hi i found this knife on ebay and was hopeing to get confirmation on wether this is infact a real benchmade or if its a fake, i have never seen a benchmade with the brand stamped on the handle, anyone know
thanks for the info joe, i didnt buy it yet, just bid on it, and the swedish ebay i can just let them know its fake and i wont have to buy it even if i win.
Good news Bjorn. I suggest folks that favor Benchmades spend a little time on their site, and get to know the products; and any time you and I see a knife advertised as a Benchmade for $20 it's too good to be true. Even the beat up originals go for more than that.
yes, i have been on their site for a few days just checking them out,and been on youtube aswell trying to get all the inffo i can. but its hard. and i am trying to figure out when people talk about blue black and gold boxes. i figure the boxes are those colors but are their in different bracket to? hopeing to get my hands on my first benchmade beginning on this week, a mini grip
Bjorn; it is hard to learn about Benchmades sometimes. What I will suggest is going to the the company site: www.Benchmadeforum.com and sign in, there is a lot to learn and as nice a bunch of people as are here on Knifecollector, only more dedicated to that brand.
just got my first blue box today. a benchmade 556 mini griptilian, absolutely adore the knife! although having XL sized hands it was a bit on the small side, i hope there is a regular griptilian in my future. benchmade by the looks of things have great quality control, blade centering is spot on, no blemishes anywhere and fit is finish is excelent. starting to love benchmade:-)
Well I have both of the 940-121 & the 530-111. The 530-111 is definitely a dress knife, jeweled thumb and Axis studs. The 940-121 is still going to see some pocket time, just after I change out of the slacks and button down after work.
810 Osborne CONTEGO, 710 McHenry & Williams and the 581 Barrage. In that order.
To comment on the previous selections. I find the Adamas un-weildly due to the size & weight. The Emissary would be nice, but the price compared to size and materials used don't equal out for me.
If anyone is interested(active duty, retirees, and dependants), Benchmade Rep's are ser up in the Fort Hood clothing and sales. They are offering 20% discounts and free laser engraving on the spot until tomorrow. I got a new Pika II engraved yesterday and will get my Auto Stryker laser engraved today.
I would like to thank Mr. Tom Holcomb (the southern Benchmade military representative) for being so helpful with a recent custom order Griptillian knife; and for providing service members of the Ft Hood area an opportunity for free laser engraving on any Benchmade product.
We get our leading edge orders in bulk this time of year, this is a program for dealers that Bnechmade ships a predetermined amount of each new model to them automatically and ahead of regular stocking orders. Dealers in this Program get for example 5 First production run New knives of a particular model. Each one lazer etched with "First Production Run 35 of 500 printed on the reverse side of the blade. The box is also marked to reflect this as well.
I'm not sure if I'm able to do this, so forgive me if I step on toes or bend any rules. I am selling a BenchMade BenchMite, model 3100-401, #41 of 500, rainbow stainless scales, 1.95" blade, spring assisted. Never carried, stored in box with paperwork. Asking $320 or would like to trade for Spyderco Rubicon. Can email pictures on request. Thank you.
Hi guys and gals, names Stephen. New here and not sure if this is allowed but is there a designated area in this group to post a wanted to buy ad. Looking for a Benchmade 7505-131. My email is steveharold_r_82@yahoo.com or my cell is 845-800-9920. I have plenty of cash and trade as this is at the top of my list. Also does anyone know how to get in contact with Russ Brown? He was a member here but no longer. Thanks all for looking and any help is greatly appreciated.
The Griptilian is joining the Spyderco Para Military 2, Kershaw Skyline, and the Benchmade 51 as a platform for the company’s premium handle scale offerings. Mini Griptilian scales are also under consideration, and Flytanium-branded knives are in development.

Hi Bjorn,
That's not real, it's a Chinese facsimile. Benchmade did not make that knife. Hope it didn't cost you much ca$h.

The world of knives lost a class act when knifemaker Stephen John “Steve” Fecas passed away Feb. 1. He was 66.
A long-time member of the Knifemakers’ Guild and one of the original members of the South Carolina Association of Knifemakers (SCAK), Steve operated out of Anderson, South Carolina. He sold his first knife in 1977 and started making knives full time in 1980. One of the many disciples of Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame© member George Herron, Steve made tight, clean folders in the stock-removal style and also designed knives for Benchmade.
A Vietnam War-era veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Steve was easy going and always had a joke or kind word to impart in his deep South Carolinian drawl. He and Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame© member Frank Centofante were good friends and often were seen hanging out together at knife shows.
