this knife. Been carrying mine every day all day since 2007. Good thing with these is that they look better the more beat up they are, though I don't know how the hell yours got so bad lol.
Taken mine apart 6 times now and it still fires like the day I got it, though the blade does have 7 or 8 bits of spotting on it.
These knives rock! I carry mine as my duty knife in my right lower cargo pocket, along with my tactical triage in my right primary pocket.
‘’Leave it just like it is...Great knife. Thanks for sharing. Semper fi
What a cool knife, and story to go with it.
great review Rob. I am really getting some use out of my 940.
Any updates on this knife after all these years?
Love the battle worn look of your knife.
I've got one just like it from the first year they came out. The button broke in half last year and I haven't been able to get it fixed. Benchmade told me it would take a year. Mine has very little black finish left. Got it in 2005.
How the heck did you manage to break that button in half?!?!
That was really Cool, the Real Thing", GREAT VIDEO thanks William
perhaps microtech ultratech is the best
I've got a Benchmade auto out the side. Heavy and fires very hard. It had a black finish at one time, but it's worn through and it's black and silver now. I haven't found anyone on the internet yet that knows what it's called.
Hi, could you give us tutorial on how to sharpen double edged, dagger shaped and one side beveled knive like this one? Thanks!
Love your knife reviews. Great channel. I have a request. Can you do a video on the basics of sharpening a knife like the Infidel for guys like me who use basic equipment such as Lansky ceramic rods. I recently purchased one and its ok sharp but nothing like my other benchmades that you sharpen on both sides. Can't seem to find anything on this on TH-cam. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing!
Love this knife!
I hope to pair this blade with my Sig p226 Legion.
Thomas Totten I have. Works well. Recommend
Your gun will get along better with a microtech
Take care of somthing
It will last.
I still prefer a nice 3v fixed blade edc
man the worn look looks so good on that knife I'm thinking of doing it purposely on mine. Sorry I kept my comment with the theme of the video,lol.
Yea it looks amazing, How much did you pay for yours btw?
JP BLADEAHOLIC To each their own, by if I may?🙄
Don't do that. I hope you didn't do that. It seems like that is all the rage these days.....to make whatever it is that you own look like you "wear it hard" Or "use it hard."😏
Whatever happened to "earning that battled look?" I know everyone has an opinion and I am taking my liberty to say "it's WEAK" and I feel that most "men" feel the same way I do.
Quick story I'll share with you. Happened around maybe seven months ago. An old acquaintance that I hadn't seen in close to three years surprised me with a visit. He sat down to catch up and the first thing I noticed was his hat. I don't remember the logo.....but his had looked like it needed to be thrown away. Never saw anything like it in my life on someones head. Not even on a mechanic. I told him "you need to pitch that." He took it off and said " I just bought this a couple weeks ago....it came like this." He went on to show me how it was brand new and then he made it even more shredded with sandpaper and grease "strategically placed."
When he left I told my wife that this fella was ALWAYS a "talker" - never a doer. ALWAYS had everything handed to him but never Truly Worked I don't feel a day in his life. He is what I call a "POSER." Fake denim with the tears and holes and patches. Fake tee shirts that look old and worn. He likes "the look" but doesn't want to "earn that look the right way." Bottom line : He is a Phoney in real life.....plain and simple. Don't be a phoney. Earn that look if you like it....for real. Sorry for the lengthy post, I rarely if ever respond, but I had to this time. Thanks.👍

no I didn't do it to mine but I use the hell out of it so it will get its own look one day, I own 6 of these so the one I do use the hell out of it, thanks man.
JP
JP BLADEAHOLIC carry it . It will wear quick ....
I would like to see our hear how you sharpened that blade... I'm relatively new with my edge pro. A buddy asked me if I could put a edge on a knife of his, excited to play with something different I said yes and he hands me a Infidel. I took it home and was too paranoid to do anything with it not wanting to scratch the blade of a $400 knife. I couldn't get the blade to sit on the table consistently. I've been meaning to ask ya how to do this.
Roy Gocken It's very tough on a knife like this one. I used the main bevel grinds, but they're pretty narrow. It takes a very steady off hand. I wish I had a good short cut to give you, but there really isn't one. Just practice :)
Do a sharpen video for the Infidel
It looks just like the clone, and btw I know several people of Muslim faiths that have never attempted to convert me, really good people no matter what propaganda has taught millions how evil it is, bad ass blade btw
I like it
Hope the knife wasn’t refinished, the wear looks great on it
Nice Rob. Would like to see how this compares to the Microtech, although I can't own either in my state.
Great review Rob; in that price range, I'm trying to decide between the BM Infidel 10th Anniv., BM Pagan and the MT Combat Troodon. Which one do you recommend?
I really like the choice of names on the Infidel and Pagan; represents how you'd expect these blades in the hands of the villain in movies. However, Muslims are not trained to convert or kill the people they find, lol. I don't know who told you that info, but that's ISIS, Al Qaeda and other US supported terrorist organisations, not Islam.
