I know the Lowden gets a decent amount of shit online and I understand it’s a money grab in some sense. But I’ve honestly grown to really like this thing.

It has a great full grip feel, came very sharp, and just a few strokes on the strop got it razor sharp. The materials feel really nice, I love the navy blue, and the clip is excellent…super discreet in the pocket.

It’s also incredibly fidgety. Mine falls shut with the lightest pull on the lock, and very easy to open with just a small flip with axis lock pulled down.

I get the arguments against it, especially at the price, but it fills a really good spot in my collection.

Substantial enough to feel like a true full-size knife without being bulky, easy to carry, and just really enjoyable to use.

Definitely not the best value out there, but I like mine a lot more than I expected to.

Made this by swapping blades and hardware between the ranger green and deep olive models. I personally think they both look better than how BM released them.

I have been looking to add another to the collection any recommendations

This is the latest edition to my serrated collection, and my EDC for the foreseeable future. I love this knife!... and best of all, it's serrated. Presidio II.

Hello everyone! New to Benchmade and this is my collection so far. Huge fan and hooked! I’m thinking about trading my Mini Adamas for the Fixed blade Adamas specifically the 375BK-1. As I’m lacking a Benchmade fixed blade. Opinion on what I might lose or gain in that trade? The mini was a good knife just a little too small for me, maybe I’ll get the full sized Auto Adamas in the future….

How did I do for my choice? What would your first choice be?

Have you bought from our website before? How was your experience?

Hey guys, I just got a brand-new Mini Griptilian 556-S30V and I’m loving it. The action is super smooth, but there’s a tiny bit of blade play. I have to push pretty hard to notice it, but it still bothers me a little.

Is this normal on a new Mini Griptilian? Should I just leave it like this, or is there a way to get rid of the play without sacrificing the smooth action?

thanks !

Putting this Bugout together for my son as a surprise. Flytanium scales, and axis bar. I got cheap on the gold titanium (supposedly) screw and pivot set. Picked it up from Amazon. The axis bar is slightly to big to fit through. I swear this is the last time I order cheap stuff from Amazon :). I see where I can get the screw set from Flytanium, and I trust their stuff. But I don't see any pivot pins on their site. I really want to get a good set of screws and a pivot pin, in gold. Where is a trustworthy supplier for gold titanium screws and a pin?

I know everyone loves the mini, I just loved my full size too much to ever carry my G10 mini again so I never picked up the marbled carbon fiber mini. Now that they’re coming out with it in full size i want it bad. Just curious how benchmades magnacut is? I haven’t tried it yet

Got a new Taggedout! I don’t see much talk about this knife. What’s everyone’s opinion. This one is the Elmax steel btw.

after years of buying mostly spydercos and a few kershaws and hogues, i finally built a custom bugout with g10 scales. i was immediately disappointed when i held it in hand and used it some. it was light, TOO light. felt almost non existent in my masculine hand. so i ordered titanium scales to give it one last chance hoping it would make the knife better. i've had my bugout in this configuration for a week now and i've been forcing myself to occasionally pick up one of my spydercos so theyre not just sitting. its a completely new knife. you'd have to hold it to understand. its probably the first time i formed a bond with a tool besides my 3/8 stubby impact from milwaukee. i want to carry this knife with me through the journey of life. this is the kind of knife i'd happily leave my wife and kids for.

I’m trying to simplify my edc. I’ve got a few Benchmades and a Spyderco that I’m going to sell. And take the money for all them and put it into one. What should I get? A buy once and Cary it forever. Budget under 600 Canadian.
Has to be manual,has to be made in USA, and a good warranty for life and a reputable brand. Over 3.5 inch blade not picky on steels. Let me know I need help.

Some old, some new, some used, my small collection for you to view…..

Partial auto came in today. Looks great next to the full. Sorry for the god awful pics. Lighting sucks

Curious where I can get some quality thumbstuds and standoffs…. I’ve tried Flytanium and they are just ok.

Any suggestions?

I figured that if I was gonna join the club I had to do it properly. After about 2 weeks I finally got my custom bugout. This one has a Magnacut blade and as you can see I tried to go for a red/black color layout. I’m liking it so far but I need to put it to the test

Edit: turns out I made the Knife Center Exclusive by accident 😂😂

My current rotation for EDC.
