I don't need to prove a damn thing. Google it for yourself. I just did and saw BM knives at or near $700. Their biggest sellers are in the $100 to $200 range per their words on the factory tour. The average guy isn't buying $700 knives. Clearly you either can not comprehend or you realize you are being a hypocrite and are taking it out on me. The bottom line is we all, hear that we ALL buy and support through our purchases Liberal, anti gun, anti hunting companies in our daily lives they way out number what the average person is spending at Benchmade. If you can not understand that nobody can help you.

It's a bad look for Benchmade but they were gonna be chopped either way, and I don't really care about a shotgun and SKS, nor would I have I cared to see Benchmade using the police's request to grandstand and go "all guns matter".
Nope, the reason why I don't buy Benchmade is because of their MAP pricing scheme. They enforce that their knives are sold overpriced.

[quote=longarm]MCH, you underestimated their high end knife cost by ~100%[/quote
MCH. Read the above again for comprehension. Notice: no mention of 'blue lines' or 'but the average guy' , etc etc
I'm not 'taking' anything out on you. As far as I know you're one of the good guys and I'll believe that until you prove otherwise.
Benchmade? They can kiss my freckled [bleep] ass.

Benchmade? They can kiss my freckled [bleep] ass. You are ok with supporting Microsoft, Apple, Starbucks, Target, Walmart, and a whole list of other companies. But not a knife company?

Just one question. Do you vet every single company you do business with? The list of companies that support Dem's is mind numbing. So nobody on here has any Apple Products, No Microsoft Products, and the list goes on and on. People are free to choose as to who they want to vet, why, and to what degree. Do you disagree MontanaCreekHunter? They certainly are! I would totally agree with that, but that isn't what I am asking. Example: a Benchmade Knife and I'll go on the high end. $350.00. Maybe person X buys three in his lifetime. That is $1050.00 to Benchmade. Benchmade donates 10% of that to Dem's. Clorox sells laundry detergent lets say $10 a box. Maybe person X buys 5 boxes a year and lives an adult life of say 60 years. That is $3000.00 to Clorox. Clorox donates 10% of that to Dem's. Does this sink in at all? Her is what I wrote. Person X that is average guy buys three knives in his lifetime from Benchmade. A collector is surely going to buy more than three knives. As an above average knife guy is going to probably buy more than three knives. I am sorry I didn't take the time to write a long drawn out perfect example. Please forgive me. It is late, I wanted to get the point out.

Swing and a miss, buddy. A whole bunch of misses.
BM volunteering or getting paid to destroy guns, while donating only to Dems and at the same time being supported overwhelmingly by 'outdoorsmen'? Yeah... If I owned one I would have already chucked it in the river tonight.
Anyway, I'm getting up in 5 hours to go hunting so I'm going to clock out. Adios

If that post was real I can guarantee Benchmade made some calls to that police department.
And if Benchmade is embarrassed by it, then they shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.

This. They don't have to help destroy guns. A pro-gun company would tell them to pound sand, if asked to help destroy guns. The real enlightenment comes from their political contributions. Much like Yeti, Benchmade is in damage control mode now. They will issue an official statement today... But it's too late. They will lose millions over this. I've spent my last dime on BM.... And I only have about 8 of them. That won't bankrupt anyone, but it'll get their attention when losing Pro 2nd people shop elsewhere. Benchmade made their own bed.

Instead of destroying or throwing away Benchmade knives, sell them on the used market. Every used Benchmade sold is one less sale for the company and explain in the sale description just why you are getting rid of the knife which will also encourage those interested in a BM knife to look at used instead of supporting an anti 2A company. And the longer a BM knife is in use, the better chance it will go back for warranty work further hurting their bottom line.

When they confiscate luxury items, they sell them at auction and keep the proceeds. They don't destroy houses, boats, Porsches, airplanes, or Rolex watches. When they confiscate cash, often LEGALLY POSSESSED by the OWNER, they don't destroy it. They keep it. Good luck getting it back. There is no good reason for perfectly functional firearms to be intentionally destroyed instead of being routed into the hands of needy lawful citizens for lawful uses. Or legally auctioned to the highest bidder. Moreover, I know which way I would bet if asked if some of the nicest pieces slated for destruction didn't somehow "inadvertently" end up in someone's private collection. Reserving final judgment on Benchmade at the moment, BUT I didn't see Yeti handing out free mugs at SHOT Media Day this year, and the ORCA travel mugs Leica gave out at their Media breakfast to introduce their new awesome LRF 2800 rangefinder is what carries coffee in MY truck these days. That dang ORCA with the Leica logo is beautiful. I don't miss Yeti one bit. Thinking there is a hint (  ) there somewhere. I'd be moving fast were I a certain knifemaker. Very good points Rick. Wouldn't the sale of those firearms help with their budget deficits? It depends on the dept. I know cops who have told me they used to weep at guns that had to be destroyed, even tried to buy them but were told no.

It is late, I wanted to get the point out. I understand but I have a different expectation to a company like Benchmade as opposed to Clorox when it comes to being part of the 2A community.

If you want to divide their offerings into this or that line, you've lost my interest.
I'm not a fan of BM. I've never spent My money supporting them. That's on you The Griptilian series are by far their biggest sellers and are in the $100 range. Even their autos like the Infidel are much less than $700. That's like saying because Vettes are $75K, that the average Chevy is $75K. I work for a gunshop that sells a lot of Benchmades.
