They are not, in fact.

Go one wish. Com and buy one of the clones for like $30. If you like it, consider the real thing, but the quality will be not be shockingly better, it will only be kinda better. They do keep their value if you don't trash them, like guns do
they supplied police departments with cutting equipment to destroy buyback guns, if they were pro gun they would've refused like all the other companies that were asked

I know, but go up a notch and buy the next level. The iron rule of China is you get what you pay for. $8 switchblade is literally carnival/gas station tier, $30-40 will get you on of the clones actually used by ripoff shops pretending to sell real Benchmades

It is pure unbridled capitalism at its best, exhilarating to watch the knife fights over pennies per 100c and use your noggin to swoop in and rook the crooks at their own game.

If you ever have to stab someone in self-defense, then you will be fricked legally as the Apple River stabbing case proved. I want a Combat Troodon as much as the next guy, but these things are just israeliteelry for men.
>Apple river
Anon you're (probably) not some weird motherfricker running up on 5 teens like a Hollywood slasher flick. OTF would frick you over legally because they're usually explicitly banned.
If you're in a situation of self defense and you worry about a charge more than your life then you're a cuck with whack priorities.
>jewelry for men
Sure. Except my MTs get carried and used. Could the job get done by a cheaper knife? Yes. I have a Tenacious in my rotation. I use knives regularly and its nice to have cool shit. >but I might l-l-lose it!
Sure. If you're that worried about it, throw a $20 tracker on it with some paracord. >what if I need to use it in a SD situation?
If that's a legitimate concern get one of those pistols that shoot OC pellets. You shouldn't be carrying a lethal weapon until you know what youre doing.

You ever look at the actual high end of the knife market? $400 is on the affordable side of mid-market.
If you only want to maximize utility per dollar then get a Mora and don't look back

Unremarkable high-end user knives confuse me. Like, I get expensive customs made out of exotic materials or with interesting designs. But forums are full of guys selling extremely generic looking bushcraft knives or plain puukkos for $600 because they're made by a famous shop. Here, buy this thing that's identical in every way to an Essee except it's 5% better steel and 400% as expensive.

only thing similar between this mallninja shit and an FS is the fact that the blade is dark and twin edged
I don't care if someone buys one but auto and assisted knives are worse than normal one-hand locking folders 99% of the time. And I own some so don't (you) me bro.

If you insist on buying one as a toy just some cheap shit to play with while you're watching Grease on TV.
I bought a Microtech UTX-85 just for fun. I ended up carrying it around regularly because auto knives are legal in my state. Got a few dings and scratches, but I haven't had any accidental deployments or any deployment failures. Granted, I give it a few drops of Remington oil once a year, and disassemble it every two for cleaning.
Initially, I was worried about it going off into my leg or something, but the "trigger" pull is like 10 lbs, and besides that, it doesn't retain much opening force if it goes off track.
The Exos are cool and all, but the benefit of a double action OTF over a gravity knife is the ability to open it quickly at any angle. This is far more useful that it might seem at first.

Gravity knives have a more robust mechanism because there aren't as many moving parts and none of them are under tension.
OTF knives can open at any angle you're holding it at (single action) and also close at any angle (double action). This lets you reach into smaller spaces, deploy and use the knife, then retract and, well, retract.
OTFs also just simply don't last anything remotely close to gravity knives.
You do know that OTFs were invented back in pre-OSHA fishing days where men would fall into netting and they needed a one handed deployable blade so you can free yourself from netting.
Gravity knives unfortunately spawned from kraut demon paratroopers but all you have to do anon is turn it upside down and it opens. I crawl in all kinds of fricked up confined spaces and my exo never failed me.
Meanwhile my: >Microtech hellhound >Benchmade infidel >A "better" clone microtech
All broke, all failed me, with terrible blade steeps. Meanwhile my exo rocks Elmax blade steel and keeps on going. It'll prob be my grandkids knife really.
My MT CT is a gravity knife when it fails. >but it failed!
Yes, I just induced a failure several times and checked it. Locks back snuggly with a slight flick of the wrist.
I recently bought a OTf for my birthday that cost me a week's paycheck. No regrets. I wouldnt buy the BM though. Get the newest gen Hera, or Combat Trooden.
having impulse bought one a few years ago when i stopped by the benchmade store in oregon (i made a lot more money at the time) i can tell you that it just sits in my closet and I frequently forget it exists. it essentially became a safe queen knife for me. They are cool but save your money.
Giving money to Benchmade is like giving money to a gun control group, because they write fat checks to gun control group. Don't support Benchmade. >but I wanna consoooom
There a literally a dozen companies making knives as good or better than Benchmade in the same price range.
no
do you have one
No, but I could tell you a pocket knife that doubles as a fidget toy isn't worth $500.
bingo
It's a toy, you don't need to justify toy prices as long as you aren't in debt, have emergency funds saved, and can still afford to contribute to some sort of saving/investment (or your local church if that's what you prefer).

that knife better suck and frick me for 500$.
Probably better off with a microtech if you want an OTF that bad.
OTF is dumb though
why
>not faster than a folder or fixed blade
>blade wobble
>can open in your pocket
The only area where they excel is as a fidget to soothe your autism. As a tool for cutting stuff they suck.
>The only area where they excel is as a fidget to soothe your autism.
yeah that's why i want it
Then don't get an expensive one.

Toor knives.
They also make a cool FS style knife

can you buy me one daddy
Maybe if you make papa proud, son.
yes sir
The infidel is cool and smooth but it sucks as a user. The mechanism is too brittle.
Microtech is for tools, but they can be abused moreso.
Personally I suggest a Reate Exo
The Exos are cool and all, but the benefit of a double action OTF over a gravity knife is the ability to open it quickly at any angle. This is far more useful that it might seem at first.

not really. I have an $80 OTF I got at the gun show. It opens envelopes just as well. That's about all I'd ever use it for.
I had managed to forget this moron. Thanks for the refresh.
Why’d he do it
Holy shit
