Welcome, Peter!  I have to say that I also have a strong appreciation of Benchmade knives (& as luck would have it, I even have a balisong from Benchmade predecessor Pacific Cutlery because my parents were going through a divorce in the mid 80's -- but I digress).  I hope you'll be able to spend a little time here, looking through the photos, the groups, & the various areas for discussions (blog posts, listed discussions, etc.).  I know you're busy, but glad you found us!
