What about him? He's an engineer by trade and an inveterate tinkerer which is how his multi-tool came about. He largely stays out of marketing, branding and politics as he was always found hunched over a workbench or, in front of some piece of machinery. |

A man's got to know
his limitations
| I have 11 Benchmade folders and they are nice knives, I won't be getting rid of them. But I won't buy another.

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view
| Benchmade has been my choice of folders for years up until they showed their true colors last year. I have not and will not give them another penny of my money.

Good..Bad.. I'm the
guy with the gun.
| I agree also. I was a benchmade collector. I stopped when I heard about them. Too many other nice knifes out there.
Don't count me out till you see the box go in the hole!

| Haven't bought one since this shit show. I wish more people in the military community knew about it because they have so much product they sell on base. My next knife is going to be a Winkler. Pricey but they look awesome.

| Disappointingly, three local gun stores still had big Benchmade displays recently. Maybe, it's the same inventory , unsold.

| I haven't bought any new Benchmades in quite a while. It is largely because of the gun thing, but they have also stopped making knives I am as interested in. There are a few I might consider - the Bugout, for example - but for now I am not buying Benchmade. Many of theirs are sort of extreme in style, and their prices have gotten quite high.

| Emerson, who at least nominally is a member of this forum, is 110% solid. He won't bow in the face of what's been going on. He won't cowtow. Winkler, whom I also know, is also 110% solid. No one will go wrong supporting either company, either individual, or their wives. All rock solid.
