I like Benchmade knives. I started buying from them back in the nineties. I still carry two from that era. Bulletproof, and they stand behind them to this day. Free fluff and buff recently and those are like new. Today, I am carrying a mini griptilian.
I won't mention names, but the president of Benchmade, a few years ago, sent dozens of Infidel OTF automatics to an Army unit in Afghanistan in response to a Colonel's request that Benchmade sell him a few to issue to Blackhawk crew chiefs. There are times when an automatic really is needed in that job. The knives were sent free. No publicity was every sought. I like that kind of statement from a company.
