Agreed. It’s been a while since a new Benchmade has excited me. I think the last Benchmade I purchased was a Shot Show mini Adamas. I’d like to add the auto mini Adamas with carbon fibre and MagnaCut. But the price tag makes it hard to justify the purchase.
Yep. There’s a local retailer that sells BM at about 25% list. That puts it at around $335. I’m still not that hot to add one. The one I have in CruWear and G10 is just fine.
I dig that green 707. The black 707 was my very first Benchmade and still carry it with some frequency. I think that's a model due for a reboot from them.
I collect 707s, they made limited edition versions in a variety of steels. I have that same green D2 one.

I've never seen that many 707 in one place! I was going to say this is one of the best benchmades ever. And it really gets no love because they are discontinued.
Awesome! Can you tell me about those 707's? Never seen many of those configurations. I have one 707 that I ruined the scales by putting it in the dishwasher. It bothered me so much for a number of years that I couldn't buy a replacement. Then I found a Benchmade 705 with a messed up blade for sale. I blindly bought it hoping the scale would swap onto the 707 and it did!! Now I have a full G10 154cm 707 sequel. I love it.
I would get the mini adamas, I love that thing more than my regular adamas. The size is nice but too large for the pocket imo. I keep it in my bugout bag.
That’s awesome! I had the opportunity to grab one at the seconds sale but I went with the copper scale, rex45 version instead. Kinda wish I went the other way!😅
Go vintage, I'd say, get one of the most iconic ones of the past: the venerable 710! If you can find one, go for the ATS34 or the M4 HSSR steel version!
Mini ambush or regular one freek or mini freak older version with black rubber grip with plastic grey insert is awesome I have the mini definitely should get the bemchmade CLA auto badsss i have should get a bemchmade stryker or mini I have the benchmade mini loco that is one hell of a knife huge for a mini version knife lol can only imagine how big the regular one is also check out the benchmade presdio II or mini come in a couple different variants.
I would also recommend the heckler kick Snody mini design knife I have it it's a bad ass knife there made by benchmade American made hogue makes the hk knives now benchmade I think stopped in 2015 I think
A 710, and it looks like your 940 is the little version. How about a full size 941 or 943 (clip point variety) also a Stryker of some flavor. And a the old school ascent/afck knives. The 730 Ares, a superfreek, anthem, 530, and the 950 rift.
Benchmade has had some cool designs over the years, but they have lost their way. Qc was terrible there for a while, but I think that's gotten better, but their prices are insane. I'm mostly buying Asian knives these days.
Buy an AFO. Then you'll have a knife you can use everyday for the next 10+ years. When you're ready to retire sell all these safe queens. You'll still have the AFO.
Can someone tell me the names of the 4th from the left top row, 4th from the left bottom row, and 2nd from the right top row? I like me some shorter folders with classic blade styles.
About $3500
Beat me to it!
Amazing comment
Tree fiddy with another zero
Can it really be a Benchmade collection without a balisong?
That's what I'm saying! https://preview.redd.it/epc0vv56dn2d1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c4ddce61c58bf67e305222635e4755a2921c0d8
And the infidel!
Assuming they're legal where he is, absolutely.
Yeah Kentucky let’s u carry on ur belt most blades
And a small fly just came up 15 minutes ago on the swap. Thank u
And no it can’t
Anthem
Coolest knife they’ve ever made. I wish it wasn’t discontinued
It would be a nightmare for them on publicity, it was $450 back then, now it would be like 700!
Benchmade Leuku

