    After seeing the post by Joe about the 14205 I had to go get another one before they got scarce and more expensive. While I was at it, just to make it worth the shipping, I added a couple others I've been considering for awhile. Nothing left to do now but  bask in the afterglow of another Benchmade shipment coming to me....yes!!! I will be getting a BM14205BK H&K Snody, BM740BK Dejavoo and and a BM550BK Sand handle scales....I already feel comfortable here....whoever named this group sure nailed it...Benchmade addiction....I feel like I found a 12 step program... :-)
  • Joe Karp

    Nice choices of knives Kevin, esp. nice combo is that sand handled 550BK Grip. And yes, welcome to the addiction...once bitten (or chosen) I don't think there is a cure...(;-)
  • Kevin Williams

    Does anyone know what a LNIB Skirmish BM630 might be worth? I know that's a subjective question and I'm only looking for a guesstimate. Any thoughts?
  • Joe Karp

    NIB 630 will go for $200 and on up, depending on what you want for it and what the buyer's willing to spend. Given they're discontinued, both 635 and 630 models are drawing higher prices as they disappear into safes and sock drawers.
  • Kevin Williams

    Thanks Joe! Would $250 for a used/LNIB be considered too much to pay, or put another way, would it be reasonable to think if I waited, I could find either a NIB or LNIB for less? I'm in no rush!
  • Joe Karp

    Nope, not too much. Shop around the various sites (including the Benchmade Forums) and on eBay, they're out there.

    One more thing...with Ti handles that show scuffs just by breathing on them I've begun to seek out light users already broken in. Even then these things hold onto their value.

    Hi everyone,

    This feed has been started in the forum and he is not getting any assistance.  I thought since he is interested in Benchmade someone here may be able to help?  Thanks Ya'll

    Benchmade Resistor marked CZ-USA

  • Stan T

    So I am looking at a Benchmade Bedlam, all black and auto. What are the groups thoughts on that one? Seems like a great knife.
  • MICHAEL MAYFIELD

    Hey Stan!!  I also have the Bedlam Auto, the fit and finish are great if you like automatic knives. Frankly, I prefer the Onslaught  which I have and it's Mini version, both are manual Axis lock with a similar fit and finish. 

    Stay Sharp

  • Jeremi Lett

  • Joe Karp

    Thanks Jeremy, the CE Stryker's a 910SCG, very rare. If your life was in jeopardy again I'd toss this one at you in a heartbeat. Have a good one!

     

     

     

      

  • björn thompson

    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

  • Joe Karp

    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.

    Joe

     

     

  • björn thompson

    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.

    thanks for the quick response

    björn

  • björn thompson

    i thought 20 bucks for a benchmade was to good to be true :-)

  • Joe Karp

    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.

    Cheers,

    Joe

     

  • björn thompson

    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

  • Joe Karp

    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.

  • björn thompson

    joe: gotta check that out, thanks for the tip

  • björn thompson

    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:-)

  • Chris Stookey

  • Frank yanez

    Good Luck Bjorn May your benchmade collection be many.Here is my benchmade part of my collection.What do you think?

  • Jan Carter

    Does Benchmade make a knife that would be good for the article?

  • Joe Karp

    Hi Frank, that collection, including the PCC/Sampson models is anyone's version of a prize.  Very Nice!

  • Frank yanez

    Thank you joe for the kind words.

  • Jim Lucier

    got it!

  • Billy Oneale

    Nice one, James.
  • Billy Oneale

    Frank, your collection has me drooling. Very nice collection that you have there.

    I am loving my new 810. So much so it has made me put the 760BK back in the Brag Bag

  • Brad T.

    Picking up my 940-121 on the 9/6.  Would like a 530-111 Pardue, I'll keep looking.

  • Joe Karp

    I would also love to see the 530-111, if that's what it's called. I still own my first BKC product, a 530 in 440C and carry it regularly still.

  • Brad T.

    530-111 Pardue GoldClass - Damasteel Blade and Carbon fiber scales..mmmm a nice Modern dress knife. Would go well with my business attire.

  • Brad T.

    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.

  • Russ Brown

    I am selling my duplicate Gold Class Benchmades. All NEW and have never left the safe they are in now.

    email me russ@ammoonly.com

  • Connor flanagan

    In you guys opinion what's the top three benchmades made.
  • Joe Karp

    Among the current line: I would offer the 710 McHenry, 581 and 470 Osborne models.  

  • Brad T.

    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.

  • Russ Brown

    I have two GOLD Benchmade left to sell. The 42-101 for $1300 & 1000-101 $900

    Out the door includes shipping prefer PAYPAL.

    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.
