I would recomend going to a authorized dealer and handling one in person first. For me they are worth every penny. If your active duty military or a first responder or a veteran you get a 30% discount when ordering from Benchmade. I like them a lot and they use really high quality materials/steel. I have used Spyderco amd don't get me wrong for the price point they are great but they get a lot of their stuff from Taiwan and the Benchmade also felt nicer in my hand. The perfect amount of weight and texture.

Here is what made me decide on Benchmade
1. Lifetime warranty
2. Lifetime sharpening warranty
3. Reputation
4. Made 100% in the USA(some older ones weren't but now they are all US made)

P.S. if you buy make sure they are authorized dealers there are way too many counterfeits out there.

I'm still not sure how to post photos from my phone, but I will once I figure it out. Also I wanted to mention if anyone wanted to buy a Benchmade they offer a 30% discount to veterans! Thats the only reason I'm able to afford them. I'm not a dealer or anything I just paid full price for the Griptilian and was mad when I found out

Good morning everyone, I was just curious as to what knife everyone carries. Especially with HB1935 going into effect back in September, I would like to see if your carry blade has changed any. I have seen a few people with KaBars but thats it.

Personally mine has changed from a Benchmade Griptilian to a Benchmade Infidel while in Texas. If I am going out of state I just stick to the Griptilian. I have also been looking at DMO and just emailed them about having one made still waiting on response though. So lets hear what you carry folks!
