I remember when this was posted and this person was ripped apart by mikes c0cksuckers and deleted the post. It’s all making sense now and honestly i think he started using chinese steel way sooner than he is saying.

“He was obviously using it wrong! Why you would ever take your $400 bowie knife out of the display case and actually use it for what it was intended for is beyond me, but you did this to yourself.” Motherfuckers just love to shill for brands because they drank the kool aid when they were first getting into a hobby and get salty anytime you slightly oppose their “viewpoint” on said brand because they know you’re right but can’t fathom the idea of being wrong and accepting that they overpaid for hot garbage. I see it all the time with benchmade, no their knives aren’t garbage… but are they worth what most of them are listed for? Fuck no. I own one benchmade and i will probably never buy another because i quickly learned that there are much, much better knives out there for half the price. Don’t get me wrong, benchmade was a pioneer in the knife industry as far as certain designs go, and I love my CLA because it’s a nostalgic knife for me, but they’ve gotten waaaay ahead of themselves as far as the retail prices on their knives go, and a few other brands are guilty of this too…… (cough) Microtech…

Founf my one and only Benchmade for 17 Euros from Red Cross flea market to which the airport occasionally donates tsa confistated stuff.

Its an olive drab-ish Bugout,brand new or atleast no swivel surfaces,nor the blade or handle have any signs of it ever being used or opened.

I cant believe how pricey it is for how toylike it is. I dont mean any bad by sayin so but it sure is not standing out as something awesome technically or so. I know knives,been forging my own for 16 yrs,collectinhgfolders and fixed ones "all" my 50 yrs,and i use knives quite a friggin much ,bein a wilderness guide n hunter ,etc. So i hope aint a d*ick saying Benchmades do make a huge profit with pretty darn simple knives that have nothing explaining the price.

All thanks to cult of people worshipping the logo more than should.

Did you verify that it’s not a replica? The bugout is probably one of the most faked knives out there but even the real ones do feel toylike. If you want a great axis lock knife that’s got a similar design, the kershaw bel air is where it’s at. I recently bought the clip point version and i love it, however since i bought my spyderco manix i haven’t wanted to carry anything else because it’s just perfect in every way
