A knife lover needs a Benchmade knife. The Benchmade Knife Company has been making high quality knives for more than twenty years, and they are well-known in the industry for their extensive product line and excellent products. They started out in California as the Pacific Cutlery Corp., and moved to Oregon in 1990 due to that state’s more relaxed knife laws. 
Benchmade Knife Company has made a name for themselves in the manufacture of the butterfly style of knife also known as “bali-song”. The company’s logo, in fact, is that of a butterfly. Benchmade has become known as an innovative leader in the industry in the areas of design and engineering excellence thanks to the high quality cutting tools they make. You will find their knives in use by many of our men and women who put themselves in harms way as well as the everyday average outdoorsman, hiker, or hunter who wants the best knife they can get for their money.
Thanks to the high standard of design and materials used in Benchmade knives, they are situated as the high end of the production knife market. They use premium steels in their blades, and have even used M2, a high speed tool steel not commonly used for production knives. In 2009 their dedication to quality and innovation seems to have paid off in the form of two awards: Portland Business Journal’s 2009 Manufacturer of the Year and their 585 Mini-Barrage folding knife was labeled 2009 Knife of the Year by the Shooting Academy For Excellence.
Benchmade Knife Company holds a patent on the locking mechanism that is used in most of their auto knives. They also have an exclusive license on the McHenry/ Williams AXIS Lock. This mechanism is used on several of their knife models including the automatics and the manual action models.
The commitment to the customer by Benchmade Knife is also evident thanks, in part, to their lifetime sharpening policy called “Lifesharp. Just send them your dull Benchmade knife and $5.00 for shipping, and they will send it back to you with a fresh, factory sharpening job as well as looking it over and tuning it up for you. Now, that is what I call service.
Many of their knife models are available in different variants. For example, if you want a Griptillian Benchmade knife, you can get it with a variety of handle or bolster materials from metal alloys to colored composites and with a choice of different blade steels as well. This way a buyer can choose the knife that appeals to them aesthetically, will be the most useful for them, and fits more closely with their budget as well.
There are good tactical folding knife, and then there are Benchmade. When you buy a Benchmade knife you are buying a quality, lifetime-warranted, made in the USA, beautifully useful tool of a knife. So, what are you waiting for? Get your Benchmade knife now!