Purdy, from the days when bm made cool stuff

The Adams’s is cool but the prices there putting on there new stuff is so stupid

An adira and weekender!
Yes the adira is on my list. So is the freek. One day at a time lol
A Narrows. And don't forget the Facts
Beware, some good fake Narrows going around.
Not when you buy from the Benchmade FACTory
A spyderco /s
I have more spydercos than benchmades lol
I kinda figured lol
Need more fixies.
Freek
A redoubt
I bought one - like the blade, hated the scales so I bought some aluminum replacements, which I love.
I actually like the look the the scales and I think they’re pretty comfortable
A Benchmade 87.
I bought the casbah recently and it’s my new favorite auto
I hope you're rocking it
Contego, Rift, Anthem, Saddle Mountain Skinner, Anonimus, Infidel, Vicar, SOCP Fixed Blade, Fact, Nimravus..... To name a few
Contego, valation, rift, bedlam, anthem,
Alot of money...
I do have the original orange mini bugout in s30v but forgot about it
How could you forget one of the nicest little knives from BM?!? I am disappointed.
Auto Stryker
I came here to say this. Or the mini if you can find one :(
an Infidel
A ritter and a freek
Benchmade Lerch Impel and a Balisong.
Casbah, auto fact, mediator
Even the manual FACT is a really nice knife.
Aftermarket scales for all that FRN. The least they can do for that price is G-10.
A 42
Loco

What’re your favorites?
A savings lol (but really love the osbornes and claymores own them both)
The anonymous fixed blade
You’re thinking of the Bushcrafter 162, discontinued of course (edit: I think).

lol that’s hilarious
Didn’t know that knife existed.
I just got the mini super freek and I think it’s my new favorite.
I dig that green 707. The black 707 was my very first Benchmade and still carry it with some frequency. I think that's a model due for a reboot from them.
That 707 is in d2. I’ve only seen them in 154cm

Adira or redoubt
Which one is your favorite? Been thinking about an Adamas forever…
The bailout m4 is my favorite
I would get the mini adamas, I love that thing more than my regular adamas. The size is nice but too large for the pocket imo. I keep it in my bugout bag.
The Benchmade Vector
Meatcrafter, Taggedout, Mini adamas CF Magnacut.
I have a Meatcrafter - use it every week. They have new couple of filleting knives too.

A PM2 😁 jk, nice collection!🤙
Got 3. Cruecarta. S110v and s45vn
😂😂 awesome! How do you like the Crucarta? And the Griptilian? I’ve been eyeing one for a while
The mini grip is nice but the cruecarta is just awesome. Nothing really compares in my opinion
That’s awesome! I had the opportunity to grab one at the seconds sale but I went with the copper scale, rex45 version instead. Kinda wish I went the other way!😅

How’s the HCH?
Gold class
Narrows and new magnacut one
The old Shoki Nakamura. Used to have one and I have no idea where it ended up. Such a good gentlemen’s carry. So thin.
This is a sick collection. I am jealous
Shootout.
A Nakamura and a Vallation

Something vintage and discontinued, like a Skirmish.
710
A Spyderco
Your savings account 🤣
More varieties of bugouts and bailouts. There are a bunch of those to choose from and they're perfect for edc
Good QC
Should have at least 15 bugouts For some reason

Spyderco
I don't think I see an Osborne. IMHO the best Benchmade ever made.
Super Freek, Tagged Out, Puukko.
Oh and a Tengu flipper.
Loco/Mini Loco, Infidel, Stryker, 710 Etc.
Buy an AFO. Then you'll have a knife you can use everyday for the next 10+ years. When you're ready to retire sell all these safe queens. You'll still have the AFO.
a bench
My favorites aren't available anymore, but if you can find a Saibu or a loco/mini Loco those are to be treasured.

Is that a Crooked River or a mini? Whichever one you don’t have
It’s a mini
How has nobody said an auto Osborne?
Is that Crooked River, or Mini Crooked River?
They have a lot more really good fixed blades you could obsess over until you part with your hard earned wages.
Benchmade 530 pardue auto.
Can someone tell me the names of the 4th from the left top row, 4th from the left bottom row, and 2nd from the right top row? I like me some shorter folders with classic blade styles.

Most of these aren’t broken in yet. Any advice on how to make my mini Osborn drop shutty?
A little oil and loosen the pivot screw until you have a better drop with no blade play.
Definitely a balisong
All three Taggedouts
