Benchmade?

[.356luger]

Ok let me say I have some experience with benchmade knifes.

That being said I'm about to buy one of these

Anyone own one of these? Or can give me some insight on the benchmade you own pros and cons style.

Link worked for me - great blade!

I have nothing but great things to say about Benchmade. Every knife I've gotten from them has been top notch. And the Axis Lock is, in my opinion, the best locking system in the world and one of the handful of products I go out of my way to rave about if ever given the chance.

I am NOT however a fan of tanto blades. But if you like them...then that'll be a great one for you. I'd prefer a Barrage with a standard blade. Likely this one. A little cheaper than the site you linked to also. [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Benchmade-Osborne-Design-Barrage-Knife/dp/B002GO85U0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1326337239&sr=8-4[/ame]

I don't like the tanto blade - if it were me, I'd want a plain drop point profile - Benchmade 580BK Barrage, Spring Assisted Opening, Plain Edge

Brad and I are Benchmade dealers. FYI

I've been on the fence about a Barrage myself, but if I were to get one it'd be the M390 blade version, coupon code listed right on the site brings it to $140.25 Benchmade Barrage 581, G10 & Aluminum Handles, M390 Super Steel, PlainEdge

Got my barrage! Planned on buyin it from brads knives but my fiancé bought it for me. I'll put pictures up tonight very nice knife.

The axis lock is very sturdy and I like the fact the safety locks the blade open. It also came with a sharp factory edge not up to my standard but a few minutes on the diamond home and a hit on the leather cleaned it right up to shaving . Very happy with my choice

 

[Charlie2]

Congrats,, Its even nicer when you don't have to buy ..!!!!

I have two Benchmade knives, and would have to say they are my favorite of anything out there. Bulletproof construction, and keep a great edge.

+1

I picked up a 556 Griptilian in M390 awhile back and it's been my EDC knife since. Holds an edge like nobody's bidness

The Axis lock is very nice as well. I wish I would have bought 2.

I used to be a pretty devout Spydie guy, but I couldn't even tell you where any of my Delica are anymore

and +1 on preferring a drop point to a tanto blade. It's likely because I suck at sharpening compared to some of the bona-fide blade freaks, but the drop points are easier to maintain an edge, for me anyway.

I have several Benchmade knives and I will say, they are built to last. Benchmade also has excellent customer service. For 5 bucks you can send in your knife, they will tear it down, fix anything that may be off, and send it back with a factory edge. Their LEO/EMS/Mil discount is 30%, so if you fall into one of those categories, their catalog becomes much more affordable.

I have carried a Benchmade almost everyday since 1997. The only problems I have had are the springs in the automatic knifes.

Knifelady do you sell the springs?