What did Saddam have to do with 911 ?
does anyone know if this blade from 9 years ago is the same d2 blade that they use today?
I wish they made it all in a plain unpainted version. Viv Israel!
they need to do away with knife laws all together hopefully they get redacted someday
damn good blade.
Does anyone know who repairs these other than Benchmade, I want to get mine ceracoted
Cult OTF in Russia. As APS Stechkin among pistols.
nice review! the part about the shiites though. check out the sunni.
Rob, did you do the sharpening on your Edge Pro? I've got an Infidel that I've had for years but have never sharpened it because my freehand sucks. I was able to do it on my EP, but had to nearly max out the angle adjustment and had to use the bevel opposite of the edge I was working on just to get it to match the factory edge. It works, but it isn't ideal and not very consistent. Got any tips?
+SuperSecretSquirell I did use the Edgepro, but it's not easy. The Infidel likes about 22 DPS, and you have to locate on the primary bevels, so your angle correction takes you almost to the top of your post. Not fun!
Did the one you worked on have a double bevel? Mine is only beveled on one side.
If I’m not mistaken this is a knock off infidel
Yes , it is a knock off.
I love mine but benchmade d2 is hard to sharpen in my opinion
Would you do an update on this knife?
I purchased the exactly same model from offer up and it seams to work but I realized when cleaning it that has a missing screw and a internal screw nut I wonder where can order a replacement I look online but I can’t find any parts thanks in advance of someone knows
praise kato
in the introduction what knife is that with the letter "R" on it
George Franklin I believe that is a Chris Reeves Sebenza in the left hand variety since Rob is a lefty.
Benchmade products are excellent, but i do not like pocket clips.
So they don't make this into a regular single edge blade?
Frank White They do make a drop point version of the Infidel.
I just get one to day😊
Was the body black at one time ? Wow it been around. Thanks for sharing.
Tony Briggs It was indeed. She’s a battle worn beauty.
Debating on ordering this size (3.90) or the mini infidel (3.10)
Any reference to Koran regarding what u have told about muslis extremists and Isalm? Other way it sounds a bit Nazi. Nothing personal.
p.s In Ukraine u can buy the knife as civilian. God bless America :)
yeah, a forgot to say thanks for the good review. Subscribed
ping
It’s -the infidel - ........
is that rebirth?
Benchmade don’t work close with the military now
Sure put a mean edge on them
In central Europe an obsolete blade at least for civilists 😥
Clear it
Benchmade otfs is 10 yrs behind microtech in steel and material price is ridicules for the steel they use and weak action of that knife it's a 225$ otf
Justin Horn You might have a good point, Justin, but most guys will dismiss it due to your grammar and spelling. It doesn’t exactly present you as intelligent or authoritative.
That said, the knife in this video is about 15 years old, and has clearly been to hell and back. The fact that it’s still around and working flawlessly kinda blows up your point about the mechanism I think. Also, steel is cheap, even the best modern super steels. It might make a $20-30 difference in the real cost of a knife, and that’s being generous. Then there’s the question of durability and utility. We’re looking at a double edged dagger blade. It’s made to pierce and twist. One could make the case that D2 is a better choice for that application than M390, CTS-204P or Elmax. Given those facts, I’m having a hard time understanding how the Infidel isn’t worth 80% or so of the cost of a Combat Troodon.
TheApostleP I don’t think Justin knows what he’s talking about he’s just a confused soul trying to prove how intelligent he is when in reality he’s not what he makes himself out be...
@@TheApostleP pretty sure what he meant was the action on the infidel is not as responsive or shall I say crisp and fast like the microtechs
not exactly sure what saddam has to do with 9/11 and the stuff about islam is even more misinformed, but otherwise nice knife review
Internals are garbage. Microtech all day . Love my Dirac and Dirac delta
Must be nice. 😕
Wow
You really didn’t need to spend 30 seconds explain the knife is ambidextrous. Talk a little faster too. This was like watching paint dry.
not everyone has adhd my friend
I just watched your video on the Infidel. Your long winded for a knife review.
10mins 16secs - What a shame that such a dedicated Christian should take pleasure in the killing of people of other faiths.
paul greenwood Religion is good for nothing but spreading hatred.
Agreed Vin Ellis
Yeah so lets perpetuate the notion that its ok to do that... good plan
Donjerlis, or you could perpetuate fear and hatred...?
Take pleasure in getting rid of evil. God needs warriors too.
They use cheesy name and benchmade donation to the democrats and anti 2A groups lol 😂 great company
Make sure you clean the Cheetos dust off your mom’s keyboard.
Pretty scary
Got to admit benchmade is kinda weak.
Junk.
That is a fake benchmade
How so? Looks pretty genuine compared to mine that I bought direct from BM.
+SuperSecretSquirell I've heard that fake ones don't have the butterfly on the clip but mine doesn't either
I bought mine directly from Benchmade and it doesn't have the butterfly. Just has "Infidel" engraved on it.
Modg23 if you want to little butterfly on the pocket clip you have to order it from benchmade like that.
The clones have a smooth finish.
