After Benchmade's debacle of cutting up guns for the popo, are we still not buying their products? ____________________________ NRA Life Member, GOA, MGO Annual Member, Annual member MRPA | ||

I haven't bought any, but I was getting tired of their somewhat over-the-top newer designs, too. It is a combination of factors for me. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I'm not. Just because a little time goes by doesn't fix that they are working with the enemy. Spyderco! | |||

I won't buy one. I bought one for my son before the debacle, but I won't do so again. There are plenty of other good brands out there. "We may consent to be governed, but we will not be ruled." - Kevin D. Williamson, 2012 "All the citizens of this land are of right freemen; they owe no allegiance to any class and should recognize no task-masters. Under the chart of their liberties, under the law of high heaven, they are free and without shackles on their limbs nor mortgages upon the fruits of their brain or muscles; they bow down before no prince, potentate, or sovereign, nor kiss the royal robes of any crowned head; they render homage only to their God and should pay tribute only to their Government. Such at least is the spirit of our institutions, the character of our written national compact." Charles Triplett O’Ferrall of Virginia - In Congress, May 1, 1888 | |||

I’m not. Less for cutting up guns and more for their political donations to the democrats. Georgia Carry MemberNRA Lifetime Member “With no police to protect you, did you own a gun?

There are other knife brands I'd rather send my money. | |||

I have several Benchmades that I like a lot, and will still use them and enjoy them as they are quality cutting tools despite the idiocy of the people that run the company. Having said that I don’t see myself buying more in the future as I have gravitated more towards Microtech as of late and have so many excellent Spydercos, I’m covered from all angles. | |||

IF, I need to buy another knife, it won't be purchased from Benchmade. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

I'll continue to use the ones I own but I'll never buy another one. It's sad, it was all I carried. | |||

Same here. Will carry and use the ones I have, albeit with a lot less care than before, and will never ever buy anything from them, again. Will never forget what they have done. Lesson learned and their loss. Frank Dogs are gifts from God, full of love.

My sentiments as well. I had an old 531 Pardue that I was going to send in the following week for their service, as it needed a new pocket clip and blade needed sharpening. It's still sitting right where I left it in the back of my drawer, and was replaced by a Spyderco L'il Native “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

Glad to see that I am not the only one who feels this way. I too have two of their automatics purchased well before the shit storm they created for themselves. When these break, or wear out, they will not be replaced by anymore of their products. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, GOA, MGO Annual Member, Annual member MRPA | |||

Precisely! There's a mini-reflex ii automatic in my pocket always and now is used for opening boxes and letters and anything else a simple pocketknife would be used for. Have a nice gentleman's edc kind of one that was going to give to my FIL, but he's no longer in good enough condition for something like that. Will figure out something to do with it.

Yes, couldn't add anything that hasn't already been discussed here already. | |||

There are certain artist who have run their commie traps about 'Murica or guns or capitalism. I won't pay to see their movies or purchase their music new. However, if I can buy tose things second hand so they get zero royalties, I'm good with that. Same with Benchmade. If I find a used knife in a classified ad or pawnshop, I might just buy it. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||
